If you get a MIDI interface, yes, you can play it as a synth using Sidmidi
by Kingfisher of Triad (Linus Walleij) who uses it in his own music. But I
can't find it on the Web anywhere.

Or get a Sidstation:

For about 400 quid, and play a 20-year old 3-voice analog/digital
synthesiser. (!) But it has high quality amplification components,
apparently, so sounds great. It's probably not bad.
