I had the pleasure of seeing Leif unveil the original VIC-MIDI cart a few years back, and it's just as rad as you can imagine it being. I manage to hound him about it any chance I get. It also helps that he's coming from more of an industrial music perspective.
Check out https://github.com/LeifBloomquist/VICMIDI/ for more info.
Note that viznut will be playing a role in this project as well. A viznut/Jim Brain (amazing customer support) and Leif Schema team will create something nothing short of awesome.

I myself have hounded Leif about this. Now to get a vic-20. 
Woah, I'll buy this. My VIC is getting no use! viznut?! Maybe crazy waveforms... 
Necrobump.
Does anyone have info on a new release date? I've got the program itself (on accident!), but I'd rather purchase the hardware opposed to building/troubleshooting/etc.
What software supports this? I'm curious if this is a way to control the VIC's sound via MIDI, or sequence external gear with the VIC. Hopefully the former :-)
None. It's a simple hardware/software interface. No sequencer, etc.
Looking into building this, if it doesn't come out soon. Just need to improve my (currently non-existing) 65xx coding skills a tad.
There is some brief slideshow available about it for those interested: http://www.slideshare.net/leifbloomquis … dore-vic20
Looks like the way Viznut is going to be involved is through the waveform tricks he invented (as described here). These were for example used for the speech formants in Robotic Liberation/Robotic Warrior.
OH Yea 
Hoping that VicTracker will be supporting this.

@TSC: That hardware looks pretty sweet!
