Wow lots of hype about this out today - it showed up twice in my youtube feed.

It does sound pretty good. Not sure it will see much use outside of demoscene musicians though. I would love to be hearing more c64 music in my life though, glad Chipsynth exists.

Now what am I going to do with the half dozen SID chips I've been hoarding for the last 30 years?



There are bands which use SID chips/sound in their music, and they are not demoscene musicians.

Machinae Supremacy comes to mind [0]. I esp. selected a song which their SID tunes are very audible. Normally they do it way more subtly.

Let me know if you want to get rid of them ;)

(I think the Sidstation is the only synth I regret selling, well maybe together with the Jupiter-6)


TherapSID (mentioned elsewhere in this discussion too) [1], looks to my eye to be a viable alternative to the SidStation. I have a deep love for the SID sound, despite never having a Commodore as a child (I am just a wee bit too young) and the SidStation and now TherapSID tempts me to try to learn play an instrument despite being an adult. They just look like so much fun.
