  • Yea, but he is using chipsounds which is emulating the CID chip and I have always felt that Plogue Chipsounds sounds a little dry. They lost a bit of that analog punch those actual hardware chips have.

  • Nice. I always loved the cid chip on the C64. :D Even today it sounds awesome.

  • @Leoooonard The sid chip is most definitely real analog sir. Portions at least. That's why it sounds so raddddd

  • @wolfeedarkfang where is my cookie? It better not be raisin either!

  • @Cybertronic72388 YAY you can correct a typo made 1 year ago. Want a cookie?

    I know how to say it. Typos happen. Sheesh...

  • @wolfeedarkfang  it's SID.... SOUND INTERFACE DEVICE

  • @dante666diaz bro the c64 is a digital system so is the sid chip , not to be confused with analog like lets say a vinyl record is

  • @inphanta

    It tried to model the way in which analog setups typically worked, so it's not that far off. But you can hear a certain "uncleanness", roughness that chips of that era had because of their simplicity.

    I too like the charm of the older filter, but I guess there should be also tunes that were written for the new filter and sound better on that one.

  • @GentleSavage1: Fair enough, I stand corrected. I was always under the impression that it was the sample-based chips such as the FM (as you say) and the ones found in 16 bit machines like the Amiga and the popular consoles onwards that were digital, whereas older chips like the SID and Yamaha/AY chips were analogue. My bad. But yeah,the filters are definitely analogue, no doubt about that. The SID could also output digitised sound via a 4th channel through programming tricks.

  • @inphanta cont' 2

    My guess is, you might confuse the sound shaping setup typical for early analog synths with "analog", others like FM becoming the first popular digital synths as contrast, what stuck in the minds.

    But that sound is (basically) not bound to analog-electronical implementation at all.

    Or you caught that just by hearsay. And I've heard it being said a lot of times :-D
