Plogue chipsounds VSTi RTAS Standalone v1.5 x86 (READ NFO)



chipsounds authentically emulates several vintage
8-bit-era sound chips (plus variants), down to
their smallest idiosyncrasies. It also faithfully
allows you to dynamically reproduce the
accidentally discovered sounds effect tricks
and abusive musical techniques that were made
famous by innovative chiptune composers and
classic video game sound designers, which for
the good part of the last 2 decades, have
pushed beyond the boundaries of the
original chip designs.

chipsounds is powered in part by Plogue's powerful
ARIA 64-bit sampler/synthesis engine that also powers
Garritan's complete new product line (and is also
featured in many third party applications). chipsounds
reproduces the exact form spectra of the most sought
-after classic sound chips, including their most
well-known variations, as sonically accurate as
possible without adding any non-authentic
aliasing or DSP artifacts.

Research and analysis for this project has been
made in house on Plogue's large collection
of cartridges, modified consoles and classic
computers owned by the team and also on the
chips themselves using custom made circuit
boards and low level 8 bit software code.

Chips analyzed and included:

TIA (used in the Atari 2600 & 7800):

• Accurate Multipulse/Polynomial bit pattern
waveforms for those unique combat, engine
drones and powerful mix piercing "fake-saw"
sound (used 2600 and 7800 consoles).

2A03 (and its GB variant) (used in the NES and GB):

• Accurate pulse width settings (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4).
• Drawable 4bit/32 step band-limited Waveform.
• Huge number custom and classic waveforms to choose
from, including the unique triangle sound of the NES.
• Short (93/128bit) and Long (32767bit) noise
patterns accurately modeled.

AY-3-8910 (and its numerous clones 8912/8913
/8914/2149F) (used in Intv, ZX, ST, Arcades):

• Emulation of Sync Buzzer Envelope Looping tricks.
• Accurate logarithmic 4Bit DAC.

POKEY (Used in 400/800 series computer and Arcades):

• Fat and accurate Multipulse/Polynomial bit
pattern waveforms with clock desynchronization.

SN76489AN (and its SN76496 SN94624N predecessor)
(Used in the ColecoVision, SMS, BBC, TI,
PCjr, Tandy and Arcades, that leaves very few):

• Basic and RAW, the purest chip there is.
• Different NOISE patterns for all
variants, all emulated.

SID (including 6580 and 8580) (Used in the C64):

• The most important sound chip of the '80s gaming
era. • Variable Pulsewidth, SAW, Triangle, 8bit
noise and even combined waveforms.
• Most waveforms are actually SAMPLES of
the real thing for 100% accuracy,
especially for the combined waveforms.

VIC-I (Used in the VIC20):

• This chip is very underestimated gem with
totally unique sounding waveforms.
• Newly discovered "Robotic" waveforms are emulated.
• Rough, nasty noise pattern too.

Plogue updates chipsounds
to v1.5 - 24th August 2010

Plogue has updated chipsounds to v1.5. In addition
to having a totally new Interface and improved sound
authenticity, Plogue is saving 3 new sound chips
from extinction and adds many additional features.

UI Changes:

• Totally different skin
(fits on all monitors and ebooks).
• Current mixer strip is always available.
• You can now enter some values using keyboard.
• New Amplitude LFO added.
• Two assignable drawable user LFOS.

New rescued chips:

• uPD1771C (as used in the Super Cassette Vision).
• uPD65010G (as used in the PV-1000).
• M5232 (as used in the Poly-800).

Healed chip:

DMG-01's wave channel now has extra phase modulation
(Pmode) and vertical offset (VPOS) settings.

Effect Changes:

• Added new MIDI Delay Module.
• Added Swing to Arpeggiator.
