Today is my birthday and so I bought myself a little present.
The new Plogue Chipsounds VST Synth.

“chipsounds simulates the following sound chips at a never before reached level of authenticity in a software synthesizer:2A03, AY-3-8910, DMG-CPU, P8244, POKEY, SID, SN76489, TIA, UVI and the VIC-I.

…

Powered by Plogue/Garritan’s ARIA virtual instrument engine, chipsounds reproduces the idiosyncrasies 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.”

Plogue chipsounds is available at an introductory price of 75$ until November 1. 2009.

“Want to sound like SID?”

I just stumbled upon an pretty much unknown VST plugin which imho deserves a place in the spotlight.

It is called Retro-gs01:

It is pretty much the best sounding emulation of  retro-games-nintendo-atari-c64-sounds stuff, that I know of(besides the quadra-sid and the odosynths). It is easy to use and for 16$ !! a major bargain!

If you, like me, have grown up with a nintendo controller in your hand you should definately check it out!
