HyperSID is a tool for bringing the famous C64 SID chip sound to your music production. It consists of two parts: 1-HyperSID VSTi that acts like a MIDI controller 2-HyperSID Hardware Unit (Sound Engine).

This is not an emulation of SID , Hardware unit is utilized with a real SID chip and the sound is truly analog. Several people helped us to develop this project including this forum members and I would like to thank all of them Specially (Djaram,AM,oddson,NAS,...). Its so great to see your feedbacks about VSTi,Hardware,audio demos and overall project in this topic.

I didn't do anything except get really really excited and start spreading the word about this badboy It's a great project and has already been afforded a great respect from the MIDIbox designer TK He has offered to help these guys port there firmware for the hardware to MIOS which is a huge thing Not many people are allowed to use MIOS in there products and it is a testament not only to these guys but SM too Soft and hard DIYers kickin it together

I sincerley wish you guys the very best with this project and i really see great things ahead for you 😉

Mad respect

Hey there, What a cool project! I'll check the demo sounds now. Cheers

I've been a fan of this project; I wish I could afford one! ...unless you want to do a swap for me optimizing your VST? 😉

HI Guys I am wondering if any of you know of any way to run one of these using a mac. I have a hypersid and need to know if there is an alternate software that will run on logic using AU style plugins. Any tips would be great as I have already emailed the makers and they tell me they havent developed one yet. cheers

we must wait for SM to support mac, But Due to many requests for mac based version of HyperSID software plug-in it is now being developed using another platform.

monkeymarc ·

great. I can't wait. I wonder how long this will take?

I'm also working on a "hardware unit", but I use a microcontroller as sound generator. I've posted a preview at ucapps, but it is far away from being finished: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=12490.0

At the moment I work on a filter, which is quite hard to code because there is no FPU on the chip 😈

New updates For PLugin and HW OS:

v1.2 Additions & Fixes:

-Added advanced LFO (freq=0.01-30.00Hz with 0.01Hz resolution per step) -Added new filter envelope (range=0.001-4s with 0.001ms resolution per step) -Added new envelope2 which can modulate Pulse Width,Pitch and lfo rate. -Added ultra fast arpeggiator which is capable to produce classic and SIDish arp up to 4000bpm tempo. -Added save and restore for MIDI-out device -Added auto preset update after plugin startup -Fixed a problem with displaying MIDI device names more than 26 characters -Fixed OSC3 synchronization bug -Fixed a problem that was causing the played note to be sustained or muted when using pitch wheel. -Fixed unwanted note sustain when switching from mono to poly mode. -Fixed a bug in processing note off message with zero velocity -Fixed FPB button inverse function -Fixed transferring FPB(Link to) status to HW unit while sending a preset -Fixed a problem in SID oscillators noise waveshape that deselected other waveshapes -Fixed conflict in MIDI device which caused freezing in Nuendo and Cubase -Migration from non-standard MIDI messages to NRPN for parameters that need 14bit resolution -Updated all parameters names to the new recognizable groups -Improved preciseness while responding to host automation -Improved frequency display for SID filter and PW -Huge GUI redesign -Cured keyboard problem which did not respond to mouse click -Preset manager drop down list is now limited to the plugin window -2x faster startup and much less CPU usage for plugin -Redesigned factory presets
