How is this compared to Plogue Chipsounds? I have not found anything better in chip emulation than Chipsounds, but I would be interested in this if the chip was a lot better.
Plogue chipsounds, while its sound is varied and among the best of its class, does not perform the Yamaha-style digital FM synthesis (which is actually closer to PM synthesis than pure FM synthesis) found in the Genesis, Neo-Geo, and arcade machines of the time. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if somewhere down the line Plogue released something that does indeed perform Yamaha-like digital FM synthesis, and in the meantime we have FMDRIVE :).
Plogue has a new Chipsynth, which might stir debate as to whether it sounds anything like a Genesis. Meanwhile, wonderful FMDRIVE costs only 1/5 as much.
There is a free Genny VST. It supports all the features one can want to emulate the sound of Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in a modern DAW.
