Looking forward to it!

Me too!
Seriously we stopped giving dates because we are always wrong.
Needs to be perfect.

Thats interesting. A SID doesn't have as many registers like typical FM synths to make this interesting, but I'll think of something. We are putting final touches on our :SNES: one right now (chipsynth SFC)
however.

how does the chip work? afaik it uses samples doesnt it?

which chip? the SID chip uses a digital waveform generator and analog filter.

SNES chip is fully digital

the Plogue emulations are modeled, I believe

It uses a compressed form of audio called BRR (bit rate reduction) to store samples and wavetables yes. But it also has a noise generator, custom interpolator and and a unique echo/delay/filter thats very characteristic.

Combine that with carefully crafted samples and you get very close to experiencing
making soundtracks for the hardware circa early 90s.

There is of course more to it, but can't say more for now.
Cheers

EDIT: Of _course_ its modeled

So, you will bundle a bunch of pre made samples?

SFC doesn't really do much for me, I guess I'm not the target market tho. As I said before in this thread tho I think PortaFM is one of the best plugins going.

Please make a sampler to rule all samplers in vsti land. I feel like you could top TAL sampler for me!

The chipsynth line has many different entries in the pipes still and some are unannounced. We hope to release one or two a year for the next 6 years. Each one with the same deep research and modelling. SFC is a welcome change from FM we think haha.
(we have two more FM synths in the future)

I believe a DX-7 is in the pipeline as well ?

If yiu are going straight to the top with the dx7, I guess the second onde will be the TX81Z

We basically had the initial idea of cramming all classic FM synths in one product called "YM/FM"
but that quickly became a design nightmare and decided to split them up. So I guess yes?

What's up at Plogue?
