Good to see the HardSID getting better distribution in the US, though. It's mostly been an European thing these last few years since it came out.

I saved a few SID chips. I guess I have a used for them now! One of the few times saving anything ended up paying off.

Inspired by some great tunage and a wonderful editor program (Music Editor??). At the time a real synth was beyond reach Great to see it being supported in this way. Almost makes me wish I'd made a deal on that stack of 20 or so C64s I saw in a pawn window a few years back. I spent many hundreds of hours playing with the C64 chip back in the day.

As much as I love reFX's emulation, you just can't beat the original! God I hope these cards have a VSTi bridge for use in DAWs. As much as I love reFX’s emulation, you just can’t beat the original!

The heart of the ESQ-1 is the next generation of his designs, but it used digital wavetables. I think the filters were pure analog, tho. Bob Yannes designed the SID before co-founding Ensoniq.
