video uploads by Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc.

Playlist:

1. Introducing chipsynth C64 - "great overview of OPS7 from @tssf"
2. chipsynth C64 launch demo (PAL C64C capture)

"The great chipsynth C64 launch demo from 4mat!
Running on an ACTUAL PAL C64 and captured using a RetroTINK 2X-Pro and generic HDMI capture for video. Audio was captured using our reference M-Audio M-Track then manually resynched.

Code and Music: 4Mat
Graphics and concept: 4Mat and Plogue.
The actauly binary is shipped with the product, but should (and can) be spread outside no worry!
Enjoy!"

3. Exhausted dev noodles with the "EMU" tab in chipsynth C64.

As is now customary each time we release something, an exhausted David tries to show some of the product's feature candidly and without filter (pun indented)

"The new reference for SID emulation

FASTLOAD chipsynth C64 into your music software and RUN the biggest, baddest sound of the 8-bit generation!

Put a tantalizing cascade of thick pulse width modulation, smashing digital drums, soaring arpeggios, and unidentifiable twerky groaning warbly dins under your giddy fingertips.

Skip over the need for obscure tools full of big columns of hexadecimal numbers, and instead load up your favorite music software with the easiest way to get the C64 sound. A vast preset library will fill your heart with an infinite tessellation of big tones that twist and turn and tumble.

Want to make patches with deep, unusual modulations hitting any parameter you can think of? Perhaps you want to modulate pulse width at audio rate? Do it all using our intuitive chipsynth graphical modulation system, which lets you do all of this without needing an engineering degree and easily join the culture of extremely animated sounds found in SID music!

CHIPSYNTH C64

Plogue chipsynth C64 brings forward the deepest SID sound chip emulation ever. The fruit of years of laborious research, it bears our legendary desire for emulation perfection. Real chips in the field vary wildly in sound - every slight deviation in silicon composition radically changes the character of the filter - and we went all out on capturing this.

We reproduced no less than 32 different SID chips in excruciating detail, covering the full rainbow spectrum of SIDs: every revision of 6581 and 8580 from R1 to R5, every tone from warm to bright to clean to distorted and gnarly.

This is a full, REAL emulator that can actually play original songs natively and accurately, with a full-featured SID file player capable of playing even exotic songs with multiple-SID setups, sample playback and hard filter overdrive.

They said it was all bleep bloops. But it's GOOD bleep and bloops! And we couldn’t be happier. And, as always, no samples are used, it's all true emulation!"

Plogue chipsounds

From the makers of Plogue Bidule:
"Plogue’s new soft-synthesizer turns your VST/AU/RTAS host into a classic video game console, vintage 8bit home computer and even an 80’s arcade.

Plogue chipsounds authentically emulates more than eight vintage 8bit-era sound chips (on top of their variants), down to their smallest idiosyncrasies.

But more interestingly, it also faithfully allows you to dynamically reproduce the accidentally discovered sounds effect tricks and abusive musical techniques that were made famous by innovative chip music composers and classic video game sound designers, which for the good part of the last 2 decades, have pushed beyond the boundaries of the original chip designs.

In short, whether you are looking for a new arsenal of UNIQUE sounds as the basis of unique modern music OR to remix classic game tunes (or emulate its disctinct styles) look no further!"

Plogue Releases New ROM for the NES & Ninstrument Modular CV Integration

livenes from Plogue controlled via Eurorack Modular Published on Sep 23, 2014 Ninstrument.com

"Plogue has released a great little ROM for the NES. It allows direct access to the registers in the APU (Audio processing Unit). In this vid I show an NES being controlled by a eurorack modular synthesizer. Big props goes out to David over at Plogue. More info available at their site.

http://ploguechipsounds.blogspot.com/

Carts and Eurorack Mod info will also be available soon on

Note the CV input should work with 1 volt per octave signals including all modular formats and synthesizers that support it.

Multi-sequence #1 (Plogue Bidule + Elektrostudio ODsay VSTi (x3) + Audacity)

YouTube Published on May 3, 2012 by GruithuisenCityMan

"This is not some Cubase stuff or something else of the same kind. This is three virtual sequencers i have built with Plogue Bidule synchro at different tempos and transposing one and each other in a complex manner. The result sounds a bit like algorithmic music though it's not. It sounds a bit like Europe Endless's Kraftwerk too. I deeply do love Kraftwerk's music but that was not at all made on purpose. Anyway, i keep it like that. By the way, i didn't play one single note of that track. Sequencers are my friends and i did just let them play.

Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made with Plogue Bidule, the Elektrostudio ODsay VSTi (x3) and Audacity. Enjoy !"

chipsynth PortaFM: Now with OPL2!

video by Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc.

"This updated version of PortaFM now adds the AdLib/Sound Blaster's classic OPL2 (YM3812) emulation core to the existing OPLL core (hot swappable)
Video by [TSSF] https://youtube.com/tssf
Music by Madbrain (Hubert Lamontagne)"

"Vintage 'portable' FM synthesizer

This chipsynth is a unique two operator FM synth with a very quirky feature set.
The late 80's 'PSS' series was cheesy and made of plastic but had a very unique sound which was lost to time. Some of the most well known examples of synthesizers in this series include the PSS-140, PSS-270 mini keyboards and the SHS-10 keytar.
On home computers, the iconic AdLib and Sound Blaster lines of sound cards used the same line of chips to give a musical voice to the PC, becoming the core of the sound of 90's DOS games.

Not willing to just copy the past, we designed a NEW synthesizer that features the same sound generation found in these synthesizers, but this time with much more processing power to control and modulate its features, all in a convenient virtual instrument form.

PortaFM uses a pair of cycle-accurately emulated FM chip cores for its main synth engine, switchable between OPLL (YM2413) and OPL2 (YM3812). Another core is dedicated to the the drum sounds, and all of this can be layered creatively.

The unique 'lofi' quality of the OPLL and OPL2 chips was never recreated this accurately before. Plogue's experience of more than 15 years studying vintage digital sound generators was pushed to its limit. Brand new mathematical models were built using our custom Hardware-assisted systematic testing procedures by our in house reverse engineering team in Montreal.

Oh, and of course, it does not use ANY samples!"

1975: The first speech synthesizer IC was born. [To Return in 2015 with Plogue's Chipspeech Project]

Published on Jan 12, 2015 Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc.

"In 1974/1975 Dr. Forrest S. Mozer licensed his unique voice compression technology to Telesensory Systems, Inc. (TSI).

Encoding words was a very complex and time consuming process. Something only he and a few of his colleagues could do. Most of the TSI/Digitalker-using consumer devices of the late 70's and early 80's used Dr Mozer's own voice, compressed by a factor of 100.

This is the voice you are hearing in the video.

Last year we've obtained his authorization to use his voice for our 'chipspeech' project.
Thank you infinitely Dr. Mozer!
