This is awesome! Great work.

This is a great comparison. I am pretty sure I have a R3 revision given the samples.

It would be interesting to see a comparison with the modern replacement chips included too.

Well i've ordered an FPGASID. Tried SwinSIDnano, it's ok, but not ideal. Fingers crossed that FPGASID is better.

Really, thats exactly what Ive been looking for...

Im about to order the TherapSid for Twisted Electrons and wanted a resourse for the MOS SID Chips. Im considering a mix now 6581R4 and 6581R4AR if I can find them!

Any take on the Nano SwinSID Ultimate?

Realistically, sourcing these chips for them to fail soon (?) would be a bummer. YouTube reviews seem close and impressive...

I really like some of the mixed (broken) waveforms on the 6581. If I remember correct the tri+sqr can be really raspy and expressive with PWM.

Since the initial post in this topic I made a few more comparison tests. Check it out if you are interested to hear how the SID replacement chips sound compared to the original:

4mat: yes, each sid revision has its beauty. for a loong long time i only had the 8580 and once i bought an old breadbin with 6581 every music sounded weird smile even the ones that were composed on 6581.
the 8580 can mix waveforms and it has some other advantages as well.

i would love to hear more opinion about different revisions and their sound, probably everyone has a different opinion and taste smile

Most modern demoscene musicians stick with 8580, though personally I have a soft spot for the rumbly R4 filter.  (the best sid is the one you grew up with I guess)  The 8580 also has slightly different waveform reponses here and there iirc.

yeah, all of those revisions are different and in theory none of the c64's sound the same because of the circuit design and different elements in and around the SID chip smile
i'm going to make another test soon because i'm curious how the R3 would sound in the Breadbin motherboard. will it be noisy as hell or the noise depends on the VIC chip..?
ladies and gentlemen, make your bets smile

Thanks for this.  I've always heard they were different, but this shows how different they really are.

Wow, very cool comparison! Part 2 definitely shows the differences between each chip and that R3 sure is noisy as hell.
