In this video I check out the SOCAL Labs 8-bit Treat VST plug-ins released by Tracktion developers. These plug-ins are available in 32 and 64 bit and as AU, VST, and Linux VST.

I play demos on some famous video game MIDI files and then examine each plugin in depth.

Quite quirky but definitely some good stuff here, esp. for chip junkies smile

Check out the plug-ins here:

Seems good for free plug ins. I'm most interested in the Papu. That one sounds really good.

I just updated SID, PAPU & RP2A03. I fixed a few complains people had, the parameters now update while the key is down. I added pitch bend to PAPU. Fixed low notes not playing correctly on RP2A03.
