The only reason why I'd want to go with hardware sounds is when it comes to expansion audio, and, unless you have something like one of those TNS-HFwhateverthehells, you can only really emulate those chips.
Or you wait for my hardware mod

63GBP is the going rate on our store. Are you adding VAT? You can usually deduce it if you have an account.

Had to do it again. Next part of the C64 SID Shootout is here, this time with a 8580 and a SwinSID Ultimate prototype. Have fun.
Could you record the new SwinSID running my SID benchmark?

If you want something free try:

You know I would add this voice if I didn't have a conscience. VST speek uses the SAM code without authorization
Just emailed SoftVoice again...

it does sound beautifully clean compared to the version you find online that is from the game:

Now being new to Gameboy chip music, is the difference in sound here because of Pogues squeaky clean emulation that should disappear with a bit of impulse modelling, or is there some sneaky modulation tricks on the pulse channels to get that "warble" effect?
Hey thanks!
The comparison is sadly flawed since that youtube video is
1)Compressed with youtube compression (particularly bad for sharp edges like pulses)
2)From an emulator which aliases quite a bit!
It is somehow widespread to think of emulators as perfect mediums and any chip plugin as "fake", but in reality its quite the opposite.
Emulator authors often focus on video quality (see all interpolations options in name-your-emu) more than accurate audio.
But It's unfair to assume every emulator programmer has an ear for such things as aliasing pulse waves..
I do not remember what is the best GB emu for sound these days (Mednafen?), I just know many are plain wrong.
