Introduction 

 

About the HyperSID 

 

From  the  invention  of  SID  chip  in  1982  many  people  tried  to  prove  that  the  ability  of  this 
single chip synthesizer is more than a sound interface for 80’s game console (C64). 
These efforts resulted in creation of several new SID based products like: Standalone SID file 
players,  Software  Emulators,  DIY  SID  synth  Projects,  Commercial  SID  Synths  and  etc.  Our 
goal is to do something rather different from what has been done by others. 
 
HyperSID  is  a  synthesizer  with  various  Controlling  features  of  the  VSTi  and  the  real  analog 
SID sound. Real time integration between software and hardware makes HyperSID act like 
the other VST instruments in your host application. Because the sound is fully generated by 
the  hardware  unit  so  the  VSTi  plugin  has  a  very  low  CPU  usage  than  the  other  VST 
instruments. Besides you can’t compare a real SID filter with the simulated ones. 
 
In  order  to  make  noise  out  of  HyperSID  you  must  have  at  least  one  hardware  unit  .If  you 
want  any  information  about  obtaining  the  fully  functional  hardware  please  contact  our 
support team. 
 
We  tried  to  keep  HyperSID  as  bug-free  as  possible  and  made  it  stable  enough  to  be 
published. Further developments will be done based upon users’ feedbacks.  
 
 
 

Donationware Notice  
 

 
HyperSID VSTi is donationware. A reasonably satisfied user is suggested to compensate the 
programmer if real value or use is achieved from the program. The compensation amount is 
left up to the discretion of the user. This amount is based on a value the user estimates they 
derived from the program. 
 
 
So if you find this product useful please consider donating to support future developments.
