Quick Start 

Architecture  

HyperSID  is  a  subtractive  synthesizer  that  has  an  ability  to  use  all  the  SID  chip  hardware 
features in addition to many new software based features. It acts like a control panel for the 
Hardware unit so it doesn’t generate  any sound. HyperSID is fully compatible with  VST 2.0 
hosts and tested via Nuendo, Fl Studio, Logic audio and etc.   

Fig1 shows the architecture of HyperSID including both hardware and software modules. 
Audio signals are represented by black lines and Modulation paths are represented by red 
lines. Except the green boxes (Env1,Env2,LFO,Step LFO) which are software implemented 
modules other modules are totally built in SID chip features .The  Audio Signal routings are 
hard-wired So you can’t change the audio signal path unlike the way has shown in the 
picture . 

Modulation paths are software implemented in this case you can have versatile choices.  For 
routing different sources to destination,   you can also have multiple destinations for every 
source and multiple sources for every destination.
