Can you not get enough of chip-tune music? Instead of rolling down the street in your Sebring, blasting the latest Kanye West, do you rock out to the themes to Metroid and Mega Man? Do your dreams contain characters like Princess Peach and that dog from duck hunt? Does it irritate you that video games don't come on floppy disks anymore?

For those of you that do, in fact, love the sound of the NES or Gameboy chip, de la Mancha offers a new free plugin that duplicates those beloved 8-bit tones.

De la Mancha has released miniSID, a quick and simple SID synth for getting that chip-tune sound with the minimum of tweaking. The waveforms are sampled from a 6581 SID chip and the arp gives that retro gamer effect.

MiniSID Features:

• * Square, Saw and Triangle waves sampled from a 6581 SID chip.
• * Square, Saw and Triangle waves sampled from a 6581 SID chip.
• * 2 oscs with 3 levels of oscillator sync.
• * Arp with 3 modes and 4 speeds.
• * Arp has up to 4 octaves range.
• * Arp has 4 note length options.
• * All controls have MIDI CC's assigned.

While hardware may have a certain nostalgia associated with it, this de la Mancha plugin is completely free, making it so that everyone can have the opportunity to re-score their NES favorites.
