Basically its like the old hardsid, but one chip only ( the play model lets you install two that will switch depending on whichever you want to use at once) and no VST support (disappointingly). Is it cool enough and cheap enough for you?

Really a pity these won’t work as a synth… they’re pretty useless this way to me…
400 bucks for the studio edition is a bit expensive, especially compared to what a MSSIAH setup costs…
