HardSID Uno and Hardsid Play Appeared
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?
- Ideal for SID Players, C64 Emulators, SID Trackers
- USB connection (compatible with both 2.0 & 1.1)
- No power supply required! Use it with a notebook just anywhere!
- Supported by the HardSID 4U Winamp Plugin! (seeking, sub-tune handling, IR remote controlling)
- Superior sound quality (..it is a HardSID!)
- Support for one SID chip of any version (old: 6581, new: 8580/6582)
- Updateable firmware over USB
- Drivers for Windows XP/Vista/Win7
- Cycle-accurate playback of your favorite SID tunes
- Digitized sound + high-speed playback with low CPU utilization
- Seamless playback of .sid tunes while you work on your PC

On the FMA: Balún
In all the hubbub of the TCTD awards, I sadly overlooked the new album preview from Balún, out today as a pay what you’d like download on their Bandcamp page.
To celebrate this awesome release, I’ve also uploaded their older “While Sleeping” ep to the FMA. Enjoy both!
