HyperSID HW unit is a hardware synthesizer based on C64 SID Chip! There is no emulation here, All the sounds are generated by a real SID chip. HyperSID unlocks all C64 SID chip functions and provides several modulation sources and paths. HW unit does not have a user interface and preset memory, you need a software editor to access and control it.

Software Editor:
HyperSID-Editor is a software editor for remote controlling the HyperSID HW unit. Real-time integration between software and hardware makes HyperSID act like a standard VST instrument in your host application. For easy access, The software editor layout is designed in a way to cover all the sound engine parameters in one window. (Version History)
Main Features: - Full control of the sound engine (98 parameters)
- Support automation for all parameters
- Option to select programs and banks remotely
- Sync to host option for master tempo
- Factory Soundbank containing 102 presets
- Pitch wheel with adjustable range
- Flexible preset manager with save and load function
- FPB control module
