| This might be a nooby question which I am sure of, but are there any vst's or tutorials on how to make 8 bit Commodor64 sounds. Any tutorials for vst's such as vanguard ect? Any help is appreciated. |

You can take a look at quadraSID. It's supposed to emulate the soundchip from the C64 if I'm not wrong. Try out the demo for yourself :).

I was just going to suggest Tweakbench :) Not only is it a great place to get some solid free VSTs, but "Peach," "Toad," and "Triforce" offer great video game sound emulations. |

the hardware synth "Elektron Sidstation" uses the Sid chip from the commodore 64, there are sample cds avalable fo this synth.
it costs around $650 if you want the real deal.
i know the guy that designed the sid chip back in the 80s, he has told me that htere are people in europe who are loyal Sid / sidstation followers, who he told me worship him and nearly stalk him :crazy:
what a quirky little box, you gotta love it |

buy a 64 and program it yourself....they are so cheap
You can also get a cart/prog called 'Little Sound DJ' or LSDJ or the gameboy which does pretty much what you desire.
remember that most of the stuff is very simplistic waves- often just pure square/noise or pulse |

Cassette-tapes? The memories back then, waiting minutes to load a game from tape and if you accidentally touched some keys or the joystick all was screwed and you needed to start all over again :).
READY[] and that nostalgic lightblue screen :toothless.
Anyway, just try out the vsti's mentioned earlier. Maybe they are more than sufficient for what you want to use them for.
