When reSID gets Juicey,
you end up with….
An old-school Commodore 64 synth in your DAW with direct SID register access.
You’ll feel like you’re programming the sound chip directly.
Built on top of reSID – the SID emulation champ for decades.
Cross Platform for both the VST and Standalone versions
Seamless integration with your favorite Digital Audio Workstation
| Tracktion Waveform | Bitwig Studio | Ableton Live |
| LMMS | FL Studio | Mixcraft |
| PreSonus Studio One | Cockos Reaper | Steinberg Cubase |
Features
Control every SID parameter, precisely.
With over 20 years of development, reSID is the go-to SID emulation engine. Tried, tested & proven, reSID drives reSIDue’s faithful reproduction of your favourite chippy sound.
Wavetables Everywhere
Every parameter of the SID 6581/8580 has its own unique wavetable. Every step, every cycle, you’re in control.
Direct Register Access
There’s no oscillators or envelope generators outside of the SID’s tone generators. What you program into the wavetables is what the SID chip does.
Do it your way.
Highly Programmable
With loops, jumps and conditional logic baked into the wavetables, you’ll be making sounds fast instead of endless numberwanging.
Seamless Integration
reSIDue is complaint to VST3 standards and care has been put into ensuring that your favourite DAW will be able to host the plugin.
Built on reSID
With over 20 years of development, reSID is the go-to SID emulation engine. Tried, tested & proven, reSID drives reSIDue’s faithful reproduction of your favourite chippy sound.
Rendered with Juce
The User Interface, MIDI and Audio routing use the pervasive Juce framework for top notch control.
What’s Coming Next
We’ve got a plan for features and how reSIDue will be both commercial and free open source.
The reSIDue v1 bun is in the oven
I’m aiming to have reSIDue ready by the end of 2025. It’s up and running on my computer but there’s still a lot to do. There’s still functionality I want to add and testing to be done.
Open sourcing reSIDue
I’ve been using open-source operating systems, tools and applications for over 25 years now and reSIDue is built on open-source frameworks so I definitely want to give code back.
AI Automation
Programmed by a madman
I used to be a demoscene musician and coder and I haven’t stopped being involved with vintage electronics & sound to this day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Is reSIDue a VST?
Yes it is a VST. reSIDue doesn’t rely on any other framework let alone proprietary ones such as Kontact. reSIDue is a <40MB VST3. Since we only rely on the open source reSID & Juce frameworks, reSIDue is nicely cross platform.
Is there a standalone version?
Yup. That’s a great thing about the frameworks we use, not only is the VST available on all platforms, we can build a standalone version.
How closely does reSIDue replicate the sound of the Commodore 64’s SID chip?
reSIDue is very accurate. The developers of reSID have poured years of research & development into the characteristics of both models (and all revisions) of the SID chip. They’ve gone to the lowest levels of analysis such as oscilloscope and chip pin-out monitoring. reSID is bang-on accurate.
Is there a plan?..A roadmap?
Kinda, but it depends on you. I’ve got ideas for future versions. Patch management beyond the basics would be nice. We’ll decide together what goes into future versions of reSIDue.
Is reSIDue open-source?
Not yet at least. The intention at this stage is to make the previous major versions open-source but since there’s not even a first major version yet, I guess you’ll have to wait. 🙂 Look, I get it, reSIDue is built os open-source tools and I am a 25+ year Linux user, so take it from me, I want to have reSIDue’s source code available as soon as I can.
