Seven Nintendo era sound chips, running side by side, wrapped in a modern synthesizer with LFO modulation and an FX rack. Nothing in famixplode is a sample or an impression of a chip sound. Each of the chips is rebuilt as the original circuit, so it buzzes, aliases, and folds exactly the way the hardware did. Watch it work The seven chips 2A03, the stock NES chip: two pulses, a stepped triangle, noise and a 1 bit DPCM sample player. VRC6, Konami's expansion: two pulses with eight duty settings and a sawtooth. VRC7, two operator FM from 15 ROM instruments or a custom patch. Sunsoft 5B, the AY-3-8910 family voice heard in Gimmick! FDS, wavetable with a hardware pitch modulator. MMC5, two more pulses and a raw PCM channel. N163, Namco's wavetable chip, up to eight channels sharing one wave memory. What is around them 19 sound producing channels. Two independent filter stages with 107 types each. Three FX chains of 16 module slots. Four drawable LFOs, four step sequencers, four macros, a MOD SLIDER, and a 32 route modulation matrix that reaches almost every knob on screen. Per voice modulation, so a chord does not lurch when you add a note to it.
