Resident Tracktion programmer Roland Rabien explores the classic landscape of game console synthesis. Creating emulations of some of the most iconic chips including the Ricoh A203 (Nintendo), PAPU (Gameboy), MOS Technology SID (Commodore 64, 128 & MAX) and TI SN76489 (Sega, BBC etc). Remarkably simple and fun, these sounds defined a generation of game play – we hope you enjoy.
