Impact Soundworks inSIDious is a cutting-edge virtual synthesizer plugin that faithfully recreates the iconic SID chip sound from the legendary Commodore 64. Developed by veteran video game musician Mike Clarke, inSIDious captures the raw, experimental tones that defined 1980s video game music, delivering a unique sonic character for modern producers and composers.

This plugin offers two authentic versions of the SID chip: the classic 6581 and the more consistent 8580, allowing users to select their preferred tonal palette. It features three independent digital oscillators capable of producing pulse, sawtooth, triangle, and noise waveforms, which can be combined, synchronized, and modulated to craft a wide range of sounds, from chiptune melodies to rich basslines and complex effects.

inSIDious includes a versatile multimode filter with low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass modes, enhanced by six selectable 6581 filter curves, LFO, envelope, and key tracking for deep sound shaping. The plugin also boasts a step sequencer for classic arpeggios, multiple modulation options like pitch LFO, PWM LFO, and amplitude envelope, and an adjustable internal clock to tailor modulation timing.

With 350 carefully crafted snapshots contributed by some of the greatest C64 composers and sound designers such as Chris Huelsbeck, Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway, and more, users have access to a rich library of presets spanning basses, leads, drones, percussion, loops, and special effects.

Compact at only 35MB, inSIDious runs on Reaktor 6 or the free Reaktor 6 Player and supports VST, AU, and AAX formats, ensuring compatibility with most major DAWs. Whether you're recreating nostalgic vintage game sounds or exploring new sonic realms, inSIDious offers an authentic and powerful tool to inspire creativity.
