We decided to build a fully featured Juce VST3 version of the MAME-emulated Ensoniq SD-1/32, which has never been emulated before.

What's working? Everything! Yes, the internal sequencer too (if you have the disk image).
Features:

• Windows 10+ 64 bit VST3, Mac Intel+ARM Universal Binary VST3
  
  
• VST3 state saving, MIDI input and automation, 4 different panel layouts, resizable GUI with VFD display, and an onboard keyboard, buffer setting
  
  
• Can load all compatible VFX/VFX-SD/SD1-24/SD1-32 disk images and cartridges
  

Requirements:
IMPORTANT - ROM Files Required!

Built with love by MAMEDev and contributors and sojusrecords.com

Hurrah !!!

 

Thank You @itsybitsy_!

The ROM can be free download here:

That's an incomplete rom set. Better get this:

and don't forget this too: bios/device esq2x40_vfx
The final sd132.zip in your EnsoniqSD1 folder must looks like this:


Here you can get the Ensoniq SD-1 800K Omniflop & EDV v4.10 Sequencer Operating System Bundle.

Beyond sexual chocolate. I am running and starting every time consistently. Probably my hacked DAW, but I experienced a few DAW shutdowns in the beginning, then that phenomenon went away. It boots, runs, and makes sound every time now.

(asking for sound bank location hints without actually asking)

'Bleachbass' kicks my ass. wow.

Does it looks for a system font on "Full Keyboard" UI selection? I am reproducing the font issue I had yesterday on Vertigo. Wonder if i deleted a font. "Compact" and "Rack" UI's are perfect.

 

do you people think we will HAVE every single synth emulated soon enough?
