Opulent Audio have released bLO-FIsh which they describe as a versatile 3 Oscillator LO-FI synthesizer. They tell us that it is not an emulation of any particular "chip", but is much more powerful than that.
A spokesperson described it thus… “bLO-FIsh incorporates classic chip type (8 bit) sounds with more traditional synth elements to bring on a huge sonic range. Flexible, extensive modulation plus a 16-step gate for more musical and rhythmic options. Plus, bLO-FIsh has a distortion effect and a CPU-friendly reverb to garnish your 8 bit feast.�
Here’s more details from the website… Generators:
3 Wave Oscillators with Sine, Saw, Ramp, Triangle, Square and two different widths of Pulse waves.
Audio quality is switchable between standard, 16 bit/44 khz operation and 8 bit/22 khz LO-FI mode.

Output routing options to either filter, both filters, or no filter (straight to effects section).
