With the intent of emulating a 2A03 Nintendo Entertainment System chip, and comparing itself to the sounds produced by FamiTracker, NES VST remains faithful to the original NES sound. You do still, however, have access to the ADSR envelopes, so your notes can fade in/out with ease. With that being said, you don't get the same configurability as other VSTs in this list as the sounds aren't generated on the fly in the same way. It's actually made of samples to emulate various sounds the NES can produce, so you can get pretty creative with what's provided here. This plugin is very different to the others demonstrated here.
It does also support 4 voice polyphony, however does not have support for note velocity - this means every note played by Retro Boy is at the same volume unless you manipulate the volume externally. In addition to this is also has a nice "decimation" effect that can modify the sound produced to get some different sounding instruments, and built-in vibrato. Similar to magical8bitplug, Retro Boy features various waveforms similar to those found on most 8-bit sound chips, as well as ADSR envelopes. On the other hand, automating any of the knobs/sliders provided is so much easier in Magical8BitPlug as they use the DAW's native interface controls compared to all the other VSTs in this article. I've found that in FL Studio the pitch bending feature doesn't work too well with slide notes (a faster method than the typical pitch bending automation), however the sound this plugin produces does accurately represent what you'd expect from old 8-bit machines. It's a great choice for beginners as you can leave everything but the waveform in its default state and still create a masterpiece! Magical8BitPlug3 is chock-full of features, including 5 different waveform types, note velocity, variables for the attack, decay, sustain, and release (ADSR) envelopes, and pitch bending. Keep in mind that my opinions on these VSTs are based upon using them in FL Studio, where the feature accessibility may be different than a DAW you may be using.
This article will list some of the best VSTs I've personally used at some point in the past, what makes them worth using, and some comparisons between them.

So you're looking to create chiptune music, you have your DAW up and running, plugged in your MIDI keyboard, but you don't know how to create the classic sounds you're looking for.
