SID oscillator/envelope leakage in emulation?

Try this on a real machine:

poke54296,15:poke54277,12:poke54278,12:poke54273,15:poke54276,33:poke54276,33

After the sound has decayed you can still hear the note pitch, although very faintly. It's louder than static though. I've observed this at least on the old SID.

poke54273,0 or poke54296,0 mutes it

Has anyone measured this leakage, does it also happen on 8580, and is it emulated in any SID emulator?

And does it happen on ALL 6581? Is it dependent on temperature?

It leaks on 8580 as well. Cutting sound with testbit/zero wave only (but without triggering release) is the main way to reproduce. I'm not sure if it's temperature dependend but behaviour occurs also right away after launching C64.

"Measured" as in tested what is the hardware cause behind it, or "measured" as in tested the behavior of the sound?

For the latter:

I bet the former in the long run ;)

I'll point Leandro at this thread (no idea if he has csdb account)

Hypersynth SIDizer VST plugin does emulate osc leakage. Yeah, it's not an "emulation" emulation, but it does a pretty good job of SID sound emulation if you want to produce music with VST's.

Valid points there but I wouldn't underestimate the issue. Background noises are really minimal in amplitude, compared to this phenomenon. However, I'm recording SidFX output via interface with really decent parameters so that might also contribute.

I will give this a try on a real C64 with three different 6581 and two different 8580. I could do the same tests on a C128, but only with 6581.

Unfortunately, the speakers in my available monitors add a very loud hum when the volume is cranked up, so I'm not sure how meaningful these tests can really be.

BTW, I'm reFX-Mike on GitHub.

ChipSynth64 also has oscillator leakage emulation.
From the manual:

Osc Leak: Turn on emulation of signal going through even when envelope is fully closed.
