WAV

A two channel WAV-file sample player based on a WAV Trigger from Robertsonics. Custom circuit and code. Arduino. The keypad and 7-segment LED-display are reused from a broken Prinztronic Micro calculator from 1973. The design is inspired by this calculator. My moniker and logo is also inspired by this :)

Nintendo DMG-01

With a cartridge flashed with mGB and an Arduinoboy by trash80, this extensively modified Game Boy turns into a four channel synthesizer.

MFB-522 Drumcomputer

Behind the custom designed and manufactured front panel, is a modified MFB-522 Drumcomputer. An all analog drum machine, similar to the Roland TR-808, only tiny compared to the original. I gave it a 808 inspired design and colors, and the tempo goes to 11

MIDIbox SammichFM

Modified SammichFM with custom front panel. A four channel FM-synth, based on the Yamaha YMF262 (OPL3) chip.

MIDIbox SammichSID

Yes, it does sound different ;)
