March 9, 200620 yr I'm not sure about the rest of you, but as a kid, I've always enjoyed the music on the NES games. I've always wanted to mess around with a synthesizer that could use the NES sounds, and I stumbled across one here.. The "2A03 Synthesizer" as it was known... http://manfreda.org/LordFrito/2A03/ For those of you familiar with the 8-bit music scene, the 2A03 was the integrated circuit at the heart of the old Nintendo Entertainment System. The 2A03 was a custom IC containing, among other things, a 6502 processor and audio generator circuits. These circuits are what gave the NES it's unique sound You *could* use your pc keyboard to play it, but if you have a midi keyboard that you can hook up to your pc (still trying to find what I need to hook mine up... is it a midi cable of some sort? I'm not too pc savvy... :mrgreen:) then you can probably play it more easily IMO. Knock yourselves out.
March 9, 200620 yr Oh man, sweet! I don't care if someone comes on the thread and says it's old, I've never seen this before and it's freakin' great! This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
March 9, 200620 yr easy peasy m8 most pre-playstation1 games use simple synthesis for their music and the majority of nes music is based on saw and square waves. any crap synth can emulate it ;)
