The Chipophone is a homemade 8-bit synthesizer, especially suited for live chiptune playing. It has been built inside an old electronic organ. www.linusakesso...
Not only did he make this crazy awesome 8-bit synth, but he can play all of these game theme songs from memory. Freaking amazing.

@PTechnicalOriginal
10 жыл бұрын
By definition, if it's 8bit it's digital. Basic pulse/noise waveform's generated by an 8bit processor, 1980's home computer style. These are modulated in various ways to produce effects, but if you notice - no filter. You can produce the same kind of tones with analog, with basic raw open filtered patches. If you're asking mate, shows you're not stupid...
@soylentgreenb
10 жыл бұрын
PTechnicalOriginal By definition, if it's outputing audible noise, there's some amount of analog circuitry involved. The voices, ring modulus and hard sync are digital, and the filter effects are analog (implementing a FIR filter or similar would have been much too expensive).
@PTechnicalOriginal
10 жыл бұрын

He probably didnt want to make any money out of it due to the fact that he said it officially in his site that the origin of this synth was an organ of his friend, and if he sells this synth in the world then im pretty sure his friend has the rights to sue him for copyright infringement since he is the actual owner of the synth that used to be an organ.
