Linus Åkesson: The Chipophone
The Chipophone is a homemade 8-bit synthesizer, especially suited for live chiptune playing. It has been built inside an old electronic organ.
All the original tone-generating parts have been disconnected, and the keys, pedals, knobs and switches rerouted to a microcontroller which transforms them into MIDI signals.
Those are then parsed by a second microcontroller, which acts as a synthesizer.
Here some video examples:
- The Chipophone (Presentation video).
- Carol of the Bells.

- Legend of Zelda.
