AEA

So since June I have been interning at Audio Engineering Associate, and it has been rather amazing I can't wait to share about what I have been doing 

Adding a MIDI input to a Game Boy

Via Hack A Day

Sprite_tm] is back again, and his work never fails to impress. His latest project is aGame Boy Advance MIDI synth that takes MIDI data from a keyboard or sequencer and maps that to Game Boy sound channels.

Because he seems to never do anything the normal way, [Sprite_tm] decided to run the Game Boy without a cartridge. We’ve seen this before; the GBA boots into the synth software over the link cable with multibooting.

[Sprite_tm] designed a circuit around an ATMega168 to boot the Game Boy, receive MIDI messages, then translate and send them through the link port. The main Game Boy code also has a simple interface to display graphics on the screen and a sequencer that allows him to record MIDI messages into 8 different tracks. We’re thinking that being able to sequence Game Boy chiptunes with a keyboard is a huge improvement over Little Sound DJ.

As [Sprite_tm] freely admits he’s not the best keyboard player, he gave his GBA synth to a musician friend. The resulting song is a veritable deluge of 8 bit chiptunes. The electronics behind this build are very simple (and can fit inside a MIDI cable), so we’re ready to break out the iron for this one. All the relevant code is posted [Sprite_tm]‘s build page. There’s also a video walking through the features of his creation, viewable below.

Random update

So I just felt like checking in sold a fuzz factory yesterday and I am still working on setting up my recording rig, have a great summer internship at AEA and getting to learn about ribbon mics first hand.

What I have been working on

So its been rather slow around here been rather busy with school and other projects.  More stuff from Matt Kollar and the Angry Mob to come, its going to be great.  Here is a video that I helped shoot, record audio, and build swords.
