Does the Erika Synths Black System iii count? It's sold as one big alien monster....
Otherwise, the Twisted Electrons MEGAfm.
I have one of these already!
Those look sick. I haven’t delved much into patching but the black system iii looks like a ton of fun. Haven’t seen the MEGAfm. How would you describe it?
Well, the MEGAfm uses two Sega Genesis frequency modulation sound chips so, if you've ever played one of them you've got an idea of some of it's capabilities and sounds. This brings it to a whole new level.
As you might imagine, finding working hardware from the early 90's is not that easy so, these are a fairly rare item. I feel like I need to get a vault just for it. It's definitely not seeing many, if any, live shows. It'll be staying in my studio and be used for recording authentic chiptunes.
I've got an older version with the older, grittier chips. I haven't played it actually as I'm still just getting set up. Tomorrow, or this weekend, I'll have the rest I need. Really, it's just a proper MIDI cable. Lol
The Black Systems iii looks sick. It'll be a few years before I can afford that thing. Lol.
