Family Bass: Custom ROM for NES Instrument

US Unique timbre of the Nintendo Famicom      22/01/25

lftkryo is clearly a NES / Famicom fan, having built his own Cartridge to play the Triangle bass generated by the console. Having sourced a keyboard to play back the NES bass, he's made a micro-controller to scan the keys and play the unit like an accordion. Here hs is playing the new instrument alongside, the C=TAR, the Chipophone, and a custom Amiga drum kit program.
