The Commodore Music Maker Deluxe Part 1 - Music Video
THE COMMODORE 64 SYNTHESIZER I made this keyboard out of a dead Commodore 8-bit computer and a Arturia MiniBrute keybed. This thing is neither a MIDI controller nor a Arduino / Raspberry Pi based design. It uses carbon contacts that act as switches and connect directly on the keyboard matrix inside a Commodore 64. Because of this, it works with ALL programs that use the C64 keys to play notes, allowing you to use a wide variety of original and sometimes rare music programs. In the first part of this 2 video series, a basic song is played to demonstrate the concept. In part 2, I will explain how I built this project.
