All good things come to those who wait wink One thing I've learned messing around with homebrew projects is: 'How to que up"
The NESK-1 is pretty cool, but I would have to build some sort of Control Surface out of the 4 game pads; don't think I could handle all those controllers (but guess thats part of it's charm).
Neil Baldwin has some changes coming, sync input to his software,
http://blog.ntrq.net/?p=589 . So that will be very cool; PR8 or Pulsar on a PowerPak synced to the rest of a Midi sequence. Looking forward to THAT!

Thanks yogi, I bet I could use some effect pedals to get arps and echoes and bends, actually.
I'll be patient. It seems I'd have to wait for a copy of NESK-1 as well anyways, ahaha

Is there an NES equivalent to the Atari Synthcart I should get?

NESK-1 is a synthcart for the NES.

Thanks guys!
Has anyone tried Chip Maestro with a microKORG XL? I think it's the only thing I have that can serve as a MIDI controller. It just looks a lot more fun than using a tracker, ahaha.

Chip Maestro looks very cool, but it's just now getting into backer's hands. Still a bit of a wait for general sales.As to your KORG, well should work. Simple midi implementation, NoteOn NoteOff and some CC  I think.
Hopeful, more features will be added over time. Would like to see more automation in the waveform handling, Arp and echo type things handled by the AVR. Thats where a tracker shines!

Graphical mods of any hardware is really trivial in that it's fucking useless.

Get a Powerpak and/or MIDINES and/or Chip Maestro and get to actual compose music for or with the NES.

Powerpak: http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?products_id=34

MIDINES: http://www.wayfar.net/0xf00000_overview.php

Chip Maestro: http://www.soniktech.com/chipmaestro/index.php

Look into software like NTRQ, Pulse8 and whatever else Neil has been dishing out for the NES. Put that on your Powerpak and get tracking or get into Famitracker and make some NSFs and load 'em on.

Midines

A great "mod" is to refurbish the edge connector.
Maybe a second audio out jack
