LOVING IT! I'm thinking of using this for a live performance with my GBSP for sure!!!
Dual LSDJ + Chord is pretty much my favorite setup for live atm.

Hey all! I sold my extra cartridge a couple years ago, but u really want to play with this! Don't want to spend the full 40 bucks on an ems64 cart.. can anyone advise if this rom runs on the cheaper prom carts on kitch-bent?

Good questing, I have not tried that. From what I understand though eprom is erasable read only memory, which should mean that the save function in chord will not work. Other benefits with a usb one, is that it is simpler to update if I add features or fix one of my mistakes. But if chord is worth $40 dollars is debatable, Maybe try it in an emulator first to get a feel for it and see if you like it.
And cheers @John Riselvato for the kind words.

I love my spelling in that last post. My head is not with me on this dark friday afternoon.

The rom itself is 32 kb. Then chord saves straight into ram, not using that much memory I think, it's addressing less than mbc1 range. I know that much. This needs some investigation.

I love chord so far, but am unsure of the real benefit to saving. Maybe someone can give me a real life example of using the save feature assisting in use in their work flow?

Awesome, I like where this is going. Also, if needed it might be possible to do some software tweaks. I bought my ems cart from kitsch bent btw, excellent shop.
@bitDad I guess saving is not essential. It might be nice to save different chord progressions though for different songs if you need to access them quickly and don't have the time to edit them in again.

That's fair. So far it seems like I can build the sounds I like pretty rapidly, but then there's always room to complexify. Thanks for the info!

Just to give an update on the sync development. I have uploaded a new build and put some instructions and teensy software on the website, same link as before http://www.humbletune.com/chord/. The big question is, will it work with arduino boy and other types of syncing. I think it possibly will but I have not tested it.

Yes just adding optional external sync this time and a moustache for Movember. If you click the little plus above the download button you get a list of the changes, another one of my brilliant website design features.
I will look into triggering notes too at some point soon. And cheers for the help @Domu.
Thanks
