Oh man, I'm really hoping I can make it for this, I'm going to be in Tokyo for the Tokyo Game show but I don't know if I can afford to stay long enough to go to both. I hope I can!

Hmmm, thanks guys!
I think the best method would be getting a midi keyboard and arduinoboy at the moment, at least until I get some more money. If I were to use MGB program what is the downfall of using the polyphonic mode?
Oh right, totally forgot the emulation option. Of course, if we're going down that road, you can get old keyboards for cheap on ebay that have some nice chippy sound themsleves.
Any recommendations? I've been looking at getting a Casio PT-80 but I'm worried it will only be able to play one note at a time.
That C64 Keytar is wicked though I imagine it would be ridiculously expensive. I bet it would begreat fun to play around with though.

I love this movie, I just watched it the other day! Then I drew a page of pictures of Oblio.

Hi, I'm Jakten!
I'm fairly new to the site I'm mostly a visual artist but I've made chip tunes before using trackers and such but nothing too considerable. I've been wanting to get into it more but I don't enjoy making music on the computer as much as actually playing it. For that reason I wanted to get a keyboard to play on. So my main question is, Can you modify a small keyboard to have the audio chip of a game console. (is there possibly a tutorial? I have a basic knowledge of electronics.) Secondly, I was wondering, if anyone has done this, if they can recommend a nice keyboard? I just want a small portable thing like an old Casio keyboard or something. Something cheap that could fit into a backpack or messenger bag and would be good for adding things onto it.
Thanks!

I know there was a german band called Welle:Erdball who was around during the nineties. They used the C64 a lot.
I dunno if that is the kind of sound you are thinking of though.
