hey everybody!

this one has taken forever to get release ready, but its finally done.

http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/quint

quint is a *duino-based device meant for the precise control of the game boy original, pocket, and color console's 'clock speed.'  in musical terms, changing the clock speed of a device is an alternative means to alter the pitch/tempo of the device, sometimes outside if its normal operating means.  for gamers, changing the clock speed means slowing down the game during the insanely difficult parts, or speeding the game up to get through mindless RPG banter. 

i'll have a video posted of the device in action as soon as i can round up the camera, sd card, and everything else i can't seem to find today to make that happen!

these are very very limited.  i'll redo the design eventually, this particular layout and arrangement i doubt will happen again due to a very unfortunate hard drive crash.  it all depends on the recovery process for that.  there are only 25 in the entire batch, the first ones of those are available now, then I'll have some with me at BRKfest, then whatever is left will go online.  if you like this design, i'd suggest not waiting.  i really doubt i'll be able to get those files back.

till next time (and as always), keep chipping!

You know what we need now? ASM Retro PCB mount prosound v3, with a third jack in another color for clock control...

(have something along those same lines in the pipes.  ein moment, bitte!)

with a nice proper amp.  circuit works now my gain is just all wrong.  clock jack is a cinch.

mmmmmmmmm

yeah.  combining quint with arduinoboy would be the next logical step........ 

max4live connectivity is the next big goal.  argh.  time to think on this.  thats a good idea.

It would be probaly best to do a separate but equal, not sure youd want to do the same code on one chip. Im thinking of something like a db9 breakout on the dmg and have a breakout with audio out, aboy with panel mounted midi jacks and quint?

Would the db9 be able to pass all those connections and the link cable stuff? Wooof....

Maybe something like this?

NickTitle and I had done a project like this a while back, it used an edge connector so you could swap in and out different boards for different purposes.  i'll dig those files up and revive it.  not as expansive as that but still a breakout situation deal.

Soooooo, could I drone a single note and play awesome pentatonics on those 5 buttons with pitchy bends on the fine tuner? Because that would not only be awesome, fans would TOTALLY geek out about that in a live setting.

@zef -- the way the device ships (its current code), this is exactly what it can do!
