This is the Dirtywave M8. It looks like a great piece of kit to play around with. I’ve stuck this up on Interesting in Sleevenotes so I remember about it further down the line when it can be bought in the UK and so that other interested people can see it too.
Anything that’s a synth + sampler + sequencer has my interest. Good work!
Portable tracker sequencer and synthesizer M8 is powered by the Teensy micro-controller and inspired with love from the renowned Gameboy tracker Little Sound DJ. Featuring 8 tracks of freely assignable instruments capable of a wide range of sounds including waveform synthesis, FM, virtual analog, sample playback, and MIDI output.
