Building A Custom Commodore 64-based Synthesizer #MusicMonday

Gavin Lyons shared this overview of how to build a custom Commodore 64-based synthesizer. All the music was made on his Commodore 64 synthesiser. Lyons is using mods with Cythncart and MIDI. Here’s more from Gavin Lyons:

The Commodore 64 was an iconic home computer that was first introduced in 1982. While the Cyanotype process invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel remains to this day a classic alternative photography process. I tackle both feats in this mash up crazy fun video. All the music was made with the Commodore 64 Synthesiser using Cythncart, Midi card and some major mods to make the whole thing portable! You’ll learn how to build C64 synth and make a Cyanotype print with a UV box. Two increbile inventions and two fun projects to do!
