Whatâs great
The cat is finally out of the bag. Gameboy now comes to the fore as a musical instrument thanks to the DIY project that shaped an innovative idea into reality. It is a project that includes a low passing analog filter into the Nintendo DMG-01 Gameboy. According to makers, the filter is compatible with the mono mode and affects every signal from the Gameboy. When tuned to stereo mode, clean signals from the Gameboy pan extreme left and the signal which has been filtered pans right. This mechanism makes it easier for the performer to choose the way he wants the audio elements passing through the filter programmed. The filter gets animated automatically by the signal dynamics through the Envelope follower. This becomes essentially important when characteristics of the filter are being imparted to the basslines.
Whatâs not so great
The Gameboy is about to hit the markets in a new musical instrument avatar. The news itself is so great that it edges out the limitations, if any. The transformed Gameboy promises to keep everybody satisfied. Moreover, an improved audio greets users when they purchase the cool innovation which, as of now, is priced quite affordably.
