The DIY Synths Scene
Show transcript [en]
the early synthesizers were almost DIY in nature like people soldered it together in their garages or in their like apartments and stuff like that but uh DIY couldn't keep up in the 80s 90s so when Arduino became a thing and Web 2.0 became a thing the DIY Electronics scene got kind of revived like people wanted to get back the sound of the old uh video consoles that they used so they started taking out the psgs and the FM chips from old consoles like here's one example the electron seat station so what they do did here is that they got the Sid chips from Commodore 64s and they put it into a shiny box and they
sold it now this is really expensive because you can't really get uh chips anymore but there are alternatives based on fpgas and just software emulations in general
