MB control for YM2149 synth build

Hi everybody,

Just finished building my controller for a YM2149 synth, and thought I’d share it with you

Also cased in an old Sinclair ZX Spectrum + 128 case ( calm down - again just an empty case)

Reused the buttons and modified them with LED’s to make them look like Roland/ Sequential Circuits buttons from 80’s synth’s and drum machines

The control panel is laser cut &engraved in a black&white acrylic.

It is very similar to lemonhorse’s MB AY (YM), but uses an Atmega328 module from Wil Lindsay at straytechnologies.com I got a while back http://www.straytech…m_mini-modding/

The control is done by the Core, DIN and DOUT modules from Smash TV

I have a problem with the LED’s so if any of you can help me with some Assembler code I would be very greatful

Have a great weekend everybody, and thanks for the inspiration from all your projects :slight_smile:
