The Chipophone is a homemade 8-bit synthesizer, especially suited for live
chiptune playing. It has been built inside an old electronic organ.

All the original tone-generating parts have been disconnected, and the keys,
pedals, knobs and switches rerouted to a microcontroller which transforms
them into MIDI signals. Those are then parsed by a second microcontroller,
which acts as a synthesizer.

It is sorta interesting that he started by converting the organ to midi and
then adding sound on the backend.
