The Sonik Unified NES Design for Euphonic Rhythm Experiments

All the sound you hear is being generated by the 2A03 chip, better known as the NES CPU. Coupled with its original crystal, all the sounds produced by this device are exactly like what you'd hear coming from an NES console! An Arduino Mega sends the note to be played to the 2A03, which synthesizes it, and sends the sound over to my PC's microphone in jack. Using this, it is possible to play chiptune without lugging an entire NES around! Also, any kind of interface can be attached, from MIDI to PC-based tracker to straight microcontroller.

Big thanks to kevtris and the gang over at the forums at www.nesdev.com! Without them, I'd never have gotten this thing done.

Schematic and source code will be posted on soniktech.com when I finish my writeup.
