It's nice to see education geared towards something useful. And that sounds like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm really not. Love the sound you chose by the way. nice and warm.

Could you please explain how you interface the Launchpad with the Sega Mega Drive and its sound chip?
Chiptune Powah!

@richicc Hi there! Well, the launchpad is connected to a computer. The software on the computer is Max/MSP. The MIDI output from Max/MSP is then going to a MIDI interface that is connected to the SEGA Mega Drive.

@littlescale Thanks for your answer! The part that is still obscure to me is... how do you hook up a MIDI interface to the console? Does it have a MIDI jack? Is it a special cartridge you bought or a DIY hack? Thanks again!
Have fun ;)

@richicc I built and programmed a hardware MIDI interface for the SEGA. I've also made the same for SEGA Master System, Game Gear, Atari 2600, Vectrex, C64 and a few sound chips as well.

@littlescale You rock, man. Seriously. Have you released your DIY hacks specifications as open hardware? It'd be pretty awesome, and loads of people will love you forever (me, for example :P)
=] Thanks for sharing and keep it up!

@richicc This technology was part of a PhD i finished at the start of the year. I graduate in September, after which I will release it.
