If you have an older version of the Cynthcart, here is a list of improvements since version 1.1:

Added PAL note table for PAL consoles
Autodetection for PAL/NTSC
Full-screen video mode
Auto-paddle-on for filter paddle
Added support for second paddle (pitch, LFO depth, pulse width)
Rearranged keyboard layout per user requests
Added help screen (press RETURN)
Added help for SID edit mode
Added dummy SID register to edit 3 oscillators at once
Fixed accidental patch changes due to C64 keyboard hardware
Fixed odd notes in top octave
Filter tweak for SID Symphony



Configuration Options:

The Cynthcart is available in TWO different configurations:

Board with the EPROM installed in a socket
Board with the EPROM soldered directly to the board (no socket)
Without a socket, you can put your Cynthcart into a standard Commodore 64 cartridge shell (the ones made by Commodore). With a socket installed on the Cynthcart, the board will NOT fit in a standard Commodore 64 cartridge without first cutting a hole in the top of the cartridge shell. If you opt for a board with a socket, your Cynthcart can easily be upgraded when new versions of the Cynthcart software are available. Please be sure to select above which configuration you wish to purchase.

The Cynthcart also includes a manual written by Paul Slocum. Be sure to check out Paul's Synthcart for the Atari 2600 while you're here!

  • Bit of a stupid question, but where can I get this for an emulator?

  • Just try to google it, cuz I don't know.

  • Okay

  • I had some delay issues with it. It took one second to hear the note I was playing. I like the sound, but it's not very useable due the delay.

  • that was a very pure sound.

  • What am I looking at here? Is your synth connected to a TV monitor that displays your analogue waveforms?

  • I have a Sound expander in its original box! :D and a sampler but i have no C64..

    Anyone willing to swap a fully working Atari 520 ST a C64? - I use ebay and can put it in a private auction for 1p Pick Up Only to reduce costs.. i come from UK Hertfordshire, Tring. -Message me if your interested. UK ONLY (private seller) (username: kragle88)

  • @aseglkj Because it's a picture with an effect over it? >_>

  • why the fuck is there a film effect on something recorded from a tv?

  • wha? this is just an average square lead...

  • @gjc82071 Sorry for not replying sooner. No, I am not, thank you for asking.

  • @THE7thHAND there is no delay on a real c64 ;)

  • @OBobson Still looking for the C64 synth & or music programs?

  • Anybody interested in some new Commodore samples?
