"Synthcart is a cartridge for Atari 2600 game console that turns it into a basic synthesizer with an argeggiator and built-in rhythm patterns. The controls are designed so that it is possible to use without a TV, allowing it to function as a stand-alone synthesizer. Synthcart requires a set of Atari keyboard controllers.
