"The Atmegatron is a revolutionary new synthesizer that takes classic 80s Chiptune sounds and adds powerful new features.

Musicians will love it because it is quick and easy to create and manipulate amazing sounds. The Atmegatron can do everything from bright square wave leads, to dirty basses, to wild sci-fi effects.

Programmers will love it because it is built on the Arduino platform and the software is open source. This allows programmers to change or add new features and upload them to the Atmegatron.

You don't need to be a programming genius to use the Atmegatron PCB. Even people with basic programming knowledge will find it straight forward to tweak the software and upload it to the synth. The software is written using the Arduino environment, which can be downloaded for free from the Arduino website and is incredibly quick and easy to use. If you have ever fancied digging a bit deeper with digital synthesis but have been too nervous, the Atmegatron is what you've been waiting for!
