You can find demos of one here.

"A true arcade-style keyboard and mono-synth, emulating the chip-tune sounds of old. It does all the old arpeggiator effects and classic Nintendo/Sega sounds you’ll recognise, and even has a small built-in speaker.

Playing on the arcade game switches is a truly unique experience, great fun, and then you have that great big red joystick for pitch-bend and octave selection. Very clicky-clacky but a unique experience. There’s even a guitar strap mount which I’ve never tried :)

It’s in great condition, no scratched I’m aware of, solid metal enclosure and switches that are probably guaranteed for heavy gaming abuse.

Has MIDI In/Out/Thru so you can use it to drive other gear too.

Plain fun - this is not a serious bit of kit - but will definitely spice up your studio and everybody will want to play it!"
