The -hard plAYer-
"-hard plAYer- is an 8 bit tunes hardware player, which allows you to listen to the same melodies you could listen to in some of the 80's home computers and videogame consoles. In next versions It will also work as MIDI synthesizer. It's audio sound generator porcessor is the General Instruments AY-3891X the same one that was used in vintage computers like the Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Spectrum ZX, MSX, Oric, or Colour Genie, and consoles like the Intellivision or Vectrex. The YM-2149 was a Yamaha's licensed version of this processor."

"Features of the GR-300:
* 6-voice polyphony
* 2 oscillators per voice
* VCOs are directly harmonically locked to each string, but can be tuned separately
* VCF with variable length sweep up and down
* Low Frequency Oscillator, for Vibrato Effects
* Built-in foot switch controls the VCO mode (single/dual)
* Built-in foot switches control the VCO harmonize pitch (detuning of the VCO's)
* Built-in foot switch controls the VCF mode (on, bypass, or inverted)
* Pedal control input for the VCF
* The GR-300 can output either the guitar, the synth, or a mix of the two
* Synchronized, flashing LED status indicators
* Heavy-Duty Construction with Quality Components
* All-Analog Construction"
