Glitch Boy
A compact device that turns a retro console into a video synthesizer and chiptune instrument.
- Built by intentionally breaking a NES emulator, it's a tool for video artists and creatives, perfect for creating authentic 8-bit glitch aesthetics for visuals, music videos, and video art.
- Load your games from microSD onto the Glitch Boy, then glitch them in real time with onboard controls, or sync the corruptions to music using the audio input or MIDI to create unique visuals.
- The Glitch Boy is not only a video synth, but also an 8-bit audio synthesizer: you can play console's sound chip via MIDI, turning it into an authentic chiptune instrument.
