DIY NES Synth Showpiece

Love Hultén released a video showcasing the NES‑SY2.0 as a direct follow‑up to his 2022 NES‑SY37 project; mainstream coverage of the upload appeared March 29–30, 2026. (timeextension.com: matrixsynth.com: ) The core sound engine in the build is an Arcano System NES Poly chiptune module, which Hultén uses to reproduce the console’s 8‑bit timbres inside a modern instrument layout. (techeblog.com: ) A built‑in Arturia KeyStep provides keyboard input and sequencing, while a Flamma FS22 unit supplies delay and reverb processing for on‑board effects. (m3.se: techeblog.com: ) Digital artist p1xelfool created a custom real‑time MIDI visualiser for the project, and Hultén integrates that visualiser with a small display to render performance‑linked graphics. (techeblog.com: lovehulten.com: ) Hultén explicitly frames the NES‑SY2.0 as a successor to his NES‑SY37 concept from 2022, with the earlier NES‑SY37 having included a hapiNES L module and an 800×600 LCD on that previous build. (lovehulten.com: nintendolife.com: ) As of March 30, 2026, Hultén has not published pricing, a production run, or retail availability for the NES‑SY2.0, and press reporting describes the unit as a bespoke demonstration piece rather than a commercial product.
