Hacker Turns 128k Mac into G4 Cube-based Synthesizer

Pete Mortensen ()


So cool. Ben Fino-Radin is doing some awesome work with retro-tech. In addition to the Hacked Mac shown here, he has made needlepoint 128k Mac replica. He hasn’t done anything new in several months, but I’d say he’s earned a break.

    There’s a strap on the keyboard so that you can hold it like a guitar (that’s a guitar strap just put onto the keyboard)
