Twisted Electrons has updated its chiptune offering with the new hapiNES L, a desktop version based on the smaller hapiNES.
The four-voice chiptune synth is based around the original RP2A07 sound chip found in the NES games console.
The new desktop edition adds class AB preamp, MIDI and analogue sync I/O, all housed in a rugged metal case.
hapiNES L is available for preorder now at €255 excl. VAT, with shipping due to commence in March 2019. More details can be found on the Twisted Electrons website.
