Control chaotic NES noise with custom drum software and controller

Filed under: Fan stuff, Mods

Ever wanted to form music that sounded like stuff exploding in Contra? The Elecrokraft Super Synth Drum set, consisting of a custom NES controller and a special cartridge, allows you to play 8-bit drums just by pushing controller buttons. You could do it on any two NES controllers, but the Sonic DrumAxe controller is a lot easier for one person to manage.

The program is pretty slick: controller 1’s buttons compose tones, and controller

2’s buttons control on-the-fly looping. It’s available on the creator’s website for $50. Apparently he sells DrumAxes on eBay occasionally, but none are currently available. After the break, we’ve got a demonstration of the amazing DrumAxe/Super Synth Drums at work.
