Corry BanksI came across this Pianocade box via twitter. I love stuff like this PIANOCADE Synthesizer. It pulls at the BBoy Tech in me. How cool is it that this PIANOCADE Synth in arcade drag comes complete with joy stick, arcade buttons, midi (5 pin or usb), imitates several vintage video consoles and is even open source? Hackable and trackable. This is dope. Check it out below or go to Pianocade.com to pre-order.
