In this video, synthesist Joshua Coleman delivers a double-barreled blast of esoteric synth action – by not just building a custom DIY modular synthesizer, but controlling it with a 40 year-old Apple II Plus computer.
Coleman covers how to make the connection between an Apple II Plus and analog synth gear, and then demonstrates how to control a modular synth using BASIC.
It’s a pretty hardcore project, but Coleman provides clear explanations of some complex topics.

Hey, where are the commenters?
Okay, possibly I am really the *essential* audience for this one!
Woz would be proud 😀 Now I have to go and turn on an Amber monitor, quick!!! Just because I can.
this is ripe for a funky crossover with the live code music scene (which is insane, btw)
