XinT
By anders pearson 01 May 2001
Q: what do you get when you mix together the following?
- one Z-80 microprocessor (state of the art… in 1976. 3.7MHz. 8 registers. 2K of RAM)
- about 20 bucks worth of misc. electronic parts
- 2 antennae
- a few hundred hours of time that really ought to be spent on more important things, but…
- 4 engineering students with just enough knowledge to be dangerous
- a love of obscure musical instruments
- and a unhealthy desire to produce lots of loud, fucked up noises that will annoy the hell out of anyone in a ten block radius.
A: you get XinT, the world’s first microprocessor controlled digital theremin. designed and built from scratch by yours truly and 3 other depraved (and now slightly more deaf than before) engineers.
for the bargain-basement price of $10,000 USD, the XinT team will even custom build one for you.
