cynthCART 64 Version 2 Analogue Synthesizer
cynthCART is a cartridge for the Commodore 64/128 that turns the computer into a standalone analog synthesizer. Cynthcart's key-command user interface allows it to be played and controlled without a monitor, making it especially suitable for live performance.
