**[Hackaday](https://daily.dev/sources/hackaday)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Drum Machina Go! is a new music sequencing tool for the original Game Boy's DMG sound chip, created by audiowanderer. It exposes all four native audio channels (two pulse, one waveform, one noise) each with a 16-step sequencer, plus an FX section, ADSR envelope controls, and filtering options. It supports link-port sync with other Game Boys or PULSE OUT sync with Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators and Korg Volcas, and includes a live-mangling effect controllable via the D-pad and buttons. It can be run from a flash cart or an emulator.
