Super MIDI Pak Coming to SFC/SNES

A new MIDI synth interface called the Super MIDI Pak is available for pre order on their website SuperMIDIpak.com.  This custom cart turns your Super Famicom/Nintendo into a polyphonic MIDI synthesizer, and gives users direct access to the consoles sound chip.  

This can be accomplished by either connecting via MIDI cables to a keyboard, etc or using the USB port from the cart to a computer where you can access via their companion web application to use its advanced features. 

Super MIDI Pak will sell for $99.99 and the pre order window will be available for about a 3 month.  Ending on 15 October 2021, the Super MIDI Pak is likely to be a single run production as stated in the video.  Links and features down below.
