Game of Thrones theme remix played on a NES keytar! [video]

Theme song covers are easy to come by but Theremin Hero has created a great cover of the Game of Thrones theme using a NES keytar! That's right! He has converted a classic NES console into a fully functioning Keytar (and still a functioning NES console) and the sound that it produces is pretty great.

"Most of the buttons are functional and can be remapped to different functions, as can the whammy bar. It also has an onboard arpeggio and drum sequencer. 

The sound comes from the original RP2A03 chip in the NES, giving it that classic 8-bit sound. All of the available sound channels are utilised. 

The software runs on a raspberry pi and is written in a language called Pure Data (pd). There are various modes including a midi controller mode as well as a standalone mode, which allows the whole instrument to be used with a battery pack."

Enjoy!
