Let the #MakerDays begin!

On September 12 + 13 I will be at the Maker Days in Eindhoven. I will be bringing all Cheerful Elecronic kits for you to see and try out. Come say hi and make music, drum beats and weird sounds with OPL Studio, the OPL2 Audio Board, Bleepsy and my other kits. www.makerdays.nl

Plasma effect running on Arduino with addressable leds inside a 3D printed sign looks so good 🤩

Another demo ready for #MakerDays 2026. A breadboard drum sequencer featuring my OPL2 Audio Board. Come see it 12+13 September in Eindhoven NL and make your own retro FM-synthesizer drums! makerdays.nl

I’m preparing a new arpeggio demo sketch for my Piano Board to show at the 2026 #MakerDays in Eindhoven

I’m trying something new. A small clock with some Ukrainian VFD tubes and neopixel LEDs. The display is working! 🤩 Now I cant decide which color looks best…

I'm happy to announce that OPL Studio and all my other kits are now also available on SmallRun! smallrun.net/shop/cheerfu...

It’s still a little glitchy from time to time and the UI is not done yet but the new OPL Studio composer is awesome! 😎 Full drag and drop of sequences and song fragments is finally happening. lectronz.com/products/opl... #OPL2 #ymf262 #Adlib #MIDI #Lectronz

New on Lectronz: OPL Studio https://lectronz.com/products/opl-studio #Audio #MIDI #Synth

I'm happy to announce that I'm moving to @lectronz.com ! It's an absolute breath of fresh air to see all the flexibility they offer compared to the (sadly) horrible experience that @tindie.com has become. Expect all my projects to be up soon as well as shipping to outside Europe.

My little #Arduino based sound effects toy BLEEPSY is now available on Tindie! www.tindie.com/products/che...

This week Altwire features a review of my OPL Studio synthesizer. Be sure to give it a read if you’re interested in old school OPL3 FM synthesizers! altwire.net/cheerful-ele...

Some big updates for the OPL Studio media player are coming. I’m most excited about the analyzer where you can see the live register updates while a song is playing and extract an OPL channel to a patch in the patch editor so you can can play with the instruments of your favorite OPL2 music!

This week I'm the guest in Arman Bohn's #podcast Tiny Synths and Friends. Listen to us having a fun conversation about mini #synthesizers, vintage audio chips such as the #opl2 and #opl3, #oplStudio and vintage computers and games www.buzzsprout.com/2442026

Ignore the very broken UI, but something really cool is coming to OPL Studio’s media player: grabbing #OPL2 and #OPL3 instrument patches directly from *.VGM and *.DRO music files.

The new OPL Studio v2.3.0 #OPL3 #synthesizer software is going to be released tomorrow with a completely new drum sequencer to replace the old one. Here is a little preview: youtu.be/QAiTYrvjZjI

A little side project from #OPLStudio that I've been working on: BLEEPSY fun a little #Arduino based sound and noise maker in credit card format

The new front panels for #OPLStudio are ready. I think it looks better with the #OPL2 chip included in the graphic. #synth #synthesizer #fmsynth #OPL3 #YMF262
