For the past couple of years, I've wanted a small, vintage sampler like the Casio SK-1 or Yamaha VSS-30, but I haven't had any luck finding one at a reasonable price. Then, during sophomore year of electrical engineering college, I learned about FPGAs. I put two and two together and decided to try making my own FPGA-based lo-fi sampler.
Intresting project! Are you still working actively on it?
