    I'm sure everyone here is familiar with Chiptunes.

    I've found that Cynthcart sounds great for the C64. And the same person created Synthcart for the 2600. MidiNES looks good too.

    I was wondering however, is it possible to connect keyboards to these?

    I was thinking about a C64, C128, synthcart and MidiNES. MidiNES says I connect it to a sequencer, Freezepop uses the Yamaha qy70.

    What exactaly would I need to set this up?

    Hmmm what about moving this to offtopic ? since it feels more fitting there.

    sure. If a mod could do that, sure. I just figured since it involves the use of video game equipment.

    Ly-Colizer: I think it is because he likes the SID chip sound. And quite a few chippers prefer the SID chip sound in their tunes. Compared to the Atari ST.

    yes. The hardware I'm using I enjoy quite a bit. I've never used an Atari ST. The Atari 2600 makes a REALLY cool drum machine. I might use the Gameboy.
