STEPPER: A new 16-step sequencer for the GBA
Both Nanoloop and LSDJ are closed source unfortunately. But ArduinoBoy is open, so maybe you can get from its "what to sent" to your "what to receive"?

suggestions for hardware synths that make videogame/ chip tune sounds
My chiptune setup for years has been an arduinoboy connected to an original gameboy running an mGB cartridge hooked up to a MIDI keyboard/interface of some sort. Something like this using a keystep37 would give you a very portable, playable, and decently affordable chip tune setup with lots of modulation and some sequencing options!

Where can I get either a nanoloop USB-MIDI-adaptor or Arduinoboy pro micro in 2022? Know of build guides for either?
Add to that the original maker's open source software found here......

HELP How Do I Use This Thing???
I know LSDJ supports MIDI through a device called the Arduinoboy, which basically would allow you to interfere a MIDI keyboard over the 7-pin DIN connector and use the Game Boy as a synth.
- Have a few questions about using lsdj and ableton.

- Quick question does anyone here have any experience flashing this ROM onto any GB Cartdridges? I’m attempting to make a Synth out of gameboys

Whats your favorite VST for making NES style 8bit music?
Retroplug (https://github.com/tommitytom/RetroPlug) is pretty rad. Dowload the mGB ROM (https://github.com/trash80/mGB) and you’ve got anear perfect gameboy sound!

My first full track, sequencing Elektron Model:Cycles and a Gameboy (DMG-01).
I'm using this device from catskull electronics to send midi to the DMG. The gameboy is running mGB.

My first time doing chiptune on actual hardware (DMG-01)
I got the Polyend Tracker for Christmas and am using it here to sequence a Gameboy via the arduinoboy from https://catskullelectronics.com/. The gameboy is running mGB. I'm also using an Elektron Model:Cycles to add some fm sounds.
