ARDUINOBOY HOST EDITION • Game Boy MIDI Adaptor New USB-C

An updated version of the trash80 ArduinoBoy MIDI adaptor for Game Boy, with a USB-C host port to plug in and power a piano keyboard.

Change the settings on any Arduinoboy variant with the free no-install Web Editor

Connect a USB MIDI keyboard right to your Game Boy without a computer in-between. Or, connect it to a computer/phone as a driver-free MIDI device.

Good ol’ MIDI jacks are here too, TRS MIDI A jacks and our own patent-pending Half-DIN port for universal classic DIN compatibility.

*NOTE: A 6-pin DMG or GBC link cable is required. Some cables have only 4 pins, and GBA cables do not work.

This version even doubles as a handy USB-C to MIDI adaptor for all your MIDI gear!

Arduinoboy lets a Game Boy communicate with MIDI gear. You connect it to the Game Boy’s link port, then run one of these ROM files from a cartridge or flash cart. Different programs turn the Game Boy into different kinds of MIDI instruments and sequencers.

• mGB turns the Game Boy into a four-channel MIDI synth you can play from a keyboard or sequence externally. (Up to 3 note polyphony + 1 channel for noise)
• LSDJ is the famous tracker-style full Game Boy music workstation. Arduinoboy can sync it to MIDI clock, trigger notes and song sections, or let LSDJ control other MIDI gear. This is the original inspiration behind the Dirtywave M8.
• Nanoloop is another Game Boy sequencer that can sync with the rest of a MIDI setup.

Metal-reinforced high-strength PETG enclosure survives all squishes. Multiple hip colorways and custom color options.
