The NTH is a fun-to-use, sonically-rich, hackable music synthesizer. It features digital oscillators, an analog low-pass filter, an integrated step sequencer, MIDI I/O, and simple, intuitive controls.
The NTH is available for purchase from February 2, 2012 to March 1, 2012 via Kickstarter:

Upon successful funding, production of the NTH will begin and the entire design will be open-sourced.
Audio examples, product photos, and additional documentation can be found at the NTH website:
The NTH was designed by Kevin Holland (sineqube.com) and John Staskevich (highlyliquid.com).
The design for a MIDI2600 enclosure has been posted. The engraved aluminum panel can be ordered from Front Panel Express. Like the MIDI2600-External, the enclosure can be connected to an Atari 2600 via joystick extension cables.
