Nanovoice is a basic additive synthesizer for old Game Boy models (DMG), using a 16x16 spectral matrix for volume control.
It plays stereo audio via amplitude modulation and offers 15 memory slots for saving sets. While limited, it can add 4-bit flavor to setups and works best on DMG, Game Boy Pocket, GBA, and GBA SP.
The concept of spectral / additive synthesis is rather common and used in many synthesizers. A simple and nice example is "javoice", which was the original model for nanovoice.
