Japanese developer tkimura shared a workflow: download the schematics and UI materials of the classic Alesis MMT-8 MIDI sequencer from the Internet Archive, hand them to Claude, and get a working sound-source emulation in 230 minutes.
The tweet echoes the newly surfaced web emulator "WMT-8," which recreates in the browser the sequencer beloved by Autechre and Carl Craig — demonstrating a path where hardware archives plus Claude can quickly produce runnable audio recreations.
