New Amiga software AcidBoutique emulates TB-303 and TR-808

AcidBoutique is a new music production tool for the Commodore Amiga, developed by wintermute303. The software emulates the sounds and behavior of the TB-303 bassline synthesizer and TR-808 drum machine by reverse-engineering their original logic to run on the Amiga's 68k processor. This allows for authentic sound reproduction on the classic hardware, though users must provide their own ROMs due to copyright. The developer is offering the tool at a low cost to support future updates. AI

IMPACT Niche tooling improvement for retro music production; minimal industry-wide impact.

RANK_REASON This is a new software product for a retro computing platform, not a frontier AI release or significant industry event.
