i have a vague recollection that some of the nanoloop carts had sound generation on the cartridge, which was only possible because they were custom designed carts, rather than roms

in any case i'm pretty sure that some versions of nanoloop could play two notes at once on the wav channel. i don't think lsdj can do that

prrobably better waiting for someone who knows what they are talking about

LSDJ has:
4 channel = 4 multitimbral

Here comes the part, which confuse you. Normally people would say that LSDJ has 4 monophonic voices if you only use the “synthesis”, but if you choose "kit" under “Wav”, then you can trigger 2 drum samples (Left and right). By doing that, you can get up to 5 voices.
Pulse 1 = 1 voice
Pulse 2 = 1 voice
Noise = 1 voice
Wav using "kit" = 2 voice

aka 1+1+1+2 = 5 voices

Yes but it will still take you past the 4 channel limit in a way

And it was mentioned in the original post, so it's not all that helpful.

Just do what trey does and sample chords.

if you're like me though and you only really want loads more channels for chords rather than lots of layers then thats pretty cool

4.

Pulse 1
Pulse 2
Wave
Noise

I'm pretty sure any Gameboy program is restricted to these 4 channels ( hardware limitation )

true of all dmg/gbc software, besides the nanoloop 1.5 with the 5th channel using the additional audio in that the hardware could support, but wasnt used much
gba software can support more, nanoloop 2.2 had 7 channels
