@Biere Gratuite (and cyberic): Okay, that makes sense! I think I have some idea of how that could be done. Thanks for the resources too!

PyLSDJ is really well written with clean classes and objects.
I think you have to look here:
https://github.com/alexras/pylsdj/blob/ … j/synth.py

You have a WaveFrames class.
This is where you should put the sample data.

Get in touch with alexras through github or by PMing him, he has been helpfuls with me and has accepted some of my pull requests.

If you fork a github repo, tell me so I will monitor it.
And if you need some testers, please tell!

@sandneil: Haha that's an idea! But does it sound any good though?

midi input for LGPT would be amazing, you could use it as a midi sound module really nicely.
also yep multiple midi outs (though we got 16 channels so not greatly needed by so many people i wouldnt think)
multiple AUDIO outs from LGPT however (even only 4 or something) that could be routed to your audio interfaces outs, would be so unbelievably useful I would cry.

Yeah, multiple audio would be mental too I was thinking multi midi because a lot of things these days are USB midi, so you can't chain them...

There is also LSMC/PyLSDJ:
https://github.com/alexras/lsmc which could be a good starting point

LSDJ let you play the wave instruments different ways:
- "Manual": first waveform played in loop
- "Once": all 16 waveforms played from first to last
- "Loop": as "once" but looped from the beginning
- "Ping-pong": as loop but playing 0 to F frame and F to 0 frame repeatidly

You can choose the speed, time each waveform will be played before playing the next one (for "once", "loop" and "ping-pong"), and loop lenght (in "loop" and "ping-pong").

Tyler Barnes made a tutorial where he manipulates waveform by hand-drawing it:

You can choose which waveform to play by using the F (for frame) command in the phrase or table command. Allow pretty neat sound trickery.

The idea of "sample to lsdj wave instrument" would be to take a regular sound sample (exemple guitar string), to manually chop it in 16 consecutive parts and then quantitize it in 4 bits/16 values/16 frames in order to export it in a lsdj readable file.

djhaka, maybe get some computer programs to write music for you - algorithmic/computer generated music is a lot of fun and you might get more out of doing something creative like that for yourself than doing things for other people? unless you are exceptionally generous

how are they even slightly similar fuck renoise

They're sample based music tracking software, they're way more than slightly similar. The biggest difference is Renoise looks like famitracker and lpgt looks like lsdj.

speaking of dream lgpt features i would like to see a more normal tracker keyboard input scheme for PC (q = c, 2 = c#, w = d etc) - i know it is designed for handheld devices but it has a lot of unique features and a fun workflow and it would make a good pc tracker

That's called Renoise.

Also, you guys don't really want a channel mixer in LGPT, you want a POST command (as in, post filter volume).

And yes, we all want Android LGPT.

@Biere Gratuite: So I think I understand more or less how LSDJ wav channel waveforms work… would the sample be a certain length, i.e. one sec, or you choose what section of the sample you want to use?

I honestly haven't used LGPT very much, just opened it once or twice. By 'mixer' do you mean like an audio mixer, so you can modify the volume and low/mid/highs of a channel?

I guess I'll have to do some more research ! A lot of great starting ideas though.

I agree that LGPT would be a great program to add some features like a mixer. I strongly disagree that it needs FF tables. I would like to see the project that has 128 tables filled and needs more!

The worst part is that lgpt cannot currently stack tables, I've never used more than 10-15 ever.
