Yeah the lack of chords is actually one of the only limitations of LSDJ that makes me a little sad...would love to be able to do NES-style chords (e.g. Zelda) just to add a little thickness/depth to the sound.

nes and gameboy have the same amount of pulse channels.

Question withdrawn. I figured it out

Did you try using eq roll off of all the higher frequencies before importing?

Yeah I experimented with that as well with no luck.  Any specific numbers I should try possibly?
Thanks.

Kits in LSDJ.  I download a premade kit and flash and all that and it works.  When making my own though...sounds like shit.  I've messed with all kinds of things (exporting in 16bit, gain, volume, etc.) in Audacity for about a month now and have seen no progress to speak of.  Any help or suggestions would be great.  I'm trying to broaden my skills and this is definitely a limiter.
Thanks, fellas!

was curious about those underclocked gameboys. If I had an underclocked GB connected via arduinoboy would that mean that if I set the tempo on ableton live at 160 then the GB's tempo would actually be somewhere around 80? or would it still be instant (160)?

from what i understand, if you're using an external clock (not the underclocked gameboy) the external clock triggers the notes essentially, so even though the gameboy is running slower the triggers still come in at the same speed, and are triggered at the same time.

... but i could be wrong.

well, it's not really an LSDJ limitation, it's a hardware limitation, you can do chords, but then not much else, you could use two gameboys and have chords on one and other things on another, or something like that, but that's part of making music on the gameboy. It's just how it is.

yeah when I said "limitations of LSDJ" I really meant "limitations of making music using LSDJ compared to other hardware such as NES." Shame on you for not reading my mind, though!

Sorry is this has been asked on another part of the site, but im trying to make Chords on LSDJ. I know the C command, but it sounds like its alternating the notes in my opinion, is there a way to make them play at the same time without using both the Pulse channels?

That's how the medium works, boss

Yeah, each channel is really just one channel, you can't have it do more than one sound at once.

Alright, thanks
