i still have one gameboy with that problem, i'll upload a sample of it later.

No I think you are just getting the normal output from it.

Oh, so the sample output could be corrupt/broken....leaky?

I'll record some output and post it up for opinion.

i have an off topic question about those schematics..

the VCC at the "Game Cartridge Socket" gives stable 5V?

Interesting problem. It happened to me once, the wav channel was doing weird sample playback when the other channels came along. I've asked here and there to finally see that the capacitors were leaking, affecting the sound quality. what i did is to change the old capacitors for new ones, specifically the ones behind the pcb, connected to the potentiometer (two of them).

I've just bypassed the potentiometer straight to the output from the positive leg of the  capacitors ( sound like an amplifying stage was missing, weird sounding) but the samples were working ok. So, replace them.

They won't last that long as the resistors.

Look at U1 ic, LOUT AND ROUT. they are connected to a 1 microfarad capacitors. that what i've replaced.

Credits for helping me with this are to kitsch. I'm out of total knowledge here, i just know a little actually.

EDIT: Spelling

I think I'm getting the hang of it now.

And people said NTRQ was complicated!

personally, i never use the wav for drums because it sounds awful and fuzzy. use noise for drums.. it's very flexible for drum sounds, once you master the noise and wav you will be amazed at what you can get!

edit: not to mention that the wav channel is the absolute best channel on a gameboy and to waste it on drums is blasphemy! I wish i could trade my two pulses for another!

Tip: Using lsdj wav channel for drums, if you couple each kick with a small noise burst, it will fill in some of the missing freq. and can sound a little full/clear. Also, adjust the time length for each sample to cut off some of that annoying fuzzz.

Tip: Samples sound much better on DMG than on GBC or GBA.

Ah. I'll carry on by ignoring them then

Yes.

I meant describe the sound i guess. Like the 808 kick used to go
"bomptttzzzzz" and now it goes "plp"... not that it would help probably. 

Hmmmm. Do LSDJ samples just sound really poor? They seem to sound OK if I only have the WAV voice playing but at soon as any other channel is used they sound awful.

Oh, I reinstalled it 3 times and on the third time it worked.

*sigh*

Come on, at least give me *some* credit.  I was using the WAV channel

Oh jesus christ, how the fuck do you get the flash software working in XP? I downloaded it from Kitsch-Bent, went through the installation procedure and it said "Cannot install because the software is made for Windows 95" or something similar.

Now I can't get the auto-detect "Add New Hardware" dialogue back and the manual method for adding new hardware doesn't give you the same options.

God, I hate Windows so much.
