Good Day fellow chip musicians,

I am currently looking into manufacturing some Drum'n'Bass pieces with LSDj, and I was wondering if there are already any releases in that manner. If anyone can think of anything, could you please be so kind as to point me into the directions of it? I am looking espescially for 1xGame Boy releases in a more "laid back" style, as opposed to breakcore, which I imagine is more prevalent in chip music.
This is in order to learn what works and what does not.

Thank you for your time

Dire Hit's stolen ep is the closest thing I can find to what you are looking for.

rockmans older stuff is pretty DnB centric without getting into breakcore. also some of smiletron early lsdj stuff is probably worth checking out. all 1xlsdj

I've done some 1xLSDJ DnB stuff on my album: http://madwaves.bandcamp.com/album/hyperreality

Check out Crook O, Thought Crime, Living in Filth, and Kensington Strangler.

My advice is don't use just 1xLSDJ. The drums created in LSDJ just don't do justice to DnB and at some point you'll have to sacrifice aspects of either the drums or the bass for one to sound close to what you really want. 2xLSDJ could work better but honestly you're better off pairing LSDJ with a DAW building your drums tracks inside the DAW.

Not so! LSDj drums can totally work DnB. Yeah, it won't sound like literal Amen breaks if you aren't using samples, but I write Drum/Drill/Glitch n' Bass all the time. Make a table-compressed noise snare, and an arsenal of noise hihats with varying shapes and parameters for the K command, and a good thick kick drum in the wave channel, and it's totally within reach.

I was there when his cart was stolen, actually; he visited Providence and we played a set together, and I guess some little kids pickpocketed him during my set.

Smiletron definitely goes into the right direction, although it is fakebit (according to the tags) - I am not sure wether I can produce something similar sounding with 1xLSDj.

I would agree with Invisible Robot Hands, especially on the importance of wave channel kick drums; the problem with that is the lack of wave bass. PU channel bass is a lot worse than PU channel kick drums IMHO (I tried that. I am looking into adding bass guitar via DAW on that particular piece, but that is always sketchy due to synchronisation isssues. Without added bass, it does not work in a dance club environment.).

I have to agree on that; it sounded more akin to Dubstep, if anything bass music related. It really deserves mentioning if the context allows it!

I knew Saskrotch would come through with the goods.

I think littlescale has a amen break kit floating around somewhere. Probably wouldn't be useful to you.

Ummm... you can always try kick+bass instruments or maybe an 1/2 clocked dmg to get more low out of your pulse bass?

By "kick+bass instruments" you mean kick drum and bass together as a sample? The 1/2 clocking would be really nice, I remember kitsch-bent selling a kit for that at some point. Aaaaand a quick search tells me that it is available again - excellent!
