Omg. You're a hero. This is my biggest problem with the lsdj community. So many awesome instruments but no centralized place to find them.

What do you think about turning this into a wiki so people can add their own?

Or better yet, a custom built site so it was easy to fill them out.

It could then make images or pdfs or whatever for download... Hrm... I could totally do that if there is any interest in such a thing.

I have a binder with a bunch of stuff printed out in it. I can type up all the non-secret recipes sometime this weekend. Seriously people, get a binder, make an lsdj bible. It's got the manual and everything in it.

Hello Baudtack,
Making a ”patch archive” for LSDJ would be a good idea as there are small bricks laying all over the internet as small stones from a big mountain.
•    Some of the patches was digged out through old dead chip-tune communities with http://archive.org/web/
I made this one as .PDF because I find it handier for use.  I support open-source 100% but I’m scared that those wiki pages dies like those chip-tune pages/communities we already have seen.

I be 100 % honest with you. I have no knowledge in making custom HTML sites with scripts and wiki-pages. If we should make it, then we have to make it:
•    User friendly
•    Possible to make a archive “outtake” in a format like .pdf
I found an interesting page by McFiredrill – Something in that style is cool but need some TLC (Tender, love and care)
•    http://lsdjsav.cookiethievery.com/


I can see that LSDJ already has a Wiki?
•    http://littlesounddj.wikia.com/wiki/Little_Sound_Dj

I’m quite sure Johan (LSDJ maker) would support the idea as it would support his program.

Johan is super cool with almost anything involving lsdj, like midi out and that thing that lets you transfer saves over link cable.

The lsdj wiki is kind of awful IMHO.

I found this http://lsdsng.com but they require uploading to get anything and special formatting.

My thought was to have an HTML form that's set up like the lsdj screens so someone could just write out what they did. That way the site can then build images or HTML tables or csvs or PDFs for output.

I'm a programmer and the site itself would be fairly trivial to build. I'll try to build an alpha this weekend.

Hello Baudtack,
If it isn’t too much work for you, then I think it would be a good support/initiative for the chiptune/LSDJ community smile


Kind regards

Something simple like this, where there is just the boxes to type up what you did in the DMG would be cool. and yeah the HTML would be a doddle for anyone who speaks HTML.

I would happily sit down every few months and add my synths to the collection, my only request would be that there is a nice big box for describing the synth with all sorts of adjectives, so when searching for sounds you can type in words like "growl" or "voicey" or "sub" to find the right synths, if it ever grows to a large database that would be cool.

imagine getting a song nearly finished but thinking, hmmmm I need a synth that sounds like a kitten singing in the shower and you type in "kitten" and get a kitten style synth, that would be great

Great idea. I'll be sure to add a tag system.

I've got a basic schema layout for instruments. I'll be improving it soon though. You can follow development here.

I'll post again when I have it running on my server.

Just throwing ideas out here, but maybe give an ability to upload short audio files as a preview?

When I get it into a more complete state, I'll be hosting it and I'll post the URL. There is a lot of groundwork but not much that's usable for a user yet. But if you check out the repo and you install django you can run a test with ./manage.py runserver
