i'm using 2 gameboys with LSDJ and i wondering if anyone has any tricks to get 80s style sounding synth chords.
i just cant get close enough to that saw tooth sound
Game boys aren't suited to making sawtooth waves unless you use samples.
You could try doubling up the same notes with a bit of pitch detune on the other channels. Also vary up the duty settings, try combinations of 12.5% or 75% across the notes. The other thing with '80s synth pads is they used a lot of fast vibratos on the tail, so try simulating what the synths do as much as how they sound, sometimes that can give you the effect without having the same timbre.
can you draw two sawtooth waves in the wav channels and double them up..? >.>

im already doubling and detuning, a fast shallow vibrato might actually do the trick ill mess around in some tables

that might work, but i might need to add a third gameboy now XD
if yr using 2 GBs, you could do loads with samples.
hmm ive actually been wanting to make some samples, this is probably the most appealing idea, Thanks Jellica!
