i thought they use that small port next to the headphone jack? at least thats how that one guy go the midi notes into the psp in that one youtube video.
but if midi can be worked into the usb port that would be IDEAL!

talked to m-.-n,
he's pretty busy these days, and said in a couple months we'd be able to focus on it. Until then... it's gotta be put on hold.

Cool project! Reminds me of how little-scale synced trippy-h and Korg DS-10. Also I'm excited for the next couple of months...

Look forward to seeing what happens with the MIDI interface, glad to see it's properly on the cards this year!
In the meantime (and I speak as someone who's a novice in these things) how hard would it be to rig up a tape sync >> MIDI clock Arduino board? Strikes me that the hardware would be pretty straight forward (I always found building MIDI input circuits a bitch on Arduino, but output was dead easy!) - just an audio line in and a MIDI line out.
You'd still be restricted to doing everything in mono via the Piggy, but it might be a nice cheap/easy interim for getting some sort of clock sync thing going?

LittleGPTracker syncing via audio (as a master) - Tape sync / Sync 24
Hello.
I improved Matt Nida piggy to tape sync:
http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/1869/ … m-machine/
This is for syncing LGPT with device,that can accept Tape sync signal.
Also I improved this method to use it as SYNC 24 (or DIN SYNC) signal.
This is for syncing LGPT with device,that can accept Sync 24 signal.
In both cases, LGPT must be a Master and you can use only One channel
for normal audio output (= No stereo panning). The second channel is used
for syncing audio signal.

TAPE SYNC:
××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
... you can use default pulse from default LGPT samplelibrary (comes in install
folder):
LGPT\install\samplelib\Oscs\square.wav
this is 50/50 duty square cycle
... You can run piggy in normal, not double tempo:
1.Set tempo to 120 BPM, set default groove for other tracks to 06/06
(you have to set GROV00 command in non tape sync tracks/phrases)
2.Set new groove (GROOVE01) for tape sync signal to 03/03
3. Fill Tape sync Phrase with:
D5 I00 GROV 01
D5 I01 GROV 01
D5 I00 GROV 01
D5 I01 GROV 01
D5 I00 GROV 01
D5 I01 GROV 01
D5 I00 GROV 01
D5 I01 GROV 01
D5 I00 GROV 01
D5 I01 GROV 01
D5 I00 GROV 01
D5 I01 GROV 01
D5 I00 GROV 01
D5 I01 GROV 01
D5 I00 GROV 01
D5 I01 GROV 01
(you can use GROV command once, you can use Hop Command ...)
4. Set instrument 00 to:
Sample: LGPT\install\samplelib\Oscs\square.wav
Pan: FE
Root note: C 3
Loop mode: oscillator
Automation: False
Table: 00
Set instrument 01 to:
Sample: LGPT\install\samplelib\Oscs\square.wav
Pan: FE
Root note: C 3
Loop mode: oscillator
Automation: False
Table: 01
5. Set Table 00 to:
PTCH 000C
PTCH 0000
PTCH 000C
Set Table 01 to:
PTCH 0000
PTCH 000C
PTCH 0000
Done!
Tape phrase now runs twice faster, so you can run piggy in normal tempo with 6/6
ticks per note.

SYNC 24:
××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
I tried this one on my Win32 LGPT and Prophet64(on real C64)
(connected AudioR-Clock//Pin3 of DIN//,Ground-Ground//Pin2 of DIN//).
Sync24 uses very high volume, so I can't get it from my Dingoo or PSP yet (sorry, no
time for some solution). but that's not a big problem.
you can use some preamp I think
So, here it is:
1.Set default groove for all tracks to 06/06
2.Fill Sync24 Phrase in all 16 (0F) lines with:
D7 I00
3. Set instrument 00 to:
Sample: LGPT\install\samplelib\Oscs\square.wav
Volume: 255 (need highest possible)
Pan: FE
Root note: G 0
Detune: 87
Loop mode: looper sync
Automation: False
Table: --
4. Set volume of your LGPT to highest possible and maybee use some preamp to connect it to Sync 24 input
Done!
Bye.

HAllo. I'm using Roland TR 707. Midi, Sync24, Tapesync and CV Gate (But there's a lot of limitations, if you are not using it as a Master. For full working synchronization you have to slave it in Tape sync mode. Other slave modes disconnects Midi /or/ Sync24).
Read the manual first.
