This runs great on iOS. I just need a bigger iPhone...

It's 640 * 480 so I had to play with the display settings a bit to get LGPT to fit. I got it to work as a midi sequencer, but haven't done much extensive work with it yet.

This is great! I'm sure this will come in super handy. I noticed that tables with Arduinoboy commands (NXQY) don't load, they don't exist in the normal version of LSDJ, so it makes sense at this point in the dev. Exciting stuff!

There is a lot of good advise here, these are very common struggles for a lot of musicians it seems. I myself have "cyclothymic disorder" according to pros, which is like a weird mild bi-polar-ish depression. So in the case that things I've learned from this can be useful to anyone here, I've listed some things that best help me stay productive:

Regular exercise (cardio / "core" is best). I try to do two 20 min sessions a day.

Diet. I eat a lot of high energy veggies. Avoid things that will make you feel terrible, and avoid eating too much at one time.

Maintaining a to-do list. It is really difficult to get back on track if you let it grow on you. I recommend using a to-do list app for everything. There are ones like Habit RPG that give you level points for doing things, which is pretty fun.

Keeping your environment clean and organized at all times. Seriously, this makes you feel constantly productive, ready for creating things, socially appealing, and positive about yourself image.

Leaving the house during times you are prone to feel unproductive. Schedule time to be at a coffee shop to work on a laptop / gameboy, or just to read / meet a friend. Schedule this time early in the morning on days off, or whenever you're likely to fall into the trap of feeling overwhelmed by things you want to be doing. It kickstarts your momentum, and gives you some scheduling to work within.

ABC: Always Binge Coffee.  This is more of a personal choice, but personally I feel way better after some coffee.

As for Music: When you sit down to make music, try to avoid focusing on your equipment, sounds, patches, VST effects, setups, etc. Just try and make a simple skeleton to a song, focus on making beats, tunes and chord progressions without spending too much time on production. I fall into this trap all the time, after I've spent hours finding new VST effects, and testing all of them, I realize I haven't made anything and lose interest. Starting with songwriting gives you a much clearer direction, and leads to much more meaningful tweaking.

That all said, I fail at these things pretty often and get off track, but having the above advise helps me know how to get back on track. I'm still trying to get myself to make something for Weekly Beats...

Anyway, lets all dominate this sheep year with tons of productivity and releases!

It does indeed run! They have a Raspi build on the piggy site. It hasn't stuttered or locked up on me with the RP2B.

Oh yeah! I keep forgetting that the G command isn't global. Very powerful technique to explore!

No problem, guys!

I was thinking, maybe I'm not giving the C command enough credit.

who needs tables anyway?
