yes that is correct, the S channel has "4-voice polyphony and stereo phasing effect"
if you're like me though and you only really want loads more channels for chords rather than lots of layers then thats pretty cool

yeah ive been eagerly waiting nanoloop 2 since i started a hardware collection a few months back. if you really want more than four channels either double up on DMGs and LSDJ carts or await nanoloop 2
"Nanoloop two is currently in production. If you wish to be informed when it is available again, please send an e-mail to [email protected] (for a single notification, no newsletter, so subscription) or follow nanoloop on twitter. "

I think it's really interesting the comments on sound design and instrumentation. I'm going to try and take that on board whenI start my next project.
This first thing I've been piecing together has been made as a learning process of LSDJ and now I know how everything works I need to really make it work for me. As i said before if any LSDJ heads are interested in getting stuck into the dubby stuff with me feel free to get in touch, my a full dubbing studio is ready in boxes...

Re: 8 Bit Reggae (72 replies, posted in General Discussion)
well unfortunately there isnt an awful lot, most the 8 bit reggae producers are using laptops. I have recently invested in a dub set up and LSDJ etc but whilst learning the ropes I've mostly made some pretty heavy grimey stuff and hip hop beats with an influence of reggae dub. so I'm gonna wrap up that rap release and then get started on serious live dubbing productions with dual LSDJ.
I'd love to have have people on board making the backbone of LSDJ projects to be dubbed and voiced

Re: 8 Bit Reggae (72 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Yeah I understand, I guess that's where 8 bit reggae can hit a bit of a block, because old school reggae riddims are so simple you either do what you are saying or you start to drift away from the genre basis.
I have found in my recent productions and my first rap album with helgeland 8 bit squad that we do the the latter, drifting away from the strictly reggae side, and entering a new unchartered territory where we don't really have a pigeon hole, apart from something like "8 bit reggae hip hop" but its not reggae...this is where genres and pigeon holing start to annoy me. we make music ...

yeah i hear ya man. check out these for non mario sampling super hardcore LSDJ skills.
The scene is definitely in its infancy compared to the established chip scene, and I think it could benefit from more hardware experimentation etc but some people are still absolutely killing it as it is. check out this playlist from french producer wellwell and various reggae singers

expand? whats a gimmick in chip music?
I think a lot of 8 bit reggae is done with samples or synths like chipsounds instead of hardware

Yeah jahtari were the first (and pretty much only) label doing dedicated 8 bit reggae stuffs. I remember when I firstfound them after making a bunch of electric reggae myself, i was quite taken back, and bought their entire CD catalogue at the time !
