Damn, that's not good new if we're expecting v2, updates or at least bug fixs.

Hi,
Did everyone but me received the stuff?
I'm not very lucky with GB stuff: thursday customs package lost, kitsch-bent package lost, furrtek lost... damn-it. I got a voorhessboy by 8bit aesthetic on the way. I'm shitting my pants...

Hi,
If you're interested in the sample to LSDJ wave instrument. Here is how LSDJ wave instrument work (in a user POV):
- there are 16 wave instruments slots available, called "synth" 0 to F.
- each wave instrument is divided into 16 frames ($10 waveforms) x0 to xF
- each waveform is composed of 32 values
- each values is coded in 4 bits (0 to F)

LSDJ let you play the wave instruments different ways:
- "Manual": first waveform played in loop
- "Once": all 16 waveforms played from first to last
- "Loop": as "once" but looped from the beginning
- "Ping-pong": as loop but playing 0 to F frame and F to 0 frame repeatidly

You can choose the speed, time each waveform will be played before playing the next one (for "once", "loop" and "ping-pong"), and loop lenght (in "loop" and "ping-pong").

Tyler Barnes made a tutorial where he manipulates waveform by hand-drawing it:

You can choose which waveform to play by using the F (for frame) command in the phrase or table command. Allow pretty neat sound trickery.

The idea of "sample to lsdj wave instrument" would be to take a regular sound sample (exemple guitar string), to manually chop it in 16 consecutive parts and then quantitize it in 4 bits/16 values/16 frames in order to export it in a lsdj readable file.

Hi mate!
Very good initiative. Thanks.
I'm not working on anything since I'm a programming noob.
But I was thinking, of something usefull. A few people, like me, are struggling a bit on LSDJ wave instrument. There's a synth, but IMO rather limitated.
You can achieve far more elaborated instruments by handdrawing waveform on LSDJ. But to emulate certain instrument, for exemple guitar string, you need to find a sample, analyze it's waveform, and trying to draw it.
If there was a tool that would read a sample, let you manually chop it in 16 equal lenght part, quantisize it in 4bits and maybe let you export it in a lsdj loadable file, that would be a real game changer.
What do you think floaks?

There's chips on it:

dude.... seriously.... un pokito auto-ironĂ­a porfavor.

Nanoloop can do at least two things LSDJ cannot: hardsync and softpulse
Dire hit, if you have any how the exemples you posted were done, please tell us.
I've been listening to Monodeer ans Shitbird a lot, tried to recreate it on lsdj but failed miserably.
For exemple, Panceparty is a great mistery to me:

Something like "Disneyland paris, prepare yourself"?


Sorry folks, sort of private joke
