hot damn.  i was driving myself crazy over the WAV channel one afternoon because of this.  thanks for all of that research dan!

although, just to be sure, maybe you could just ask johan to confirm that this is in fact how the playback algorithm works?  (i don't remember seeing any detailed info on this in the LSDJ documentation, so it would be a good thing to add in the next revision.)

it reminds me of the just-sufficiently-obsolete electronics mounted on the front of exercise bikes.

i'll miss the center dial though.  i like the clicky tactile feel of those.

um, that is fracking beautiful.

the only reservation i have is, it seems to be tailor made for a rack setup in a studio where it's kept safe and sound, but on the other hand something like that just SCREAMS to be displayed and shown off in a live setting whenever possible.

i'm not sure how to reconcile the two.

that's more like it - glad you followed through with a full song.

it's a good composition - better written than your first one imho - and the influence from classical music is evident.   i'm not gonna comment on stylistic decisions or whether or not you successfully used common chipmusic tropes, because in the end that's totally up to you (and frankly, i think more classical-sounding chiptune music would be very welcome). 

also, good noise channel work for a first try - i'm sure you were trying to figure out what kinds of sounds can come out of there.

couple things to work on next time:
- you were probably wondering why you couldn't get much bass out of it.  many here have found that using the WAV channel for bass opens up options for deeper bass notes, AND frees up one of the pulse channels so that you can put in more harmonic stuff.  i'm sure others here could explain it much better than me atm.
- moar arpz. not just for the hell of it, but more as a device to help outline and elaborate the tonality of the melody better.

good to see that there's some interest.  are there any specific topics, questions or pain points any of you have that you'd like me to cover?  that would help me to be better able to structure these live tutorials accordingly.

hey ive been using ds-10 since its launch.  I would love to see some ds-10 workshops popping up, its been around long enough.  Also if you would like to roll around some ideas pm me or email skeetwreck @ yahoo . com

actually the idea came about as i was thinking about the rise in popularity of starcraft streams/casts smile  i think i would be fun to explore how streaming might be useful to the chip community.

the live tutorial series would be more for guiding those who aren't as familiar with the DS-10 -- not so much for people who have used it since day one. though you're certainly welcome to pick up whatever nuggets of wisdom you can glean from it.

so, i'm considering doing a live tutorial series focused around the DS-10. 

the specific format and logistics of the series are details i'm still kicking around in my head, but the general idea is that i would do a live ustream broadcast or something similar for a couple of hours at a time, and answering realtime or predetermined questions where appropriate.  i'd have my webcam setup to show the DS-10 at all times, to show you what i'm up to.

this series would be intended for people who were/are interested in composing for it, and already have decent enough compositional ability, but have trouble dealing with the interface or its limitations.  it's not meant for people who are just interested in making random noise - you don't need tutorials for that.

some of the things i might do:
- talk about sound design.  maybe in the form of, you guys suggest a sound and i'll try to make it.
- explore some options for working around the DS-10's limitations
- dissect one of the tunes i've already made
- delving into the finer points of composition.
- try to make a whole song from start to finish using feedback from viewers (this might open a giant can of worms yeah but it might be fun)
- if possible, walk someone else through the process of starting a new song (anyone have any ideas as to how this would work logistically? skype video perhaps?)

i expect the value of these tutorials would mainly be in sharing my thought process and decision-making while creating music with the DS-10.

anyway, just wanted to gauge the overall interest and see if there were any other considerations i had to keep in mind in terms of streaming / timezones / availability of potential participants..
