Maybe a MIDI channel issue? make sure you're sending on omni. I'm not sure if the LEDs light up for keyboard mode.. I will test tonight.
You also need to have an instrument, phrase and chain created, and the transport started.

My pupper isn't into it but is too polite/lazy to do anything about it. He's more into the smooth synth soundscapes of Vangelis and Tangerine Dream.

Finally getting around to trying mine out and my link cables won't fit on it. Too tight a fit. Does anyone else have this issue?
It's a pretty tight fit but mine is fine. I haven't tried actual multisync with it yet.. so far I've just used it as M2M adapter to make a longer sync cable

Buy fl studio or reason and use simple analog synths then.
Basically this... if you just want chip-like sounds, you can do that in almost anything. It's just simple synthesis.
If you're talking about making actual chiptune, then we're talking about abandoning the comfort of modern DAWs and MIDI and learning how to use trackers.
Either one is great but if you're just looking for chip-like sounds, your DAW probably has them already.

PM me when you put them up on bandcamp? I'm interested, but didn't say anything earlier because I wasn't sure if I had use for it yet.

Re: [question] How to get the "yeah" sound like Bit Shifter? (2 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Short version:
in synth settings, choose saw wave, turn the Q up to at least 3.
Set the start cutoff to 10, set the end cutoff to FF.
Use in once, loop or ping-pong OR use manual and advance frames manually.
Experiment with phase, vshift for wilder sounds.

Does this setup suffer from the same pitch issues as Synthcart?
I think I already know the answer to that question but... one can hope. Synthcart is fun but not at all practical to use with other gear

I am honestly in the middle of the same thing... BennVenn RGB controller with KB RGBx3. I've got it working but I screwed up some of the solders getting it all buttoned up. I'll try to offer some advice later when I can take some pics.

Re: How is your local chiptune community? (430 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Salt Lake City, Utah... There's me, Conquer Monster and Volt44. OK Ikumi had a chiptune phase but friends tell me he's moved on from that and doesn't really do chip anymore.
Conquer Monster is cool and enjoying good success, in fact they're putting on a collaboration with the SLC Municipal Ballet Co. tonight and tomorrow night employing ballet/modern dance along with thier music and visuals. One guy plays C64 (Cynthcart I think) and GB Color (not sure what software) and the other plays old-school synths like Moog and MicroKorg.

Camping on a bunch of kicking LSDJ tunes, not able to decide if they're "done" enough for album release and going through shopping for a netlabel to put them out on.
Waiting to buy nanoloop mono hoping that mono+LSDJ is the sonic breakthrough I'm hoping for.

Re: ps2 keyboard lsdj polyphony (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
If you are using a PS/2 keyboard plugged in to the link port, that will not work with mGB, only LSDJ. In which case it will not do polyphony.
If you are using a computer keyboard via the Arduinoboy, you have to have some kind of means of outputting MIDI with the computer keyboard.
If you are using a DAW that can use a keyboard to play notes, that must be enabled and you must be outputting to the midi output that is connected to the arduinoboy. Keyboard mode with the arduinoboy is not intended to automatically work with the computer keyboard, it is meant to emulate LSDJ's keyboard sync mode via MIDI.
You can read more about how the Arduinoboy works here: https://github.com/trash80/arduinoboy

If you're using an arduinoboy, mGB will do polyphony. I don't think LSDJ does.

Any examples out there of mono + LSDJ? Couldn't find any in the thread or YouTube.
I'm inches away from ordering mono.. I know they'll sync but I'm hoping the two will compliment each other well.

Topic: Soldering to CPU on DMG-CPU-07...can it be done? (1 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I bought the RGB backlight controller from BennVenn to use with a RGBx3 from Kitsch-Bent. I need to solder to 62-66 and 69 on the CPU, but when I cracked open the DMG I wanted to use, it's a CPU-07 with the black goop of doom on the chips.
Can I follow the leads and try soldering somewhere besides the CPU legs, or should I bag it and use the CPU-04 I have here even though it's in rougher condition?
