My plan was to go with white or black cases on three and work the CMY in on buttons, power switches, backlights and screen covers, alternating the colours on each. Love the brightness of this one though. big_smile

Actually have most of the parts now, I should really get round to starting.

The wave channel play a C1, (even though it's listed as a C2) which is 32.70hz...

32hz is below what 95% of speakers can reproduce, you'd need a sub to hear it. (and a lot of subs bottom out at 35-40hz) Go ahead, program a sine wave at lowest C on the wave channel, all you'll hear is a faint overtone unless you have an incredibly ranged system, which is probably just an artifact from the 4bit waveform sampling. 

What does this mean?  Nobody ever should need an underclocked gameboy.  For what you lose in processing power, you gain an octave you don't need. 

Just my 2 cents

Well, I'd be looking for a sub-bass. Although I'd be playing mostly around G1-A1 (49-55Hz) which tends to have quite a nice resonance, and the hope is that the system will have decent sub-capabilities, which is not an unreasonable expectation, in the UK and Ireland at least (I think, I've only my limited experience to go with on that). It will also bring down the pulse channels, which could be of use.

However the drop in processing power is a pretty big trade-off especially if it's you're purely working 1xLSDJ. Also I'm not entirely sure I like the tone achieved by an underclocked WAV bass.

Might be more inclined towards an external synth for sub reinforcement or the addition in software for the end production.
Still trying to figure out it's worth to be honest.

like drives?

That never really caught on, primarily, I hear due to expense. But perhaps there's a future in it?

I don't buy them if I can avoid it.

I'll buy CDs if It's not available in any other format.
Or if I happen across it in some weird little record store somewhere (there's an overlap with the previous point there...).
Or (and this is the main reason) if I'm at a show and it's all that's what the artist has.

The main advantage CDs seem to have for me is their portability for sale at shows, otherwise they're just pointless, inefficient space-hogging nuisances. People really need to figure out a better physical storage media for this...

Still weirds me out to hear people in distant lands loving these guys. But so they should, possibly our finest export, great guys. big_smile
Also, did you know Vinny dabbles in some chippy stuff?

I'd been fucking about with guitar (but couldn't progress because my fingers are mutated or something), drums and casio keyboards... just took it into my head one day fo try and find a way to use a Game Boy as a drum machine, Discovered chip music and got into electronic production from there really. Still learning.

This Is an amazing album, Downloaded and I'll be buying the shirt and maybe the CD as soon as I can.
With such a solid record I really wish you'd consider a vinyl release though... I think it deserves it. Also I really want it. big_smile

That's for NES...

Also, they changed the name? sad
