Sweet! Now I can backup to the laptop (Win7x64), and not have to worry about making back to the "mothership" for saves. Works just great!

Thanks a bunch!

@<|¦¬{D Yeah, I've read the manual back and forth, and it's not that I am assuming the keyboard doesn't work unless notes are written, this is in fact my experience when following all the directions given to me through the LSDJ pdf and following along with Thretris's blog thus far.

I guess I'm wondering more so how to alleviate the issue or find anyone else that is having/has had the same phenomenon happen to them.

The tip on relying on tables though is of help at least, them giving access to quick effect changes using the keyboard, so thanks for that smile

I'm pretty interested in this info too. Cause I must be doing something wrong.

I have done everything according to the book (of Threatris), down to the same model of keyboard, DMG-07, colors match. While synced up in LSDJ I even get real time recognition of the notes that I'm playing in the little HUD monitor.

My confusion is that I can only render notes if I have already placed them in the step sequencer. I understand that LSDJ needs to be running, but I thought as long as the channel was in use and running, the keyboard would be able to render the pitch and location of notes just by pressing the keys.

I watch other's videoes, and they're even able to play instruments that have an envelope (other than FF) on them. I am only able to get sound from the keyboard if there is already a note being played (written in the step sequencer), and then it can only change the pitch. Therefore, if the note slowly fades away, I can only change the pitch until it fades to silent. Typing on the keyboard doesn't re-trigger or trigger any notes for itself. This is kind of annoying, because if I dont play just in front of the step, then the originally written notes play through.

This isn't correct is it? Tell me I'm missing something obvious please.

What makes you say that? If you show up when doors open you should have no problem getting in.

Oh cause my wife and I donated as one. (without separate transactions) so it didn't look like we'd both get to go, cause I wouldn't go without her.

Wow, sucks, after donating and waiting all this time. Looks like my wife and I wont be able to be let through the doors anymore.

Yes, this is a good point. Make sure to guarantee your admission by donating! smile

So I was curious...
I have donated, but since it doesn't seem like the goal is going to be reached, will the donation still at least help "guarantee your admission"?

That being said, Come on everyone donate! And then stick around in Austin for SxSW! big_smile

Ok sweet, I haven't really expanded my online music venues much, and it's mainly because I've had so much bad luck in the past. (So I guess that can be seen by my latest stop was on Pandora hmm) But if I'm getting Last.FM as a recommendation, then I'm all for trying it out. Thanks! smile

Well I hope so, though I got married last year in late March here in Austin, and boy was is nasty cold and rainy. hmm

But the Highball is pretty nice, get there early though for any faint chance of parking.

So when I'm looking for someone/something else to randomly play some music for me, instead of turning to the terrible choice of the local radio stations, I like to pull up Pandora.com. Now for almost all other styles or moods, I have been able to create a station decent enough that I never have to skip a song; however, I'm having one hell of a time trying to get a worth-a-damn chiptune station "programmed" into a new Pandora station.

Anyone else around here use Pandora? Anyone else around here pulled of a relatively decent chiptune station? Would you mind giving me a handful or your seeds (be it artist, album, song, etc)? smile
