Hello,

I’m trying to use Fasttracker 2 on my compaq armada sb with ES1878 Audiodrive soundcard. I downloaded a driver which is just a esscfg.exe and esscfg.ini file. In ms dos I launch esscfg.exe then FT2…

But FT2 don’t play. Playing doesn’t move. The config is on soundblaster with parameters like what esscfg.exe show.

Any idea ? If i choose speaker then it plays but the quality is bad (saturated)

Does someone have an idea ?

Sorry double post

Hello O2star,

Did you ever planed of adding the possibility of changing pattern while playing for live performance. For exemple it could be press 1 key = jump to pattern 1, 7 jump to pattern 7 etc…that would be cool for live performance. Personnaly I like the ability to instantly jump when key is pressed for stay in right bpm when playing with an other musician but maybe other people will prefer it will wait and jump only at time

Hello,

I added colors, 1/2 1/3 etc… options like on nanoloop and polyrhythms option. I will give the rom after resolving some bugs but here is a short video about the polyrhythms

Hello,

Nice to see there are still someone here! I talked a little with rot on email and he is ok for me to share my modifications so I will add it here and also the github link. My version is on a different branch than master.

I'll do it when I will be on my laptop

I added noise sounds from sound chip (only on gba version). Pulse 1, 2 and wav will normally come. On the ds version I can't suucceed to adding it without lose samples so I think the .ds will be only samples but with more quick accessible options on the second screen for activate or deactivate ia options and y and x for change bpm

I don’t know if there is still people here but I made an other video with B+up/down for tempo because it’s more quick and easy to have bpm here. I plan to make something more live-hurry oriented and with more random and « IA » drum sequencing because like you hear in the video, I want to have something that can play by it self when I play percussion

I hope it’s ok for rot what I am doing. If it’s not I can delete it. On internet these videos are not repertoried. I think I will not make them public or only if rot is ok with that

Wow! This is awesome! I feel under drugs after played with it lol

It should be even better if it was possible to change noise channel note like it is on recent lsdj version. For playing with a drone instrument like a didgeridoo on D. On the other channels it works

With this I think I will make new sounds for my drone project (listenable here : https://astralkinesis.bandcamp.com/albu … e-pr-sence )

@Cementimental

don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. I'm pretty sure there are things which are not written on the screen like enter on the synth mod, if I good remember it's SELECT + RIGHT

Hello,

Just to add this one to the list (nds) :

What about the retron sq? Does it works too with ems64 and insidegadget cartridges? I saw that retron sq can't save on the cartridge. Only on the box... Is it the same with the retron 5?

Hello,

(the rom is at the bottom, I write too much)

I made a few years ago a rom for the ds. I share it with you, I didn't do it before because it's not finished at all, a little bugy (it don't crash but there are problems on screen display sometimes but by switching screen you can normally remove these problems). And I thought I would come back coding it for better looking and less bugs before share but finally I don't know if I will come back to it some day.

Maybe the next thing I will do will be more something on the gba. I started also a tracker on raspberry pi but I think it's stopped too for now.

So instead of waiting years for a finishing which will probably never come, here it is.

At first it was suposed to be just a launchpad, but I always wanted more and more and now there is too much things and I think it's hard to understand what's going on but with a little practise you can make fun things.

It is completly ugly as when I did that I just didn't care about the graphical aspect and I didn't know how make it beautiful.

It is only sample based. No real synthesis because I didn't know how do it. Samples things was easyer to code.

- launchpad with some fx (you press buttons, it make sounds)
- rythm on playback
- synth based on samples (you have something "close" to a music keybaord with all the keys of the nds) with some arpegiators modes
- tracker with only 2 channels (others don't work) and only one page, more fore live things. You can change the notes of all synths in the tracker by pressing the nds buttons. This was inspired from Rythm Core Alpha 2. The play of the tracker is not very fluid sometimes.
- sync mode : it convert the nds into mono and use one of the channel for sync. I tested sync with lsdj it worked but with the tracker it's a little crazy. But sync mode works very good with synth mode according to the arpegiator when you press a button.
You need use a Y cable for use sync mode (male minijack to 2 female minijack) one is for sound and the other goes for example in a volca.

Maybe one day I will resolve the bugs and a better display for understanding what's going on.

I made some vidéos for show what you can do with it :

- Changing the tracker notes like on Rythm Core Alpha 2 :

- Sync mode on the arpegiator (with volca modular and volca beats) :

What is docking station? It's just the full name of the GP2X ? I'm curious

Hello,

I'm having problems when trying to use lsdj midimap with dmg-01, it doesnt work or work for 1 or 2 seconds then stop.

With gameboy advance, it works perfectly, maybe because i use a black gamelink color/gba to color/gba :

which seems to work better than this one : ?

Do you have problems with these cables (like the green one)?

Or maybe my problem is because I have modded them (the ones like the green)? One of the 4 extremity is a minijack, for use analog sync (which works great with gbc/gba and dmg-01). The black gba/color cable I have isn't modded.

The midimap problem is present with the 2 modded cables I have which are like the green one.

Does this can also be caused because arduinoboy gamelink port is the one for color/gba ?

EDIT : after more tests it appears that it's not related to cables, these green cables work good if I use gameboy advance, but not dmg-01. But I don't think this dmg-01 unit have a problem because it can send midiout and do analog sync without any problems...

I found how to resolve it :

- create a folder in the library and name it PS2Keyboard and place the the ps2 library files here. (I first placed it directly in library folder which didn't work).

- replace the line with include "utility/int_pins.h" in PS2Keyboard.h by include "int_pins.h"

- I had also to add a whitespace somewhere, arduino console explained where.

I don't know if I have to do these modifications because i'm on linux or not but if not I explained that to Catskull
