This sounds dope!

I just wanted to say thank you to rebb. I just printed out some of his PCBs to use. Super helpful. YOU ROCK.

Finally, a good replacement. I have been lurking around here hoping for this news smile

This is a great comparison. I am pretty sure I have a R3 revision given the samples.

It would be interesting to see a comparison with the modern replacement chips included too.

Just wanted to swing in here and say this is rad to see. GenMDM is a rad bit of kit and it is cool to see it getting produced again.

I have been looking around to find new GB carts that are compatible with LSDJ and preferably ones that can more easily be backed up compared to my old EMS 32m and 64m carts from roughly 2007.

Am I crazy or is there a vast shortage of options being made currently? Can you guys point me in the right direction on my quest to purchase new carts?

It has been a long time since I logged into the forums and I just now read through all of this.

I can only speak for myself and my observation of other musicians that I have met during my years of deeper chip involvement.

For me, I got into chiptune because it was exciting, new, and challenging way to experiment in electronic music. The community was fairly new and growing when I jumped in and for a while it seemed to attract a lot of people with similar interests and personalities into one space. Not only was the hardware limited but so was the information available. This left things feeling like a new frontier. It was a great.

At some point my feelings changed. I think the culture shifted as the genre gained more notoriety, as information/techniques were more documented, and as hardware/software became more available and simplified things. There was also a big serge of people from the gaming world. It brought in a lot of new people who were interested in the genre for different reasons that I felt didn't contribute much to the craft. I began having a harder time finding new things to explore as information on new techniques slowed. During this time I think myself and a lot of others like me started looking at new avenues in pursuit of new exciting exploration.

I believe some one said earlier that everyone got into modular and I think that isn't untrue. I definitely did, and last time i talked to nullsleep, trash 80, and X|K they had too. The eurorack platform operates with a lot of the same principles and limitations as chiptune hardware. For me the chiptune exploration never really stopped. Rather it evolved into different experiments with different platforms and sets of limitation. I think it might be the same for a lot of the old chipscene peeps.

Personally I am not too interested in going back to the old days and more interested in where things are going now. I think chiptune will never be as crazy as it used to be but will always have a home in small groups. I think that’s cool and I am not to worried about it.

so... any success? I sadly am not very code literate and understand very little of what is going on.

Hey guys! It's been a while but I have found myself again playing with the piggy. This time I am trying to use it as a sequencer for my synth hardware. I have one of low gains old piggy to midi boxes connected to my f200 with the usb network set to off, the proper .gpe script loaded, and the last known working midi supporting version of laptop for gp2x.

That is all fine and dandy and I even gotten it to start and sync with my Elektron Analog Rytm. The problem is that I can't seem to get it to send any midi notes out and it doesn't seem to want to work with any of the other gear I have tested. I noticed that midi sync box doesn't seem to even light up either.

I checked my synth midi settings, plugged and unplugged things a million times to check for proper connections, and trouble shot for what feels like forever...

Any thoughts on what might be going on? WTH am I doing wrong?!?!


Please save me as I am going a bit crazy trying to figure this out.

No. I don't really want that but i wont stop it. Truthfully it could go either way and I wouldn't feel all that much about the entire situation.
