I was wondering that myself. Seems to be only one seller who always has a ton of them posted for $30.

I've never seen it, nope. They are used for inserts of course, but that's not very useful here. So on the gameboy, once the traditional 1/4" mod is done, the stereo cable still needs to be split into two mono cables to be of any use. Ironically, it's pretty tough to make a decent looking cable that splits stereo 1/4" to two separate monos, so you usually wind up buying an insert cable.

That was the purpose of the 2x 1/4" mod I did for KeFF of course - he can use normal mono cables to plug into his other gear. I also have a few gameboys in the Glowing Stars fleet that have the 1/4" mod - I did them in stereo only for completeness, we only use them in mono with guitar cables.

fair enough - excited to see them regardless!

Don't get me wrong, I think fakebit is a shitty word too, but a lot of the stuff I hear with VSTs fails to utilize those waveforms in an interesting way, and a big part of that is that they fail to utilize techniques inherent to the original medium, usually because they lack the necessary background to understand them.

There's been a million and a half "what is chiptune" discussions of course, but I still think it's a combination of primitive digital waveforms, techniques specific to synths with limited numbers of monophonic voices (fast arpeggios, voices changing roles quickly, etc etc) and noisy audio. Is there anything else that anyone would argue is absolutely essential to chipmusic?

This has not been my experience.

Yep, no conflicts. The only real "conflicts" are with space, and three mods isn't too much to cram inside. Check out NeX's work to see how much crap you can cram into a gameboy.

I've also done two 1/4" jacks and a pitch mod in one gameboy, that was interesting.

p.s. Nonfinite's backlights are nice, but I'm really partial to the new 3xLED design that kitsch sells, designed by him and Apeshit. They're super easy to install and there's no fiddling with the resistor, very little cutting of plastic. Both models look great though.

I also hate those round 1/8" jacks - they like to spin on the case, and it's hard to tighten them down on the gameboy case because there's very little room for a wrench. Either get the fancy kit (if you're good with a dremel), or find a square part. I have a ton of them and could sell you one extremely cheap - $1 + the cost of shipping (and packaging, haha), just PM me.

Ahh, that answers my question. The way that your kickstarter "rewards" are laid out don't make it seem that way - they make it seems like your'e already totally capable monetarily of building these things, and you just want to sell them only if you can sell a certain number. Glad to hear that's not the case. Thanks and best of luck with the whole thing!
