That's the truth, but if he's just trying to use it as a key-mapped trigger, it won't really matter.

My new chiprock band The Glowing Stars just got added to the 4/7 San Francisco gig! So excite!

Just for reference, I just did this manually. It was obnoxious and time consuming and has side effects. If these had been anything short of raw, thinly constructed ideas, this would have been all but impossible.

First I deep cloned all the chains in one of my ideas until the numbers were well out of the range of anything in the second idea.

Then I did the same for all the instruments, which was a real hassle.

Then I started pasting everything in - the song sequence was easy, but then each chain and pattern had to be pasted manually. In retrospect I would have done instruments first, because any phrase with samples needed its instrument in place in order to paste correctly.

Luckily they were raw enough that I had hardly used tables, grooves, synths etc yet or it would have been a fucking nightmare, and therein lies the difficulty in coding a piece of software to do the job, of course.

As an unfortunate side effect, LSDJ doesn't seem to recognize that many of the pasted in phrases are actually full, and brings them up happily when I select-A-A to get a new phrase, so you have to be careful.

All in all, it probably took only slightly less time than actually just rebuilding the goddamn song by hand, looking at it on a second gameboy.

I'd do this.

1. not care

Since you have another DMG with a working speaker, and the speakers sound so shitty anyway, there's very little use for it.

It's somewhat curious, but I imagine something is blown in the internal amp for the speaker.

Bumping this because I've been thinking about NES sync - ideally from a native tracker, either to LSDJ, or MIDI in general. It seems like we've gotten so close to it a few times, but nobody's actually made it work yet. Is that because we're just waiting for the Blargg/arfink cart? wink

Either way, I wanted to poke and prod about maybe getting this worked into, say, Pulsar and/or NTRQ? I feel like it would really make some already amazing software that much more truly delightful. I've been dreaming about 9 channel composition lately...

non-battery using

I've hacked a nuby light to be powered by a gameboy's internal batteries. It's ugly, but it works great. It's a bit permanent though. smile

Yeah, i might try to contribute, but my musical input lately is very small. But don't worry smile

Low output is perfect for this kind of idea, I think. Sounds clever! I'm checking it out for sure

Sooooo... what's the likelihood of this ever happening? If it's near enough zero, I may go ahead and post my track... I don't like sitting on things.

Heck, I think 6 tracks is enough for a nice little EP. Eh eh?

The DMG ones? The most common ones are Nuby lights, but there's a couple other kinds too.
