does LSDJ ultimately sync with the incoming MIDI clock ticks?  or does it just merge the info...with LSDJ and the clock doing their own thing?

Ledfyr, I was checking that out the other day but am a little dumb with R pi so I was a little overwhelmed (also I think my pi is at my exgirlfriends house...which presents another hassle).   could you post a pic or schematic of how the whole thing gets connected ?   so the the PI and usb interface acting like a midi merge....  what gets connected to what?  Arduinoboy connections? 

if the Pi can add MIDI clock IN.... its not a limitation of the GB hardware.    Timbob, I think what you are suggesting might be possible, but guessing not with an arduino.   Teensy?

the tap tempo is just basically littlescale's   midi to blink  sketIch  so it definitely be modified to listen for CC's , but i dont want to mess w/ it.  the DMB gets a lot of use in my band and works perfectly as is. There is a lot of midi command floating around in our signal chain and  midi clock keeps it all nice and simple with no surprises.   I can live w/o or work around the delay, so not a huge issue there.     the drum machine tho.....

several things-  a DR-55 that Ive modded to slave w/ midi clock and a Deluxe memory boy to which I added midi clock-to-tap tempo pulse.   

Trying to get a small solo rig together.  No computer.  i wanted LSDJ to be the master sequencer for a small desktop synth (perhaps minitaur)   playing some  passages on it along with some LSDJ bits.   I know I could (and should) add full midi to the DR 55 (midi notes trigger pads) and keep the all the programming in LSDJ... but I was hoping not to.

In a perfect world LSDJ Midi Out would be able to sync w/ Midi IN tempo.  sad

Hi Nick!

The gameboy would choke on sending clock and midi out.

ok-  I think i get it.    if it did receive the LSDJ tick, the arduinoboy could send midi clock, but LSDJ or the GB can only do one thing at a time.    If it is constantly sending the clock tick, it cant send other information.

oof


I should have know better.... it seemed like a way too perfect solution to what i want to do.   i had such high hope for MidiOut... but I need a clock.
I guess I could make another arduino-midi device that counts other midi messages sent by one of the LSDJ channels, multiplies- and puts out a clocktick... getting a little convoluted, tho.

Thats a bummer, but thanks.    Im sure there is good reason, but why doesnt MidiOut spit out clock ticks?  Seems like it would be really...   What is this line doing?:

while(1){
     if(getIncommingSlaveByte()) {
        if(incomingMidiByte > 0x6f) {
          switch(incomingMidiByte)
          {
           case 0x7F: //clock tick
             Serial.write(0xF8);


...isnt it writing a midi clock tick for every LSDJ tick?

New to using LSDJ MidiOut.    does this mode send Midi Start/Stop and clock ticks?   Looking at the arduino sketch, it looks like it should ...but im not getting any.  Target Synths (on the correct channel) play but I need to sync some other devices to the clock tick.

Also,   Im only getting accurate Progam Changes  from 00 to 6F-   after that either nothing happens or it goes back to repeat lower # patches.   im using a Moog Sub 37, which has 16 banks of 16 presets.... (which I thought would make it easy).


Am I missing something here?

thanks

Aww, dude... I just sold it.    Im updating my original post w/ what is still available.

yeah me too

Im clearing out some space and parting with unused equipment - thought I'd give the 'community' first dibs.   If there is no interest, its going on the 'bay, but Id prefer to keep their hand out of the pie.
Ill try to ship everything USPS in the smallest possible priority flat rate box.   Willing to wheel-n deal if you want to get multiple items.
Paypal is accepted.


Tascam Porta02 mkii - four track cassette recorder-   nice little old-school 4track. 12v  Power supply not included- 
$40

Mackie 402VLZ4  Mixer-  only a few weeks old- used like 6 times in the studio!  I really like this little guy, but I need something a little bigger. Like new- not a scratch.  With power supply
$80.

Midiman Mini Macman - In/Out  Midi interface for old mac's with 8-pin DIn jacks
$15

Groovesizer Arduino Sequencer/ Synth mk1- fun little 16 step sequencer w/ synth audio and midi out.  This is one that I hand built, enclosed in hammond stomp box enclosure.  Pictured top left in the photo.   Its turned 90 deg- the buttons leds, and knobs should all be horizontal.  uses either a 9v battery or external supply     ex=    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zsxWfsHDr4     
SOLD

pedals:

Boss BD-2 Blues driver-  in really clean shape
$60

Boss ODB-3 Overdrive-   works, but is missing the back cover, I do have an extra back plate from another dead boss, but I give you the option:
as is ( no cover)  $25  (you can find replacement back plates online)
w/ cover  SOLD

Fulltone Fat boost FB-2 - 
$60

Boss FZ-2  Hyperfuzz - from early 90's- apparently this a pretty rare and in demand pedal- a surprise to me.  Mine is in pretty good condition with some light scuffs from use.
SOLD

Proco Rat- either from late 90's or early 00's- has a pre 3xx xxx serial number- made in US.  looks practically brand new, I dont see a scratch.
$120

Ibanez MS10 Metal charger- w/ mod-   80's "metal" distortion.  Idid a simple mod (lift one diode lead in the clipping circuit) that turns this harsh metalic pedal into something milder and creamy-  kinda like the goldilocks pedald between an OD and Mig muff.  I found surprisingly pleasant.  Unfortunately the bypass (stomp) switch is dying- doesnt always work.   Replacements should be easy to find(it the same as in a boss)  but I dont play as much guitar and am not interested in messing w/ it.  Its in really great shape-  even has the 30+ year old peel off plastic protection over the label.   If you want to reverse the mod and switch it back to stock it should be really simple and obvious to do ( or add a switch...)
$45


korg Flanger-  hmm think Im going to keep this one, sorry.

great!- as long as the damage in in the LCD, not the board and the ribbon cable is in decent shape.... Ill take it.     Actually, Ill take the whole shebang, unless you wanted to hold on to the other parts.    It would probably be convenient to have an extra motherboard for bench testing.   let me know if you want a few more $ for the motherboard and shell parts.
Do you accept paypal?  You can send an invoice to my account- charbot    aaaattttt   gmail

Thanks

(Sigh, I sold a box of gamenboy parts here like 2 years ago, now Im buying it all back, bit by bit)
Anyway...

Id like to try my hand at transplanting a Gb pocket screen into a DMG.  I dont want to muck up an working original gameboys - I recon there a few failed backlight attempts in the community's collective junk box.   Im looking for a few  (1-3) DMG LCD screen boards that work, but have trashed screens- like dead horizontal lines or the cancer, etc.    Willing to pay a few bucks for shipping and your troubles.

Also looking for a dead pocket w/ a working screen, but Im guessing those will be more rare. 

Thanks

thanks guys

-tvall- thats what mine looks like- Appreciate the offer tho.

Kitsch- I just emailed you.

yeah- Ill need to replace the power led as well-While I have plenty of 3mm leds on hand, Im sure others would be into it.

Nice- good to know. Id prefer to have a stock,white one- I figure there are probably a few out there in junk boxes and supporting dead LCDs- but if nobody volunteers one,  Ill go w/ clear. thanks
