awesome. i always had a similar idea. but with an arduinoboy and the gameboy guts inside an old midi keyboard. I had dreams of making it in a ms-20 style case, the screen and the buttons on the top half for using MBG. but nowadays i doubt i'll ever find time.

i wouldnt play music through a dmg speaker....... i did that and trust me -  it will upset your neigh-bours with all the bass.

Slightly un-related, but one thing i noticed once when doing my midi-syncing was the midi cable.
Until i went to pick up a new midi cable and i noticed they had some Roland leads specifically for midi sync. Well thats what it says on the pack anyhow.
So turns out the default 5 quid midi lead i had was just poo-ey. I didnt know that before, so it might help some people.
Also - I have a slight off with my lsdj sync too on ableton. I always ran in slave mode syncing ableton and lsdj. I'll go home an try it on midi.

you make good points. i make stoned points that i probably contradict an hour later. i will leave my final say as my first. For what it is the song aint terrible. im sorry for my rant. i am old now. and i sold out to making hipster music thesedays anyway so i should really shut the fuck up before i get called out on that.

i am all for things evolving sure. just sick of playing an ital tek record or phaelah and having a drunk dickhead asking me to play dubstep.
I dont mind there being a type of dubstep like this waaah waaah stuff, but its annoyingly popular now, not in the sense that 'im too cool to like mainstream dance music', in the sense that its just bandwagon shit now. Fucking the doors and skrillex - fuck off. Everyone popstars making a record with 'dubstep influences' (cringe) thesedays. Anyway there is no settlement to the arguement because i can not hear this music as anything else than over compressed modern dance music shit with no rawness(in  the good sense) or nice bass.
i did youtube scary monsters but im afraid i hear nothing groundbreaking about that synthesis what so ever. just horrible synth leads put through a skream filter on reason...... it sounds like garbage to me. Its all SO over compressed and boring. Not suprising by the 87676 videos on youtube showing 'how to make dubstep bass that sounds EXACTLY like so and so's bass sound', and everyone using the same kick snare as deadmaus.

So i do get narky about it sometimes, who wouldnt. years ago im playing people dubstep by loefah thats raw and deep like old jungle was and people are like its fucking shit that dubstep stuff......fast forward a few years and there all like 'yeah im into dubstep'. and they are. because sadly thats what is perceived as dubstep thesedays. tell someone you like dubstep and they mke all these odd waaah wer wub wub weeeerp noise with their mouth at you lol. But of course there is still dope shit about. Pinch never let the side down, always pushing forward rather than making remixes of pop records liek the other sell outs. nothing wrong with selling out. theyre entitled to make whatever they want. as you are entitled to enjoy it. as i am entitled to despair with it haha

But dude seriously -trap music has been about LOOOONG before 2012. i know skrillex has done a tune with ASAP now but that shit is not legit AT ALL. This is why i rant. because trap is already dead for the most part. the 'EDM' people have got their mitts on it and turned it into waaah wweeeer disgusting shit like how dubstep died. That skrillex and asap tune is just beyond awful, total bandwagon shit. the origin of trap is similar in a way to dubstep really. Its dark, brooding, low-fi in many ways in its rawness. Not hectic shit with synths that sound horrible fighting for space with an MC....... The old dirty south / crunk beats have been knocking out for years, hence the old TI record called 'trap music volume one' from years ago...... its bong smoking hustler music out of atlanta. But now its turned into 'dance music' as opposed to a hip hop beat someone would mc over. I dont mind that. I dj it. Well the 5% of it that isnt utter shit....... it has of course evolved as you said things do. unfortunately evolved into predictable territory where bro step is basically now slapping an 808 trap beat under its waaaaah and killing 'trap' music of any opportunity to become more thoughtful and interesting ala evian christ. Now its all trap mixes of old trance songs from the 90's, all with the same fucking bleeps and whirrrrres.

if you read all this - sorry you wasted your time on my stoned rants again haha

oh god yeah. he started of trying to rip off Spor sounds in drum n bass in the first place lol. Then Spor made some of this horrible 'dubstep' as people call it and Xilent did too. I mean this is straight Radio 1 lunchtime shit in the UK. If someone dropped this at a proper bass music night in London  (or even shanghai for that matter) where the attendees where over the age of 14 people would heckle.  I really really really dont get it at all what people see in this music. Its just so stupid and the complete opposite of what dubstep was intended to be, which is just funny and ironic when you think about it. Where's the space ? The cavernous sub ? Its all waaa waaa duck rape - ugh

for what it is (brostep), ive heard MUCH worse

stinks of amber/incunabula ! this is a good thing. Very very nice werck sir
