For sure, and it still looks awesome.

Maybe someone who knows more about this could help but I would have thought 8 patterns x 16 steps would equal 16 bytes, right? Meanwhile, this forum post is around 500 bytes. Can someone who knows more about bits and bytes comment on this?

how much do you want to pay?

of course he isnt the only one, but he's the only one that i consistently recommend because of the many great interactions and transactions i've had with him.

What would you want the buttons to do exactly?

If you use the rock band guitar, then there would be no need to modify anything. The guitar would already send MIDI out, the arduinoboy would translate that for the Gameboy, and the Gameboy would react the same way it would if any midi keyboard was plugged into it.

The trick would be getting the buttons to do specific things you wanted. The midi note messages that the controller would send out are probably not changeable. So you'd either need a computer in between the Guitar and the Arduinoboy or you'd need to learn how to modify the arduinoboy's code to do the translation for you.

Or you could post a thread in the Trading Post sub forum offering a specific amount of money to someone who could modify the arduinoboy code for you.

First of all, epic thanks everyone for the epic feedback, especially bryface and noobstar. I can't respond to everything but I agree wholeheartedly with almost everything you guys said.

I agree that tech diversity would definitely make it a better show but I'm also limited because so few people in Rochester make chip music with anything but LSDJ. A lot of people suggest trying to use skype so if I can get that to work well, then diversity will be a priority. If not, then I might have to stick to what I have around. I can do episodes on Famitracker and VGM MM though.

I think this is an AWESOME idea and I'll definitely do it going forward.

We shot it in a few hours and then I edited a little chunk of it ( ~10 minutes ) every night for a week.

This is a major priority going forward. I thought I could do it myself but I realize now that I should go to someone who knows what they're doing. Hopefully you'll see a dramatic improvement in sound quality with the next episode.

I think this is a great observation. Initially, I was going to make the video alone. Then I thought it would be better to have a friend there too so the conversation could flow naturally and I'd be less self conscious. Then I thought it would be cool to get a "noob" and someone more experienced so that we could cover a lot of ground. I think you're right that certain parts are boring to the experienced users and other parts go over the heads of the beginners. I kind of like casting a wide net though because the main goal of this is to be useful, not necessarily entertaining. I don't know, I'm actually going to give this question a lot of thought before we make the next one.

I'm getting some comments saying the episode should be shorter and some saying the length is fine. Personally, I love longer episodes when the show is educational. However, I definitely think there's no point in a longer episode if there's no enough content to fill it. I'll be more aggressive with my editing and more focused in the material I want to cover next time.

A lot of people have said things like this which is really interesting to me since this wasn't my intention at all, haha. In future episodes, I'll be acting more as a host / interviewer, I think, so I can ask a lot of questions that deal with songwriting, motivations, influences, etc.

YEP. :-)

Thanks a lot!

I actually refer to you at one point in it by calling one of the instruments "my Zef / Danimal ripoff wav instrument", haha.
