One thing with volume fade-ins you could do is put 0F first and then after a gap put a sustain envelope of the appropriate volume, and repeat. So that it maybe goes:

That's just a guesstimate but that kind of technique might be good.

I've done this a few times (actually, I did just this last night on something I was working on, heh) but it's pretty hard to nail exactly where to trigger the sustain, it takes a lot of experimenting to not get a noticable volume jump.. but it works well when you do hit upon it.

Your volume progression is not being smooth, so those are the "clicks" I believe.
Try using a table, too.

That was a table example.

edit: Also note that the clicks are there if you increment by one instead of two as well, sorry for the bad example.

I have the same issue with the L command, it never seems to bend notes how I want - I find it easier to use the P command and play with the vib. type if i want a nice Portamento effect.

L is one of my favorite commands.

One thing you have to note is that it bends the previous note to the new one.

A#6 ---

C 6 L02

Bends the A# down to a C. But as aphasia noted, you're only going to get something usable with an 01 or 02 (experiment, naturally).

A cool effect is using an L with no note, this bends anything down to nil (or C 3, I'd assume).

A#6 ---
--- ---

--- L01

Or something like this, is a cool little sound.

I wouldn't mind some usage examples of the volume column in a table.

For example, using the volume column to build a slower or more controlled fade-in than the envelope settings can, I would put something like:

VOL
01
21
41
61
81
A1

But it creates "clicks" at each step, making the fade in effect useless for the most part (at least with the instrument using it isolated, the "clicks" are kind of hidden when everything in playing at once for the most part).

Is that just a bug/feature with LSDJ or is it a hardware limitation?

The only thing that makes Live Mode unique is the ability to start and stop channels "live," that's it. Any other fiddling around that you can do to alter the song while it is playing (for example soloing/muting/panning channels) will work in Song Mode.

I would suggest a thread title change to "LSDJ - Live Performance - Tips/Guides/Tutorials/Videos" to get better discussion (though I'm sure most people will "get" what you're asking anyway).

Princess, I'll take a look for him, thanks for the info. Yes, I'm coming down to SXSW just to hang out with you guys (since they're doing the same show in Denton and all). Actually, there was some Austin chitchat going on, I'll PM you about it.

IAYD, if you decide to come for Denton, you've got a place to stay if it's not too creepy. wink

anyone here going to that anamanaguchi/sabrepulse show? been thinking about it

The one in Denton?

I was already planning on going to the Austin show, so I'm not 100% yet.

If my Dallas plans materialize by then I should definitely go to try to get the word out though.

As I said on 8bc, I really wish I could help, man. If you want I'll send you some links of North Texas chip musicians if you don't know of them already.

That could be probably the most helpful thing anybody could do right now. Drop me an eMail with all the information when you get the chance.

It used to have a visual screenshots but it looks like it's been lost/changed.

Edit: If you click the platform you want to use it shows screenshots.

Very nice.

I'm going to drown in options when I get my C64. o_O;

No interest, since it's not a unique color.
