That passive matrix mixer is an intriguing item, so pretty and it's giving me a lot of noisy ideas.

This is awesome, and listening to this gave me fresh ideas to try in my own music.

So all the wav channel stuff is done using this

The LSDJ manual wrote:

When pressing A +
(LEFT, LEFT) while CLIP value is selected, the program will jump
out of range and play back sound from raw memory when clipping.

in the DIST field of a kit instrument which gives you the weird numbers like you mentioned.  To get maximum clipping and weirdness you need to have both sample channels playing together, loop set to on, and then it's just a matter of a LOT of exploring and trial and error.  tongue  The S command in a table is also your friend, on a sample it moves the loop point at different rates.  Sometimes I used a the vocal sounds as normal samples, other times samples from the ANIMLZ kit work great or really any of them once you experiment enough.

I wish I knew what, if anything, the digits in the DIST field mean.  Maybe I can get some info out of nitro if he happens by this thread.

Oh yeah, the reason I say that you should use a pre 4.7.0 lsdj is that this technique isn't nearly as extreme with nitro's sample playback fix.  Evidently a lot of the sound I'm using isn't from the sample itself but from the clicky-nasty playback that was present in lsdj before that version.

You obviously have a cultured and considered taste in music.  wink

I feel this quote that's been going around tumblr is appropriate:

"Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them."
— Brian Eno, A Year With Swollen Appendices

What started as a recording experiment turned into something I like quite a bit, i.e. noisy ass chipmusic.

Straight LSDJ recorded through a mic'ed practice amp. LSDJ sav file is included but you'll need to load it into a pre-4.7.0 version since these 3 tracks rely heavily on the "faulty" sample playback present in those versions.

My opinion on this changed after I'd been to a few chip shows. Even a gameboy sounds a lot different through a big sound system and for me it sounds much better.  Creating that big sound through mixing and some effects is my goal when I'm working on a project.  To quote 10k "live it seems less dumb" tongue
