Is there an update on this project? I'm glad seeing the GB303 being open sourced because when i first heard of it i thought it was a fantastic idea. shame it failed and got abandoned.

Its funny i was thinking a while ago of building an arduinoboy for the mGB ROM but also add pots and buttons on the arduino itself and convert it from a simple GB to midi converter into a dedicated mGB controller. unfortunately my programming skills are really far from capable. just looking at the arduinoboy source code freaked me the hell out!

Hi this is a pretty simple question/request i guess you could say.

I made myself a new keyboard mod for my DMG after years of not using my old one and abandoning it, figured now hat i want to play the gameboy more as a piece in a more elaborate live setup, running it with the keyboard mod will help me play the gameboy live AND i'll still be able to use cool LSDJ instrument patches and tables.

I remember last time i had one the software was a bit buggy so it seems probably why i ditched it, now seems a lot more stable.

I noticed that the directional buttons in the num pad switches between the LSDJ pages (like select + direction)
Which is something not documented in the manual. so i was curious about what else is missing from the manual?

I'd love for the keyboard to have the A and B button functionality so i can edit on the keyboard my patches instead of going to the gameboy... don't know if it's already built in or not.

Also i seem to have a problem with the space bar... i can't seem to turn on/off the table functionality. even after selecting which table to asign the space bar, maybe im missing a step?

thanks for reading.

i think i'll stick with it for now... seeing as i cant afford any proper hardware (i indefinitely borrowed it from a friend) i think this will be a good instrument for transitioning from chiptunes drums to proper production drums.

thanks for the comments guys

zoom drum machines are ok, ive had an mrt3 in the past and got good results after i retuned the drums (believe this is an option on the 123 also)...

looked into it. doesnt seem the RT-123 has that function. would've been cool coz im not totally satisfied with the drum samples.

@Tunners
i know that using software would be way more versatile than an entry level drum machine but the reason why i wanted to use it is because i hate using computers. for music at least. but when it comes to programming patterns on it its actually quite easy, i already played a song live with it. it was okay. i might not be super happy with the drum samples tho.

@e.s.c.
i dont recall reading anything about retuning the drums on the 123. i'll google it now. thanks.

hey, a friend of mine had this drum machine laying around so i took it off him. worked with it for a while. sounds pretty decent. really helps out the gameboy drums because they tend to be a little bit flat. tho sometimes i prefer them that way. im thinking of incorporating it full time in my music to give it a boarder appeal.

has anyone ever tried/used it and/or has any opinion about it?

Just found this one. I've sent him a mail. Let's see if he responds...

last update is in 2009 sad

it seems kinda silly to have gone through all of that then ditch it at the very end... then again he might have reached a road block he couldnt get passed.

i would love an SD card GB cart!

a little piece of advice... from my very small, limited experience, dont waste too much time dwelling on what you are using for music, use whatever feels comfortable enough for you... and as long as your songs are sounding nice and have an edge then its a winner, doesnt matter if you sampled your toilet flushing and made a beat out of it.

my 2 cents.
