MANIFESTO
As time proceeds through the modern age, past once futuristic milestones like the turn of the millennium, and dates of apocalyptic prophecy, we look back on the years that have passed and wonder where they leave us. Neither shiny, idyllic utopias nor grim post-collapses have truly materialized, so we wonder now what future we have left to expect. What tale of tomorrow is left to be told by a world that should already be there?

Existing works of media, common purveyors of what may arrive next, are themselves couched in their own respective timeframes. Due to specific technological tools, or in-vogue stylistic techniques, most creative works telegraph the era in which they were made, even when depicting a hypothetical future. These means and methodologies were typically discarded when the next big thing came around (arguably, before their potential could be fully explored), further entrenching the identifiability of when something was produced.

More recently, this trend has started to reverse. The rapid advancement of easily available tools, along with anachronism itself becoming a motif, has lead to imitations of the past becoming common-place. This, combined with the Internet's ability to preserve, catalog, and analyze our memories, has led to a sort of temporal compression of culture. The content of creative works has begun to disassociate from the context in which they were originally formed.

Rather than fight against this phenomenon, it is time to embrace it. Treating the past as off-limits makes little sense, as it has begun to act not just as inspiration, but more like its own type of material. By combining, retooling, and synthesizing these elements, a better understanding of time may arise.

We believe that the retro-future is still ours to create.

when you updated, did you hold B and hit select+start? your update may not have committed.

Aha, that may be it. You just B+select+start at any time? Didn't realize I had to commit.

Thanks

Thanks for the responses yall! I've synced the Volca Sample to other hardware - mainly Pocket Operators - to great, locked in success so I don't think it's the Volca.

And it's a stereo cable for sure!

I've got a NL coming in the mail but if i'ts the cart - that won't help.

LAWD.

So I've tried this with two different GBs now - a typical AGB-001 and AGS-001 (SP). i've also rebuilt the cable - it was originally built with a DMG-005 cable and an adapter. Now I've rebuilt it with actual CGB-003 GB Advanced sync cable. I've tried syncing to a Volca, PO-14, PO-16:

THEY ALL SKIP STEPS

Am I going crazy here? How the hell are you all getting a dependable sync?? This is killing me - I only picked up NL2 for the analog sync! Could my cart be faulty?

AHHHHH (DYING). Thanks for any help yall can provide.

Bummer, just gave away my other. Could it really be the GBA itself though? The GBA itself doesn't send out mystery pulses when the NL cart isn't loaded.

I've got a few you can borrow if you want.

Thanks for the offer dude

I use a gba sp with nanoloop 2.7.7 and the gba sp is slave sync to the volca. It works fine.
The cable is made by duality micro.
No skip for more than one hour.
Try another gba maybe.

...Game Boy controlling a whole chain of modern analog synths? Awesome!!!

You've had more luck than me! My NL 2.7.8 sending CV seems to skip pulses or add occasional pulses or something that makes the sync occasionally jump steps on my volca sample. Is this a known problem? I'm in A/2 mode.
