oh, excellent! I didn't see your earlier reply somehow but that sounds perfect. Sometimes the gb noise comes in handy, but sometimes I like it a bit softer for EBM snares big_smile

Sounds like it'd be a really good match for nanoloop 2. I've been kinda wanting to get some more acidy tones out of nanoloop!

yeah, my money is ready! I'm definitely gonna keep some aside so that when it's done (don't rush oliver! all good) I can buy it right away big_smile

sounds wicked. I'm not personally a fan of the GB-style noise channel, but hey I'll work with it.

Yeah, if only the DS had link cable support, then I'd use that instead of my micros. Having said that though, the tempo of nanoloop is pretty solid so it's probably not too bad to sync by ear as long as the tempo doesn't change..

Not sure if this is what you're after but it looks like fun:

Lots of prog, metal and IDM. Genesis when I need cheering up, Meshuggah or Textures when I'm angry, Autechre when I'm doing repetitive technical illustration work. Actually, IDM works really well for when I'm working in puredata as well..

yeah, the site says it has the same sync options as a nanoloop one cart

I cant afford some homemade midi box solely for the purpose of nanoloop usage...

3.5mm plug -> link cable plug. Send a sync pulse from Renoise or any DAW, it shouldn't be too difficult (or expensive) to get it going. Also the official nanoloop USB MIDI adaptor thing is pretty cheap..

Interesting, so if this is the same as nanoloop carts for GBA (i have 2.3 and 2.7) I could use multiples of 15 for the BPM and my tempo alignment problem will be finished/gone?

what are you trying to achieve? Nanoloop's tempo is slightly inaccurate, ie. I'll have to adjust BPM in Reaper to 99.783 or something if nanoloop's BPM reads 99, but then again I have to do the same with my monomachine, so..

Can you not just use either the usb-midi device, or send a sync pulse into nanoloop, or use nanoloop as the sync master? Using any hardware together without syncing (other than two copies of nanoloop on two identical game boys, but even still) seems like a nightmare to me..

If you're just sampling loops into a DAW (tbh not sure why you'd want to do this with something as dynamically controllable as nanoloop), I don't see how it's a problem to adjust the BPM slightly so the DAW fits to the game boy..

I'm pretty aware that my stuff doesn't have mass appeal in the chip scene due to it not actually even "sounding" chippy 90% of the time, but I keep doing it and submitting it for chip labels/compilations/whatever out of spite. Not sure if that counts as being conceited..

awesome. I'm very excited about this; mainly about being able to sync it with nl2 and get some sick acid sounds going.

Shame the CGB won't work properly with it. Guess I'd better get my DMG back from cTrix soon big_smile

Was just gonna recommend this pedal. I was very surprised how good this pedal sounded. Behringer is usually hit or miss, and this is one of the best hits along with the RV600. Cheap, versatile and stereo ins and outs.

Yeah, the RV600 is amazing. Not quite as lush as my Midiverb (or Virtualizer Pro reverb, even) but it's really nice in my chiptune setup.

The DD400 is one to look out for as well if you want a super straightforward digital delay; what makes it unique is that it doesn't try to simulate analog delay by pitching the signal when you adjust the delay time—instead it just increases the buffer size. Makes for some very sharp, Gantz Graf-ish glitching effects.

I bought the Zoom MS-50G and it killed my pedal GAS dead.

The Boss GP-10 did that for me, at least for guitar pedals. Basically turns any guitar into a higher quality Variax. The depth of routing, modelling/effects, even synthesis is insane.
And because it uses the GK pickup, I'm seriously considering removing all of the pickups on my Steinberger and turning it into some (even more-) futuristic laser axe.

True.

I didn't even know you posted here! love your work!

I started with FT2 from a PC Format cover disc. It came with a bunch of demoscene MOD and XM files that I listened to religiously for a few years. I didn't really know what chiptunes were back then, I just started making music with FT2 and then eventually other trackers. I still prefer MOD/XM music over most stuff made on LSDJ/nanoloop, although some of the nl2 stuff has been getting pretty innovative these days.

tldr: I don't really like to listen to a lot of "trad" chip stuff but enjoy making it for the challenge. Fleshbrain fkn rules though.
