This burns my ass somewhat. While a rapport with the audience is important, eg. "How are you doing tonight? Are you enjoying yourselves? Thanks for having me," if what the performer is doing matters more than the music itself, why are the audience there?
While a circus-act feeling can help keep people who aren't necessarily musicians interested, and sometimes stupendous technique is part of that, and others just need a smoke machine, some lighter fluid, and a zippo, what's the point if people don't enjoy your music at face value?
And of course, it always depends on the audience. Here in Brazil, I´m used to perform for audience who are more into experimental/weird music, so they have a good time looking at what you´re doing with your gear, or they´re just hypnotized by the visuals. On the other hand, I felt slightly uncomfortably performing at Blip Festival 2012. Kris Keyser had a blast of a gig, jumping around and smashing a DMG in the end. People went nuts. Then comes this weirdo fuck from Brazil and stands there like he´s playing a round of Tetris. In any case, I think the most important thing is that the one who should have more fun is the artist himself. It´s not a matter of ^fuck the audience^. But I do think it´s the most boring thing in the world to just press play and listen to the same music you´ve listened to a bunch of times.

It also sucks when the performer doesn't look like they're having all that much fun, and live mode takes a lot of concentration.
Some people comment that I'm "too serious" at my gigs. That's right, 'cos I'm really concentrated. But for me that's where all the fun dwells: using live mode in lsdj/lgpt, tweaking the synth modules, mutting/solo channels etc et al.
My body is far away from a sabrepulse performance, but my brain and soul are completely tripped out.

https://pulselooper.bandcamp.com/album/s-i-n-a-p-s-e
S I N A P S E is Pulselooper's 10th album.
It was slowly written and programmed over two years, using a Nintendo Game Boy Advance console.
The tracks were selected from a live performance and cut straight into VHS tape.

Re: Vice 'Music Made on Game Boys Is a Much Bigger Deal Than You'd Think' (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)
At least Vice UK gives much more attention to the music itself than its brazilian counterpart (Vice Brazil recently did a stupid article on a teenage boy who makes "8 bit" cover versions of cheesy brazilian songs, using typical Sao Paulo´s hipster acquiescence).

Can I drop an SSD in there? Also, when I do drop in a new drive, what would be the best way to get an OS on there?
Don't know about the SSD. I mean, it's the same slot as the 2.5" HDD, but I don't think an old OS would know how to deal with that. Or maybe I'm talking shit. I'm sure Carl Radlib can answer your question.
Regarding the OS, my Libretto has good old MS-DOS installed. I just got a SATA 3.5" to 2.5" cable ('cos the startup bios can't deal with USB, at least in my old PC), plugged it into the HDD and into my PC motherboard. Chose the 2.5" HDD as startup disk on the bios and popped the MS-DOS disks (yeah, I still have a floppy drive). Maybe there's an easier way.

just put a 2.5" HDD on that and use a usb-sata adapter for file transfering.

The Count wants to place emphasis on the fact that LSDj is nothing more than a basis or guideline as to better cater to the chip-tracker audiences. Once further development has been completed, the hardware limits will be tested and the plan is to greatly exceed the expectations that LSDj users may have. I like to joke that it will be exceeded 256 times over. Maybe you binary junkies will understand that.
I understand your point on using LSDJ as a basis and all, but really... No need to keep comparing one to another. See the example of LGPT. "Apples and oranges" blah blah blah.

Also, YMDj will come with a set of default FM patches so people who just want to up and away write music without messing with the synth can have fun right from the get go. But it will also come with the ability to import and export FM patches, of which there are thousands already on the internet. Same goes for samples.
can I give you a hug?
