For those of you who don't know, Rob Pheg is some guy from Texas who went to a show that IAYD played, and upon hearing IAYD's music and not liking/understanding it, threatened to throw a beer bottle at him. Whether or not this was the fault of the sound guy at the House of Rock in Corpus Christi is inconsequential now, as it's now a competition to see who can jump the shark the fastest.

"Hey Adam, are you still making that 8-bit shit, man?"
"Kind of, although I've been creatively stagnant and the scene-"
"Oh cool, you ever heard of Sabrepulse? He writes the craziest 8-bit Nintendo shit."
"Yeah."
"You should write some crazy shit like Sabrepulse."

To me, chiptunes sounds like a fluffy adolescent hobby, like legos. Chipmusic sounds a bit more refined and dignified.

Whoa, you must be using an old version of LSDJ then. In that case, you can check out your version's manual here:

can you think of something, even if vague, that you would want to accomplish with tables? Then maybe someone could post something.  It helps to be a little more specific. 

What have you done so far? 

Have you tried using tables in conjunction with noise instruments to create a snare sound, for example?

Or have you tried arpeggiation or pulse width modulation?

the last two paragraphs on this page discuss using tables win lsdj, have you seen it already?

I haven't really done anything with tables yet, I've been using trial and error with it but it still doesnt help much cus I like to know what it means when I'm doing it. Is there anywhere that I could see a description of each setting? like V- volume etc.

Something I'd want to accomplish would be making a sound that starts from a high pitch then drops to a low pitch if that makes sense

You would want to use the L or P command for something like that.

To see basic command information within LSDJ, go to the project screen > help > command list. You can also set a command and doubletap A to make a brief description of the command scroll across the top of the screen.

Just like with anything else in sound design, your best results are either going to come from:

1. Experimentation and re-use of cool ideas you've found.
2. Knowing what you want something to sound like and using your knowledge of your software/hardware to achieve it.

Once you're familiar with the behavior of each of the commands in LSDJ, either one of these steps should be a breeze (usually).

I would love to check out the source code to this... seeing as it's a shell script it's going to have to come under at least one person's scrutiny at one point anyways.

Obligatory Strobe:



The idea of programming actual functional software in Bash seems really alien and awesome to me. However, that being said, gstreamer NSF playback is just awwwful.

double edit: To set a range on a random number so that you don't have to code a really dumb way of selecting a song, you can use a modulus. A modulus divides a number by whatever you tell it to, but instead of outputting the result it outputs the remainder.

I love the concept behind this.

I am from Portland, Oregon. I make chipmusic.

I am hungry.

OH I GET IT, IT'S A SOCIAL COMMENTARY ON MODERN LIVING

Also, stay off the internet.
