Like I said, Reaktor... Even if you use it with external gear, it's brilliant. There's an advanced envelope generator instrument which you can use, and you'll never need another envelope generator. Or just use Reaktor for all your synth needs.

Re: Dream Device: Analogue Synth controlled by a tracker (10 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
If you really need analog, I'd recommend Renoise + MIDI CV interface (or DC coupled audio interface) + a modular synth system. But you'll need enough money.
Or, you might just prioritize real analogue a little bit lower and go with Renoise + Reaktor. It comes with a learning curve and it isn't analog, but gives you all the possibilities you want.
Also, C64's filter is analog and raw. And while C64's oscillators aren't analog, they're certainly raw.
Also, I love your music, triple question mark man.

It'll work. with LittleFM. It's just a matter of writing a new flash driver for the flash chip in derpie. But because I'm lazy, you'll probably just be able to use the 8 MBit for savs, i.e. 8 slots. That's the same as in other compatible cartridges.

KT is right! Lube is the key. I recommend alcohol (ethanol) for aluminum. Keep it wet at all times.

And Gijs tutorial:
This is basically my method, but not as good. With Gijs' method you need a "dead" step before each kick to set the initial pitch. (What he calls pull up notes.) With my method you instead set the initial pitch and start the slide in the same step by using the P command.

Re: Monotribe is MIDI-controllable! (37 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
Note!: Special ROM is only for using MIDI, and then you're not wasting any channels. The method where you pan stuff is for a stock LSDj ROM and stock monotribe. Nano sync would work if you divide it down. Nano sync is 12 or 24 ppq, whereas monotribe expects only one pulse per step in its sequencer.

Re: Inconsistent pitch behavior in LSDJ Kick (14 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
So yeah, using the L command will solve the problem since you will "land" on the note you want. Another thing you can do is to switch the vibrato mode to one of the low frequency modes. (Anything but HF.) This also affects the pitch slides. The difference is that in HF mode, vibrato and pitch slides (P and L commands) are running freely, whereas in the LF modes, they are synced to the tempo. In other words, it's 100% consistent, and will also be stretched with any tempo changes. However, in the LF modes you need much bigger values in the P command to get the same effect. Maybe even P80 (the biggest negative value) to get a good kick.
Another thing, move the P command out of the table and place it in the phrase. It may seem like this makes no difference but any commands in tables are executed slightly later, which means you'll get a like a small "click" of the tone you're starting from, before the slide actually starts.

Topic: Monotribe is MIDI-controllable! (37 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
Yep, read all about it here:
http://blog.gg8.se/wordpress/2011/08/14 … di-and-me/
I imagine it would be nice to use it as a companion to trash80's LSDj version with MIDI out.
Even so, you can actually sync it to LSDj using the sync sync input on the back, using a special instrument that just creates a single pulse. Then you can pan that instrument to the left and the actual sound to the right, and connect the left channel to the sync input, and the right channel to e.g. an audio mixer. This requires a prosounded 'boy, however, otherwise the level isn't high enough to actually trigger the monotron.

Re: The Progress of Chipaedia (500 Albums) (36 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Chipaedia should now be up and running and pretty well spam-protected. This also means you have to have an account with a confirmed e-mail address in order to use edit pages without filling in a CAPTCHA each time.
The site has also moved to a new server, and it will take a little while before the DNS change reaches everyone, so it may take up to 8 hours before that happens. http://www.chipaedia.com/ probably works better than the one without www.
Also, I will go away on Thursday morning and be away for a month, and I'll have very limited time dealing computer stuff, so if you find anything weird, report it to me as soon as possible.

Re: DMG linkable with SP? (14 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
No. There's a clever system of plugs and sockets to enable different compatibility schemes.
This is a GBA link port (same on GBA and GBA SP). Notice the little notch. GBC doesn't have this but the port is otherwise identical.
This is a GBC link cable. Notice that both sides are flat and that there are two angled corners.
This is a GBA only link cable. Notice that there's a bump matching the notch, and that all four corners are angled.
As you can see, a GBA link cable plug doesn't fit into a GBC socket, because there's no notch. a GBC link cable plug fits into both kinds of sockets.
If Nintendo had wanted, they could have made a GBA only socket, with four angled corners and a notch, in which the old GBC plugs would not have fit. Instead, history went down in such a way that GB micro, the first GBA-only (*) Gameboy had a completely different connector.
(*) Actually there are ways to go into GBC mode on GB micro, but that's very hacky and not useful.
