The microphone is likely an electret microphone which needs to be biased, meaning it needs a voltage across it. Your laptop does this by default, but Monotribe probably doesn't.
You could look here for example:

http://circuit-diagram.hqew.net/Battery … _2671.html

That circuit is a bit overkill. you can simplify it as follows: Leave out everything except R5 and C1. Connect the other terminal of the capacitor to the output, ie the tip of the jack.
R5 should be something between 4.7k and 10k.
Vcc is the positive terminal of some battery arrangement such as 3-4 AA batteries in series, or one 9V battery. The negative battery terminal goes to ground.
C1 should be something between 1 uF and 4.7 uF. The positive side of the capacitor should be connected "up", and the negative side "down", ie to the output.

Or connect it through the mixer. That's totally cool as well.

Oh and this might be if interest as well:

I want the focus of the program to be live playability, so probably only controllable through the buttons. Full disclosure, I'm even hoping to sell this as a cartridge in the future (as well as being a free download.) As for submissions, as long as I can reproduce the sound, it doesn't really matter. I'm expecting a lot of these patches to be layered across channels and maybe using channel 3, so sav/lsdsng might be easier.

Nah, my goal for this at least, would be a finished 32 kB ROM with only presets.

Will there be support for layered sounds? Maybe through smart voice stealing?

Yes, that is one of the points of making this ROM.

Crazy idea time. I'll make a drum ROM which can be played on the buttons, much like Aleksi Eeben's Electric Drum. It would be using only generated sounds. But to get the best sounds out of it, I would like to look at LSDj source files for really well made synthesized drums. Then a user could mix and match sounds to make their own kits. Would anyone be interested in sharing their secrets for this?

The USB-MIDI adaptor can transmit MIDI signals to the Game Boy and also receive data, packed into special MIDI messages. Only nanoloop supports this way of data transfer.

Nope, LittleFM can send/receive save data through the binary mode as well. However, only the Nanoloop cart can (currently) use this mode to receive ROM data to the cartridge. So, you (Enfy) are still stuck in a situation where you can't write to the cartridge, assuming al you have is the NL adapter.

@nitro2k01: "It’s done and laying on my desk. The cart flasher is currently the only bottleneck." and "yeah getting the data written properly is a bit fiddly. But I almost nailed it." is what the one who made the cart said.

Oh... It sounds like possibly this person either doesn't know how to use the flasher software, or the cartridge is built poorly (has loose contacts somewhere.)

Record a file with the same note first played center, then panned left, then panned right and upload, and I'll try to diagnose the problem.

I like to always point out that the later versions of LittleFM can transfer your sav over the link cable, including to an NL MIDI adapter.

You can get the latest version currently available from here:

And you should also read the release notes here:

LittleFM is not included in LSDj. You need to bring your own ROM to patch. Previously, I distributed an IPS patch which only worked with one LSDj version. The newer versions come with a patcher application which can be used to patch any LSDj version. Just pick whatever version you want.

Btw, if you're having trouble finding someone to help you with the flashing, I could help you with that, for the cost of the return postage. (I'm in Sweden, so the postage should be reasonably fast from/to NL.)

Yes. The initial problem is of course getting a LittleFM-equipped version of LSDj onto the cartridge.

You need LittleFM for that. Get the latest version here:

IPA does not dissolve plastic. The bets explanation I can come up for is that there was a crack halfway through the plastic. Then the IPA leaked into that crack and expanded as it evaporated, which together with the constant pressure made the crack go all the way through rapidly and create a shockwave.

I would very much like to say a proper sharp close-up. (Macro picture taken on a good camera.)

Have you considered using the open source EMS software? It's probably takes a little work to set up, but should be worth it.

r u catchin my drift n2k01

Yeah, but not the drift you're hoping for I'm afraid. From the start greatsword was offering advice, even if radical advice, to the OP, and then it went downhill, iwht people calling him names. I don't believe that a certain type of advice needs to be silenced because it might be construed as medical advice. I will return with a more elaborate argument shortly. Though, it would be nice if everyone stopped jabbing back and forth.
