I recently watched Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and was floored by it.
The Earth has been infested with giant maggots and poisonous spores; everything that grows on the Earth becomes poisonous to humans, with the exception of a few small villages by the oceanic coasts.

Re: Is DJTransformer a reliable seller? (56 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I ordered an LSDJMC2 this past May and didn't receive it until August. I tried communicating with DJ Transformer and canceling the order through Google Checkout, but to no avail. Finally at the beginning of August, he told me that it would ship soon; I requested he ship it to a new address since I had moved into a new house in the 3 months it took him to ship the thing, but heard nothing back. Well, he shipped it to my previous address and didn't tell me, so eventually after waiting for about 2 more weeks, I went to the post office who said they got the package and delivered it, but didn't say where.
I was then left with no option but to knock on the old house I lived at and ask if they got a package. They luckily had gotten it, and taken it and kept it in their house hoping someone would show up to get it.
Basically, if I hadn't been extremely lucky, I would not have gotten the LSDJMC2 at all, because it would've likely been returned to DJT, who then would've never answered my emails and I'd be out nearly $200.
I would never buy from him again, but I must say that the product itself is sturdy, works well, and I use it multiple times a week. Still, not worth the drama.
If anyone is looking for an LSDJMC2, I'd recommend Komakuya:
In the time it took to deal with DJT, I was so fed up that I ordered one from here. The manager of Komakuya, Kazumi Kuroda, was incredibly helpful and communicative. I contacted him and had a few email exchanges, placed the order, and received the order FROM JAPAN in less than 2 weeks time (I live in Texas in the US).

Shit, well I guess all I can do is hope that DataPop returns in the future haha. But for those of you who did attend, how was it???? I saw some pics that a friend took and it looked pretty epic!
It was sooooo goooood!
I took some pictures too. Here's an album!
I also recorded audio for the full sets of Sievert and fuckjazzforaminute (but then unfortunately had to leave since it was late and I had work early the next morning), and took a lot of videos that I'm going to edit together soon.
So don't worry about not being there! I'll post more stuff when it's ready.

I'm planning on using some of this as b-roll for a documentary in the near future, but for now it's just raw stuff to look at. right now youtube is still uploading it, but it should be live in about 5 to 10 minutes:

So, I know these are pretty rare now, but is anyone up for a trade / sell?
I'm willing to pay top dollar, or trade games, modded gameboys, parts, or anything else you might want that I have (got some little casio keyboards, guitar pedals, a mixer, etc).
Thanks!

Re: Want to start chip collab project in Austin, TX (4 replies, posted in Collaborations)
hi dave,
i'm in a chip band in austin, tx called chalkboards, http://soundcloud.com/chalkboards
not really sure what we'll be up to in the immediate future, but we just finished and album and are trying to turn it into a live show. i think the austin chiptune community is going to meetup sometime this summer and make some plans for the future and maybe start plans for a regional texas show, but there's definitely nothing concrete yet.
i'll keep you in mind if we ever want to do a little collaborative experiment or something like that, or if any new info about the show reaches me.
in the meantime, it looks like Screamforme99 is also getting a show set up sometime soon? i really don't know anything about this, though. looks cool if it happens, though!

Re: Help with Nanoloop Teensy MIDI Sync (17 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Hey everyone, so I haven't been messing around with it too much this weekend (been busy getting ready to move to a new house). The delay functions in Logic didn't help me any, and I think the issue is something more troubling that that. As I said, the Nanoloop runs in sync with Logic (they start/stop at the same time and are communicating), but Nanoloop is running nearly at half speed as Logic (about 75% slower), which seems like a bigger problem than minor latency.
I'm still investigating and will post if I figure anything else out.

haha blaming the link cable was my first instinct -should of went with it
esp. since i thought it odd someone who could build a sync device wouldn't know how to slave nl.
so have you solved the logic issue? I use logic as well, and will soon enough have a nl usb sync thingee, so I would love to know your resolve in case i run into the same problem.
I haven't exactly solved the issue, but I don't think Logic is at fault here – probably it's either the Teensy (unlikely) or the GB link cable (more likely) or something else I haven't thought of yet (most likely).
That being said, I wouldn't recommend you use the Teensy sync, unless you just want to do it as a quick, fun project. It isn't stable enough (for me) for a live performance, because it skips notes in Nanoloop roughly about once every 50 notes (or maybe once every hundred).
I know that seems like insignificant because it's just 1% of the notes, right? Well, it actually skips a note about every 30 seconds, and from what I've read in other Teensy tutorials / discussion forums there's no way of making this any better.
And when I say "skip," I mean there's just a blank, totally silent beat where none of the tracks play. It's pretty noticeable and distracting in the middle of a song.
I've ordered an Arduinoboy kit from Meow Meow Meow:

And I think this will just have to be the way I go.
daSID wrote:
in logic, are you syncing nl with outboard midi gear or vst softsynths?
Well I'm actually not syncing to anything but backing tracks in Logic. I have an album's worth of recorded material, but the songs have backing keyboards, guitars, bass, drums, etc along with two GBs, and there are only 2 people in my band (including me), so we need to be able to have the GBs run by themselves in sync with backing tracks we've already recorded and then have ourselves able to run around on stage with other instruments.
But as long as you get it in sync, you shouldn't have any problems with outboard MIDI gear or VST instruments.
