Hey Alexras, nice work! I haven't spent too much time with this yet, but I'm excited that you seem to hhave made a way to import/export instruments. I didn't see any wavetable data in the .lsdinst files. Is there a way to include those in the instruments?
Edit, nm I figured it out, dur. So you can't write the wave data to a sav file though? Is that correct? You say in the docs, "Note that waves in pylsdj are read-only, since updating parameters will invalidate the raw waves." Sorry just trying to understand if there are any limitations.

Yeah it could be a chip limitation. I just want it all in one Pocket!
So sick!! Not sure why they separate 'rhythm' from 'sub', from 'factory.' Rather have bass lead and drums in one, but i dig it anywy.
If there were an instrument file format for lsdj that would be amazing. Then you could make your own sav file, a la carte. Just throw in whatever looks good. I've been dreaming of that for ever. I need to check out that python library.
Oh Shi...

PyLsdj does seem to have a JSON .lsdinst file format. Next to have a look at the GUI tool...

Yeah but who said that's what emo was about? Early emo was more about introspective/spiritual lyrics, and a certain type of dissonant and spooky instrumentation. I think the backlash against it is quite interesting.

I didn't realize that real labels were using bandcamp. That's weird. I guess they help with promotion and making actual records though (record labels, that is).
Bandcamp has become a great platform for selling music much like iTunes, but much more independent. Pretty sure with iTunes you have to get "approved" or something. I've never bothered with it. It's easier for small indie labels to use bandcamp to distribute merch, music, records, etc. You can do that all from bandcamp fairly easily now.
Yeah band camp is the future for sure. But when labels use it, it makes it seem like the necessity of having a label is going away. It seems like the only real reason to have one is for the connections they can give you -- like getting reviewed by pitchfork. But even mass promotion can be accomplished through the internet.
Anyway this band is great.
Bump. Still got this baby. Make music with micro chips!

They got on pitchfork by being on a record label, music journalism is a gated community yo
They use the Pitchfork to keep out us rabble.

Do you guys need a studio to record this type of music? Do you play instruments? What would the benefit be off recording this in a studio instead of using a PC? Wouldn't it all be going through cables anyway?

???
If it's a good album, it should be appreciable without understanding it within the context of the scene.

You understood my ramblings!
Sometimes I think being jaded makes me enjoy this music LESS. I envy naive album reviewers.
I have a Mssiah cartridge I bought a few years ago,i don't really use it that much, but it's in good working order. Fifty bucks? Let's say +5$ shipping. Way cheaper than ordering from 8 bit ventures. Probably best to be in the US.
I say just let people take what they want from this album. If Crystal Castles is their best reference point, that's okay. It shouldn't have to be explained anyway.

Yeah that sounds like a lot of work! Plus headaches from trying to support every single quirky song.

Damn, that's a pickle. It seems like Apple used to allow apps that would let you download full roms from the web, for music purposes. I guess they stopped looking the other way on that. That sucks, Apple should lighten up a LOT on emulation. The only other workaround I can think of is Cydia.
Yessss! Chipsters! Thanks for posting it.
