I'm apparently in the minority but I think sunvox is great ui wise. You just have to have something with directional buttons for navigating the menus and tracks. Then you have a touchscreen for the onscreen keyboard, drawing waveforms, and arranging modules.

I'm digging this. Nice work.
and I'd never heard of the mfb 522 so thanks for the google food.

I absolutely love using sunvox on my android jxd s5300 (chinese psp knockoff) as the dpad and buttons make for a more enjoyable experience than tracking on my iphone (that and the fact that it's a game console seem to make it feel a little more chipmusic) so I accept the limitation.
Man! That's a great value. Shoot... If I'd known about this thing I'd not have gotten my cheap little budget 4.3 inch tablet...
It'd be perfect for tracking LSDJ when I'm not wearing my so-baggy-Gameboy-fits-in-pocket jeans.
yeah, I thought about starting a thread about these as they're cheaper than dingoos and run sunvox and milky out of the box.
also, the s602 is cool (and lighter and cheaper and even smaller) but the screen is resistive. however, it works quite well with a ds stylus.

thanks boomlinde,
more to build but worth it to control tiny things with other tiny things.
glad I have an alias as my electronics teacher would be rolling his eyes. I'm out of practice.

i use the noise channel, tried with the pulse but it wasnt as solid. would prefer to lose a pulse channel over the noise.
sorry about the off topic post but...
I got a monotribe last night just to be able to test out all the cool stuff that can be done. that new upgrade to allow cv/gate through an iphone trrs jack was too good to pass up. a headphone jack is right around 5volts so It's just a matter of building a max patch to turn midi to cv. Long story short keyboard control with no mods to the unit. if I'm right, I can save those samples to sunvox and I can control the thing from an android console with no mods to the unit.

Re: Korg Volca series, 150$ each (68 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
the monotribe syncs with 5volt pulses so It's probably doable with just an audio recording and a mixer. a little time to deconstruct the wave form and I'm pretty confident you could just generate a sync signal in time with whatever you were doing.

Re: Korg Volca series, 150$ each (68 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
what interest me is trying to record the sync signal (it's a mono 1/8 inch jack) and adjust the speed in a tracker/daw and see what you could push them to do.
edit: I think this would allow you to sync it midi style, basspuddle. Just use an audio track for sync like we used to do on old tape machines. If it's some kind of pulse you could single cycle it and lock it down to the daw or reverse engineer the pulse and generate it at midi time.

Yeah, that Drum Machine is like Korg went into my brain and pulled out exactly what I've been wanting to make for the last couple of years.

Re: Possible New Rule: Music Section- number of songs limitation (55 replies, posted in Rules & Announcements)
As music is very subjective I worry about 3rd party selection. I think letting the artist decide their best tracks is probably the most sensible option. 5 is very generous. I think the 3 best would cover it.
I have no music on here precisely BECAUSE I want to make sure the stuff I put up is of quality. I mean look at the list of users. But maybe I'm overly critical.

yo imma let you finish, but Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force was the greatest electro release of all time. Of all time.
if it's sampled from Numbers and TEE wouldn't that mean that 2 kraftwerk tracks add up to almost 3/4 of the greatest electro track of all time?? That doesn't seem right. I'll have to check my math...hold on...carry the 2.... I came up with kraftwerk=win.
thanks xylo for mentioning that Zalza disk I didn't know about that.
Also, make sure xyce is on the essential list somewhere.

I'm there a lot as my parents still live there (Hoover) and my girlfriend's family lives there as well (Mobile). I moved to Nashville, TN for work (as I graduated with a music engineering degree now I'm a graphic designer ...go figure).

Re: What was your very first computer / game console ever? And when? (81 replies, posted in General Discussion)
my first was a c64 when my father's company upgraded to macs in the late 80s. I was running learning games like wiz-type and stuff for fun like trek64 and fast eddy. the toy store in the mall had a small box of video games back then (there wasn't much of a selection, this was Alabama after all)
I had a basic programming book when I was around 10 (I speak basic to my commodore 64. Blue cover white type) and I copied the sample code...I remember how happy I was to see a bouncing ball ricochet about 4 times around the screen and then disappear. It took all day and I remember a lot of ",8,1". I borrowed another book from the library that showed how to build a portable robot but it involved destroying a ribbon cable and my parents wouldn't let me.

definitely try sunvox before shelling out the cash for live. I find live terribly uncomfortable.
also renoise is fun and you can get comfortable with it in the free version.
