Here's a video tutorial on Live Mode I did for the LSDJguides YouTube channel. It goes over all the basics and answers what you're asking. Basically you're just holding Select, tap B once and moving the cursor to which chains you want to trigger.

Let's all agree that the Gameboy should have featured at least 6 noise channels.

I thought your post was a joke until I used the power of Google Image search.

Interesting, wonder why Toyota had a Gameboy?
Found this earlier today. I like that red shell but not so much into Astro Boy.

Re: LSDJ Advanced Tricks (27 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Advanced tutorials? Maybe I'll cook something up over the weekend for LSDJguides. But for now I'll say:
- Tables are your best friend. Do extensive sound design don't settle for generic square waves. Just manipulate different things, add wild pitch commands at the end of your tables to add subtle little bleeps and bloops.
- Like SketchMan3 and Saskrotch said, don't dedicate one channel to one thing. Depending on what sound you're trying to achieve you may have to but there are work arounds.
- Get comfortable with using 'E'nvelope commands. If you're mixing different instruments in the same channel you'll want some things to continue to ring out so start experimenting.
- Noise channel doesn't have to be strictly percussion instruments. Experiment with it and throw in some crazy sounds in place of or between your percussion instruments for some nice variation.
I had more but I'm running out of time. Good luck.

Re: 2 x LSDJ vs 1 x LSDJ (134 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
To be honest I think adding another Gameboy kind of defeats the purpose of using a Gameboy to create chip music. I enjoy the limitation of the 4 channels and any time I've ever experimented with using 2xLSDJ I feel like everything I add is forced. Purist sentiment aside I feel like if I were to ever want more channels for LSDJ I'd be better off just sampling everything into Renoise.
I don't know how valid my opinion is though, I'm in the process of abandoning LSDJ altogether for different trackers.

I shoulda said something, but its SUPER hard to get the artist/track title correct when all i get is like, the title of a song as a filename. next time, it'd be cool if everyone made it easier by saying something like "HALLOWEEN COMPO_ARTIST NAME_TRACKTITLE.WAV"
I'm guilty. I think I was too fixated on explaining my submission.
Oh by the way everyone, I wrote my song using only one note.

Most of the songs I've written in the past two years won't even run on a DMG, they crash pretty early on.

I don't know that anyone is shouting "FAKEBIT!" these days. Everyone I've ever talked to in the chip community has never said anything negative about people who choose modern DAWs over chip trackers. EDIT: (forgot to add this) If you're making the music you want to make then fuck what anyone else thinks.
A very chill track, I like it.

Make the drums a bit stronger and I think you have a great track here. I didn't notice any repetitiveness at all and if I did it wasn't annoyingly repetitive it all fit very nicely.
