My friend recently built me an arduinoboy, and after a bunch of dicking around we got it to work with LSDJ, both in master and slave modes. However when I flash mGB to my cart I can't get any notes to trigger except occasionally when unplugging the cable. Instead of notes I hear these brief pops when a note on, note off message is sent. If I set my DAW to send clock info I hear an ungodly screeching.

At first I thought I was just having a hard time finding the correct mode, so I modified the code so that there is only one mode, which is mGB setup. This proved fruitless, and I still just heard pops.


I don't think it's an issue with the arduinoboy's wiring as clock and Midi notes are sent on the same channel.

Anyone have a similar problem, or have any ideas how to fix this?

Is this with the latest ghetto? There used to be a bug like this but it was fixed in the past.


Unless the latest was almost a year ago then no, I'll give that a try

I'm trying to use piggy's midi program change command with an analog synth of mine, and when piggy sends the command the synth responds instantaneously, but immediately reverts back to the previous patch, causing a loud pop in audio. I was wondering if this was a known issue, or if anyone has any ideas of a solution?

midi cc commands work fine, and whatever value is sent stays until I send another cc command

I think boaconstructor did a pretty good job of summing up the scene and the place, or at least to the extent at which I understand it from being an hour's drive south. There's pretty much always something going on it seems

At the moment it's all pretty up in the air as to where I'll be. I'm visiting a friend who studies at the University of Leicester, though we probably won't be in Leicester all that much. We have a few friends that we can stay with in London, The Hague, and in Paris, but we are also open to trekking to pretty much anywhere.

I'm going to be in Western Europe for the latter part of December- early January and was wondering if there were any chip events happening around this time, I looked at the chipmusic around the world calendar, but alas the cupboard was bare. I'd also like any locals' suggestions of things to do in Europe around christmas time.

I think your message got lost : /

He edited your original post title so that it was more clear.

I doubt that a more clear version of this particular schematic exists, but I bet you could find a similar mod that has a better drawn schematic

This is fantastic, keep up the great work!

You can hear a definite progression in your LSDJ skills as the album progresses, great work, keep it up!

I have my stuff down to a single mono channel because I run it through an analog filter, not because of any pretension, but because that's what I have in the way of external effects at the moment.

Did you take this to the synth petting zoo in Seattle?

i could just as easily open up audiotool and have MIDI capability, better instrumentation, more control and a familiar interface.

there's your brutal, honest feedback.

I'm going to have to agree with this. You've made a great looking product that's good for prototyping songs, however adding this to my DAW workflow would frankly only convolute it as I'm used to starting my songs in the DAW I'm going to finish them in.

After playing around with this I can't help but think this would be a better mobile app, seeing as when I'm on the bus or something is when I'd be more likely to not be able to compose in my DAW, but might still like to do something musical. This would be really helpful if it could export files in a format a DAW could use from a mobile device.

It would also be great if there was some kind of piano roll I could look at to change misplayed notes or something.

tl;dr It looks and works great, but even then I don't have much use for it.

I hope this feedback is useful

My first EP was 8 months of dicking around, then 2 weeks of concentrated effort to peice together all the bits and peices. My current EP has taken almost a year of starting and stopping again. I have a huge problem with doubting myself, I'll write some bars of something I like, then not like anything I write to go with it

That was awesome, I personally would've liked to see a little more diversity in terms of color and effects, but that was really cool. Depending on how you did it you could also trying syncing it to midi to make the timing tighter

I'm in Encinitas part of the year (760) in between orange county and san diego
