Nobody in this thread has heard of a controller? The Nexus 7 can easily use either a bluetooth or USB controller and makes a great platform for working on tunes. Sure, it'll sound a bit different than a real Game Boy but you can either compose around that and adjust to the sonic qualities of the emulation or simply keep it in mind while you work on the composition if you plan on moving it over to a cartridge eventually. Now that we've got so many drag and drop-based carts and even an Android cartridge flasher for EMS carts you can easily transfer songs back and forth.

I find it to be very hit or miss in terms of Android compatibility via PPSSPP. None of my devices work, even with the settings provided by BLEO.

Perhaps it's a particular version of the PPSSPP apk that's working for BLEO but using the latest version and using the settings provided (and many, many other various configurations) I can't get it working on my Nexus 5, Nexus 9 or Nvidia Shield portable.

As a brief description; tables are used to automate/animate parameter changes and/or to combine various parameter automations/animations.

Speaking in a general sense there are three types of commands:

  • Commands that set a parameter to a particular value - FLTR, for example, immediately sets your cutoff & resonance to the values you supply.

  • Commands that animate a particular parameter - FCUT or FRES, for example, will slide the cutoff & resonance (respectively) the the values provided at the speed you provided.

  • Commands that assist in sequencing your notes or your tables - HOP, for example, can be used to jump to a specific location in the next phrase or jump to a specific location within a table.

These commands can be used on the phrase screen, of course, but often times you'll want a series of these commands to occur in a specific order at a specific speed and tables can be used to make this happen.

I read the entire post. You've got a wordpress website and need to playback audio. My solution seems to fulfill all your requirements. You can grab a free, easy-to-use plugin (I recommend an HTML5 player) that'll allow you to play back any number of audio files that you can host in the same manner as your wordpress site.

Perhaps you misunderstood my solution?

But the Wordpress site is hosted by Wordpress (free account) and it doesn't host any audio filetypes. I could pay for premium then have unlimited hosting with nifty html player and all that, but I'm trying to be cheap because it's winter and my handjob-in-the-alley business is running a bit slow these days. That's why I was asking for hosting, and not specifically just an HTML player. I just need a place to dump files, but it has to allow streaming, something that a lot of hosts don't seem to offer for free sad

I've think I've seen people use Dropbox for this type of thing as I believe it allows you to direct link to a resource. Google Drive won't do it natively but you can use a tool like this to generate direct links to pop into an HTML5 player: https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/

Wild guess here.. but I'm 90% sure you work in software development. Only a programmer would read half the available information before offering a solution that doesn't apply with a sentence that starts with "why not just..."

Bandcamp works just like you've described. They have embeddable players, you can prohibit downloading, no "radio play", and no limit to how much audio.

Doesn't it put you into the rotation of bands to discover though? Or can you opt of of that? I'll go take a look, it might be the simplest solution of all.

Why not stream them directly via your website? There are plenty of great HTML5 music playback templates.

Hello. Does lgpt run on raspberry pi 2 ?

The architecture for RP2 is the same as the original. It's got more RAM and a a much improved CPU, so it'll be great for LGPT!

I've actually got a Beaglebone Black for both LGPT and visuals, Given its amazing IO it's a great option if you want to do some cool MIDI synced lights or mechatronics or for an inexpensive setup (has 4GB of eMMC, so no need for an SD card). The new Raspi is far more powerful but I've never been able to really push a Raspi 1 or BBB.

I don't know about silver or gold sharpie, but clear coating sharpie can go very wrong.

I've heard you can get away with it by doing extremely fine coats and working up to thicker coats, but can't vouch for this.

I can confirm this works but it requires a lot of finesse. Obviously, ensure the sharpie is totally dry and make sure your first 3-4 'coats' of clear coat are very, very light and dry sufficiently between layers.

Yeah, there are a couple voices being done by the Game Boy but it's mostly the Volcas. The only thing here to keep in mind is that LSDJ's control over MIDI CCs is rather limited and so you'll have to be more involved in knob twisting and unable to really push the Volcas to weird places.

With more powerful external sequencing - Renoise, in my setup - you can do some really intense things with fast MIDI CC use.

just popping by to say that jam is great.

I'm not going to lie, I went on for another 20 minutes. Jamming is always super fun with a setup like this. To the OP and anyone else, I highly recommend trying something like this if you're a chiptune/tracker person looking to get into some knob and keyboard action. It's the best of both worlds.

Yeah, it'll require external hardware to do but it works really well, skip ahead to the 1 minute mark in this video for an example of all three volcas sequenced by a single Game Boy running LSDJ:

Note: some of the internal Game Boy Channels are also used at points for layered affects and additional voices.
