i tried with a different version- still same prob! i haven't tried lgpt with other software.. it seems to crash whenever i try hmm

ALSO i found that the delay between lsdj and lgpt is exactly 4 ticks: if i set every step on lsdj to command D04 they will synchronize perfectly! i guess if worst came to worst i could just set every instrument to a table with D04 commands and have them work.. strange though!

Couldn't you just add a pickup bar of only 4 ticks?

Those are all songs he wrote after he stopped using an Amiga. I think they illustrate the point that Amigas rule.

I can't say I'm the hugest fan of Calvin Harris, but his song Acceptable in the 80s is decently fun and it's super cool to see that a big successful album can still be produced entirely on an Amiga.

He used an Amiga 1200 running OctaMED and got many of his samples from Korg M5 presets.

basspuddle and maniac- thanks for the comments!
yes, i realized after i ordered the nl device that teensy might have been a better option.. thanks for the review! i might go ahead and order a teensy board, unless anyone else has any input?

There are two NL devices, the newer one which supports MIDI and SYNC modes works great with mGB and LSDJ. The setup is pretty damn easy and works with all the Windows MIDI software I've tried it with (Renoise, Live 7 and some homebrew stuff).

In my case I've not noticed any sort of latency issues, though. Perhaps it's the particular LGPT module you're using? Does LGPT send MIDI correctly to other software and devices?

Hey, I'm sorry that this post is going to be insanely unhelpful but I'm pretty sure I've seen a video in which someone uses a modern midi controller to trigger samples on their Amiga but I can't find the video anywhere and I'm not sure what the implementation was in that case.

At least it's possible but I'm not sure if that was a totally hacked together custom implementation or a simple piece of software.

Yeah, since the initial goal was accurate playback there is a very high degree of accuracy. Even replicating glitches and weird behaviours present in the original Amiga version.

Could the problem be the hard drive? PSU? Floppy drive? Bad chips? Virus?

I think we can rule out a virus. ;P

Have you tried copying AHX to the HDD? If the floppy drive is unstable, that might help. But I'm not confident that's the real problem, though.

Does it crash at exactly the same point every time?

A few months back I discovered a really neat Amiga Protracker MOD player called Protracker win32. The module player was designed to look and function exactly like the original Protracker and included a very accurate playback routine and the nostalgic look and feel of the real software was sort of neat.

I was amazed when I realized a lot of the editing features were functional. However, since it was aimed to be mainly a playback tool there was no save function. As a result I sort of put it aside.

However, very recently I decided to email Olav Sørensen, the author of the software, to let him know that there are probably lots of people who'd love to be able to use the save function and almost immediately he completes and uploads a build that features save functionality! Now, this project isn't complete. The save/load sample routine is still not implemented, so for now this is a tool mostly for Amiga/Protracker users who wish to work on projects they already created but I can confirm the following very promising things:

-Playback routines are very good and accurate!
-Emulation of Paula filters!
-Identical feel to Protracker!
-Modules saved/edited with PT32 work great on Amiga!
-Open source, easy to compile for Linux (probably OS X, too).!

It's a command line program. The readme explains how to use it, but you'll need to open your command prompt and run the program from there with the correct arguments.

For example, to send a file you'd use the command:

nlmidi04 -send filename

My initial point of confusion came from the genre name.
Skwee was known primarily for using stock presets from 80s digital keyboards.

Personally, I don't see how this genre is going to result in a cohesive sound/style, when the pool of sounds being used is massively heterogeneous and all types of processing are allowed.. (and THEN we're supposed to forcememe LSDJ on top of it?) Going on name alone, I was imagining a genre restricted to yamaha portasound presets.

Perhaps I had a bit of a knee jerk reaction, like when 'chillwave' kids stopped slowing down 80's new wave and moved on to mining new jack swing for source, thus resulting in the necessary 'vaporwave' rebranding.

...at least they had better taste in clip art, though.

I'd like to point out that this is mostly for kicks and giggles. It's a creative challenge, too. Just something to get people making stuff outside their comfort zone and having a laugh or two along the way.

I don't actually have dreads.

uh, i think you guys might want to google 'skwee'

"Skweee is a musical style, with origin in Sweden and Finland. Skweee combines simple synth/chiptune leads and basslines with funk, R&B or soul-like rhythms, overall rendering a stripped-down funky sound"

I don't see even a single point of similarity.

Skweee uses simple synthesizers.
Stockwave uses samples from freepublicmusic.com.

Skweee is based on funk, R&B and/or soul.
Stockwave is based on light jazz and easy listening.

Skweee is from Sweden and Finland.
Stockwave is from committees worldwide.

i spent 42 minutes on something and it follows the rules of the compo but i don't think it sounds stock enough, how can i make it more stock? is fakestock frowned upon?

What's the BPM? Make sure it's exactly 120 or 125. Ensure that you don't use more than 2-3 different sounds, since that might make it a bit too interesting. Write it to be about a minute and a half and then just have it play through twice before fading out.

He threw in both audio and visual watermarks throughout, I think that's pretty corporate.

radOS jumps immediately on whatever trend may or may not exist and reinvents himself based entirely on what will sell product placement. He's as corporate as it gets.

Just heard that radOS is involved in this! Amazing! That guy was a scoobycore pioneer, I can't believe he's so trendy. Able to keep up with these cutting edge fictional genres!
