I think it's hard for youngun's like myself to properly appreciate the technical wizardry behind these because we all have our heads in our game dude's and our lsdj's and what have you.

More specifically, the IDM kinda thing (for lack of a better expression) isn't everyone's cup of joe, y'know? Spider is 100% my jam though, so I think the rest of the tracks will grow on me.

It's doing that for me as well… also, I don't think A is a fourth—I only a half-step bend (it flats whatever note you are playing).

Which is funny, because on a guitar you can only bend sharp—to bend flat, you have to play a pre-bent string and release the bend.

Then again, I'm pretty sure MuddyGB is basically a game boy harmonica program. I forget how bending works on harmonicas…

U r right about the half step. I dunno what I was thinking of.

But the B does go up a fourth. It's weird. maybe they never finished implementing that. It's a ashame, because I'd love to be able to up bend.

While I'm here, I may as well ask... the latency isn't so bad on an actual gameboy, right?

Is the B-button supposed to BEND the pitch up? In BGB, If I hold down a note, then press A, it does a proper bend down to a fourth, but with the B button, I have to hold B, THEN tap the note for it to PLAY a note a fourth higher. If I hold down the note first, the b button does nothing. I can't make it bend up.

Is this normal?

My lyrics are deep and complex, yes.

Glad you guys have enjoyed it.  I might sound "choir boy" because I was in choir for a while, though I've been out of practice and forgot a lot of technique.

You can always tell... wink

Man... "Space Boyfriend" took me BACK to the 90's. My goodness! big_smile It's like flying through space dodging stars, collecting gold and shooting space pigs!

My goodness. My goodness ;'')

Can't help. I am serious man.

Still, it was fun writing. I can't wait to see who got it. Will the winner's email be published?

The voice samples weren't intrusive at all. Gold stuff.

hey whoa hey
it's really not like that
at least it doesn't seem that way to me
maybe i'm not reading into it enough, haha.

You are correct, sir. It's not like that at all.

I see "programming" in the credits in CD covers all the time in regards to the things I mentioned in that post, and I doubt they're talking about speaking machine language, so I figured that was a common term used in the world of programmed music and sound design regardless of if it's on a Gameboy or a music box. Guess I was wrong. Those stupid credits writers... more like wrongers... >={

This article wasn't written for us.

Good point.

Edit:

Oh shush, you. I was just kidding.

LOL, oops. fwiw, that came off much harsher than was intended. My expression was more "confused puppy head tilt" than "monocled prig upturned nose"

The majority of the time on my sav is from my leaving LSDJ open on my computer when I get interrupted from my making to go do something else, or listening to it over and over with my wireless headphones while doing chores and stuff, so it doesn't really mean anything.

I'm sure I won't have that luxury when I have to worry about batteries dying and stuff.

song modules and modular music are way different

Ah, Ok. Thanks.

I love song module based music. heart

This is considered modular music, right?

I love modular music... heart

tends to focus on “the ‘gee whiz’ factor of the hardware

If true

The latter is a showcase for Therrien’s Game Boy programming

Article (and James) implies focusing on hardware gimmick is bad. Focuses on hardware gimmick anyway.

Coding like a sir.

Would you prefer he said drum machine programming? Or midi sequencer programming? Or keyboard programming? Edit: Or guitar

I just took it to mean that that track focused on the more technical side of manipulating the medium and pushing the hardware's limits. Maybe I'm not reading enough into this...

It was all about comparing the chip stuff to "real" stuff.

That's a step forward, right?

This is cool. And in a national publication too. Can't wait to see the clippings.

I loled when they said "power up". Good for you man.

I was curious to see if the guitar forums I sometimes visit (with technical questions) have threads about how to play The Blues...

First page on Google was  a lot of howto pages but no forums.

chunter wrote:

"How to drop the bass" didn't have any lesson pages at all,

Hmmm... Is there a connection I wonder

Some forums don't come up in Google searches. The few genre specific guitar forums I go to have threads on how to do this or that pop up every so often.

But I think live performance instruments lend themselves more easily to being able to create a mood on the fly than compositional instruments like trackers, where you have to stop and write it down, which could break your train of thought.

LOL at actually trying to not talk about hedgehogs. Hmmm... don't hedgehogs often roll into a ball and drop down an incline in order to escape predators? I wonder if there really is a connection...

Thanks! These don't use RAM, right? So they can go on the other side of a 2 page ems cart, right? (now I just need a cart)

hrm... do people even still use winzip?
