Didn't Pixelh8 release the full version of music tech? I remember seeing a thing about it on TCTD, but the link was dead.

Somebody did their homework! This article is one of the best I've read on chip music... informative, humble, and fun to read. Well done, Svetlana!

Nah, she mostly copypasta'd from my emails, which were admittedly really long and unnecessarily in-depth.

As for things that would be interesting to see at any live event, streamed or not,  It'd be cool to see some kind of tracker shed-session type thing in which you'd have 2 or more artists synced to a machine with a click track (or bassline or drum beat), and they'd go around the room taking turns showing off their impromptu/deaf tracking/tabling/composing/EQing/etc. skills for 2-4 bars each. Since composing is a bit different than playing a live instrument. Kind of like a freestyle battle, they'd get a couple of bars to do the sequencing equivalent of "Oh! yeah, uh huh, Ungh, alright, alright, I got dis" that freestylers use while their thinking of what to say next, lol.

And then at the end everybody triggers their phrases at the same time for a fun chaotic mess.

Kind of irrelevant to the topic, I know, and it relies on having the artists in the same venue together, but still, it could be fun.

yesyesohgodyes and I sometimes go chipbusking and we create tracks in live mode from scratch on the fly in LSDj with two gameboys and a link cable. We take turns switching off per song on who's running Master and Slave sync. It's a good system.

it's an idea by other people, and it's actually an addition for lsdj, but I want to bump the idea.

Just lsdj but with a function to create a instrument that can't change pitch.
Just for TSP reasons in the phrase screen, considering kickdrums and bassline.

Using sweep instead of the P command for kicks doesn't seem to be AS bad with TSP. It's still noticeable, but...

I think it's great, although after a little while I'm bored of watching artists play with knobs.
It'd be really great to incorporate some actual performance along with the chip, for example muting one of your pulse channels and grabbing a real keyboard instead to play along with.
That's why non-chip or non-dj shows are exiting because you're witnessing a lot of skill and muscle-memory, not to mention the potential for huge failure.

But I write my LSDj stuff in a way in which it demands consistent triggering or it loops over and fucks up everything!

(and the LSDj ps/2 keyboard is where it's at)

I mean the main difference is that no one says nigga out of hatred.

That's kind of implied in what I said. It's used just for casual conversation. I don't think anyone actually says "nigger" anymore unless they're trying to be racist. Or they're Michael Richards and not funny.

it's 2012 you guys, you need to know that nigga and nigger are two way different things.
either way there's like... maybe 3 black people here? so basically no reason for anyone to use either version.

Finally someone in this thread addressed that. "Nigga" is used by some of the black community as a means of re-appropriation of the word, "nigger". The idea is that if the people it was used against start using it themselves, and as a casual word at that, it will return some power to black Americans while taking away some power from the word. That's also the reason it's not really okay for other people to say, "nigga" in casual conversation.

Also, I'd love anything that can make super destroyed glitch sounding stuff on the fly. If you listen to the last half of this song: http://wizwars.bandcamp.com/track/physical-memory-dump, I'm doing all that shit live in LSDJ by fucking with the sync command to make notes stick and get all glitched out...it was fun to do but I'd love a piece of software that outputs stuff that glitchy, and the user could fuck around with various settings and parameters. I'd use that so fucking much.


A glitch-producer that utilizes all 4 channels would be awesome. THAT would be cool in muddyGB form. Instead of setting the scale/waveform, you could set the channels being used or the vibrato rates or something.
