Wow, I had an MT-32 back in the day.

There were some gremlins with the way its DAC worked, but I'm not sure if that wold be your problem. See:

It'll probably take another 20 years before Shields is happy to release anything, and maybe nearly bankrupting another label in the process. smile

Coincidentally, I'm wearing a MBV top as I type this.

Brilliant, brilliant album and absolutely one of a kind. I love the way motifs crop up again and again throughout the album. It just sounds like a complete piece of music rather than a collection of songs, especially with all the segues.

In my all-time top 10 for sure.

2x Bleep Bloop Carts (1 Loaded with a Legit copy of LSDJ - Licensed smile and 1 loaded with mGB)

I may have this wrong, but aren't LSDJ licenses non-transferable and granted per user, not per cart? eg. Anyone who uses LSDJ must buy their own license.

I'm on holiday and away from the studio so can't hear these and haven't got time to read, but it sounds like you may have some sort of phase problem. There's an easy way to check this - record your tune into the computer and save it as a mono file. Then convert it to MP3 and see if the artifacts have gone away.

If that's where the bugger lies, then I can advise you further when I get back!

This too.

Eh? I thought the two-foot-drop technique was the orthodox way to turn on LSDJ's randomize mode.

On the midiBOX forum someone had "fixed" this by installing a LTC1799 pitch mod.
I have done that now, and can tune the middle C correct, but I'm still not sure that this will work perfect over the scale and over time.

You needn't worry about it not scaling the pitch correctly. As long as you can tune to a base frequency, then everything else will come out in tune. Note though, that non-pitched sounds (typically noise channel) will be shifted as well.

Provided you use something like a precision cermet trimmer pot to set the LTC, then it should hold the pitch fine once set.

Does someone have some experience on this? or some more insight on the problem?

I haven't actually done what I've described here, but the theory stands.

Finding the right client software is a bit of a chore. Some are terrible, with dismal frame rates, while other softwares on the same hardware will look great.

I always got good results with U-Broadcast, but I haven't used it in the last couple of years.

Thanks for the advice guys!

You could try removing the board from the cart and cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser.

With version 1.1.1 at least, it'll work on a NES from any region without mods. In addition to this, the tuning between PAL and NTSC can be selected in the software.

Can you, erm, elaborate on your eloquent words a little, CP?

Only I can't see anything incorrect or wrong with what SD said.
