Great stuff, like the idea.
I suggest you to not mix this two different block :
- the logic of the sequencer
- the ay38910
It could allow you to create a generic hardware chip sequencer. With encoder with click it will be definitely a great stuff.
How much it cost now ?

I am currently looking for this kinf of stuff : http://www.e-licktronic.com/fr/

I really love this emulator.
But I have never try to transfer the data ( save file )  from the emulator to the real hardware.
I know it put a savefile somewhere, but i don't know if it will work...

Install the really old stable version.
And try to launch it from the "old" menu, you know the ugly one with orange and yellow color.

First part compile the RtAudio.
Second part compile the whole program.
Use the debian makefile as described in the REAME.md.
And git tag/checkout a previous tag if the last one doesn't work on osx.

Hi nonfinite,

I have never try to build it for mac osx.
But I use sdl 1.2 and rtaudio and those lib support it.
The error displayed come from the lack of alsa on osx.
Osx use something like coreaudio.

So you should change the : -D__LINUX_ALSA__ with
-DMACOSX_CORE for the RtAudio, so you just have to modify this and continue to use the debian kind of makefile, like you do.
Then you will need the header file and "lib" for sdl 1.2 :
https://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
Put it on the directory you are using, I can't tell you the good path of this but you will have to play a bit to help the complier and linker to find the .h and the lib file.

Rtaudio doc is here :
https://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtaudio/
The -Dsomestuff is described on RtAudio.h or cpp

Tell me if it works, it should but it is not really easy if you don't use a compiler every day.

@pselodux me too, I love their stuff, it's really well made and it sound fine. Love my machinedrum.

@zoikkis I have a machinedrum sps1, and this weekend I will buy a A4 smile Yes this weekend I should be owner of one !!! And if I lose it on my auction, I will buy one new wink

Elektron gear are the best mix of sequencer and sound quality, but it cost a lot. Anyway, now I will bought this kind of stuff, because it's fun and I like their sequencer and sound.
I'm happy to see an Elektron owner and Elektron fan here too, and I will be happy to share update on picoloop with you smile

@ Dolby-z For the megadrive "nanoloop" kind of sequencer, I think there could be a way to do something. The only way I see it, is like the novation circuit do the job : Patch and Macro.
For me it's the only realastic way because of 4 enveloppe and really too much parameter for an interface to play it easily, yes FM contain lot of parameters...
And there is geek on this forum, but too much parametrr is sometime boring, you need the computer to help you sole way to do the good job.

Nanoloop kind of sequencer is about :
- fewest knob but most interesting one ;
- the biggest possibily in the sound range and diversity ;

There is a lot of knob on megadrive and there is ton of patch. Si if you select for example 512 good patch and sort it, and add good macro for each one to play to the most interesting parameter of each patch, there is a real possibility I think.
I say this but I don't say there should not be a way to upload new patch, but... a macro way to control them.
There is few parameter on lsdj and megadrive is too much....
Megadrive can sound really good, just play the "sound title theme of street of rage 2" and you will be convince that patch and macro could do one of the best retro FM sequencer out there....

But lots of works....

A big thanks to you zoikkis !

In the last six month I had only time to work on it for the last month. I continue the developpement because I want to plug it to my gears : Elektron stuff, volca and nanoloop gba sp.
And yes, I will continue the dev and submit "release" here when things work.
The graphic bug you see is still the same on my dev box, i have not made the fix yet... Because I use the apps on Linux and Windows and it run with 640x480 instead of 320x240 ( a really stupid bug ).

The last release you use was well tested, and I had no crash on it, and no big bug. So keep it because for me it is the "stable" release. And sorry for this negative feel on the graphic...

Things that you can not test today ( yes teaser ) is a basic midi implementation. And full midi in, midi out is my goal today, with support for 16,32,64,128 step per track to have the possibily to make bigger track.
There is now a real drum synth which is powered by the MDA. It sound really good.

At the end this project will have the look and feel of an Elektron gears on a PC ( with midi knob and button ). It will keep the nanoloop look and feel and shortcut but with midi knob smile
It is my current goal with this project now.
I will keep psp, and try android too.

I will redo a big thanks to you, this kind of message is really important for me smile

Hi Maz,

For me there is difference between cv, gate and sync signal. Bit i'm not an expert at all in this area.

From wikipedia
CV (Control Voltage) indicates which note (event) to play: a different voltage for each key pressed; those voltages are typically connected to one or more oscillators, thus producing the different pitches required. Note that such a method implies that the synthesizer is monophonic. CV can also control parameters such as rate, depth or duration of a control modules.

Gate (sometimes called Trigger) indicates when a note should start, a pulse that is used to trigger an event, typically an ADSR envelope. In the case of triggering a drum machine, a clock signal or LFO square wave could be employed to signal the next beat (or rest).

And from me.
Signal is a clock sent, each pulse will increment a counter and when the counter overflow it will trig the next step in the sequencer. Don't know how many pulse are needed...

So there is a real difference between each. But yes if nanoloop can sync, lsdj "may" be able to do.

I'd like to have the speed divider by track you know /2 /4 /8, because you can loop on one pattern or four pattern, and there is a gap between the gb/ios feature.

Midi is really important for the android version, don't kno if it works on IOS, but sync is important between this two world.

What could be nice is a link between the gb/gba and ios/android version. For example, bank download/upload without the pc.

For me maybe more synth engine, gb and gba version, but there is other stuff which are important.
Example : a look and feel with button like the gb/gba version. I like, the ios/android sound, but I don't like the look and feel of ios/android. There is cool handled with button and dpad on android now.

The UI of nanoloop 1.x, 2.x is just perfect, it is art.

Great smile my cart is not broken.
This cart, is a backup cart, so it is not valuable as data.
I have try START+SELECT and I have the sequencer running, but with no sound :<
I think, I have done a lot of other try and I have damaged the "sound", regenerating the wavetable with A+B+L+R... and stop which is bad...

So I will launch 2.7.9 stuff tomorow and I will see what is happening, I will let you know on this thread.
Thanks a lot Oliver, and if I you have a walkthrough to have a clean 2.7.9, just tell me on this thread.

Regards,

Johann

Hi Oliver,

I have two nanoloop 2.5 and one nanoloop 2.3.
I had success flashing two card, the 2.3 and the 2.5.
One of the 2.5 cart is able to be updated but when I boot it, it is frozen on :


===================================
                  nanoloop
                  v.2.7.9
                                                     2
====================================

The number "2" on the right, let me think it is a software/hardware issue, maybe a bad flash or something.
Just before the "2" number, there is a "II", it seem to be a Pause, icon.
What can you tell me about this issue, could I fix it myself ?

Regards,

Johann

PS : I have now try to downgrade to 2.7.6, then to 2.6.0.
Same issue, the number "2", is written on the right of the screen, so I think, this cart is maybe broken.

Great job Oliver, note value was really important for me, but volca synchro was the most important smile
Thanks for this great soft.
