  there are many better and easier options for making music, so if you don't see the reason for people playing games on a game boy that was designed for playing games, how can it make any sense to you to use it for music?

a) i dont use a game boy that often in my music anymore
b) it always was more that i like the specific sound characteristics of chip hardware, not the fact that it was a game boy/NES/c64 really... and i use plenty of other "better" gear alongside chip stuff

what im saying is that i dont see the point in adding a backlight to a dmg/gbc/pocket when there are other options to play those exact games on that already have a backlight (or like i mentioned, use a NUBY/wormlight/other existing lights).. as far as other mods you'd do, i've never been big on purely cosmetic mods and i cant really see a good reason to do other functional mods to a game boy just to play games on it

who the fuck uses a game genie?

(shrug) so you want to play game boy games and backlight a dmg instead of buying a gba sp? doesn't really make a ton of sense to me either

I typically play my games on the original hardware they were designed for.  I could play my game boy games on an sp or super game boy or emulator, but, i know for me and many others, that lacks some of the appeal.  Some of these game boys and consoles have been with us for decades, and are like old friends, so why not improve them?

there is value to both sides.

wel if you really wanted to be authentic, you should just use a NUBY light
and its not like i was even suggesting emulators (which are totally fine), its gba sp

(shrug) so you want to play game boy games and backlight a dmg instead of buying a gba sp? doesn't really make a ton of sense to me either

if you aren't using all 16 steps of a particular channel, you can set that channel to play back at 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 speed to create longer loops... i do this in pretty much every track i use nanoloop

Just the videoid part and [ youtube ] bbc code is needed

qy20 still lacks a wide range of midicc options, only sends 1, 6, 7, 10,11,38,64, 100, 101,120 &121 so you may want something... this is sammichSID's chart http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails. … _chart.txt which shows you'd be unable to change filter settings, waveform type, transpose, etc with the qy20 (still could do it on the sammichSID itself, but just mentioning it as a limitation if you go with a qy series)

you can mimic it with creative panning also, but doing true stereo usually sounds better

oh, this is the one i did with plenty of room reverb http://datathrash.bandcamp.com/album/in … of-the-pig

i did an album where i ran the mix through a half stack and mic'd it in my little plaster-walled room.. worked well for that thrashier stuff
