its a pocket. I also dont have a music editing program. My history with music is short. I learned to play a Finnish 3 string guitar which sounds good no matter what (called a Dulcimer by some) and spent a while playing gypsy harmonica. This is my first attempt at digital music. I got an MGB and LSDJ so i can carry my music in my pocket wherever i go, and thats about it. Never really considered getting more complicated than that. Im more concerned on learning how LSDJ works first, then getting more complicated, better software and hardware.

ONLY because you said please...

I cant. Trouble with the test mode and the software. Doesnt read my EMS cartridge.

i'm currently experimenting with the effects neodymium magnets have on water, and what properties that water has after it has been subjected to a magnetic field. I'll attend my Kung Fu class at 7:00 and come back at 8:20 to do research on the parameters of the SYNTH screen in LSDJ while I jot down some notes about it. I'll then watch a horror movie or two, then hit the hay.

I'd say i disguised it pretty well.
in all seriousness, though, I don't see why we should keep talking about this. I've come up with a plan to incorporate chiptunes into my visual art, and we'll see how it goes from there. thank you for your advice, though. nice reminders always help.

Ive been playfully thinking about doing a series of paintings depicting screenshots from dramatic scenes of Miami Vice. It would be pretty cool to incorporate sound into thecollection and add my own 80s like soundtrack made with LSDJ. Nothing fancy, of course, but maybe learning some good synths and long, heavy bass lines. This actually sounds like a good idea: incorporating chiptunes to my other work. At least while im learning. Then i can have a hobby AND be the DJ to my own gallery shows to present a specific mood..... hmmmmmmmmmm.

And Miami Vice is pretty hot shit, so watching a few episodes so i can study the audio doesnt sound bad at all.

the tutorial thing has a little truth in it. specially since most of the tutorials out there aren't really centralized. sure, there's the nullsleep tutorial and etc etc. but I've seen and gone over those basic tutorials already. most tutorials out there are for one specific instrument, not for the whole LSDJ experience. One tutorial among the dozen I've seen just told me to fuck around with the program. I don't think LSDJ is the kind of art medium that you master by fucking around with it.... at least not effectively. it might be true for figure drawing or painting to an extent, but not for a musical instrument which requires CODING and knowledge of a NUMERICAL LANGUAGE. I would REALLY love it if there was a tutorial series out there that would sit you down, and go through every part of the LSDJ program with you from the very beginning to extremely complex things. But as far as I know, that kind of tutorial is not out there. I'd like to see your tutorials and go through with them, but I still don't think I'm ready because some of the stuff you cover still looks like greek to me, so I still feel like i have to climb through a lot of shit to even get to the interesting stuff.
