HDMI resolution instead of stretched out graphics on your big screen. Wireless controllers. Thats why I want one…

Also, I bet most chiptune lsdj carts and stuff WILL work, they just don't support it if it doesn't.

He released an unplugged album, it was just 45 minutes of silence.

One of the best with that wav channel sample BASS!

Game is crappy but the music is amazing!

i am actually working on an article on this, but here's a few quick things

-take a small section of a song you like, try to build something in a different direction off it, for example Devo's Whip It! is based on a few notes of 'pretty woman' transposed slightly and then they built the song around that. tons of rock songs are based on bits of beethoven or mozart, they had melody flying out their butts

-think about a song in your head, don't sit with a guitar or keyboard and try to figure it out, hum your idea and then try to put it into actual instruments

-record jams - play with friends, build loops and add things and record them, for hours even, Radiohead's Idiotechque was based on a few seconds of a 9-hour long recording of johnny greenwood playing with various synths and samples, the rest of the mix he describes as 'total trash', lots of bands compose like this, its time consuming but at some point that 'magic happens', you can jam by yourself with multi track recorders (sort of…)

-one thing i personally do is come up with a little riff, play it and then think in my head what should follow..what it needs…start with verse /chorus and then build from there.

as you can see there's no one method, and one is the exact opposite of the other..

I love that hexawe ANSI logo. I makes me want to revisit mine.

I migh as well share my idea with the experts, since I don't see how I'd ever pull it off myself anyways

Maybe this is stupid and impossible, I'm not technical but maybe it could be awesome. I've fiddled with making custom kits on the gameboy with LSDj. I've experimented with voices, synths and made some bass sounds that came out half-way decent.

I started thinking of two possible ways to improve the quality of the samples you're sending in;

1) applying things to the initial sample using more modern programs, things like dithering that are used to sort of change the sound on a base level. I know the lsdj import tool has dithering but I'm sure there'd be advantages or a way to use a more flexible dithering program to improve the overall sound.

2) Phase inversion/canceling. I have seen experiments where one frequency or tone can be created to cancel out another. I had the thought of using 2 gameboys running LSDJs and using a sample in one to cancel out or null some of the harshness or static tones coming out of the actual wav sample you want to hear on the other unit.

Is this crazy talk? Just trying to think of new ways to push the envelope...

Love that mixer! I would buy one of those!!
