here's a track i used it extensively on, synching lsdj and nanoloop and 'playing' the lsdj with a midi controller keyboard

also Thomas can probably still build you one, not sure what the cost is wink but i have this reluctantly for sale

oops, yeh sorry that pic hides the connectors...here's the details from firestARTer's page... it can synch nanoloop also, but with lsdj you can note command, i used a keyboard to play some parts on my album

MIDI-CONTROLLER for LSDJ MC2 by firestARTer original

anyone interested? Hate to sell it, perfect condition, used it on my Receptors album "Midi-life Crisis in Mini-Graceland" but haven't revisited that style in a while so it's goming to waste stored in plastic.  email me at [email protected]  not sure what it's worth.

2 FREE D/L tracks still available thru 12/12/12 (full album release date) also see the UPDATED track list

Equipment used is mostly DMG Game Boy (LSDJ & Nanoloop 1.2) and GB Advanced (Nanoloop 2.1) PMA-5 stylophonic MIDI-controlled/vocoded Nintendo Entertainment System ("Stylovoxed" MidiNES ) & Sidstation.
The two remixes utilize vintage analog synths, mainly Moog Rogue, Sequential Circuits Pro-One and Roland Juno series.

Pitchfork did review the 8-Bit Operators Kraftwerk release back in '07.

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/986 … kraftwerk/

the review sounds like it should be an '8' but as usual, like the Onion parody, it gets a '6.5', tongue

I wanted to point something out regarding CC licensing and some of it's misconceptions.

It's an issue that has become a bit of a problem inasmuch as it appears to, in the end, discourage ANY commercial use at all of the music licensed as CC.

Over the years some of my  CC licensed  Receptors  tracks have been used for non-commercial projects, I assume at least in part due to it's Creative Commons licensing tag, which outlines their availabilty for non-commercial use without permission. One or two of these projects that used the tracks  made it past beta stages or early versions to eventually become a commercial endeavor, which is great, but..

I have noticed in these now- commercial projects that the developers assume they then need  a whole new soundtrack because the CC  songs were' non-commercial .   

I wanted to make clear that with all CC licenses, it doesn't disclude the ability for commercial use as long as the artist is contacted and you get agreement from the artist to do so, of course where some sort of payment may or may not be needed for said artist.

In other words misconceptions about CC  could end up punishing the musicians who were nice enough to have CC work online, when and if a project gets to the point of being commercial.

Of course if someone I disagreed morally or politically wrote me and asked if they could use it, I could say no. But indeed if one was contacted for use in an industry one supported, OF COURSE one could and would have the freedom to say , 'yes go ahead and use my CC track for your commercial use."

CC is mainly intended for the ease of online distribution without permission when no commercial use is involved. So please remember that all it takes is asking the artist first and commercial use is still possible. CC is really just a license beyond any other licensing or (c) copyrights.

The chipmusic community in particular needs to make these things clear since easily 95% or more is all up as CC.

I'm not saying the problem is with CC itself, just the misconception of it's guidelines, due mostly, imo , to it's wording.

@bryface , yeh Len came over my house a month or so ago for 3 hours of talk, pizza and beer. nice guy ,i originally met him in 2004 when he interviewed me when i played a Receptors gameboy show at the Virginia Tech radio slot he ran then.

the namedrop parade continues in part 3 : http://bit.ly/cosjk-3 , mostly about Futurisk, but some Receptors lsdj talk  at the end.

Consequence Of Sound chipmusic related 6-part interview.

Me doing what I do best, talking about myself again.
I do mention a few of the relevant sites and people from the scene throughout the segments though.

Here's parts 1 & 2 of a 6-part interview that delves into chipmusic and other electronic projects I've done in the past.

pt 1:

a lot of stuff that myself and others have said before, mostly for the uninitiated, but pretty good i think, although one edit makes it sound like i think the Supercharger was created by Paul Slocum when i was just explaining how to load a Loopcart.
