but PSPs don't have the option for midi, that's why the gp2x got my attention

i like it but it doesn't really flow that well for me on a desktop. (exactly what happened for me with lsdj on an emulator before i got it on an ems cart) maybe what i need to do is get it on a handheld and see how it goes from there. just borrow someone's psp or something.

edit: for the tater plates, i pan-fried them. i knew better than to put them in the microwave, but i didn't know that the oven was better than on the range haha

Ah right, I have no need of midi capabilities yet, so it hasn't been a problem for me. I do get that as well, I much preffer to use it on a psp than pc, I find it easier to work with.

i kno i mentioned this on another thread, but i only use lgpt on my pc and i love it, for the simple fact that all the resources i need to complete a track (recording, samples, etc.) are right in the same spot as lgpt. i hate having to go back and forth between a console and my pc. just take a day to get used to the controls, not worrying about making music necessarily at first.. it gets mad easy after a while.. the pc controls are conveniently placed to where you don't even have to move your hands, only fingers. let me know if you need any help basspuddle. i can share some of my amateur techniques with you if you want wink

i think people (i don't necessarily mean you alpine) seem to equate running lgpt on a handheld to running lsdj on a dmg.. like it is more "scene legit" or whatever.. but it's not the case. lgpt is a tracker, which is compatible with some handhelds. lsdj is a gameboy program, which can be run on a pc with an emulator.. it is different. i can see how a handheld would be fun for live performance, traveling, etc.. but i can't think of a very good reason, aside from catering to certain midi configurations, to go handheld at home with lgpt. of course, this is all subject to personal preference wink

I'm not a massive fan of the control layout on pc, it feels a little odd to me, but then again, I'm more of console person than a pc person (but I primarily use FL Studio and Famitracker, so I guess I'm just picky) As for the second part, I just run piggy on my psp because I think the size of the workspace coralates well to the size of the psp's screen, as do the controls to the amount of buttons.
I do see your point, having to swap between pc and psp to do stuff with samples, but I just installed a file browser, and dumped a load of samples on my psp, so that I can make tracks on the go, without a pc. I like to make tracks when I'm away from the computer, weather I'm in the back of a car, on a long drive somewhere, or I'm just downstairs, and I can't be arsed to walk upstairs and turn my pc on.

also cornwall is still pretty, and still a little boring

Oh sorry, I don't think I was clear. The taco midi was in a DMG. He plugged a midi guitar into it and played songs. The video is hilarious. I highly recommend you watch it.

I wasn't aware that mini usb had 5 pins..why is that? That certainly would be a great candidate though. Usb cables/ports are so cheap and easy to come by.  The real problem for me is drumming up enough uses for actually replacing it...

But thanks again for the info and for getting my brain working! Great mod. I'll look forward to more work and products in your shop!

Damnit, I didn't think anyone had already done that. Link to the video?

cornwall is pretty, but a little dull

Sonny boy ill tell ya back in my day we could beat contra two players on a single standard keyboard with lives to spare, key lockups and all. Pshaw. And no tool assistance neither.

Im always surprised at how many people assume that the only way to interface with a pc is through keyboard and mouse. There are xbbox controllers f n, not to mention there are actually usb contollers made specifically for pc gasp

I don't think for a single moment that anyone suggested that the only way to controll a computer was with a mouse and keyboard, I use an xbox controller to play the majority of the PC games that I play (b/c I'm a console fag that can't use a mouse) but yeah, I could use a controller for piggy, but also with the size of it, I find that it's much more suited to portables. Now I know you can adjust the screen size etc but that's a bit to much effort for me

Seconding this. Only time I run piggy on a computer is if I'm recording.

y?

imo, it's easier to compose on a portable, with an interface like that I mean. famitracker is really good for PC, there's lot of shit to click on, and you use a lot of the keyboard, but something like piggy only has a few keys that it uses, and doesn't require a mouse at all really.

You should get an handheld (like PSP or dingoo) for LGPT (if you don't have one already !)

holy shit.
Damn, if I had that kinda money, I would so buy them

I can't remember who it was, but they recorded guitar chords, and had them playing the same way kits would, and the song sounded p good. They did say that it takes a lot of fiddling around to get it sounding alright, and that you can't really use anything bass-y because most of the bass gets removed or something

my pc just really needs a clean install. I got it from a relative with only 256 mb ram and I have no idea what they did with it before I got it, haha. I have utorrent, chrome and LMMS running. It just takes a bit for them to start up (especially with chrome running. If not for chrome, everything runs faster) Really chrome is the only thing I have problems with, not to mention programs that need better graphics than what my integrated chip can give..

Chrome does use a lot of memory, even with no tabs open, it's got around 4-6 separate processes running.

No, stay in drugs, don't do school obvs. Just saying that it's a pretty shitty thing to do, to lace someone's drink or whatever.

This is pretty dope, I'm going to have to try this out.
