prosounding is absoluteley necessary because you need to amplify the signal to get any good sound out of it

The frontlight mod is a fun challange. the end result is stunning. the lines are actually really cool. just 1 bit of advice for you... do not set the plastic into the cgb until you know the right way to put it. i promise you will have scratches in it forever if you so much as look at it wrong. touching it will also wreck it. you need a 47 ohm resistor and a broken sp from ebay. (you dont have to snip the ribbon cable for the record)
I got lucky on mine because the sp that i bought for $28 that was listed as is was only dirty. I kept the lcd intact and resold it for about $22

songs that have been #1. i listen to nothing else. the critics save me time

a ltc1799 on a variable resistor piggybacks on the crystal. what then?  it is still using the original hardware, only feeding it a bogus signal. wouldnt that be more like a ram upgrade?

Yea but with a lobotomized cpu, v commands may very well cause crashes as they can be very cpu intensive.

wouldn't the cpu have more time to think?

Not only is this post entirely close-minded under the guise of enlightened, it's also inconsiderate.  The simple fact is, some peoples' brains work better with note values than arbitrary dots.  Your "break[ing] the mold" is really just you shutting out reality because you have some ludicrous preconceived notion about music theory.  Theory teaches you there's more than major and minor.  It teaches you that one is not happy nor is one sad.  It teaches you the different ways to divide an octave and different tunings and how to use them effectively.  This is not the place to spout hate speech about music theory, especially when it teaches exactly what you are preaching.

Beyond that, note names weren't forced on anyone.  You could use it if you wanted.  They are also exactly the same thing as the dots, just represented in a mildly different manner.

I'll be sticking with my old 2.3 until note names come back.  2.7 seems worth the update, but note names help my process so I'll wait for their return.

That is the smartest thing anyone has ever said to me. maybe I will be rethinking my life. I will never require anyone to agree with me.

go to the pawn shop right now. buy a crappy yet sturdy electric guitar. learn some chords. learn which progressions are sort of the standard.
a little roland micro cube (maybe $30) will have an aux in to plug your gameboy in to (poor man's drum machine).
if you go 1 day without atleast 20 minutes of working on music take all of your music stuff back to the pawn shop...
learn which modes to use for melodic lines sitting on top of chords. fitting melodies with harmonies is really a lost art. example: over a minorflat9flat6 chord you use phrygian (just pick random notes out of the scale and dont look back). over a half diminished chord use locrian. mixolydian mode is good for turnarounds and over dominant7 chords. minor chords require the use of dorian mode.
I don't play loud music after lunch.<--- remember that and your ready to compose.
modes are not the only scales. try a phrygian bassline with a melody from the gypsy scale (bulletproof) (pantie dropper) again choose random notes.
dont let anyone convince you that you need structure or nothing new will ever happen. experiment with the hop command... make a cool melody and put a hop command in d of the phrase. better yet if you have nanoloop 2 fill all 4 channels with different notes and sounds and filters (of scales that fit together) and set them to play randomly and fall asleep with headphones in your ears. your subconcious will be impregnated with melodies then.

the oscillatior i got must be different somehow because it is really stable. maybe because i added no trim resistor?
