if you are using a backlit dmg and are prone to epileptic fits, then no. it just starts getting blinky when it is 2 octaves slow. 3 octaves slow is even more unbearable to look at and after 4 slow (not visible at all) the fifth octave starts breaking up. this would be less of a bother on a dmg that has no backlight.

pocket music for color is really good. Hunt it down on ebay if you have the funds to do so. advance version, however makes using the riff editor prohibitive. you can tweak sounds all you want, but it is too much screwing around just to get a sound out (other than a sample or premade riff)

bitcoin is still one of those keep your head down types of things though. the feds have been fucking with it so much. reliable currency is a threat, and people are thirsty for something definite. path of least resistance....

having no notes named forces you to write better music because you go with what sounds right. music theory is unoriginal... nothing new ever happens. its always what beethoven made or some other illuminati-approved for fame dead man. covering the same progression of notes is only okay if 1)you created it; 2)the song is drastically different.
We need to be better than the mainstream, break the mould! its better to have people stealing from the scene because it kicks so much ass than hearing everyone make covers (remixes are cool if they have a new and original twist i guess)
anyone that is taught music is being handicapped... there is so much more than major and minor. I am not sure I believe what i was told... major is not happy and minor is not sad. I decide the context by embellishments.
besides you can split an octave more than 12 ways.

It is good to see we will be able to get chiptune making gear after the dollar collapses. I would not want to ride out the apocolypse without lsdj. Batteries keep for like 10 years...

I really like pulling out the cart.... then putting it into another gba then beatmatching them.... then stickin it in halfway and pulling out again. then put it back in the other. when my ds lite comes and i get it modded i will find out if gbaccelerators are exactly the same for ds as advance. super bummed that my original ds touch screen snapped from placing the chip wrong.

Had my nanoloop 2 cart for a couple of days and cannot put it down. even took it to work and got in trouble. This cart is a monster. Like a singing yeti or a happy sea lizard.

crossfaders?

Do you mean for left right panning or for fading between the inputs. I could do either, or both. I'd have to start looking at other enclosures though.

you could do both by plugging both rights to one channel(or not)? I have not really figured out the fader on my km202, i just know its nice to fade one nanoloop to another to interrupt the repetitive nature. it is really useful with nanovoice because it gets dull so quick.
I have been trying to wire up a little passive mixer with a crossfader, but i am stuck on connecting things. I have 2 ins and 1 out a 36k fader and some 47k resistors.... wish someone could take a look at it so i can get it working. I know it sounds excessive to need 2 crossfaders, but you can do some really cool stuff with them.

crossfaders?

what is relevant to chiptunes is a matter of perspective. not everyone is gonna go for nanovoice under a jaw harp and digeredoo. It is an interesting mix though. artists decide the medium.

some people are just really dumb. I forget a lot of stuff. I never want to be told a question i ask is stupid. maybe i forget things or dont catch on, but the real dumbass is the one that did not ask out of fear of rejection or humiliation. the troll button would be for the people who ask a lot of questions and only want to see posts that are helpful. or maybe having this feature would allow members to stroke their own ego by feeling above a noob's postings.
in lieu of common courtesy the troll block feature is a prototype of social perfection.

the report button is for really unnecessary stuff. the troll button would be for slightly annoying things. so we dont revoke peoples freedom of speech

offer paid users to not have to see posts of people who they feel are trolls. i would put that in my pipe and smoke it. It would be like an internet restraining order.
Troll button.
