use the effect send of your mixer to send stuff into the monotribe's input.  Experiment with all kinds of stuff thrown in there. suboctaves and longer harmonies from the gb are cool when put through the mt's filter!

did not see this post. thank you as well! I have already learned from Nitro's tutorial from syncing gameboy signals to the monotribe, I believe it was nitro, or was it lazerbeat, no it was nitro I'm sure. either way, so much fun for live performance!

The microphone is likely an electret microphone which needs to be biased, meaning it needs a voltage across it. Your laptop does this by default, but Monotribe probably doesn't.
You could look here for example:

http://circuit-diagram.hqew.net/Battery … _2671.html

That circuit is a bit overkill. you can simplify it as follows: Leave out everything except R5 and C1. Connect the other terminal of the capacitor to the output, ie the tip of the jack.
R5 should be something between 4.7k and 10k.
Vcc is the positive terminal of some battery arrangement such as 3-4 AA batteries in series, or one 9V battery. The negative battery terminal goes to ground.
C1 should be something between 1 uF and 4.7 uF. The positive side of the capacitor should be connected "up", and the negative side "down", ie to the output.

Or connect it through the mixer. That's totally cool as well.

Oh and this might be if interest as well:

Thank you so much Nitro, I'm going to give this is a go, and I'll see, yeah a mixer would probably make a lot of sense anyways. I understand why now why it just didn't work with the mic in the audio in,, again, thanks, will give an update in a few weeks!

I have them all, and I must say they, along with their bigger brother the monotribe, all  rock. Especially with some tidy MIDI mods, then you got your self some serious power, Plug a midi ontroller into them, and get some sick basslines! and even some nice 8 bit melodies. in stock mode, I think the delay and monotribe are the only ones capable of making something without midi, all in all, mod these motherfuckers, korg even said that these were made to mod, get modding smile

Hey guys, I barely ever post but I though I should ask. I use monotribe very often, even just to add to my already finished songs, I love the device. Anyways, I have googled pretty massively and I haven't found if there's a way to plug in a cheap microphone into the audio in, and filter that way? I try and I fail, I am not the smartest technology wise, am I doing something wrong? the mic is a cheap samson 1\8 jack I was given by my buddy. I plug it into the audio in of the monotribe, turn the mic on, and try to filter my vocals, but I dont even hear my voice, I was wondering if it had to do anything with like phantom power lacking or some shit idk.

Any advice helps! Thank you chipmusic!

I wish I knew more, but maybe it is the adapter? I could be really wrong

Various things have been fixed in updates, such as an "antispike" fix for the wave channel.  Sticking with the latest version is the best option, I think.  At least try it out.  If you don't like it, you can easily just flash back the old version you had before.

I think I will do this, I originally bought lsdj bak in 2009, I had no idea how to use it, I think it was 3. something, idk, but now I use 4.  I want to try the very first test version lol, that would be interesting to see how much has changed. Haven't been bumping too much on lsdj this week though, I have finally given Nanoloop a test drive!

I have Lsdj 4, and I notied there is Lsdj 7.4.1, what changes have been made that are obvious, I am thinking of upgrading but I'm happy with my current version, my only pet peeve is the clipping when panning notes, that's it though.

Thank you

I'll try not using the ac adapter and I'll pick up some batteries instead for the recording. In a way I like the noise because It makes it sound so raw, but I just don't want it to catch fire as I'm playing lol. wink
