if you have the all of the tracks in the game boy for just beats and base, why dont you have snares and part of the bass line on the 1st pulse, kicks and other bits of the bass line on the second pulse, wav channel for more bass kicks and snares and other percussion and noise for cymbals and whooshes.


waow... that sounds great... but... complicated oO

how do you manage to ''think you basslines'' on 2 different channels ???

what's the actual advantage compared to snares/kicks on pusle1 and whole basse line on pulse2 ?


you have to synchronize your game boy with your DAW though

no, no!! that was just ironic, what I really like in this idea is 1gameboy and that's it! smile

freedom!!!! \o/
i love the idea of train/bank/toilettes/wherever tracking!!

so once i've managed to get a satisfiying bass sound (just tried the pulse side for the moment to be honest) and some personnal ''drum solution'' either with Kit, Custom wave or whatever, i'll have enough to work on for the next few month / years smile

thanks for extra quick answer!

heavy enough for an actual club

not really, I can use a bass multi effect to boost the things up, and it will be only for rehearsal/home recording for now

I rather find clean/punchy kicks and round bass than loud everything

mod your game boy with a different oszillator

no, no, no more electronic wizardness than backlight and pro sound... enough!! smile

or, use a second game boy

...or a pc with reason smile
i'd rather stick on a very simple set, in order to free myself for flute and lopper

Hi,

Just starting my discovery tour of LSDJ on a old gray GMB…
and well, kinda VERY pleased  about getting into it at last, it’s much more instinctive than what I thought, and the potential seems rather huge!! just have very little spare time these days, gasp sad

For my personal use (=among with other instruments) I will momentary only need a bass and beats, in a dubbish/trip-hopish/D&Bassish kind of environment, but not quite… well, nevermind…

Don’t know if you’ve hear about ‘’Silence’’ from Belgium (try the first one):

http://www.jamendo.com/fr/artist/245/silence (warning: no chip music inside at all)

It’s not exactly what I want to aim to, but, well… kind of…


I know that nothing actually replaces personal experimentation, but I just wanted to get  the ‘’general feeling’’ about how to take it in hands before getting deeper into the ‘’real stuff’’

I was wondering the pro and contra between:

-    Bass on pulse1 / Beats on Wave Channel (kits or custom wave form) +pulse2+noise
-    Beats on pulse1&2+noise  / Bass on wave (kit or custom wave form)

What do you think  could be the most  effective set up ?

Goal is to get to some ‘’vivid’’ bass sound and  ‘’short deep and punchy kicks’’

''chiprock'' sounds really cool... kind of give the general orientation, but still vague enough to arouse curiosity...

cool man, thanks for sharing!

no probs, I do also kinda flirt with HH sometimes (it's always cool to break a 190bpm D&B beat into some fatty slow oldschool 95bpm), even if the little prodidgy addicted punky devil in me would eventually twist the bass sounds until getting it nice and creepy before throwing the 190 frenzy back  smile


-edit-

had a go on both Boa's and your stuff yesterday, it's veryvery good sound, heavy basses indeed, loved it!!

cool,

thanks for the reply, i'll try to search in these directions

i'm not the kind of ''please search it for me'' guy, i love discoverring by myself, but in this case, it's cool to have some starting point!

simply one of the pulse channels run through some cheap audio mixer with the bass EQ turned up a bit.

if I arrive to this type of round/clean bass together with some bumpy kick with LSDJ, i'll be the happyest little electro chap in this world...

Hi Guys,

bit of lost in the manymany productions of the chiptune scene... i'm looking for some artist names making GB/LSDJ music in these kind of styles to listen to...
Hidden goal (appart from lsitening pleasur) isto get some mental bass / beats sounds to aim to for my own stuff (i'd use lsdj mostly for beats&bass along with other instruments)

on the LSDJ site there is a sample track called dubslide

http://www.littlesounddj.com/lsd/sounds … bslide.mp3

there is no beat in the track, but i'd be searching for this kind of bass sound...

any idea ?

Hi,

Just before sending the order oversea for cartridge and stuff, i'd like to check if I can maybe find some components for free at work.

don't have the device here in hands right now, could someone very kind and patient give me the actual backlight dimmensions ? (metric system is welcome)

thanks...

@shaturu:

maybe you're taking the problem on a too ''global'' way.

you will not buy a book, read a book... and be good, ok, next step.


What I would advise you, at my very humble level, is ''get into a song'', start writing a melody or chords, or whatever... and search for a specific info / tutorial on the net as soon as you encounter a specific ''blocking point''

you will gradually pick up small bits of knowlegde that will eventually all link together at some point.

I mean, ''music theory'' is a huge field, you will not need everything, and anyway ''getting everything'' in one go is a silly utopia.

I'd get started with something like: ''composing music for beginners'' on google and see where it leads...

trust your hears too...
