I think what they're trying to say is that the arp you linked us to is a super simple, basic sound in LSDJ, and maybe you should learn the program more before asking questions like this. Anyhow I'm not trying to sound like a dick. I hear your music has a lot of potential and you have some good tunes! Keep on trackin! smile

I know how arps work, just that when I try to use them like she does it doesn't sound like her arp.

And yes I am very new to the program. I've had experience with Famitracker and FL Studio so it's a bit hard for me to get into a new system.

I've been doing this:

She spent years of hard work, improving her craft over time - listen to her earlier stuff, it wasn't anywhere near as good as the new songs. Not meant as a diss, she's one of the UK's top acts, and with good reason. Practice, practice, practice.

I have her old stuff. I really love all of her albums and tracks! And I don't doubt that she didn't have those skills the instant she put her hands on a gameboy.

And yup! Practicing all day, 'eryday!

OH and the table automation thing has to be on

Huh really, a randomize command and automation?

I'll take a spin at it.

You should try asking Chipzel herself if she could give you the programming of her instrument.

If she doesn't give it to you, than that's that.

Generally it takes chiptune artists a great deal of time and hard work to create their own unique sound which includes programming of instruments in LSDj and combinations with filters and effects.

If an artist does not want to give their instrument programming, then that's it.

Buttering up the topic title praising the instrumentation doesn't change the fact that asking for the instrument programming of another artist can be looked down upon in smaller music communities like chiptune.

A great deal of the point of LSDj is to make your own instruments. Using other artists' instruments is a weird gray area.

It takes more than using instruments from good chiptune artists to make good chiptune music.

Also, PW is Pulse Width.

My 2 cents.

sounds like a C:cmd with some O:L/R. Make sure youre using the same octaves and notes as her or whatever too and mess around with it til you get it exactly the way you want by accident.

Yo there's nothing wrong with asking how to get a certain sound and people use each other's instruments all the time without "being looked down upon," it just sometimes looks a little silly to ask because it's like asking "how do i get Slash's guitar tone" (which I still don't know, hmu)

The centered instrument in the intro sounds like a tabled octave jump. Throw some 0C's on dat bitch
The other instrument just sounds like a pulse panned left and right, lemme hear u say Oxx

The reason your instruments may sound different is because many things factor into the instrument settings, like the Tempo of your track will affect the tables

But the real thing is: you only have a few commands, a couple waveforms*, three positions of panning**, and 15 steps of volume***, so fuck around with random shit-you wont break anything and you may come up with cool sounds that other people will wonder how the hell you did them too!

* - yes i know this is a huge understatement; neckbeards = no
** - goddammit i know theres a way around this here too
*** - jesus dont make me get the hose

When all else fails though, I personally like to throw a big HFF in one or two of my patterns for a great overall thick sound

Who says I can't ask how to do something?

This is general discussion, not a youtube comment section.

And also, I may be new to the whole chiptune thing, but that doesn't mean you have to put me down just for asking.
