if you dont want to mess with the code, jsut use the max patch editing program that comes in the zip and update it over midi. Couldnt be easier.

thanks guys for all your input so far...

i have managed to get some sound out of the c64 now!

how do you send a note lower than C3? it seems the note option has a lowest value of C3 on LSDJ and the only way to get lower is playing with the Q command though then it is difficult to know which note you are playing....

The way I get around the C3 limit is by making an instrument that uses a table with the Q offset set to an octave or two down. This also frees up the command column on the chain screen.

I had no idea LSDJ could be used as a MIDI sequencer...?!

ok, interesting. so if I assign say table 00 to the instrument i am using (also 00). What is then needed in the table, is it just something specific on the first line?

im not sure which q command is to drop an octave (or 2). My c64 can receive notes as low as C0 so entering a c3 note on lsdj and sending out a c0 note would be ideal....

dropping an octave would be QF4, if i remember correctly... 2 would be QE8 ?

QF4 outputs a note but QE8 is silent, in fact all QE range is silent. Is it also normal (once using a table) that the gaps between notes sounds as though the sound is being re-triggered?

I'll have to check that QE quirk. For the tables, make sure you use the hop command to prevent the table from looping, otherwise it will continue to re-trigger the note.

Yes because it'll retrigger the q everytime it comes around.  You need to do something like this if you don't want it to re-trig

the H commands makes it so it doesn't loop around.

You could use the midi out to sequence mGB on another gameboy!

Also, you could use the midi out to make fancy light shows via this thing:

Which is something I just might do.
