(I got a working | gameboy!) Will pay for package and handling of course! | 3np wrote: | You got me really curious but I came up short.. Have you tried | contacting him? The label is no more. | devin wrote: | If you're into this kind of thing check out the Dirtywave M8. | LSDJ-like but includes some nice improvements like a nice 4op FM | synth, some nice FX, etc. In addition, the sole developer has | been incredibly responsive on rolling out fixes and features. | Highly recommended. One of my favorite pieces of gear I own. | drakythe wrote: | And if the price tag and availability puts you off there is a | headless version that costs around $30-$40. I played with the | headless for a few months before I committed to the purchase of | the actual M8. But LSDJ was my gateway drug to this whole thing | and I love it too. | swimfar wrote: | There was a DJ called Fuckstorm that used to do some live PAs | with this. I used to have some mp3s of his. I can't find any | examples of his music online anymore, unfortunately. | WalterGR wrote: | PA? Public address? | jjulius wrote: | "Live PA" is a term commonly used in the electronic music | universe to describe a performance by an artist that | typically involves all hardware (synthesizers, Gameboys in | this instance, etc.) instead of all software or just someone | DJ'ing music. | blondin wrote: | performing artist | pvity wrote: | I guess yes, i.e. live performances where gameboy audio | output was connected to a PA system[1] (likely together with | other instruments like drum machines or samplers). | | [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_address_system | oblak wrote: | Was too poor to have a GameBoy and don't really remember what | they sounded like. It's been 30 years since I've touched one. NES | sound was pretty bad, honestly. Yes, I love the handful of Dr. | Mario tunes but there were like 64 samples or something. Not bad | but nowhere near the actual techno tunes from Streets of Rage | 2/3. | | Can't remember if the legend was SNES had the better audio than | Mega Drive. I certainly don't remember things being this way. | flobosg wrote: | > Can't remember if the legend was SNES had the better audio | than Mega Drive. I certainly don't remember things being this | way. | | While the soundchip of the SNES is technically superior | (sample-based versus the Mega Drive's FM synthesis), some | people prefer the sound of the Sega console. Personally I lean | towards the SNES, but some Mega Drive games (like the Streets | of Rage examples you mentioned) can have real bangers. In the | end it's a matter of taste. | mastazi wrote: | Oh nice, it seems the interface is a pattern based tracker | interface, similar to Jeskola Buzz or Psychle, meaning you have a | multi track table with patterns, then once you click on a pattern | you get to a traditional tracker interface, like OctaMed or | FastTracker.

A personal | favorite is Klirre: https://klirre.bandcamp.com/track/sajuuk- | over-and-over | | Album description says that this song was "written on a classic | DMG Gameboy using Nanoloop 1.7."
