Sebastian Tomczak (Little Scale) has put together a fantastic tutorial on how to prep samples and create LSDJ kits.
LSDJ is an app designed to turn a Game Boy/Game Boy Color into a full-fledged music workstation.
To create your own sample kits for LSDJ, you’ll need several apps:
Robo-Bot Records has release a free album of Nine Inch Nails covers by 8-bit chiptune artists, Nine Chip Nails.
The compilation was organized at the 8 Bit Collective forum.
Tracks:
- Little-scale: The day the world went away
- SCSI: Down In It
- Microchip: Survivalism
- Kyotosapian: Heresy
- Subway Sonicbeat: Eraser
- Hartfelt: Hurt
Little-Scale demos NanoGroover – a device that generates Nanoloop sync data for two Gameboys, letting you sync them in some interesting ways:
- Two in the time of four (double speed)
- Three in the time of four (three against four cross rhythms)
- Four in the time of four (1:1; the sync is equal)
- Five in the time of four (quintuplets)
- Six in the time of four (triplets)
There are also controls for controlling the speed of sync (via a potentiometer; aka a “knob”) and interrupting / stopping the sync signals for either Game Boy, so that it stops.
Sort of an awesomely insane project – details on the hack are available at the Little Scale site.
