Not sure how many people will be interested in this, but here goes.
I started a cover the other day, with the intention of making a "singing" LSDJ instrument. For those who don't know, LSDJ is a tracker program which can be run through an emulator or flashed to a Gameboy cart, and utilizes the sound chip of the Gameboy to make music. There are four channels: Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Wave, and Noise.The program has a neat manual waveform editor, with which I attempted to draw some KK Slider waveforms from AC:Wild World, by eyeing them up in Audacity. From there I used LSDJ's built-in speech function to add phonyms before the notes, and made a sample kit for KK's "Hm" and Howling sounds. I still have to test it out in an actual gameboy, but I think it came out pretty well.Anyway, if anybody's interested in seeing LSDJ in action, I've uploaded a video to Youtube. Enjoy!

I just ordered synthcart for my atari 2600 a couple hours ago and then saw this blog. Really neat stuff…
Absolutely. I don't use a lot of hardware (digital or analog) to make music, but I wish I had a bit more money so I could. :)
If you use a DAW or have software that supports VST plugins, you should ABSOLUTELY check out the Plogue "chipsounds" VST. It is an incredibly accurate (down to the smallest subtle quarks) emulation of several sound chips from old consoles and arcades. Lot's of really neat stuff you can do with it!

LSDJ also looks sufficiently intimidating that i'll probably never try it haha. cool video though!my feels ~
I adore this, I really do.The Avatrol - Thanks, I'll look into that!
hel - Thanks! It's actually pretty easy once you get used to the button layout and commands. I never used a tracker before I touched LSDJ.abbeyminor - Thank you. I figured I'd try covering a calm song for a change.^Someone turn this into a smiley
Sounds pretty great!
