I made a compilation album of LSDJ songs I composed using commercial and television segment samples. You can read about and download it from my web page: https://marupanda.art/whatsonthetube/whatsonthetubevol1

Crude Modular 2 LSDJ Syncrhroniser

I made a thingy that syncs a gameboy and a modular - without any arduiners or the sort! As promised - dropping the schematic and some details, also photos of the complete thing and a demo of gameboy synced TO the modular processed THROUGH the modular, along with some additional synthy sounds.

The idea is very simple: 1/16th modular clock in, LSDJ on gameboy picks up the tempo in MIDI sync mode. It can be assembled like this on a veroboard. Powered from the gameboy itself. Mine has its link port broken out to a header at the bottom of the unit because i'm a nutcase, but you can sacrifice an actual link cable.

Here's the schematic. Since LSDJ treats 0x00 to the link port as a clock message and wants 24 of them per 1/4th of a mesaure just like MIDI, so, 6 of them per 1/16th, we just need to send 6 0x00s in a row by tying data in to ground and pulsing the clock 8 times. This advances the song by a sixteenth. This thingy starts the local clock when it receives a signal from the modular, counts up to 48 (6 bytes * 8 zeroes) and then stops localclock until further notice. Loosely inspired by Gwem's take on the matter.

The issue with my design is it will mess up all the table timings LSDJ and especially the P command, because LSDJ expects its 24 clocking messages EVENLY DISTRIBUTED across each quarter, and times itself off of each byte. But we fire them in four bursts of six in a row each for the four sixteenths per quarter. So its finer timing goes haywire.

It's a proof of concept and a valid tool if all you need is to do some simpler bleepbloop noodling. It absolutely demolishes a song i worked 8 hours on cause it has so much complex tables going on, and i'm keen on using P a ton. If you want actual precision, either use actual MIDI or experiment with PLLs to multiply the 1/16th coming from the modular by 6 to get 1/96ths, and then fire a single clock message each 1/96th, which is what LSDJ expects.

Veroboard layout for the valiant ones. Diodes are 1n4148, transistors 2n3904.

P.S. i know some recent LSDJ versions have that modular clock sync option that is supposed to be better? i guess? but i'm running 4.7.3 since eons ago and don't want to roll over. So instead i developed my own hardware

new single just dropped - a quirky jazzy lsdj chiptune track.

I released a curated selection of my chiptunes. Some are old and some are not.

As many of my friends are aware, I like dressing in light up TRON clothes + playing live chiptune on a pair of gameboys.

I made a mask last year as a way to add more ✨theatre✨ to my sets. Underneath it's a complete, separate (albeit scrappy) DIY kigurumi, that then wears the mask that's been a staple of my pfps since 2017.

This clip is like, early beta version of what I want to accomplish in the coming year. The hair was unstyled, the top layer mask came loose, my hadatai was still months from arriving … also I decided to wear two layers of mask?? Did I have a death wish?? It turns out it's really good for performing music with gameboys and helps me not get overwhelmed by stage lights??? It turned out to be a pretty cool set, despite a lot of room for improvement.

Hello Tumblrrr I just released this 13 track instrumental OJJ album on bandcamp Feel free to check it out!

About a year ago a couple of my friends really got into LSDj. I thought it was pretty cool, but I didn’t spend too much time messing around with it.

Recently, I’ve been really inspired to create. I want to put out art of some kind and the medium that spoke the most to me was music. I’ve been playing guitar for a couple of years now so I could potentially make music that way. However, I want to challenge myself so I decided to try to get into LSDj.

I haven’t spent too much time with it yet, but I’ve read a little of the manual and have learned enough to at least get a little melody going.

It’s nothing crazy, but I wanted to share.

Wish me luck on my music making journey.
