Yes, this will be finished soon. I'm working on a lil mix of similar tunes

"We have Saint Pepsi at home."

#chiptune #lsdj #vaporwave #chipsky

I still think the Kingdom of Zeal has some of the best music in all of gaming. #chronotrigger

Hell yeah! I creep FB marketplace with an eye out for 4-tracks haha. The Yamaha ones are cool.

Yoooo! That is a cool mixer! I love that whole 80s mixer aesthetic. Kind of reminds me of my Tascam 4-track.

I bet it sounds cool pushed hard.

YouTube video by roboctopus Mixing Japanese City Pop Live on Two Game Boys Vol. 1 (8-Bit DJ Set)

I played some live shows doing a weird sort of chiptune/vaporwave/citypop hybrid thing back in 2017-2018 and people still ask about those tunes from time to time, so I did a little mini live set.

Thought I'd share :)

@dariendude17.bsky.social Here's that tune you were asking about. :)

Here's a new song! 1xLSDJ, synth, breakbeat, and Shakespeare lol.

I will fill out the low end with a second gameboy for the album version, but this one is pretty cool I think.

#chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #gameboy #8bit

The other one you asked about is finished and will be on my upcoming album, so no worries there!

This one is my submission for weekly beats this week, so it will be done by Sunday, one way or another lol.

I just started this, so nothing more at the moment. I'll post when done though😊

YouTube video by roboctopus Tutorial - How to prepare drum breaks for LSDJ on the Game Boy

Yes! Using LSDJ. You can use the LSDJPatch program to replace the sample kits on the ROM with different samples. Drums, synths, vocals, etc.

I did a tutorial on how to do it using drum breaks if you want to check it out.

youtu.be/KsCHfYFGD_A?...

Yep! I do that a lot. 😎

Is 8-bit Shakespeare-glitch-step a genre?

#lsdj #chiptune #chipsky #gameboy #tomorrowandtomorrowandtomorrowcreepsinthispettypace

Yep! 3 notes at a time plus the noise channel.

Always a fun musical puzzle 😄

YouTube video by roboctopus We Are the Crystal Gems - Steven Universe Theme Chiptune Cover

I have been rewatching #stevenuniverse with my kids and wanted to do a #gameboy version of the theme song. Except straight covers are boring so I had some fun with it.

Here's We Are the Crystal Gems, #LSDJ drum n bass version lol.

Glass Cannon, by Boy Without Batteries 9 track album

January has a been a good month for #LSDJ releases, my #chiptune friends! I wanted to share several excellent releases I've been listening to a lot.

@bwobchiptune.bsky.social returned with a fantastic, beautiful release: boywithoutbatteries.bandcamp.com/album/glass-...

Also banjo picking is kinda chiptune

The Law of #Chiptune:

You cannot quit chiptune; you can only go on an extended hiatus.

Amazing vibes!

Always love just looking at Impulse Tracker. It just looks cool.

YouTube video by roboctopus little pictures of me - LSDJ with vocals

Here is another LSDJ + vocals tune from my upcoming album. This one has some pretty chonky breakbeats in it. :D

Kinda darker vibe though, unfortunately appropriate for the times. :/

YouTube video by roboctopus 8-bit Gravity Falls Theme covered on Nintendo Game Boy

I covered Gravity Falls theme song on LSDJ. Used this as an interlude last year at Boston Bitdown and decided to extend it and have a bit of fun with the theme.

Thanks ^_^

I'm working on an album of this stuff 😊

Bopping all around 😎

I feel like maybe this one is going to be cool. I mixed some of my actual voice back in with the processed vocals as an experiment.

#lsdj #chipsky #gameboy #chipmusic #8bit #retro

it's still kind of random haha.

But yeah, sometimes a hard limiter to tamp down any spikes, then back off the vol a bit before loading it into the patcher works. Then boost the hell out of it in the program.

But then, sometimes that doesn't work. lol.

Yeah, more often than not things just sound like ass lol. But when stuff works, it's rad.

I have found that vol spikes matter more for the initial import into LSDJPatch. So sometimes you can lower the vol of your sample before importing it, and then bump it up once it's in the patcher.
