Author Topic: [Music] Kommisar - Reimu Plays LSDJ EP (Read 4890 times)

Haven't released this officially anywhere yet, not sure what to do with it honestly. This is my 1st LSDJ ep, 100% made with a gameboy.

LSDJ is a game/program on the gameboy itself to create music with its hardware. It's complicated to use, but generates legitimate 8bit sounds. I decided to make a few Toho arranges with it, got someone to make me some art and wala.

Hope you enjoy.

Oh wow so you're the one who made that Bad Apple chiptune

Kommi is totally amazing bro.

Do you do other kinds of music, or just chiptunes?

Palewolf · « **Reply #8 on:** February 21, 2011, 10:30:47 PM »

I love this kind of music, very nice!

I'm listening to the bad apple version right now.
It's amazing at how well you did it. Normally people would miss a note or something when remaking a song in chiptune, but you did it practically perfectly. Congrats.

thanks guys :3

The difference with other chip versions is that they just convert the midi to whatever vst they use. it usually sounds really fake and empty, but I did everything by ear (or eye sometimes) so that I could arrange it the way sounded best for me.

I've tried other genres but chip music is my main swag

So you hardware synthesize with real chipsets? :O
I wish I could see you do your stuff in real life (like how you hook up the board then wire it up to your recording media and stuff).

Maybe Kommi could host a "how to make a chiptune soundtrack" tutorial over at Anime North? :V

haha that'd be fun to try. actually, here's what it looks like in-game. I have to plug into a midi controller and mess around with the sound till it sounds presentable haha

Christobel! Great job man. Think the break that comes up at :49 coulda sounded more intense, but its still good with the part after that.

Oh wow, what do we have here... It's like a modernized musical composition/remixing for the oldschool portable console that is the Game Boy!...Hnnn, by "modernized music", I mean those music that sound like party music or something that you'd dance with, with psychedelic lights...or in other words, "oontz oontz oontz oontz" xD (Tagalog version that I think's closer to the sound: "toogs toogs toogs toogs")

If these pieces were, say, remixed to sound like what they should've sound like in usually-synthesized instruments, I'd rather hear these GameBoy versions. It's modernized and it's oldschool in the same way.
Although I'd very much prefer simple-tuned Game Boy music, like what one would hear from Gameboy Games, I pretty much enjoyed these pieces, too. :3

So these 5 pieces are all just compiled, right? I mean, you've done these pieces before. Hnn, so they were the GameBoy kind of 8-bit sound...

Haha course =p just plugin in the original midi with different VST's is lazy

Kommisar · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2011, 01:26:41 PM »

Simple gameboy tunes are too....simple and don't have the same listening value as a more modern unce gameboy track. depends on taste though

LSDJ is a tracker yea
