LSDJ, '''L'''ittle '''S'''ound '''D'''isk '''J'''ockey, is a Homebrewed Cartridge for the Nintendo Game Boy , programmed by Johan Kotlinski (known to the Chiptune world as Role Model), that enables the user to sequence and program music to run on the Game Boy's sound processor. The LSDJ is primarily used by Chiptune artists, however it is also popular with many other Musician s for writing Song s featuring gameboy sounds. The Sequencer of LSDJ has a very open structure. It was designed to leave all the musical possibilities of the Game Boy in the hands of the user. The system can be said to be both simple and complex; it has a slight Learning Curve , but when learned, it is possible to transcribe a complete Bach piece to it in less than one hour. The Game Boy sound chip offers four channels with 4-bit sound. Custom Waveforms can be created by free-hand drawing, or by using a subtractive Synthesizer with resonant Filters . For extra versatility, LSDJ also contains a quite powerful Arpeggiator , which possibilities go far beyond the classic SID -style chords. In terms of samples, LSDJ boasts a set of 59 Phonemes for programmable speech. It also features drum kits sampled from the TR-606 , TR-707 , TR-727 , TR-808 , TR-909 , CR-78 , CR-8000 , KR-55 , DR-55 , DR-110 , Drumulator , RhythmAce , TOM and LinnDrum Drum Machines . Commercial production of LSDJ units has been placed on indeterminate hiatus; however, the LSDJ's ROM Image is downloadable from the device's website for a fee. The ROM can be placed onto a rewritable cartridge from one of the various backup devices made for the Game Boy. Commercially produced LSDJ Cartridges occasionally appear on EBay and are competitively bid upon. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
LSDJ - ALTERNATE DEFINITION LSDJ is an electronic/ Trip Hop artist from Portland, OR . He has released 2 albums (Reflections in 2005 & Trip The Anarchy in 2006) on his own Purple Sky Records label. Borrowing equally from the worlds of jazz, techno, hip hop & rock, LSDJ is a cut chemist of musical ideas that evoke dark, film noir settings. Equally at ease with the blissful aspects of music, LSDJ's style can take a 180-degree turn in an instant. Through his use of technology to form usually sparse (though occasionally lush) soundscapes, his music defies the current trend towards all-electronic bleeps & bloops. LSDJ prefers the natural. His influences range from DJ Shadow to James Brown ; Bach to Chicago ; the Beatles to Grandaddy . The creative aspect of his music is interesting in that it can take 5 days to finish a song... or up to 3 years as was the case in some of the songs on Reflections. Regardless, this album is a classic to chill to. EXTERNAL LINKS |
