Another peek

Another vid using a keyboard and ableton to send midi notes to mGB through the arduinoboy. Tutorials to come soon :)

Sneak peek

Thought i'd make a quick video of where I'm at for the moment... My current setup is a gameboy loaded with LSDJ and mGB connected to Ableton via the arduinoboy with a midi keyboard for input and a kaoss pad for post-effects. The video is for LSDJ mode. Enjoy :)

Yo, my name is Marty and I'm a chiptunes artist from Australia. I've created this blog to help people get into producing chiptunes. A lot of the tutorials I intend on posting will be based around the Arduinoboy but others will be my own mods and tricks.

For anyone who may not know what an Arduinoboy is, it is an amazingly cool open source MIDI controller for the gameboy. It is awesome for connecting MIDI sequencers/keyboards/Ableton/whatever to the gameboy for some pretty unique sounds.

I mostly use it to sync timing between Ableton and LSDJ but also to connect midi keyboards with the gameboy for sending keyboard notes.

Unfortunately as I found out, documentation for the arduinoboy is still in early days so alot of the issues I came across I had to figure out myself.

In upcoming posts I will try and fill in many of the gaps and provide solutions to problems that I ran into and show you some tricks I've picked up along the way.
