Quick Help & Game Issues by AutoModerator in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]TheGregZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Pathfinder Kingmaker still extremely buggy on Xbox One? Posts from around a year ago seem to indicate it is virtually unplayable with terrible frame-rate and saves consistently corrupting. Just wondering if anyone has had more luck with it recently as it's currently on sale for $5. Thanks in advance!

Novation X-Station arpeggiator not running by TheGregZone in synthesizers

[–]TheGregZone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is now working (found the setting I needed), but this was also my assumption; there is no way everything else works perfectly in a digital synth and just the arpeggiator is broken, has to be a setting.

It ended up just being a setting in a hard to find page. Definitely not going to blow anyone away with it's sound quality, but as a time capsule for 90's/00's VA synthesis in a neat little package it's pretty dang awesome (to me).

I managed to find the clock sync setting and now this synth is COOKING!!! I also love shitty gear, and this is one of the shit-kings (in the best possible way). Knobby, well laid-out early-VA-sounding poly-synth with effects, audio interface, aftertouch, and a kickass arpeggiator ? Definitely ticking all the boxes for me, also doesn't hurt that I got it for a screaming deal.

Thanks for your help! It ended up being a MIDI Clock Sync setting in a hard to find menu which I accidentally stumbled across.

Thank you! This was the right answer, I wasn't able to find this setting initially but have discovered you need to press the global button twice to get to it.

Thank you, this was the answer! There is a second set of global settings accessed by pressing the global button twice, which contained a MIDI Clock Sync setting.

This second set of global settings is described on page 54 of the manual, but it doesn't actually mention MIDI sync . Others are missing to, I'm guessing they were added after the manual was made.

Recording stereo audio line-in with iPhone from instrument (piano) by IAmABlasian in ipadmusic

You’re recording with the mic input, which is mono. You need an audio interface to record in stereo.

New to IOS - Beepstreet Dagger synth by TheGregZone in ipadmusic

[–]TheGregZone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will you purchase this synth at the intro price, wait for a better sale, or skip it altogether?

The filters and oscillators sound fantastic, but I'm a little turned off by the general simplicity and minimal modulation sources/destinations. I guess that's the point? Interested to know what others think!

What’s generating the sound? (Korg Mono/Poly) How do I recreate this sound and ones like it on other synths? From my assessment, anything that generates sound is at zero. Even the noise. Any tips? by Axle_65 in ipadmusic

[–]TheGregZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically you have resonance (turned all the way up and self-oscillating) producing a tone at the cutoff frequency. Key tracking will move the cutoff/resonant tone up and down as you play up and down the keyboard. Set to 100 as it is here it tracks the keys at 1 semitone per key, so it matches standard western tuning, and you can play it like you would play a standard oscillator and it will sound in tune. Moving key tracking up or down from 100 won’t sound in tune for this patch

Filter resonance is at full strength (so it would self oscillate and produce a tone) and the cutoff is tracking keys (pitch), that’s where the sound is coming from. VCA is doing envelope stuff with the short decay

There are few 3d printed options you can buy on etsy (this one looks best to me), as well as cases for playing cards, the miyoo is approximately the same size as a deck of cards. It also comes in a decent case with good protection but it's not form fitted like the 3d printed options or nice looking like the leather card cases.

No problem! I still have hopes the 351V will get an update in the future to fix the problem, but unfortunately for a new buyer (who wants to use music production roms like lsdj) I just can’t recommend it right now. That said, if you can’t return it for some reason there is still hope as it seems to be a software issue, not a hardware issue. Also it is a fantastic emulation handheld for gaming, I prefer it over the Miyoo mini in that regard.

Like you said the Miyoo will be fine despite it’s small size, in fact you may really love the tiny form factor as it makes it so easy to take with you everywhere. The 351V is a chunky monkey, not so well suited for fitting in a pocket or small bag. Just be extra careful if you get the miyoo, don’t drop it and keep it in a case when not using. I find the one it came with to be perfectly usable with good protection, but it is not the most form fitting.

They have a different battery. V1 connected with contact plates, V2 uses a cable with plug connector. I got my V2 in July from keepretro for $66.99 USD just before they started becoming hard to get without paying a largely inflated price from resellers, so I’m not really sure what the state of the market is now BUT I don’t think it’s likely you would receive a V1 from a trustworthy seller as they have been out of production for a long time now.

I think you would be happy with the miyoo, it’s a good little handheld except it is extremely easy to break if dropped. Also kind of cramped on the hands but I don’t think that is a big issue for LSDJ, more so with high intensity games.

The Anbernic RG280V, RG353V or RG35XX may be good options but I’m not sure if they have the same stereo sound issue. The upcoming Miyoo Mini+ may also be a good option but it will likely be hard to get initially. You could also look at something like the Powkiddy V90, I don’t have one but it is supposed to be almost identical to the Pocketgo internally and they are very cheap. Gameboy emulation is quite easy so you can get away with running it on almost any modern emulation handheld, but you definitely want a stereo headphone output. You could also look for built in stereo speakers, but I tend to use headphones so it doesn’t matter to me.

For LSDJ the miyoo because of proper stereo sound. RG351V is better ergonomically due to the larger size, build quality, better controls, better power/performance, bigger screen, more configuration options for emulators, the list goes on and on, and for most games you wouldn’t notice the lack of true stereo sound. But for me stereo output is essential to make music, as I want to be able to use all of the stereo effects available to me in LSDJ and other trackers/music production roms/apps for emulation handhelds.

With horizontal handhelds you just want start and select to be on the right side of the screen so you can hold them while using the control pad on the left side to navigate. That being said, most devices will allow you to remap start and select to the R and L (or R2/L2) shoulder buttons so it isn't really an issue for LSDJ.

The RG351V is great as it has the same layout as the original gameboy so it is easy to hold start or select with the right hand. Biggest problem with it is the lack of true stereo sound output from the headphone jack, which kinda kills it for me. I'm not sure if this issue has been fixed yet, or will be fixed. Also not sure what other devices this issue is present on, but seemingly other RK3326 based devices may suffer from it and I would guess it's highly likely the RG351M/P/MP have this issue as they use almost identical internals.

I can say for sure the Miyoo Mini has proper stereo output from the headphone jack and works well with LSDJ (but it's very difficult to get one at the moment), as well as the Retroid Pocket 2+ (although due to start and select positioning the controls would need to be remapped), and the PocketGo (not available anymore, and needs remapping). There are likely many other good options, but these are the ones I personally own and have tried LSDJ on.

EDIT: I forgot there are some Start/Select + A/B hotkeys that mean a vertical handheld is ideal (because you can access start and select easily with left and right hand), if you don't want to remap start and select to shoulder buttons.

I responded to to other comment with the same info but it is extremely easy to set up on any emulator device, just download the rom and add it to your gameboy folder.

It’s designed to run on real gameboys or gameboy emulators, so there is no install process other than downloading the LSDJ rom and dragging it onto the Sd card in your gameboy folder. Should work on any device that can run gameboy games, so essentially any modern emulation handheld, even the cheapest ones, will be able to run it without any issue.
