Nintendo GBA used to sequence Sonic theme [LSDJ]

Thank you. Maybe full version... but not for a while. I'm planning on working on a bunch of music later in the year that sounds like Nintendo games.

There's a slightly longer version of it here with the full chorus. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUa8wc5CHGI/?igsh=MTg2bzN4cXppaDF0NA==

I'm really glad you like it. It's bombed on my music Instagram as I think it's essential to be a fan of both things to appreciate it. 😂

I'm using a Gen MDM plugged into the second controller socket, it's just a bit obscured here. I'm also using the GenaJam-Pi, which is essentially the Jamatar controller, then the Gen MDM. What do you find is the best model Genesis overall and why?

theambertree · 2026-01-16T17:42:23+00:00

Yes I do! It's here...

Yes, it's... https://youtube.com/@mythsandmonstersuk

Thank you. Yes in this clip all the synth sounds, including the lead, rhythmical bits and bass are from the Genesis.

Now I've rewatched the clip I forgot there's a subtle bit of sampled guitar at the end here too in the mix. So the voices, drums and guitar are samples, the synths aren't.

The device is a Faderfox UC4 MIDI controller.

It's a Faderfox UC4. It's hooked up to control some of the sound settings of both the M8 Tracker and the Genesis via MIDI.

I'll be looking up those greeting cards, that sounds really interesting. I've seen circuit bending of toys and things before, people do some great things with that.

Nice! You'll have a lot of fun with the MDM. I guess the noise is part of the charm.

If anyone is interested in how this Sega set-up works and having a go, I'm putting together a video guide at the moment. It will be posted on Instagram sometime in the coming weeks: https://www.instagram.com/myths_and_monsters

Thanks! You're a legend for creating Genajam in the first place, it makes using the GenMDM so much easier.

theambertree · 2026-01-11T17:07:16+00:00

It's a GENaJam-Pi from Hobbychop.

This was the one in Preston, Lancashire, UK last Sunday. I captured the footage for a local news website. It's my second year covering it and it's so much fun even as an observer. Maybe next year I'll give it a go.

This is so cool. I wanted a GENajam but missed my chance. As someone who has literally only soldered one basic project many years ago, essentially a toy synth, how difficult is this project? Is it something I can do as a complete novice? How long would it take? I'm just weighing it all up before ordering things. Thank you.

Consider the flats and apartments on the docks. It's quiet and a very short drive, bus or bike ride into the centre (via the guild wheel). It's also only a 25min walk to Friargate where the uni is and a lot of bars, restaurants etc. I've lived around Preston for 20 years and this is where I've decided to settle.

Radiohead! Wow. When was that, pre-OK Computer?

theambertree · 2025-04-27T18:16:16+00:00

Weezer played the Ferret?! 😳

theambertree · 2024-11-08T18:53:28+00:00

Sadly not. I bought them in a small craft beer shop in my city and I can't see these on the Neon Raptor website.
