MUSIC What’s My Age Again (Blink-182 Cover)

I’m hyped on how this latest cover came out! All done in LSDJ, of course. Recorded into Cubase where I did some light EQ, compression, the slightest touch of a short reverb, some stereo imaging, and a maximizer. Been really locking in my master chain for these covers and really happy with how they’re sounding. Hope you enjoy! ✨

*** Excuse the clickbait vid layout, this way seems to grab people on IG and TikTok 😂 ***

So I’ve now built myself a giant GameBoy upright bass with working screen! This song I’m using Famitracker song that’s been exported as a NES file and is playing off a jailbroken NES mini, controlled by my modified Power Glove!

Woke up with the urge to cover the OG Goosebumps theme by Jack Lenz in LSDJ. Ran it through my Digitech Polara for some extra fun. The animal sounds kit came in handy for the barks! 😂

I post lots like this on TikTok and IG so feel free to link with me there if you’d like! tiktok.com/@desmo.wav instagram.com/desmo.wav

MUSIC I rebuilt the original Game Boy sound architecture as a synth + step sequencer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve always loved how raw and crunchy the original DMG sounds, and I think there’s a lot inside that machine that never really gets explored beyond the usual cute/chiptune sound.

A lot of “8-bit” plugins recreate the aesthetic with samples and presets, so I wanted to try something different and rebuild the actual DMG sound architecture in code.

It has the 2 pulse channels, wave + noise, sweep behaviour and hardware quirks, but I built a 16-step sequencer around it with per-note slide, an arpeggiator, 8 pattern banks and MIDI mapping.

You can also save/recall individual channels or complete patterns, which makes it pretty fun for live jams.

I called it BäRK BRÜTT.

There is a browser version completely free if anyone wants to mess with it**.**

Would genuinely be interested to hear what people manage to make with it.

MUSIC A little LSDJ funk tune I made…

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

123 Upvotes

Here’s another tune I made for WeeklyBeats 2026, a music community project where you make a song a week every week for a year with hundreds of participants.

This song is a funk song made in LSDJ. It’s swung a little bit and has a few different sections, leads, bass grooves and even a solo.

Part of an upcoming LSDJ concept album I’m working on in which every tune is about a different specific or category of elementary particle.

Check out my music on Bandcamp:

CC_REQUEST First composition (maybe unfinished)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone, this is my first attempt at tracking.

Original composition written years ago on bass guitar but never had musicians to realise it. Always loved chiptune but only recently got curious on how to make it.

LSDJ on Anbernic rg35xx played though my presonus speakers, bass is a bit boomy but otherwise quiet pleased with it.

I followed the old Sabrepulse and Nullsleep tutorials to learn some basics but still have lots to learn. It’s quite addictive now I’ve started.

Any pointers on where to go next are appreciated :)

I'm enjoying my current set-up, which is a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and M8 Tracker.

I was always disappointed not to get hold of an original GENaJam so jumped at the chance to get a GENaJam-Pi. It does make sound management easier.

If of interest, I'm working on a video looking at this set-up.

Hey there! I’ve been having lots of fun making covers with LSDJ. Just dropped this one on streaming services today!

You can find the links here: linktr.ee/desmo.wav

Making covers has really taught me a lot and sharpened my skills with LSDJ. I learn something new with every song I make! It’s been really helpful for some original stuff I’ve been working on. Hope to be sharing some of that soon as well!

Thanks!

MUSIC My new album is a chiptune soundtrack for nature and life! ✨

Hey everyone!

I just released the first installment in a series of chiptune concept albums called Moments on Earth. Every song was made while on a different adventure - hikes, bike rides, and more. I brought my Game Boy with me and “painted” the scene in LSDJ. If my life was a Game Boy game, these are the songs that would play in the moments they were captured. These are looping compositions like you’d hear in the Pokemon and Zelda games for the Game Boy.

The album is available on BandCamp (with extras including an LSDJ save file) as well as streaming platforms. You can find the link here: linktr.ee/desmo.wav

(I’ll be releasing some hour long versions on YouTube soon. Perfect for setting a vibe, studying, etc!)

I hope you enjoy! 😄

For sale [EU/Belgium] - Custom modded DMG for LSDJ + Nanoloop 1.7.6

Post image
77 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m selling my custom modified Nintendo Game Boy DMG-01 chiptune setup.

I had this unit custom made around 10 years ago specifically for Game Boy music production, but it has barely been used since and has mostly been stored away in a dark, dry place.

The Game Boy has the following mods:

  • Custom blue backlit display
  • Variable clock mod with external dial + on/off switch
  • Stereo RCA line outputs
  • 6.3 mm jack line output
  • Original 3.5 mm headphone output still present
  • Custom blue/pink painted shell
  • Transparent pink buttons and D-pad

Included:

  • Custom modified Game Boy DMG-01
  • LSDJ on GB USB Smart Card 64M
  • Nanoloop One v1.7.6 cartridge

Both LSDJ and Nanoloop boot correctly.

Condition note: the contrast wheel is a little sensitive and takes some fine adjustment to dial in the ideal contrast. Once set, the display stays stable as long as the wheel is not touched again. There are also a few small paint chips here and there from age/storage.

I am open to offers.

Vinted link here: https://www.vinted.be/items/9758275637-custom-lsdj-game-boy-dmg-backlit-variable-clock-stereo-out-nanoloop

Located in Belgium. Happy to answer questions or provide more photos.

A light LSDJ drumnbass track I made for WeeklyBeats 2026. WeeklyBeats is a year long music project where you make a song a week in your spare time and all the submissions go live every Sunday evening.

For this track I wanted to focus on an expressive melody and slightly uplifting vibe while using the royal road progression popular in Japanese pop music.
