Sounds interesting.  I may give this a shot if I get around to learning this anytime soon.

mannn its soooo cool ^^ i want to be on this compilation, i have to spend more time with this seq because im actually waiting for my lsdj cart...

Good point, http://groups.google.com/group/pspseq

Are you involved Flashbob?

Also it looks like we may have enough people for an EP at least so I am going to say go ahead with the tracks. My email is in my profile when you finish something so send it on over and we can release it somewhere appropriate when all is done.

Thats exactly what I was thinking of!

hah, you're talking about the PC beta version eh?  it's fairly old now but it does work.  i may put one out for version 3.01.  the big thing holding me back is that different keyboards have their own quirks.  it ran fine on my old dell laptop but i have all sorts of odd key sticking issues with my lenovo.

yeah, I am down... just hold off until I can purchase a psp. I am pretty sure a bunch of the hexawe kids will be down as well. We are probably all gonna get psps within 2 months of n0s porting the pig.

It might even be cool to do a pig vs pspseq comp......

That was going to be my next suggestion, Pure PSPseq for people to get the hang of the synthesis engine, then perhaps an Pig compilation with all samples from PSPseq?

I will shoot of an email to HS this morning acctually.

Edit, hang on on re reading that do you mean a mix of pure PSPseq and pure Pig? that would also be very cool, designed along a common theme or a free for all compilation? Or how about a track on each piece of software from each contributor? Either way, one I work through the 12 or 13 odd tutorials I have left, I am there.

yeah, I think if each contributer does one of each that would be awesome.

Well damn.  That means I have FOUR new trackers to learn now (mod2psg, TFM maker, PSPSeq and LGPT). =_=;;

If it makes it easier, pretend PSPseq is a step sequencer.

Yeah I never got why people call PSPSeq a tracker.  Just because it's ugly and confusing doesn't mean it's a tracker. 

what about some BOTB style with two rounds?

ROUND1 everyone makes sounds w/ pspseq
ROUND2 everyone makes tracks w/ lgpt

this would let some people w/o easy access to pspseq participate too

OTHERWISE i really like the 1track on each software from each participant idea.

what needs to happen to kick this jam out?

Is there an official lgpt release?

As for what it will take, I guess that's either up to either lazerbeat to say what the rules are or for us to just throw them out there and see if they stick.

In general it seems PSPSeq vs lgpt is the most popular idea, with each person contributing 1 track to each side of the equation (or if they only make a song using one of the apps, they're relegated to "bonus material").  I think it's a good idea - I'd rather do this than use PSPSeq as source material for lgpt (though of course your lgpt track could do that, but I don't want PSPSeq to just be a sample generating engine for the comp).

Since everyone is most likely new to at least one of the applications it probably makes sense to give some time for everyone to get up to speed.  Two months sound good?  I think much less than that and the quality will suffer.

Other than that, there's only a couple other bits and pieces to figure out.

1.  Do we release the data files with the songs?  I say yes to that - I think it's really important to do that.
2.  Artwork - maybe get two people to make something, one from the PSPSeq community and the other from lgpt?
3.  Where to release - obvious choices are hexawe and Running Jump.  Might not be a bad idea to put it in both places.
4.  Where to discuss the project - here, PSPSeq googlegroup, lgpt yahoogroup, #hexawe?  Easiest thing is probably to make a new post in this community with the full rules.  Any discussion on composition technique would go to the appropriate community and thoughts on the project in general stay here.

Anything else?  Whatcha thinking lazerbeat?

I also think forcing people to write for both might be a good idea.

Even if you only choose to write for one platform you'd still be able to participate, but writing for both would be highly recommended.

wurrrd, lets use force and mandate a track in each platform. that's where the interest lies for me, hearing what the same brain does with two different softs on the same hardware.

two months is more than enough time to learn a soft and bust some jams.

i just lack a psp, hmm ... *~best buy 30 day no questions return policy~*

im down

Well, sure it's a good idea but the port isn't even released yet, right? Then it's pretty much the same thing as having a rebirth vs pspkick compo or anything else of that effect.

PSP's are a bit more common than gp2x .

While I'm all down for the "each artist on both platforms" idea...
Wouldn't be too bad to have another hexawe compo with pspseq sample set, right?

Ill give this a whirl since im psp'd up as of now.

not sure how serious you are about this, but there are only certain PSPs you can load custom firmware/homebrew on.  what I'd recommend doing is hitting up craigslist for a used phat PSP and see if you can also get someone to put custom firmware on it.  total should be about $100 and if you don't like it you can always put it back up for sale and not lose anything.

FYI, I think we chatted at blipfest about PSPSeq for a bit.  you're the mp3death guy right?  If so, I showed you around PSPSeq for a few minutes.

Hi! 

hello! i do remember meeting you and thank you for running me through the basics ... i'm really impressed with the synthesis options in PSP seq which is something i miss from playing with LSDJ. and it was cool seeing you move around so quickly, i'm sure it'll be a while before i'm that proficient.

hmm, i was being serious about best buy ... better do some research! ideally i'd like a white slim 'n light, update the firmware, get a microSD->crazy sony adapter. i guess i'll take care of it this month so i can hack some shit up b4 the deadline.

also, pig n00bs may find these interesting:

no problem.  i designed PSPSeq to be navigated as quickly as possible.  that means there's a lot of shortcuts to learn, but once you get it it's quite fast to edit synths and build up songs.  it's really designed for "serious" users rather which can make it a little obtuse at first but trust me, it's worth learning.

yeah as far as i know the slim and lights can't be programmed with custom firmware.  all the 1st gen and most of the 2nd gen can be programmed easily once you know what you're doing.
