DS lite and MIDIbox SID-LC
Nintendo DS lite vs. Nintendo DS
(Click for more DS lite photos...)
Well, the photos of my Nintendo DS lite are up. Like the phoot above there are also comparisons to the original DS. The screen is amazingly better. There's almost no comparision... Oh, and the form of the device itself is much improved. The new one is so, so, so much nicer.
Also, last night I got that SID-based synth (which will hopefully become the for-sale MIDIbox SID-LC) to make its first sounds. At first I made this sample which has some background noise due to what I think is a bad SID. So, I then replaced the SID with a newer version one, supplied it with appropriate power, and got it to work. However, before I applied the proper firmware there was all manner of nifty glitchyness going on. Listen to this file right here for all the wonderful glitch: midibox_sid_first_-2.mp3
That was made by triggering a MIDIbox SID-LC prototype (stuffed with a MOS 8580R5) with an x0xb0x set to 'Random', occasionally switching back to keyboard mode and hitting a few keys.
