This has been really good so far, and it’s very well written. However, I only got up to this point and then found a sentence fragment: ”Whatever your implementation of a kick is, how an actual kick drum makes noise and how you can best replicate the kick in LSDJ using commands.”
-
okay, this has been a really good read. I look forward the ones that go more in depth into theory and stuff. I also like to use noise kicks as much as possible, since that’s what I grew up hearing in video games, haha. The only criticism I have is that it’s a bit hard to read the commands when they are given in such a disjointed way. It could…[Read more]

Nice article! My only gripe is that I believe Q represents resonance, not distortion. While it’s probably not a big worry, I think it’ll make understanding the WAV channel a bit easier for people who know their way around a synthesizer but aren’t as familiar with LSDJ.
-
You’re correct, Q represents resonance. The higher the Q value, the more resonance you have on the wave. The cutoff value affects the frequency at which the resonance occurs.

Derp, shall fix. Half of this was written when I thought I was dreaming after I fell asleep with my laptop in my lap.

hope you can tell us how to tune notes to just tuning and solfeggio frequencies. indian music is sort of cool too. is a 19 tone scale possible (not equal temperment…)
-
You can create instruments in the Pulse channel and detune them using the detune command, also possible with very extreme V commands (try something like F4 to see what I mean). In the WAV channel something similar is possible with vibrato as well as awful combinations of distortion, filters, and cutoff
-
how do i know when i am exactly on 1185 hz?
-
The note will be a D6, and about 15 cents sharp if you check the tuning with a smartphone app or an app tuner.
