    So here is a very simple circuit that you can use to synchronise Nanoloop (for the Nintendo Game Boy) to a MIDI clock source (such as a sequencer or a drum machine).

    This circuit works and has been tested, but of course I can’t guarantee that if you build it, it will work. At any rate, at least you won’t be wasting much money because the only component that is needed is the 4017 IC, which cost me about $1.

    Also congrats on his wedding!

  • PSPSeq Tutorials Online, Complete

    icon0-largeEthan has uploaded the last of his extremely throughout PSPSeq tutorial videos. He writes:

    Hey everyone, I just finished uploading and annotating the last 5
    tutorial videos.  You can watch all of them here:

    http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=AAB442BCA7F841C4

    I’ll also be putting them up on my webpage in 480×272 format for
    playing directly on the PSP but they’re not there yet.  Once they are
    you can grab them here:

    I’ll be adding a few more over time; probably one just playing some of
    the demo songs to show what the program can do, another where I’ll try
    and quickly compose something neat in < 10 minutes, and a few that
    will cover tips and tricks for using the program.

    The program is very deep, but with great power comes great complexity. Well worth viewing!
