Fun with DSMIDIWiFi

[readrose0]

wat's an IP Address?

[shigalbigal]

damn you're really good at this!

[poilkjmn1]

wow. if it was me or my sister it would take years of practice to get the music jammin' like that.

[bumr055]

Thats an amazing application! Your really good at playing keyboard with a stylus too that cool!

[kalleggtk]

whats the first song called?

[imperialpod]

WOW.

I was wondering does the DS Keyboard software run standalone without an external synth?

Not that its not great, its bloody excellent, but I'd like to know if you can jam with it not using a computer or synth module but with internal sounds?

Cheers.

[darkzoneJay]

lol at all the linux discussion..lol at the end..it s linux rofl .. but i don t mind,i like the 8bit sound in the back.

[MUFFINWRATH]

I love this but for some reason i can only use it when the wifi router is connected to the internet. This is slightly annoying as that means cant really use it live.

Anyone else have this problem?

[mudoctave223]

you should look into the stylus you can wrap around your finger, you could use two pretty easy then.

[sicness910]

i like open suse 11.1

[SuperRiderTH]

LOL Im using Ubuntu!!!!

[Friend5545]

ubuntu rocks :D

[danielmpr]

Is that Linux?

[Dragonsummon1]

yes its linux ubuntu its free!

[keroiskeir]

looks like gnome to me.

[Newkiller]

It's Gentoo with Gnome...

[BV93630360JUAN]

Thats pimp

[callmepaul]

This is pretty tight, u should post instructions somewhere, but can anyone hook me up a source to get the program n make it work

[koolkid9997]

[koolkid9997]

YAY i fixed it i had some programs running at the same time (uses lan) and it wasa a logger and stuff so i closed it :)

[koolkid9997]

y y y y y y y

why ? :(

[D3nn0s]

How u change sound?

Like from piano to guitar?

[legomad]

how do you download applications to the ds? Ive always wondered.

[ArlenAwesome]

you need a flashcart.

[bluesrunthegame]

There's a device driver from steinberg for windows to cut down on latency.

[RoboTronSonneuse]

that's coool!!!

really good skills on little screen by the way 0___0

[d0pefish]

Thanks!

[tulud]

weak

[ALAPAT1]

Incredible! You're running Linux! Is that Ubuntu?

[d0pefish]

Thanks :) That's Gentoo Linux - video was taken a long time ago though, my system's changed a lot since.

[JCKC]

uau!! Really good!

[d0pefish]

Thanks!

[lyokoboy00]

thanks

[Yoshiboy4ever]

i play better with my thumbs, i push wrong keys with the stylus :/

[skatex332]

how did u connect it?

[Yoshiboy4ever]

you take your wifi game, set wifi connections to a wireless router, test connection, if connetion works continue/if it does not repeat the 2 previous steps, then start the dsmidiwifi on your computer and the ds keyboard thing on your ds, it will connect automatically

[d0pefish]

Thanks a lot guys :)

[mayhemtv]

unbeliveable! badass!

[xlemuelx]

Damn your good

[shidad]

what is this song I WANT IT BADLY

[YySamsungyY]

wow you are very good! wow! pretty nice! well done!

[d0pefish]

Thankyou! :)

[YySamsungyY]

no problem =)

[chizley]

What can i use with windows to do this

[chizley]

So umm can i send things to my sd wirelessly?

[troy1002x]

could you play internet games on the ds too whitout connecting the ds to a computer please tell me please!!!>>??

[d0pefish]

The only way to do it without connecting to a PC is to have a wireless router in the house. :)

[troy1002x]

thanks for the information :)

[scorpioTNT]

i managed to download the stuff. but is there seriously only one soundeffect? i only heard the piano. and on top of that the sound didnt come from my ds but my pc screen-_-

[d0pefish]

In the video, the sound is coming from my PC too. Just grab more SoundFonts or different synthesizers to control. Theres thousands of different things you could potentially use.

[scorpioTNT]

thanks for your feedback. but while you were typing these replies i was already going back to nitrotracker cause i thought dsmidiwifi sucked a bit. although your skills at playing on it rocked and thats why it makes everyone eager to get this homebrew:P

[d0pefish]

Thanks!

[scorpioTNT]

would you say this homebrew is better then nitrotracker?

[d0pefish]

The apps serve different purposes and are by the same author. Depends what you wanna do. Nitro now includes DSMIDI support so you can use your DS as a sequencer basically.

[aaronas11]

you can play that ds keyboard pretty good!

[machriderx]

Does this work with a router? I use a router with wireless support. It's hooked up in my brothers room with his computer. Will this work if I run the DSMIDIWifi server on my computer?

[d0pefish]

Yes, in fact the setup in the demonstration is through a wireless router with my PC attached by Ethernet cable. You should be fine :)

[JamzPkz]

how to get this and where to download

[whatare0o0o]

is that on the ds?

[Born2killx]

Seems like you've had some practice. ;)

[Blackdrake1]

WHere do you get this program I want to use it on my Nintendo DS.

[BrennyO]

superb - played live with it yet?

[d0pefish]

No; I've never done anything of the sort (gigs etc) - I wouldnt really know where to start to get into that.

Would be cool to do though. :)

[dago2]

wow ur really good at it

[trevmister8]

i know you said it is not very good with windows but can u plz answer the following?

1) can it work with a router?

2) where can i get the software and it work with windows

3) is it legal

4) is it free?

5) do i need any extra equipment?

PLZ PM THE ANSWERS

[ilikegames2]

ur an idiot

how can it be ilegas

suck it

[trevmister8]

:| dude... I don't know much about this kinda crap :|

[LINK22134]

trevmister, Homebrews are not illegal, they are created by other users.

[trevmister8]

IC... Is it roms and emulations I'm thinking of then?

[d0pefish]

- so zero latency when keyjamming for example. There's the classic Paula sound which people swear by and love... it's all personal preference and what is right for you - personally, I will keep my Amiga. :)

[d0pefish]

If doing chiptunes the modern way is what you want to do, Linux, Windows, even MacOS will all perform the same; we have multiplatform MilkyTracker, GoatTracker (for SID tune creation), SchismTracker, etc.

The Amiga, however, offers all the original ProTrackers, AHX, and recently HivelyTracker if you have a high-end Amiga. The latter two are designed for making chiptunes. I will always prefer to use my trusty Amiga for chipmusic - there's no audio drivers involved

[rundata]

MODPLUG Tacker is also a great one i find, (But messy) But its nice to me lol

[d0pefish]

There's no hardware wave synthesis going on. People are calling tunes made on modern computers "chiptunes" because of what they sound like, when really there's nothing "chip" about them. We're using software samples of tiny looping waves - that gives us the chip sound - rather than the original way of the sound chip generating waves.

So, back to your question, it's apples and oranges, really! :)

[d0pefish]

from years ago. Back then, you couldn't use realistic recorded sounds or samples; all you had to play with was what the chip could do; eg. Nintendo NES only had square, triangle, and noise waves, plus a very low-res sample channel. It's what people did inside these limitations that gave us the chiptune sound.

These days we have 16bit full stereo multichannel sound cards. Chiptunes made on modern computers in say; MilkyTracker, are done completely in software.

[d0pefish]

Strange! YouTube didn't post my reply to you telling what the tune was! :( Anyway, yeah it's in the credits as you've found out. :)

I ended up writing 3x the amount YouTube allows for comments, so lets split it across a few posts:

I think the definition of what a chiptune is has changed over the years. These days, chiptunes or chipmusic aren't really chiptunes in their original meaning, which was music made by using the simplistic synthesizer chips in the computers and games consoles from

[bakapus]

Sorry for doublepost. :/ Youtube is crazy these days.

And I'm even more sorry for not watching the credits before asking. :#

Btw, do you think Linux is a better enviroment for making chipmusic than the good ol' Amiga?

[bakapus]

What music is played at the first of the vid? I smell some great chiptunes! :D

[bakapus]

What music is played at the first? :3 That's some great chiptunes!

[RikATnl]

srry for double post, youtube is verry confusing because sometimes the posting don't works and sometimes it does right. :/

[d0pefish]

Yeah, I get this problem too, as does bakapus above, it seems... :( damn youtube.

[RikATnl]

you cheater! ;D

no j/k :p

this program makes me want a nds more *thinks about buying one* :D

[RikATnl]

wow this is verry cool .. wanna have this..

Did anyone notice that he is using a pen instead of a stylus ?:P

[d0pefish]

Thanks! :)

Actually it was a stylus, but not the standard DS stylus :) I was using my PDA's stylus as it was easier for me to play the keyboard with! :D

[RikATnl]

YOU d*mn cheater !!! ;D no j/k it's ok :P

[Andy81m]

absolutly great on this small keyboard with touchscreen

[alexislolorabit]

congratulation....

[tommitytom]

Would be great to see this controlling your MIDIBox SID :)

[d0pefish]

You've convinced me! Great idea. :) I'll find some free time sometime this coming week, finish the next stage of the MIDIbox, and control it with the DS.

In fact, the new version of NitroTracker is out, now with DSMIDIWiFi connectivity. I wonder if I could sequence something using NitroTracker and play it back on the SID...

[tommitytom]

Yeah I love the new NitroTracker :) Make's long train journeys a lot more fun :)

[dighty]

fuck sake thats cool !!

[Pangster008]

That was great! You're great! ^^

[d0pefish]

beefychew & Pangster008:

Thanks very much, you guys! :O

Maybe I should do more at some point! :D

[beefychew]

OH MY FUCKIN GOD! YOUR WELL COOL! where did you get it from?

[TheDiscoKing]

Nice demo, I'm so excited by this software, the possibilities are awesome for me. I just need to get myself the stuff to run homebrew on my ds, i'm very short of cash at the moment so maybe after xmas!

[d0pefish]

Good luck with getting homebrew equipment! I am using a Supercard MiniSD, which is probably one of the chepest and easiest ways to get homebrew running.

[TheDiscoKing]

thanks for the heads up. I'll hopefully get it going soon.

[profox111]

And how did you put the video together? did you use a linux program for that?

[d0pefish]

Unfortunately no; I used Premiere to do that under Windows. I need to look at editing apps for Linux; that's on my to-do list. :)

[profox111]

Cinelerra is supposed to be the best, but it's big and not so very stable.. and it looks weird.. but it has a very big list of features though..

[kcomputer99]

that was amazing! great job man

[d0pefish]

Thankyou! :D

[falcuz]

you're good with the piano. (even on ds xd)

I prefer the guitar ^^

[d0pefish]

Thanks! :) I'm magnitudes better with a real piano keyboard for obvious reasons, but the coolness factor compensates somewhat. ;D Glad you liked it. :)
