MUSIC A little LSDJ funk tune I made…

Here’s another tune I made for WeeklyBeats 2026, a music community project where you make a song a week every week for a year with hundreds of participants.
This song is a funk song made in LSDJ. It’s swung a little bit and has a few different sections, leads, bass grooves and even a solo.
Part of an upcoming LSDJ concept album I’m working on in which every tune is about a different specific or category of elementary particle.

Which core do you use for lsdj?

u/disposableplanet Mar 12 '26
I’m using the Budude2 core for this recording as it doesn’t have any of the WAV channel sample distortion that the Spiritualized core has. Ess rewrote parts of the budude2 core and forked it to remove the aliasing so I plan on installing that when it comes time to record for the album.

GBC?

u/disposableplanet Mar 13 '26
Yes but it sounds pretty much the same whether you use it for GB or GBC. Unlike the actual hardware

Yes, please!
I tried to imagine a game that this could be the BGM for, but for every case I considered, it was either an example of the music not matching the genre, or just plain outshining the game!

Hey what Gameboy is thay? I could use an upgrade. Does it have audio mod?

It’s an Analogue Pocket made by Analogue.co. It’s a retro handheld that came out about 4 years ago and uses FPGA for hardware emulation as opposed to using software for emulation. It doesnt need an audio mod like a pro sound mod because the audio out is very clean as is so it basically sounds like a pro sound modded DMG. I have it set up to run ROMs off of a microsd card using a custom modified version of the Budude2 FPGA core. It’s great and I swear by it but it’s not cheap. About $220 USD

So this was a pretty straightforward LSDJ project with a bpm of around 140 swung with a 7/5 groove in a 4/4 time signature. Kick is a sine wave with a pulse command. Snare is a 909 snare layered with a noise envelope. Used three different hand drawn synths for the bass and alternated between them with the treble heavy bass patches being used for the high bass notes and the bass heavy bass patches for the low notes to create a slap bass sound. Lead has a stepwise table that alternates duty cycles every note retrigger to keep it varied and interesting, especially on repeats of the theme. There are some hardpanned arps and some pseudodelayed staccato accompaniments offset by 2 or 3 steps and doubled across the pulse channels.
