BSR1 Chiptune Music Tool
BSR1 is a live sampling device similar to Ableton Push for the Nintendo Gameboy. It can play a pre-composed beat overlaid with samples triggered using the Gameboy’s buttons. You can use it as a primary live performance tool, a companion to LSDj, or a drum machine. You can also assign buttons to change the stereo on certain channels, mute channels or mute everything. Fully configurable sound board with 81 live slots and 140 different samples and effects (stereo change in real time, mute channels, etc).
- 30 preset beats with optional bass lines.
- 5 different UI options with animation that matches the beat
- Change sample banks and beats in real time with no stopping of the music.
- LSDj sync ability for performance on multiple synchronous Game Boys (requires modification to LSDj song).
- Sequence mode lets you play a predefined run of notes fast by mashing any buttons.
- Save custom configurations for up to 3 songs, including sample layout, UI graphics and color palettes.
BSR1 is an excellent companion to LSDj on a 2nd Gameboy for live performance.
Upgrade to the pro version to make your own roms!
The demo version is fully operational (including LSDj sync) but will stop the music after playing 120 samples. You can just restart the beat and keep going however.
