The Unexpected, Inexpensive and Portable Generative Setup

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Fascinating atmospheric sounds, love it 👍

[@audiowanderer]

Hey! Glad that you liked. CDM blog did an article about it cdm.link/2024/09/nintendo-ds-generative/

[@ilikeitdark13]

Wow that is cool. I would love to have a handheld gaming device in my setup!

[@audiowanderer]

Go ahead! Get a Nintendo DS is super cheap and offers lot of sonic possibilities.

[@NoiseCommander3DS]

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I am also developing a music app, for the 3DS instead though. Will definitely check that one out.

[@NoiseCommander3DS]

Dang, I could not make it run on the 3DS. It does look pretty cool though

[@sooperheep]

@@NoiseCommander3DS did you run with citra I believe it’s called which runs Ds games on the 3ds? Could try an r4 card as well

[@sooperheep]

Sorry twilight is the Ds emulator

[@NoiseCommander3DS]

@@sooperheep ah, no I gave up very quickly. I tried the DS forwarder, I think it uses twilight. I do have a dsi with R4 card actually, maybe I should use it instead

[@audiowanderer]

You can always get a second hand NDSlite, they are pretty cheap

[@wiggesobk]

Nice Setup!

[@audiowanderer]

Hi, Wigges! Dankeschön!

[@reidfamilydroid]

I do like budget portable setups!

[@audiowanderer]

Me too! Enjoy this one ☝️

[@SonicVibe]

Nice 👍

[@audiowanderer]

Thanks! 🙏

[@plugexpert]

cool!

[@audiowanderer]

You are!

[@onesuavestudio]

what do you use to get the rom on the DS? do u have a preferred card?

[@audiowanderer]

Using a R4 cartridge

[@hellf.o]

Absolutely great! How to run it on an emulator? Is this even possibile? Github rom?

[@audiowanderer]

Sure! Just get the cellsDS.nds and the folders needed to run the program from here: github.com/clone45/cellsds

[@hellf.o]

How to apply your generative seq script? Thanks a lot!

[@audiowanderer]

Never tried on an emulator, but the problem with cellsDS is that apart from the NDS file that is the only file played by an emulator it needs several folders to work.

[@audiowanderer]

When you have running cellsDS go to script by pressing select then, if you placed the scripts properly in its folder, you will see this new scripts. Press A to load one of those scripts and experiment with it

[@nayzal]

this is so cool! how exactly do the logistics of something like this work?

[@audiowanderer]

I’m not sure of what do you mean ? Nintendo DS is playing sequences with randomized elements through the Pandora PX4 that apply reverb, delay, etc and loop some parts of those sequences.

[@nayzal]

@@audiowanderer right, my apologies, what I mean is more so things like recording, whether you do any post-production or anything of that sort, etc.

[@audiowanderer]

@nayzal not really. This was directly recorded on the OBS while streaming live on twitch. Audio captured via soundcard, just 2tracks (stereo). Audio normalize on the Vegas when editing the material and that’s all.

[@nayzal]

@@audiowanderer ohh, I see! thanks =)

[@audiowanderer]

You welcome 🙏 Thanks for watching and comment

[@Loafi4Laif]

How do I install it, add only the .nds file? or Pass the Entire Folder?

[@audiowanderer]

You will need the NDS file the script and the sound folder

[@tuerry]

i can't seem to find a good comprehensive guide on how to install cellsds. any tips?

[@audiowanderer]

You need to have your nds hacked so you can run unofficial software there. R4 is a very easy way to do that it’s just a cartridge with an SD card slot. Then place the cellsDS.NDS and the rest of the files and directories you’ll need to run the program on the SD card, boot up the handheld and select cellsDS.NDS(must be on the root directory if a remember correctly). The lua script must go into the script folder. And you’re done ✅
