What it is
LSDJ, or Little Sound Dj, is a Game Boy music sequencer built around the console's 4-channel, 4-bit sound. Listed features include dual sample playback, a waveform synthesizer, and speech, with sync options for analog, Game Boy, MIDI, and VST. The site offers a ROM image and manual, along with a save-file manager, a sample patcher for adding user samples, and player versions.
