GP2X Gp2x Metronome

[isaksson]

as a drummer and a father to a guitarist, i love to use my gp2x as a metronome
with features like

- Tap in tempo
- Tempo set in steps of 1
- Two click sounds plus the human voice count
- Rich array of patterns include 8 beat, 16 beat, Rock, Funk, Big Beat, House, Reggae, Hip-Hop, R&B, Disco, Dance, Jazz, 3/4, 6/8, 5/4, and 7/4.

heh, i would like to see this as well actually, it would be really useful as a musician myself. especially since i lost my metronome.

Get a Nintendo DS and WarioWare Touched. Play through it till you get the metronome toy.

 

[torpor]

i predict you'll have this pretty soon, maybe this week even ..

 

[isaksson]

things a movieng fast in the GP2X world right now so i guess you are right,
time will tell.

 

[subin]

that's if a dev can be bothered..

i hope they can

I'd like to see a guitar tuner. I have one on my iBook that works pretty well with the built-in mic. I wonder if there is someway to use the gp2x's speakers as a mic...
could make for some DS type games too

While I know of the headphone to mic trick (IT'S STUPIDLY SIMPLE: headphone to mic socket, and use the left speaker), I can tell you right now not knowing anything about the hardware: nope, not going to work. However, it might be possible later to plug in a mic, but really, the GP2X cannot do EVERYTHING... [sarcasm]I want a N64 and DC emulator too please[/sarcasm]

I'm hoping people will pick the gp2x up as a potential portable music tool. A metronome is a nice start, but add a guitar tuner then a basic drum sequencer and it gets a bit more useful! Then add a simple ppattern sequencer and the skys the limit!

A guitar tuner and a metronome would be very useful to me too.

 

[racoon]

Maybe as an utility included in the FruityLoops2x

Someone said he's gonna look into a loop creation tool, I hope someone really does code one as it would be simply amazing....

And well, I think, the GP2X CAN do (almost) everything .

Metronome and drum machines are nice, but how in the world would you arrange a guitar tuner without a microphone?

​

could you not just have tones played at the right frequency? ie, one for the E string, then A, then D etc. it's better than nothing, and the microphone thing apparently won't work ever.

rixor, you're a dev right.. how about you code a metronome

You can tune the guitar(or other instruments) by sound, so the GP2X has to play E-B-G-D-A-E.

You really should tune from the bottom up

You could use a usb based microphone or audio device with usb host mode. Lots of options

I tuned your mom from the bottom up.

...you're right though. <_<

And yeah, just making a pitch pipe would with accurate tones would work as a tuner. Cool to have actual sampled sounds too, as opposed to just a PC speaker beep at the right frequency.

​

sounds like someone uses those pretty led tuners too much. you should learn to do it by ear, depending on how good you get at that you can actually be faster/more accurate than the tuner. but the led ones are nice, i'll admit....they definitely make band setups go quicker.

A basic sequencer would be awesome... just imagine making your own chip music while on the train/bus/airplane... isn't there a sequencer for the GBA? Should be possible with the hardware of the GP2X then... maybe even some effects or synthetizer features.

 

[Yuglooc]

I think there was one for the GP32 too, so it really is entirely possible.
