the clapper-_____'s thurible [GBA]

By trumbuthegn on December 31, 2022 7:25 pm

Courtesy of my newly acquired Analogue Pocket (Analogue? It seems very, very digital!) I was able to boot up my Game Boy Advance “Pocket Music” (by Jester Interactive) cartridge again. This must least intuitive music program I’ve ever tried, but the sample pool, although heavily 90s dated and with horrid sound quality, is actually pretty cool. Without a manual, I had to give up, but was able to get the samples out of it and in to Reason. If you wonder if I applied a bit-crusher to the master, I did not …the sounds are really that crusty!

That's the Game Boy Color version, which, I think, don't use samples, but the synth part of the chip, and thus is probably more useful and clearer sounding.

I now remember being quite disappointed when I got it, had no PC and thought it could be some kind of replacement for Cubase or something. But it was fun to boot it up again now.

The samples for the Eminem cover constitutes one of the folders inside, and have better samples than the SCRATH folder, so I used those. Quite an achievement by the developes to get the GBA to play something so reminiscent of the original!

Happy new year! Too bad it's a odd number year and thus no WB.


I had Jesters Music for the Playstation, it was the first music software I ever used and I still miss it, I'm sure I have the disc somewhere... Cool track and beat though, gotta get me one of them analogue pockets.

Thank you! The Playstation version was probably a bit more hifi?
