  • The Analogue Pocket is hands down the best GameBoy I could think of. Lemme know if I should do a full video on making music with it, including MIDI support, LSDJ, all the Nanoloops etc...
    If you enjoy this video, maybe check out some of my other stuff as well?
    Or subscribe and see me miss my Jamuary uploads day after day? Oh the fun you could have!

    I do plan on making a video dedicated to making music with the Pocket, trying out the MIDI in, how it sounds with LSDJ and the different Nanoloop carts etc. If you have any question, leave a comment.

      Nanoloop on the Pocket is pretty much the GBA NL2 but it sounds cleaner/better.
