Sony PSP Rhythm Composer

Update: For those of you brave enough, there is a PSP OS 2.0 downgrade to 1.5 available via Make:. Just click the Make link for more. I ain't going to take the chance myself, so you are on your own. Good luck. : )

Update: Looks like it only works on OS 1.0 or OS 1.5. Will have to wait for higher than 1.5. My guess is they skip 1.52 for 2.0 as it should hit any time now.

Update: Changed URL to homepage for the software (last link had horrible pop-ups!). Also not having any luck getting it going. I get corrupt data file on my PSP. I have OS 1.52. Need to dig a little more...

Whoah. I will definitely need to check this out.

PSP Rhythm Composer is a TR-x0x style drum machine. It features a easy to use
16 step sequencer, 16 drump pattern loops and 16 drum sounds.

-=How to use the drum sequencer=-

There are 16 buttons on the bottom of the screen. Each one represents a step
in a measure. There is a red line above the step currently selected. When you
press the X button the step will light up orange for regular sound, then red
for accented sound and green for flam (hits accented drum twice).

There is a bar above the buttons, the note represents each beat and whole
gray bar shows you which buttons (steps) are in that beat.

To change the drum sounds press up or down on the D-Pad. The currently
selected drum will display on the screen. The buttons on the bottom of the
screen will also light up and show you the programming of the drum hits.

Put drum hits where you like and hit Start to play the pattern.

-=Changing patterns=-

Each button on the bottom of the screen also corresponds to a pattern. If you
move the red selection bar above a button and hit the Triangle key the pattern
will change. There are 16 buttons and 16 patterns available. If the sequencer
is playing then the pattern will switch after the current pattern is done.

-=Using the Menu=-

When the pattern is not playing or in stop mode you can hit select to access
the menu. When in menu mode it will say MENU at the top of the screen.
Below is a list of menu options and how to use them:
