    TIL that A Minor is all the white keys starting from A.
    The fact that C Major is literally all those exact notes just in a different order is fuckin' crazy.

    Why again do you always put your name in lowercase?

    I suppose it's mostly for the uniformity of how it looks. Gives an extra bit of solidarity to how it looks which gets lost when you capitalize one or both T's. As you maybe can imagine, writing it out as TAHUTOA also bothers me less than writing it as Tahutoa or TahuToa for this same reason.

    Perhaps it's related to how "a e s t h e t i c ." videos on YouTube's titles are always written out like how I just demonstrated, where to write it otherwise would make you feel like something was missing. Rather ironically, though, in the case of said example(s) I wouldn't actually care that much.

    Apparently, not only does Twisted feature sounds also heard in Mother 3 and Metroid: Zero Mission, but as I just discovered, it has at least two of the samples from Mario Party 2, albeit in compressed form. Namely, it contains the recorder, the brass hit (most recognized from "Duel!"). I believe there's a third sample as well, the seldom noticed Brass Ensemble, but I can't claim to know the sample well enough to recognize it with enough surety.
    There may be more then this, but I haven't come across them as of yet.

    Wait, really? That's kinda interesting. You should probably post about it with recordings of the samples to compare.

    I have some recordings of the Twisted samples that I took with Bandicam last week. If you add .mp4's to the list of Custom Files for attaching stuff I could put them in a thread, or a similar preexisting thread.

    Also, speaking of samples, that guy saladplainzone has all of the MIDIs from WarioWare, inc., which she somehow managed to convert from .gbs or whatever into actual .mid's (the proof of this being the MIDIs for 9 of the songs). I occasionally would remind her to post them on here as a resource, since they're technically an entire mini-archive of important documents, but she kept forgetting so I eventually stopped trying. If you contacted her on Discord maybe she would finally remember to go through with it, or at the very least make a tutorial on how she did it herself.

    Is there a name for that heavy, buzzy sound that is used as the bass channel in many NES games? From a video about how NES music works, I know it as the triangle wave. Yet, when I produce a pure triangle wave at a low frequency on a tone generator, it doesn’t sound like an NES bass at all. Do you know more?

    It's possible that the song(s) you're talking about have a 12.5% pulse as their bassline, rather than a triangle. Triangle waves are always smooth like that.

    does anyone know where i can find samples of the individual syllables for Drifting Away
    i'll settle for the uncompressed versions (a la Mega Party Games), but if you know where i can get the ones from in-game, puhLEAAZE tell meh

    In that rope-jumping minigame in WW:MM you can select the Drifting Away song to play, and it plays by one short bit at a time. Maybe this would be helpful? :shokorashrug:

    Maybe. I don't know for sure. Maybe I could put it into that one AI thing that separates vocals from instruments

    Well, gang, my main theory I'd had proved correct: I was able to locate the versions of them from Mega Party Game$ and make them sound like the Mega Microgames versions.

    The pest control people are currently checking up on the house right now, and one of them looks like John Mulaney. The other one looks like Kenny from South Park.

    Recently I found an extremely well-performed harpsichord cover of a music piece from Shovel Knight, and this got me thinking: have you ever considered using the harpsichord in one of your pieces? I know quite some game songs that would be really cool to use this instrument for as part of its soundfont.
    tahutoa
    tahutoa
    Actually you would call that instrumentation. The reason why they're called soundfonts is because much like regular fonts, they're different versions of the same things. And yeah, I have used harpsichord before, but outside of this song I've not used it for anything in a long while.

    Ah, yes. I remember that song.

    Anyway, here are some suggestions of VGM that could do great in harpsichord:

    Kirby: Castle Lololo
    Kirby: King Dedede’s theme
    DK: Toxic Tower
    DK: Snakey chanty
    NSMB Wii: Athletic theme
    Shantae: Burning Town
    Super Mario 64: Inside the castle walls

    There are without doubt many more, but this is all I can come up with for now.

    It is genuinely baffling how MIDI makers will get notes in the goddamn lyrics section wrong when that's the part everyone and their fucking mother knows. Just now, I heard an example of this in a demo mp3 for a MIDI published by the number one paid subscription MIDI service. How did they not get fired???

    Related: people who insert their own "artistic liberties" into their sequence that claims to be a song "recreated in MIDI" need to be fined. Like, that's false advertising, and second of all the artistic liberties you took (most likely) sound like shit, (so most likely) fuck you

    it's so weird to think that i've been using this same pseudonym for over half my life now
    i literally have to be reminded that toa tahu is who i am named for it's become so instinctual.
    tahutoa
    Considering that it plays in real time, following a MIDI sequence; how in the HELL does The Moon's Lamppost actually work?

    It's honestly really obnoxious how good of an investment having a "Door Closing" stick has been.

    i got a pair of studio headphones for Christmas, and Jesus Christ that's a lot of treble

    Does it have lots of bass too? I'd rather have a lot of that in my headphones. Most headphones aren't doing very well on this.

    Apparently the sound spectrum I'm hearing through these phones is supposed to be how headphones sound optimally. Rather obnoxiously, this causes some samples I use to feel a bit tinny when I have them open in FL. But yeah, the bass is about as good as my previous pair of regular headphones. It's just that there's more treble than there used to be.
    tahutoa
    tahutoa
    I'm happy to report that I'm now more-or-less used to them now, so the sound spectrum feels normal again. so, now i just have a pair of good-ass headphones :0-)
