Low A "rest note" glitch tutorial - Mario Paint Composer

[Bbwalldude]

How did you play the B? Is there a way to play bass clef notes?

[DrSuperMarioMan6464]

The problem is, most of my notes end up being too short to start with! Still, great information.

[Welytomm]

Thanks! This is very useful for me.

[starfoxfangirl]

This is a very useful glitch for soundfonts with longer notes. It's much more convenient then lowering the volume of the next note (when songs aren't in dickspeed).

[24canidkasi]

@starfoxfangirl like: Shy guy, car and piranha plant

[technoguyx]

Thanks for uploading this video - I had to learn this to mute notes with the Hard Rock II soundfont. :)

[Werwolf2x]

is this really a glitch? looks like a regular program feature to me ^^

[MushroomSoupPoop]

It is fail, you can shorten notes by dragging the green bars down lol Fail. Try it it works. no more glitching to do something youdont even have to use glitches to do. LOL XD

[theshoe124]

@MushroomSoupPoop That's the volume. Your comment is pathetic.

[RealMenDontWearShirt]

@MushroomSoupPoop Actually, decreasing the volume mutes everything on that line. Using the Low A glitch only mutes the not that you used the glitch on and lets other notes play.

[RealMenDontWearShirt]

When I do this with the boat, it doesn't work...

[poap555]

Lol

[Typhlosionable]

FAIL

[Blaktar32]

@Typhlosionable why is it fail?!?

[Typhlosionable]

@Blaktar32 because glitches and bug's are fails in a game in my eyes :P

[VD913]

@Typhlosionable This is an epic win! Are you kidding? If you find a bug, you exploit it to the best of your ability!

[hookonsonic2]

Thanks. This will make my Japanese Sonic X theme song MUCH better.

[supermario4112]

O_O I LOVE TAT SHOW

[omgshadowisgay]

:O me too!

[MileProwersFan]

thisll make my compistion of sonic 2 metropolis zone much better

[MileProwersFan]

@MileProwersFan I lost the file >_>

[powerpc127]

Soooo... how is this any different than just putting a heart with a volume knob all the way down?

[TheNewMightyChalaza]

Because when you put the volume all the way down, it mutes every note on that line, not just the heart.

[Kenton1008]

how do i swing the notes?

[sylvielmna]

You'd put the song into 3/4 time (Because swing notes are really made of triplets, right? :)) and then set the tempo to three times the desired tempo. Each line will be a 8th triplet. (I'm a complete n00b with MPC but I think that's how you'd do it) :)

[SweeneysDevil]

how do you make sharp or flat notes? im trying to make a song but i cant get flats or sharps in it :(

[GTAStaffman]

with Ctrl left and the button above it

[pivoterkiller]

THX SO MUCH =)))))))))

[not1so2secret3agent]

My brother says "To make a note sharp, hold down Shift while placing the note. To make the note flat, hold down Ctrl instead."

[BlazeCyndaquil]

Ctrl+Click for flat, and Shift+Click for sharp.

[Thunderbirdmagic183]

for sharo click "ctrl=shift" then click where you wanna put itfor flat, do ctrl=alt, in the same step, click both before you lay the note

Im working on "waking the demon from bfmv

im doing the bridge...its got alot of sharp/flat notes so thats the only way i know, lol

[Ayden279]

try holding ctrl or alt

[tuberman2500]

great melody

[HankTheHedgehog]

Stacatto :D

[TheMeatBun]

very useful

[TheMeatBun]

very useful

[donrex1943]

Staccato Notes! I hate those on the upper register of the Bb Clarinet, They always come out wrong 4 me!

[ElRegrs]

Wow. I had no idea this glitch existed. Very useful information.

[crystal0angel]

so what thats no gltch its how u do it hahaha omg rubish someone played that game put the cat on and it made a low uuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm demonic sound

[Friend5545]

STACCATO!

[Trogdorwillrise]

Hey, I remember this other glitch from the really old version of Composer...

Now, I know I'm not totally deluded, but I remember this glitch where, if you clicked the last button (i.e. the one that lengthens the piece; the button is staff-shaped), if there were already notes in the start of the song, they'd show up after the piece has been lengthened; when it tried to play those straggling notes, it spawned a barrage of infinite error windows until the program was terminated...

[Trogdorwillrise]

No, wait, it was Sequencer.

Nevermind.

[rayz0rz]

Mmh... I'll have to watch this video through properly when I get some time... Great tutorial!^^

[randoguy101]

THANKS

[dekusnake]

coolshit!

[rabinoseddi]

i dont get how you put these # or b in...:(

someone help me plz...

[Dfork46]

# is a high note, b is a flat note.

to do a high note, hold shift when you place the note, to do a flat note, hold control when you place the note. i hope i helped you.

[RenegadeMaster456]

to be correct

# is a SHARP

i wood only know that because im a band geek... i love doing my chomatic scale though... its fun :)

[Dfork46]

Lol, thanks for pointing out my mistake =D

[kutturkuttur]

hate chromatic. . . always fail at it -.-

[ticool4]

# = shift

b = crtl

[tenta01]

THAT helped me a lot!! Thanks a lot guys!

[Aanuld]

@Sephiroth3782

I'd like to know also.

[sephiroth3782]

i heard someone that theres a new version of mario paint composer where you could put on volumes for individual notes and have 6 things on a beat or something. Is this true?

[funkymonkey494]

There is. They have new notes, like the pirhana, boo, coin, and shyguy. But I think it overwrites your old mario paint composer, becuz I can't find my old songs(it doesn't transfer over...)

[outlawjrj]

Make a folder and move your songs to there. Delete your old Marip Paint files so there's nothing left. Download it again. Make a couple songs and find those. Write down the folder name. Move your songs to that folder.

[littlemarca]

can u hold a note??

[benben287287]

only cars can hold notes

[dragonboyjgh]

thanks was having trouble with green tambourine, this should help with my prob.

[alonsocba]

Hey, as you put some sticks on the side of the figure?

[Tojso09]

sorry, i added one response that is useless. i clicked the add response button a little too quickly.

[Tojso09]

Testing with this glitch here, it's really no different than a note with no volume on it.

For those who don't know, the volume is the green vertical bar at the bottom that can be altered easily.

In fact, using a note with no volume makes it easier to figure out which beats are unusable.

[LoloGuru]

The major difference is that you can place actual notes over the resting note, making it so that other instruments can start on the rest beats as I showed. If you use volume control for rests instead, that wipes out the possibility of placing notes that are supposed to make noise there. Both methods of resting have their advantages at times, so knowing both is certainly better than knowing just one.

[Tojso09]

ok. thanks for the clarification.

[retrogamer500]

I've noticed that before, but I have never really used it, it was more of a nusance for me.

[TiaKatt]

Easy 5, the little quirks and tricks of MPC are a ton of fun and open a lot of possibilities for songs! Thanks for sharing this tutorial =)

[cat333pokemon]

Thanks for that! This could be very useful in some of my videos!

[KarmaJolt]

After watching this, I feel like such an amateur... :P

[RehdBlob]

Yup. This glitch was VERY useful in Booster's Railroad. (the last part)

[doolittlesy]

i am sure everyone here saw interactive magician and was pissed at how he changed the card suits so i made a video that is basically the same except it exaggerates his cruddy trick

[axelrod777]

I remember you taught me this... it's EXTREMELY useful. I remember trying to teach this to people and having difficulty explaining it but now I can just refer them to this video.

There is a way to rest the low Bb and the high C# though, and that involves the old method of placing a high C# after the one you want to rest and turning down the volume fully.

[Matmax14]

when you hold the button to make # notes while doing the glitch there will be funny sounds^^btw.good tutorial 5/5^^

[RehdBlob]

LOL

[LoloGuru]

One thing I was going to mention in this video but forgot... If you're adept in editing the .txt files of your songs directly, a low A heart is written as O17++++++. Since the first digit is the symbol, and the plusses are the volume, the 17 is what you need to remember when you go edit. =P
