Golfing Greats 2 - Mode Select (MIDI)

I sequenced this quickly this afternoon during some downtime. Some things were tough; I found it difficult to discern all the layers of percussion, and the patch choices are less than ideal. I think there is one instrumental line missing entirely ('A`) Originally composed by Junya Nakano / 仲野順也, during his Konami years.

The game's music was never released on CD, however TECHNOuchi uploaded the entire soundtrack (with a composer breakdown!) on his channel here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAUHaKiWyXk. Lovely music (thanks again to Renulph for telling me about it.)

More things soonish, hopefully.

missingsoulproject (TECHNOuchi) liked this video 1 hour ago. Kudos!

@sonobl sweet :) glad he approves!

Its clear what the horizontal bars represent. But what are the swinging pendulums on the right?

[goniochromism]

@AgentMidnight they denote tonality/harmony in accordance with the cycle of fourths/fifths. notes most closely related to each other harmonically are the most alike in colour (for instance, C+F and C+G) and most unalike use opposite colours (C+F#) basically each colour represents a certain note on the chromatic scale and the colours denote how they are interacting. hope that helps.

Has that nice classic game sound, as it should. Nice transcription and production of the original song.

@AgentMidnight Besides color they are also spaced around the circle of fifths in their correct positions, and the collective "weight" of the pendulums turns the circle of fifths so that the approximate current key center is facing downwards (though this of course just a statistical guess)

[Renulph]

Great. =)

Only you would take a concept as simple as a Mode Select theme and turn it into a beast.

[MrMeshida]

such a seemingly simple melody, but you look at the video and it looks seemingly complicated.

Me: ?!
