I'm sorry if I did something wrong. It's a bit confusing to me how strict everything is here now. When I first registered to this forum
in 2007, everything was very loosy-goosey here. Maybe a bit too much. But now I'm surprised how much this have changed.

Anyways, is there somebody who'd like to take my request? I'd try it myself but I'm a pretty bad arranger and this song
sure seems difficult...

But this is still a request for a video game, right? That's why I posted it here. I actually don't care if it goes on the main site.
I think it's a great game and it should be treated like any other game!

Pokémon Uranium is the fangame everybody's talking about right now. As a faithful Pokémon player, I'm also playing it, and the music
is awesome! I especially like the Battle theme against a Wild Nuclear Pokémon. I have the Youtube video link here, and in the description of the video
there's a link to the MP3:


I hope someone is interested in this!

Thank you very much!

Woah, that was some lecture in music, and I think I didn't understand everything. What is an anacrusis?
Now that you almost completely changed it, is it still my arrangement?
#5
Sorry, I can't reply right away. Funny that some people still remember me. Unfortunately, I haven't that much time to contribute here,
although I'd like to.

Thank you Latios for the corrections. Is it good now?

A MIDI file was not uploaded."

But I selected a midi in the panel! What should I do now?

Thank you for your help!

*cough*...just download it on an underground website...*cough*

I apologise! ;D Finale is a horribly expensive program. But it's very nice to have all features! NotePad is very limited, I never
was very happy with it, and I guess that you wouldn't be, too. I have the full 2014 version.

The point of this thread is that Synthesia is just wonderful! I know the developer and sometimes I help him finding bugs.
You really should contribute to him because this program is one of the best I ever saw! :D It costs $29. Might sound pricey for
a little program, but it's really worth the money. Synthesia is great to observe and examine the musical structure of a song.

Are you sure? I'm confused, I really think that I heard the chord correctly. I slowed it down but it sounds the same to me.

It definitely isn't easy to transcribe. Olimar, your try seems to be so... consonant. The it's great but I think the pitch in the right hand isn't correct.

The main melody sound a bit like it's played by an Ondes Martenot. Do you know this instrument?

Quote from: Olimar12345 on September 06, 2014, 10:27:08 PMThose voices aren't always singing a definite pitch (they tend to be on the flat side of things), so I did the best I could to translate it to piano.

Just for the fun, but I think it's hardly hearable on piano: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7a4b7foqrhhehfh/Submerged%20Castle%20-%20Korados%20Flatter.mus?dl=0

Oh... Sorry for that. Enharmonic equivalent... It's funny that it's called "Enharmonische Verwechselung" on German because Verwechselung can mean both "switch" or "confusion"... :)

What do you think about the piece now? Would you say it's almost ready to submit?

Don, the 8va really is necessary, the ostinato is in this octave. And I find that the grace note is clearing it up. Thank you for the G#, you are right.

I arranged it to the end. At the end the main melody gets some kind of downward scale as if the notes fall into the abyss. I interpreted them with 32nds.
The main melody is off-tempo and I put it one beat forward. But it's not good to follow the rhythm exactly because it would make the piece very hard to play.

I really have pitch problems. Could you help me with the pitch in the left hand of m. 12 and 13, please?

Thank you for clearing the time signature! This looks much less messy. I pasted the ostinato through the whole piece so I don't run out and can always hear it when arranging the left hand.

The right hand must be 8va. I transformed the arpeggio into a grace note, this sounds much better. I'm still not sure about the two notes in the left hand which
come before it. I believe it's a E-Bb tritone but I can't catch the pitch right. The main melody is actually easier because it's just a chromatic scale.

Here, I worked it out: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h6023m41e6irwib/Submerged%20Castle2.mus?dl=0

Ok, now it should be right! I thought that the .musx format is backwards compatible just like the files of Microsoft Office 2013. I will keep that in mind.

Yeah... The Pikmin games... But in my opinion, Pikmin 3 was very disappointing. The timelimit was back and in the main story, the White and Purple Pikmin were missing.
It appeared to me as if Nintendo forgot to make Pikmin 3 all the time and then suddenly remembered it and just threw out what they had so far.

Ok, I'm sorry... I didn't know you switched to Dropboox. I changed it now. :) Thank you for your welcome!
Interesting we had the same idea, Olimar. Some days ago, I decided to play Pikmin 2 again and finish all the way through.
Actually, I never completely finished it and when I visited the Submerged Castle the first time, I was so fascinated by the music
that I tried to arrange it. The piece is so different from the rest of the soundtrack, in my opinion. And although it sounds so easy,
I really have problems to properly arrange it. Maybe I just rusted a bit. :P I haven't arranged ever since.
