I don't know why, but I've had a recent revival of interest in 3D World's music. I mean, this OST is hard to hate collectively. Individual songs, sure, but overall, this soundtrack is able to cater to a wide variety of musical tastes (although jazz fans probably get something extra out of it). Anyway, this is just some useless jibber-jabber that probably serves no practical purpose. So, yeah. Chainlink Charge. Hope you like it.

On my phone, but wow his looks and sounds great! I'll put it under the magnifying glass later, but great job, at first glance!

[TheMarioPianist]

Bump.

(Olimar seems pretty busy with a lot of things at the moment, so if anyone else has some fixes on this one at all, feel free to comment!)

Would it be too difficult if you added the echoes on the measures with just a whole note in the right hand? Ex. m.18 The echoes start after measure 17.

Oh, I didn't even hear those the first time I arranged this; good catch! I should be able to incorporate those. I'm at school right now, but I'll check them out when I get the chance.

Great sheet!

Just a few things I noticed (I didn't do any note checking).
- Courtesy accidentals in 9, 14, 20, & 37 (left hand) would be nice.
- Copyright seems a tad high.

Again, superb sheet! I'll get to checking the notes when I get on my computer.

Courtesy accidentals, good catch. Especially with a bass line like the one in this song. Constantly and quickly moving. And of course, none of my submissions would be complete without an error in aesthetics. Thanks for the tips, files have been updated!

-LH measure 26 low D should be an Eb
-RH the grace note in measure 40: Eb should be a C. Also that chord shouldn't be a grace note, it should be an eighth note, preceded by a dotted quarter note.
-Since we use the American titles on this site, it should be "Chain-Link Charge"
-I'd just get rid of that second layer F in the RH in the last measure.

(the bari sax in measures 6 and 10 is what I think he's talking about, and if it isn't, that is what I'm referring to)
-I believe the last measure should look something like this:

Thanks for checking this over Olimar!

-LH measure 26 low D should be an Eb

I've listened to this chunk multiple times at various speeds, but I'm not hearing anything but a D here. I know slowing down the song can distort the sound, but I'm really wanting to trust my perfect pitch on this one.

-RH the grace note in measure 40: Eb should be a C. Also that chord shouldn't be a grace note, it should be an eighth note, preceded by a dotted quarter note.

I definitely agree with the rhythm change and the fact that the bottom note is not an Eb. However, through all the distortion I'm picking up a Db instead of a C. If you listen to this again and still hear a C, I'll take your word for it. Tbh, the only notes I hear are the Gb and a Db above the Gb (the latter, of course, is not the note leading to the D in the next dyad, so I left it out).

Both done. For some reason, the American OST that has been correct for every other 3D World sheet I've done had this one incorrect. Interesting.

Ok, I definitely heard what you were talking about, and I have fixed that. However, I wasn't sure what cashwarrior was referring to. Based on the measures he gave, I thought he was referring to the part that I end up transcribing in 41-47. I left them out originally mainly because I didn't hear that voice at first, but also because I didn't know whether that was playable while still maintaining the melody.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I knew that last measure couldn't have been as ugly as I had originally transcribed it! That both looks and sounds a lot better.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. I've changed the things I agreed with in the mus file, but left the uncertain things untouched for the most part. Let me know what you think. Thanks again!

It's definitely not a D, and sounds like an Eb all day long over here (not to mention that in this style it doesn't make too much sense for the bass to add nct's to arpeggios in the turn-around). Not sure what else to say about that one 6_6

Listening again, I agree that it is a Db. (it's quick!) so yeah, this is fine.

Yeah, that looks good now. Good work.

Don't forget to update the other files too (the PDF is definitely still the wrong file).

[Latios212]

That is definitely an E flat according to my ears.

[Dudeman]

I did a few listens myself and am 90% sure it's a D.

gee I hope this doesn't divide the forums

[Olimar12345]

ur bad dm it's Eb no doubt.

[Latios212]

ok I'm not sure now
