zekish Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Well, if it makes you feel better, my old band made an attempt at writing a MIDI version of it on our Ensoniq EPS16+. We had some samples in the keyboard and wanted to write the main music in as a sequence that would play as we played drums and guitar over it. I personally liked the sound it made while you played. It was sorta like ghost notes on a snare drum, or maybe light 16th notes on a hi hat. Very jazzy if you play it on drums. I wanted to have it so we'd play the main theme for a bit, then I'd go into the jazzy drum thing with ghost notes on the snare, and once in awhile we'd "score" and go into the music it played when you scored. After that, of course, it would lapse back into the ghost notes with the sounds of you and the ball bouncing off things and the players rubbing into each other. I guess you can say I thought it'd be neat to play the song like we were playing the game, randomly each performance. With a little help from the sampler and my drum triggers I'd have been able to strike a pad in mid performance and bring up the score music. That'd be our key to go into that part full bore. Okay, I've spent too much time on this post, too. Maybe we're both crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugclone Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 heh..sounds like we've got another hard case of atari addiction on our hands here. Somebody please set up a clinic for the likes of us "atarians". (btw i agree the ballblazer music kicks serious "booty") hee!..booty is a funny word....ummm..yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 None of you had it as bad as I did. I remember recording it onto tape and then playing it for a cute girl at school, LYING to her by telling her it was a song I made on my synthesyzer I had at home...and I didn't even have a synthesyzer!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
