+DZ-Jay Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Here's a remix I made of the song Beat It, from Michael Jackson's album Thriller. The song was originally tracked for IntyBASIC by @Nyuundere. I converted the song data to the Intellivision Music Tracker format and remixed it with new sounds, patterns, and a cool drum track. I posted the full details of the conversion process in the programming forum, under the thread IMT Tracker Remix: Beat It. I just thought to share the final result of the remix here as well. The track uses the extended sound channels of the ECS. I include the ROM, along with an MP3 and a video recorded from jzIntv. Beat It - Remix.mp4 Enjoy! beatit-remix.rom beatit-remix.bin beatit-remix.cfg beatit-remix.mp3 Thanks to @Nyuundere for doing the work of tracking the song initially for IntyBASIC (and, of course, to Michael Jackson for writing the original song!). -dZ.

Intellivet Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Awesome version of a great song; loved it! For some reason, I have Weird Al's lyrics in my head when I listen to it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because it's two remixes in one: "Beat It" and "Eat It"! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 super cool! I love it. You've just beaten it! It only misses Eddie van Halen's solo. I assume that that storm of notes can't be reproduced with IntyBasic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote It only misses Eddie van Halen's solo. I assume that that storm of notes can't be reproduced with IntyBasic Funny thing, we were planning on doing it actually, and I was already dreaming of ways to simulate the pitch bends and trying to come up with an interesting instrument sound in place of the guitar; but alas, @Nyuundere did not have the time to extract the notes of the solo. Unfortunately, I'm no good at playing by ear, so we skipped it. If he gets a chance in the future (or if someone else can extract the notes), then I'll surely come back to it. dZ.
