welcome to the site.

anyways... regarding your arrangement, at a glance and after listening, i'm wondering if this is copied from a midi, especially considering the sound of the Piano 1 part... if you didn't copy it, then that's fine, but plagiarism is not allowed...

as for it as a piece... it sounds good, but beyond that it doesn't seem very practical in my opinion... for a duet it's really not a duet, the Piano 1 part simply plays the same harmony throughout the piece, making it not really suitable for a duet... the piece itself is also too short to really see the need for a duet, which sadly makes me think even more that you've used a midi and are just trying to cram in all the different voices (but again if I'm wrong, sorry)

[GreekGeek]

Well I hope you're serious, because you are wrong. I don't even have MIDI for a keyboard or anything. I only have one MIDI out for my accordion, which doesn't even work so that isn't a possibility. Let me tell you how to get that voice out of the Piano 1 Part: go to Window; Instrument List; and there you go. You can setup the voices for your layers and choose voices. If you want I can switch the voice of Piano 1 in half a minute if that helps you to get convinced.

For the practical part in contrary, I guess you're right. It really really isn't very practical indeed so I think I will just bring the rhythm of Piano 1 part into the left hand of Piano 2 part, which actually has no use at all at the minute. It's just, I wanted to make it as perfect as possible so ppl wouldn't give some bad feedback, so I guess that didn't help, did it I've been using NSM for a couple of years, I've downloaded like 100 pieces of sheet music and I really know how the use them and I also know that it isn't very strange here to make sheet music hardly playable.

I hope it helps you guys and I really know that you're of good will and wanna protect NSM, but I'd do anything to convince you because this is rather bummer to hear from your first arrangement. I hope my second one (which I've nearly completed) doesn't strike you as plagiarism and you might actually may like it

See ya   

[blah54]

don't worry, if you didn't plagiarize, then don't worry about it... i was just wondering, because it's not that uncommon for people to download a midi off a site like vgmusic.com and then just "make" it their own arrangement...

and now that it's for solo piano, that seems much more practical, so good work.

[GreekGeek]

Hi ya,

I was wondering how you can make sure you kind NSM people see my updates if I'm like on the second page without making bumps. Just wondering since it's been like half a year or so since I've updated my first sheet and it hasn't been added yet to the downloadpage. Just wondering

Thanks
GG

The Gale of Darkness opening sounds nice but on a technical note some of the left hand crosses the right hand and some passages are difficult to read because of the layering.

[MasterPenguin]

The site isn't being updated atm. Issues with FTP, from what I gather.

Be patient. :s

[GreekGeek]

Okay, just wondering why it took so long but thanks for letting me now I'll keep on arranging in the meantime.

[Cobraroll]

I have been looking for those songs for some time now! Thanks for arranging!
Especially like the Phenac Pre Gym one (AKA Trainer school), and I love the Trainer Battle one too.
 
Are you planning to do more Pokémon Colosseum arrangements? I.E. the iconic Pyrite Town, or Phenac city? The "other" battle theme is also good, the one used in the first 10 or 20 matches in Battle Mountain. Though, due to all the strings, it may not sound as good on piano.

[GreekGeek]

Love to hear you like the arrangments so much, Cobraroll. I have got a lot of arrangments made this year from Pokémon Colosseum, but a few of them are perfect. They include:

-Agate Village (Finished)

-Bad Guy Battle (It's actually Pokémon XD, but it's finished and quite nice)

-Battle SIM (Pokémon XD, almost finished)

-Cipher Lab (Finished, really the coolest of them all)

-Cipher Peon Battle (Almost finished)

-Cipher Syndicate S (Finished)

-Cipher's Theme (Pokémon XD, and it's a kinda orchestraversion made by me)

-Phenac City (Almost Finished)

-Pyrite Building (Orchestraversion, it's 99% perfect)

-Seth Steals The Snag Machine (Almost Finished)

-The Under (Almost Finished)

-Title Theme (Finished)

I'd really like to have help with "The Under". There's a part in the middle where the piano does stuff I just can't get my hands on! It freaks me out, so I'd like to ask for help from some more experienced arrangers. thanks a ton!

[Gooch]

Dude, im really diggin' the Demo piece. I had never heard the song before, so when it started playing all slow and not much to it, i personally thought it sort of a "safe" piece so to speak, but after it got its groove going, i really started diggin' it. Kudos, sir.

[Cobraroll]

Nice work!

I know there is a separate request forum, but you seem to be the only one that does Pokémon Colosseum/XD on here. Can I ask you to at least have a look at one song, and see if it's feasible?

"Battle Mode" or "Colosseum Mode", or whatever it's called. In Pokémon Colosseum, it's the music that plays when you get to choose modes, and you don't choose Story Mode. It's also used before and after the matches in outside-story Mt Battle. I know it's merely a version of the Pokémon Main Theme, but it has that awesome intro...

Anyways, keep on arranging! There is so much good music in the Pokémon games, and it's nice to see that someone specialises on it.

[GreekGeek]

Wow I'm so glad to hear great comments =D. I'm one of the only people on this site which specializes in Pokémon Colosseum and XD, I guess. But after you have arranged a couple of pieces, it becomes easier because there's a lot of things that the Pokémon composers always use. Lot of dim-chords. Cipher Lab for example only contains Adim, Edim, Am en D chords. And the Am => Ab+  => C/G => C(b5)/F# is also used so often in the two games. I'll have a look at the song you mean, Cobraroll and Gooch, you gotta tell what the expression "digging sth" means =P, I'm dutch you know =)

I listened at the song you meant and recorded it as a Mp3-file so I can listen it on my mp3-player and arrange it. It's quite an easy song, so it'll be finished in a couple of days/weeks, it depends on school.

[Cobraroll]

^Good! Thanks!

As a side note, do you own other Pokémon games? You're starting to get through much of the song roster in Colosseum/XD, so what's after that? The music in the 3rd and 4th gen handheld games is very similiar in style to that in Colosseum/XD, so maybe something from there?

I made a request topic here, but the size of it has appearently discouraged people from posting there. Have a look!
