Olimar12345's Arrangements! (900 Total) 10 New Sheets!

[Olimar12345]

Mostly been renovating old Cave Story sheets today, but I did get this one done. I'm not sure how many of the beta tracks I'll do, but I'd like to see the big ones like Pier Walk and People of the Root get done.

Until recently, this track was unknown. Now it seems to have been confirmed as an early version of the predecessor to Last Battle.

Double post: I upgraded my previous arrangement of "Get Heart Tank!" into a single sheet with all three fanfares:

I was looking all over the place for a good version of this, this is my favorite one, thanks!

With these final two arrangements, the Cave Story OST is now completely in sheet music form.

[PC] - Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari)
-White [MUS] [Midi] [PDF] [NEW]
-Toroko's Theme [MUS] [Midi] [PDF] [NEW]

I might still do some more beta music though.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

You read correctly! Even more Cave Story fun is to be had:

[PC] - Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari)
-Balrog's Theme [MUS] [Midi] [PDF] [NEW]
-Meltdown (Unused) [MUS] [Midi] [PDF] [NEW]

Also, I've updated some terminology to help make things more clear. The tracks labeled "(Beta)" are early versions of their final counterparts, while the beta tracks that did not make it into the game have been renamed "(Unused)." This applies to Pier Walk, People of the Root, Snoopy Cake, and the new Meltdown. The Wind Fortress is exempt from this since it made appearances in later official releases of the game.

I plan on doing two more arrangements, one of a super early beta version of White and another of the track "Halloween 2" from the promotional Halloween update. After that I plan on having two more Cave Story-related updates here before being done with arranging CS music.

Wait, had you not done balrog's theme before?

[Olimar12345]

Nope. Deku has one on the site though.

[SlowPokemon]

Just a question, in Balrog's Theme, in the section from measure 9, you have the B-flat - E-flat interval in the left hand as a dotted quarter note. Is there a specific reason you didn't notate it as three eighths even though in the track you can hear the notes being sounded three distinct times? Same goes for the C - F interval, which is four eighth notes in the track. It's not staccato, but you can hear the notes sounding. I'm assuming it's a practical/creative choice, I just think the extra eighth notes make that part more fiery so I was curious. I guess it's possible that the Cave Story+ or Cave Story 3D track is different in that way, though. Also, congrats on arranging the entire soundtrack.

[Olimar12345]

Thank you, and good question! I wrestled with that for a while, actually. What I unearthed was that what you're hearing there is most likely the bass voice re-articulating down low underneath the held notes. I was able to confirm this by booting up the ORG file into ORGMaker and visibly seeing the rhythms Pixel used (it takes some getting used to though, it looks pretty funky). So to answer your question, I did that because it is what Pixel did.
