Game Music...on the organ

That's because you haven't seen

Reminds me of that old ghost story about the "cursed" Majora's Mask cart and the dead boy or something along those lines. Anyone else ever remember it?

But I'll never beat majora's mask D:

Sheesh, I think it took my brothers and I a year or two of tag-team relay playing to finally beat OoT. Not even FFVII took us that long

You mean the Ben creepypasta, right?

I think that was it. It's been a while, though

Anyways, new vid with a new VST (based on this....thing  )

I first used this in the Sand Bird video, but I really pushed it to the limit with this one. It pretty much overloads my soundcard, so I had to record each part individually and mix them together. Not fun, but the sound is quite frankly unlike anything I've ever heard. It's sorta like synth strings, but there's something just very....powerful that really just hits you in the gut. Listening to this on a high-end surround system is really quite an experience. But TBH, it's really more trouble than it's worth, since this VST pretty much copies every stop (God only knows how many that is), and they're all super quiet. So to get an audible sound, you either have to select big sweeping gobs of 'em, or pick and choose carefully. It's a royal pain in the pooper

This gives me so many ideas! Hahaha! I get a little overexcited about new discoveries!

Honestly, what I'd absolutely love to have is a keyboard instrument that follows the basic organ concept (2+ keyboards and pedalboard, many selectable and combinable voices, etc.) and combines that with a high quality MIDI workstation. Basically, your typical Casio on steroids. It would open up so many wonderful possibilities and make for some very fun and interesting arrangements. Does such a beast exist in real life?

Bump...?

Anyway, there was this great game song that would sound really interesting on the organ. Umm... the final Bowser battle music from Mario 64.

Nah, just kidding. The song I had in mind was the Wii Sports Main Theme:

There are already organ parts hidden deep within it. I think it is a little clearer to hear in this 8-bit remix:

Though, it may be hard to get just right without the drums.

Speaking of the Wii Sports Theme, why the heck have nobody arranged it for the main site yet? It's the main theme for one of the best-selling video games ever. It would be like missing the The Sims 2 Theme! Or the menu theme from RollerCoaster Tycoon 2! Or the credits song of Super Mario Sunshine or even LoZ: The Wind Waker! Scandalous!

Cobraroll? o.O

Honestly, it's probably because nobody/very very very few people actually liked Wii sports  ;P
