To continue in my little quest to get questions answered, my next one is
kinda a 'wish' question. Something I'd like to see get done. There's a
little background to it..
Being a pinball freak, I own a few games. One such game is "Twilight
Zone", based on the TV show. A friend of mine worked on the game,
developing the software for it. There's an object to the game, and it's to
shoot for the 'Player Piano'. (There's more to it, of course, but I'm
trying to keep it short. :>)
When you make the shot, the player piano plays a little ditty. It's about
one musical phrase long (a wonderful 1.5 secs long.). Now I have my TZ game
next to my player piano, and would absolutely die to have a roll punched
out with this little phrase.
What's involved in getting this done? I will have (currently listening to
the sound file over and over, and picking out the notes on my piano) the
actual notes/lengths, etc of the phrases - I used to be a music major. The
hardest part is translating the not-quite-exact-match of musical notes to
the piano's scale.
Anyways, it's something that will always bug me and is on my 'todo' list.
:> What's involved in making a roll? (I mean, aside from holes on a sheet
of paper..)
Thanks!
Me.
