quick question on a tune...


Recommended Posts

hey all, kenji here. I was just wondering... is it possible to get something like that-...... how to explain it... harp sound on fruity loops studios? the harp that sounds like the one playing in red brinstar from super metroid? I cannot seem to find a tune that could work for it. even though... I am sorta new at FL studios... but it isn't like I don't know how to use it. anyhoo I have almost all the right tunes... sorta except for that one, and it has been bugging me for a while. I am pretty sure it is going to be so obvious that it isn't even funny (that's my luck...) if you have not heard red brinstar... here was an excellent remix that darren kerwin made, I was trying to actually get the harp-sound closer to this... so it isn't an exact replica of super metroid but still not an exact replica of what darren worked hard on (probably), after all I am remaking the song:

all I need to know is how to get a tune that sounds... fairly close, I know how to do the rest... any help? (I am probably such an idiot...)

Might need to work on your English a bit, and a "tune" generally refers to a song, not a sound or instrument.

For a lower quality solution, try FL's builtin "plucked" channel. Or search for harp soundfonts and you'll probably be able to find something.

Alternatively, use an FM synth (DX10) to make one how you want it.

Good luck.

Firstly, it's amazing what you can find by typing your name into a search engine these days.

Secondly would you mind deleting that file you have hosted and link with this one: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/115372

Finally, I would be more than willing to send you that soundfont you are asking for if you can contact me via pm.

I just want to add that this is the last place I expected this song to be, I am not worthy of OCRemix. However, i'd love it for you to check this one out:

@Zephyr~: err... yeah, sorry =P I was kinda asleep when I was typing it. plucked channel? I'll go check it (as I have not really heard of it). I am not exactly sure how to use a FM synth (DX10)... so uhh... I think Darren actually might have something helpful. thanks anyhoo! it may come helpful in the future.

@Darren1986: I uhh... didn't try to put your name in the search engine (obviously) yeah... I said "your", awesome to meet you! I'll change it as soon as I am done typing. I got it off the Metroid Database, I was trying to find some inspirational metroid-themed song. I saw yours, downloaded it... it was awesome, I can't get it out of my head. hmm... they are all pretty cool, the orchestrated brinstar... the M2:RoS theme, I really liked how they are turning out. this is sorta off-topic... but I am kinda sad seeing the lack of metroid fusion remixes =( about the sound font... could you not make it "exact?" It feels like I would be stealing someone else's sound, and this is going into a remake of super metroid... it just wouldn't feel right ya know? of course... I will still give credit, because any help from anyone I always give cred =)

It's very nice to meet you too! I didn't know until about 2 weeks ago that my song had been uploaded to the Metroid Database, I was quite surprised it was accepted. I'm going to try and get you that harp, but not sure exactly how to get it to you. Erm, what remake of Super Metroid is this exactly? I've already been asked to help with a couple of Metroid projects, but I won't be giving any music to anyone unless it's perfect. So just go ahead with the harp...if you can PM me any messengers you use, let me know so I can add you. I use MSN, AIM, Skype and even YIM at a push..

Thanks! I sent you a PM here, wondered why I didn't get it back =P the project is called FSMR (First super Metroid Remake), it is almost as famous as DoctorM64's AM2R. right now it looks dead, but it isn't... the third demo should be coming out the following month once I finish Ridley sprites. Here were some Mock-ups I made (I will be level designer as well as spriter (main job) and a composer assistant): http://kenji-imatake.deviantart.com/gallery/ there are some videos of it on youtube... but they are seriously outdated... here is the last demo... it is really OLD though (and I didn't get the chance to design/ work on it):

there were 2 older demos... but they were not as good.

Messaging systems... I don't use any =P I guess I'll sign up for MSN because there was someone who wanted me to anyways... tomorrow. my name will be "Kenji Imatake", if it is taken then "kenjitake".

EDIT: I almost forgot to mention... my gallery does not have all the sprites I have made going into FSMR. like all the enemies are already finished, I didn't release them all though.

there's actually no harp in the original song, the flute sample used is just really bad and used in such a way that it sounds a lot like it, this is the sample ripped from the game

anyway, there's a good harp soundfont on darkeswords site here you should get
