Does anyone have this yet? Wondering if it's worth the purchase for those samples. Been meaning to dive into the Pig. Anything interesting?

having no notes named forces you to write better music because you go with what sounds right. music theory is unoriginal... nothing new ever happens. its always what beethoven made or some other illuminati-approved for fame dead man. covering the same progression of notes is only okay if 1)you created it; 2)the song is drastically different.
We need to be better than the mainstream, break the mould! its better to have people stealing from the scene because it kicks so much ass than hearing everyone make covers (remixes are cool if they have a new and original twist i guess)
anyone that is taught music is being handicapped... there is so much more than major and minor. I am not sure I believe what i was told... major is not happy and minor is not sad. I decide the context by embellishments.
besides you can split an octave more than 12 ways.
Not only is this post entirely close-minded under the guise of enlightened, it's also inconsiderate. The simple fact is, some peoples' brains work better with note values than arbitrary dots. Your "break[ing] the mold" is really just you shutting out reality because you have some ludicrous preconceived notion about music theory. Theory teaches you there's more than major and minor. It teaches you that one is not happy nor is one sad. It teaches you the different ways to divide an octave and different tunings and how to use them effectively. This is not the place to spout hate speech about music theory, especially when it teaches exactly what you are preaching.
Beyond that, note names weren't forced on anyone. You could use it if you wanted. They are also exactly the same thing as the dots, just represented in a mildly different manner.
I'll be sticking with my old 2.3 until note names come back. 2.7 seems worth the update, but note names help my process so I'll wait for their return.

I see no reason for it to not be there. It's been very popular. There also haven't been any rumblings about that getting cut. I'm at every PAX East, workin' the 6PM-2AM shift. @.@

Bump. Haven't managed to dig out the Electribe yet. Sorry about that. Added my 3DS XL. ArduinoBoy still available.

I'll take a look at the SNES games tomorrow. There is at least 1 person ahead of you, chepe!, as far as the ArduinoBoy is concerned. I know there are a few PMs I've yet to respond to, I'll also get to them tomorrow.

A lot of Pokemon are available in both versions of each release - only a handful are really "version exclusives," so I don't how this suggestion would work.
Also, I don't see a big problem with two artists doing two pokemon from the same evolution line. Not everyone is going to have the same general approach to composition (stylistically speaking), and while Gastly and Gengar (for example) have the same typing and a lot of the same moves, they're still two different pokemon technically. One poisons people by suffocating them and the other drains the life force out of people by mimicking their shadows... (wow pokemon is pretty grim sometimes). The two compositions will be similar in some ways, but it's highly unlikely that they'll be exactly the same in my view. I spose it's down to Ateno to decide tho.
I wasn't saying people shouldn't, just that they likely wouldn't. Just a general statement.
And the Pokemon that are available in both versions just get split down the middle. All it actually is is an A side and a B side. There's no functional difference, just a cute thing to acknowledge the Pokemon release cycle.
PS: Yes, I'm aware someone already chose Ghastly while Gengar was taken. If someone else would like to claim a Porygon other than Z, I'm not going to be upset. I'm just going to write the same track either way.

One 3-part song. I find it unlikely anyone is going to take the evolved form of a Pokemon already chosen.

Re: Pokémon Album Collaboration (168 replies, posted in Collaborations)
I'm envisioning a three movement progressive Porygon (1, 2, Z) suite. No promises, but that's what I'll do if I can.
Make this a split release. Call it Pokemon Major and Pokemon Minor. Major has all the Pokemon originally available in the warm color releases (red, gold, ruby, pearl, white, y) while Minor has the Pokemon in the other ones (blue, silver, sapphire, diamond, black, x).

Have to dig up the Electribe and slide guitar out of storage. This is what I had on hand right now though. Pulling the Electribe from the ad until I find it.

If people are actually interested and show interest, pics aren't a problem. A one word post with no comment beyond "Pics" is just ridiculous. I'll get some pics up ASAP.

Photos.
Of what? If you're actually interested in making a purchase, I'll get some pics, but it's a pain in the ass to do. I'm not going to take time out of my day to get pictures simply because some guy wants to oogle my stuff.
