Song Compilation

[Maniacc0]

Maniacc0, I skip note 12 and note 16 because they are redundant. I skip Key Assign #4 on the keyboard so the top is as “piano” as possible with respect to the black key placement (Tip: Sharpie in the 123 and 567 so they "appear" like the black keys).

The way it is currently written is the best way to describe it. What you asked would read:

Note 1 thru 8 = QWERTYUI (This is the low octave C to C)
Note 17 thru 24 = ASDFGHJK (This is the high octave C to C)
Note 9,10,11 = 123 (This is low B and low octave black keys C# and D#)
Note 13,14,15 = 567 (this is low octave F#, G#, and A#)

Same thing, just backwards for you .

Thanks alot Now that I look at it, it makes alot more sense (especially considering I play piano lol)

[LadyDarya]

not sure how exact this is, but here is part of the rohan theme (movie)
standard mapping

222 43453
222 43458
222 43453
64 3 44 2

Zelda theme, also standard mapping

2666 64532

11 2666... (cont from top)

awesome thread btw, need to learn these

[Northwoods]

Glovepie works perfectly, actually. You just need to setup everything correctly which depends on equipment and applications you are trying to use.

Could you provide some details, please? When I've tried to use it, it occasionally spits out the wrong note. Pressing the same note again plays the correct note. The mapping on midi events to key presses is correct, but still the wrong note is sounded.

Others have contacted me with the same problem.

What are we doing wrong?

[Drenlo]

I've fixed the below song the person who wrote it had the tune wrong.

The english lyrics should be:
Are you sleeping
are you sleeping
brother john
brother john
morning bells are ringing
morning bells are ringing
ding dang dong ding dang dong.

(French the rythm sounds exactly the same on and instrument I just dont know how to spell the french lyrics.)

He had it as morning bells are ringing
brother john morning bells are ringing.
Ding dang ding ding dang ding. I'm not at home so I'm not sure which note to use to change the ding to a dong although I'll fix that later when I get home.

Wow, way to go everyone! I am looking forward to going home to try these out. Just one more way to spend my time in Middle Earth beyond questing and killing monsters (although I do find those quite enjoyable, too). Keep up the great work!

Final Fantasy 7 main theme.

OR SHIFT+

1-2-3-7-6
1-2-3-6-5 - 1-2-1

Sorry, Just recently started the lute.

Tried it out and it sounds good, though I did make a few minor tweeks and added on a bit more, heres mine:

Without shift:

1-2-3-7-6
1-2-3-6-5 - 1-2-1
2-3-7-6
1-2-3-6-5 - 1-2-3
3-5-3-2 - C1

With shift:

1-2-3-7-6
1-2-3-5-4 - 1-2-1
2-3-7-6
1-2-3-5-4 - 1-2-3
3-5-3-2 - 1

Last note with shift doesn't sound quite right, but its the lowest I can get without it sounding worse.

I've tried most of the songs listed, so far I've got Silent Night, Basket Case by Green Day(please keep it going, I really hate stopping where its left off), Happy birthday, Frere Jacques, both the Hymn to Joys, Danny Boy(the C7s and C6s in that sound off btw, you may want to fix it, otherwise it sounds great),the first 2 lines in Star Wars Imperial March by Neda(The rest I can't really get right for some reason, either it was put together wrong, or it wasn't made to play on the lute), and of course the FFvii theme right.

The rest I've either never heard of to play right, haven't tried, or just suck at playing it.

Lost Woods from Zelda (compiled by me with a bit of help from Mumble)

[Serheg]

God, this thing is so hard to play for me. =[
I look at everyone else and they're freaking amazing at it.

I want to try and get better at it.

[Smithymgs]

here's a few i tapped out (with a few references to sheet music) in a couple hours last nite.

Raiders' March (Raiders of the Lost Ark)

3-4-5-8 2-3-4
5-6-7-s4 6-7-8-s2-s3
3-4-5-8 s2-s3-s4
5-5-s3-s2-5-s3-s2-5-s3-s2

or, for the more nimble-fingered among us:
1+3-2+4-3+5-3+8 2-3-4
5-1+6-2+7-s4 1+6-2+7-3+8-s2-s3
1+3-2+4-3+5-3+8 s2-s3-s4
5-5-s3-s2-5-s3-s2-5-s3-s2
(repeat)
this one sounds more full at parts, but some chords just can't be made with the small "keyboard" size.

Any chance we could conform to the OP's key-bind format, or have them all listed as the default key-bind? It's very confusing having a handful of different key-bind variations.

On a slightly different note, if you have fat fingers like me, you can use a program like AutoHotkey to play songs. Just set up a script, set yourself to play music in-game, then initiate it.

#r:: ; WinStart r

Loop 
{
; =========== Line One ===========
        Send, i ; 
        Sleep 200 ;
        Send, u ; 
        Sleep 400 ;	 
; =========== Line Two ===========
        Send, y ; 
        Sleep 200 ;
        Send, r ; 
        Sleep 200 ;
        Send, r ; 
        Sleep 200 ;
        Send, q ; 
        Sleep 200 ;
        Send, r ; 
        Sleep 200 ;
        Send, r ; 
        Sleep 400 ;
}

I know it kind of takes the fun out of it, but you don't even need to set up an entire song. You could set up melodies and connect them, rather than having to hit every key.

Careful with the macros--you could be violating the ToS! A macro that goes out of control can have adverse effects on the game, so they're frowned upon at best, and can get you banned at worst.

Turbine has promised enhancements to the music system (go back to Bob's post a little ways back) and I, for one, am waiting with bated breath to see them in action.

AutoHotkey only mimics key strokes, for the most part. The worst effect I've recieved has been something similar to bashing your head on the keyboard a couple times. If you're hitting keys too fast, LOTRO will let you know and stop accepting them momentarily.

Someone was asking about the script I showed, so here it is in full form:
-: http://www.mediamax.com/septa_scarabae/Links/4F74A01899

It's basicly a very primitive script. It's just calling keys as requested and hits them in a loop until you stop it. *.ahk files need to run while AutoHotkey is running, but they can be compiled into *.exe files. If you download the above script, you should be able to right-click it and go to 'Edit Script'. That'll show you it in a text compiler. If you're using the default music keybinds and need to use Shift and Ctrl, it'd look like this:

Send, {SHIFTDOWN}1{SHIFTUP} ;

Maybe you're not clear on what a Macro is...

. pl. mac·ros Computer Science

noun
1. a single computer instruction that results in a series of instructions in machine language


What you're describing is a macro and is against the TOS. While I understand the desire to use it for music you're basically admitting to breaking the rules.

[Brascubas]

anyone know how to play the final fantasy victory theme ?

[Roninken]

Right...
But i don't see how people can play this fast

And also...with the letters...did they remap the keys? How is it set up?
QWERTYUI = Shift mapping
ASDFGHJK = Normal mapping
ZXCVBNM, = CTRL mapping?

Sor tof Confused.

[Serheg]

Does anyone know how to play that Dust in the Wind song ?!
Some kid was playing it and it sounded amazing.

[Septa_Scarabae]

The first post in this thread explains the mapping. I think it's intended to be easier for quicker access while playing.

Ok, I know its cheesy, but I figured why not. Heres the begining of Lean On Me.

The ToS only applies to macros that directly interact with the game client, doesn't it? I wouldn't think that something such as the above script would be considered a bannable offense.

Since they have the legal department checking if G15 Keyboards are against the rules I would say so. It is sort of interacting with the client by performing functions in game which is handled by the client.

That's ridiculous, lol. How can they even enforce that?

[ragemore]

Anyone come up with a Dueling Banjo's from Deliverance?

Or some more Irish themed music?

[rgun]

Nice thread! Great song lists!

*bump*

[Kotef]

I'd like to know how to play the James Bond theme song

[Wildardoc]

Hey I noticed that some of the songs are in the Pomm format and some are in the actual note number format. For sake of consistancy should we redo them to the same format? I wouldn't mind converting some if people think it would be helpful.
