Revolutionary Etude v2

[Silvuh]

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

I really don't see this new file being something that's going to be scary at all. I haven't seen what hi19hi19's stepped for the second half and stuff yet, but it can't be that bad. The polyrhthms can't really be stepped because the left-hand notes there are so muddled.

(Side note: Silvuh - do you still have my Molto Vivace v2 file? I lost it due to a hard drive failure, and it'd be nice to have it back. Also, I could use some syncing help - I can sync, but you can sync better.)

Yeah, it was last edited on January 29th, though, so I don't know how much progress is lost there... I could upload it and link you to it or e-mail it to you or I could send it through AIM or anything. AIM would be good if you wanted to talk about syncing, too.

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

Finally sent it to you Silvuh, sorry for the delay.

I laughed hysterically.

Midnight Y U laugh at me?

Or are you laughing with me because Arch's file is so old and bad lol

Yes, it is. I hadn't heard this performance before but I really like it. Um, bonus points if you get FFR permission? lol

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

I don't think I've ever announced this before, but FFR actually does not have permission for the recording. We threw it on there before we knew the difference between a recording and a composition, and no one ever bothered to question it.

Were we to even ask for permission, I haven't the slightest idea who we'd contact. I found the mp3 from a Japanese website hosting the IIDX 6th style OST just after it had come out, and that particular recording was in a "bonus tracks" section titled "REVOLUTIONARY" in obnoxious Japanese-keyboard capslock.

If you want to go legit about this, your best bet is to have someone here remake the MIDI into a digitized MP3 and provide you with the BPM changes. However, given that Revolutionary Etude has been on the game for eight years without the performer of this piece saying a word, I'm pretty sure you'll be fine if you just use the current recording.

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

I was kind of afraid of that lol

Mostly cause it's old. I'm not going to say it's bad because of how it was done back then. I mean the song's only kind of interesting, I never really saw why anyone stepped it in the first place. But that's just me.

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

Yeah not denying that. Arch's file was a pretty big deal when it came out; that doesn't change the fact it's old and bad and deserves a good v2.

And it's stepped because it's a very well known classical melody (even if most people don't know the actual name of the song.)
Plus it's rlyfast, and everybody likes rlyfast music right!?

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

Revolutionary Etude was regarded as bad even by the 2003 criteria for "good files". Like, my mom thought the jumpjack section was pretty stupid, and I'm pretty sure my mom doesn't know how to make files.

It got on the game because we needed a gigantic difficulty spike, not because we were looking for a specific kind of file at the time. In fact, the idea of "good" or "bad" files wasn't something that came about until people started using the KBMP as a baseline. The idea of standards, which imply quality, nevermind the idea that some standards improve over time didn't even come about until everyone switched to spread in 2006 and had some past to compare to.

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

Yeah we don't have permission for revo/mw/caprice/fotbb/rondo/etc (from performers).

But we're leaving them as they are for now since we've never got claims about these ones for 8+ years (restepping these songs are ok too).

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

Silvuh was kind enough to send me back my chart for Molto Vivace [v2]. I might as well take the time to finish it before the next batch comes out.

I still want Kommi to make Revolutionary Chiptune.

Here's one by Vladimir Horowitz:

I was digging around for it for a good while. He's passed on, so since he's the performer and also dead, does that mean we can use it?

Logic... :monkey:

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

I thought that music was still protected after dead for a certain amount of time, but maybe I'm wrong for this situation.

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

I think it's 50 years after death that the copyright still remains. I think.... I .... think ...

Re: Revolutionary Etude v2

I talked with jimerax about this last night, and there is a period that you must wait. However, some music in FFR has "bypassed this" as was previously mentioned in this thread. We haven't done that since Tass' era though.
