Did a little remastering of Lloyd's
Venture! Timid Youkai!Mp3I've been on a stump again, so I was digging through my archives when I found its midi in my drive. Since I always need practice mixing THfont sounds, I thought of giving it another shot. ~
Lloyd should find more time to make new stuff... XD
Incoming wall of text that nobody actually cares about:
On another note, I figured out that the ClavinovaPanFlu (patch 76 / Pan Flute in standard midi banks) patch of ThFont sounds strange at low note velocities at pitch C7~D7 and at selective pitches at higher octaves. They work normally at around 75%+ note velocity (that's 127(0.75) = 95.25 or a value of 96 for most synthesizers and midi software). If it's too low, the sample sounds weird:
Sample
They are both ClavinovaPanFlu (patch 76). The first and third sample are at 55% (or 70) note velocity (volume raised for comparison) while the second and fourth samples are at 100% velocity (or 127). I don't know if its supposed to work that way, but it only happens at selected pitches, like when I used them for Sammy's theme.

Uncanny OccurenceRequester's Comment:
^This theme will have a peaceful overtone to it. Like a usual carefree day in Gensokyo. It should have some heavy parts to it to signify that something is about to disturb that tranquility.
Comment:
It was hard getting this one, since I'm bad at musical transitions and/or peaceful themes. >.<
Since I was bad at it, I thought, what the heck. Still, it came out a little bit off, heh.
I started with a peaceful melody, then essentially building it up to a chaotic chorus. If you listen carefully, you'll find some familiar tones from one of my favorites from ZUN's work.
Essentially, it was supposed to convey the emotion of having a walk in the afternoon when you bump into something you shouldn't have. You try to run, being chased by things you haven't seen before. You feel their footsteps catching up, and you run faster. And just when you feel like you were about to be caught, you suddenly wake up from a very bad dream. XD
Whenever I compose, I wonder...why is the coffee always gone?
