To request a song, fill in the 'Answer this question' box at the bottom of the page and click 'Submit Reply'.

I'm still trying to do rounds once a week, but for the foreseeable future the actual day is going to vary because of reasons.  Contests will still be on the weekends on my YouTube Channel.

How to get my glyph:

Glyph Code: BUFF00N (with zeros)

Ground Rules:

  • Rounds are on Wednesdays
    • Everyone gets one, if I can.
    • If I've done a request for you then please wait two weeks before requesting another.
    • If I'm backlogged then I may not get to yours for a few rounds.
    • If you have a list then I'm only going to go through the top 3, so please try to narrow it down.
  • No "extended" music links, please, just the original one time through is much easier to work with.
  • If you have a particular section of the song in mind then make sure you mention it.
  • Please don't PM me with requests.  Just leave it on the thread and I'll get to it when I can. 
  • "Can you do anything from ______?"  You're going to have to narrow it down to specific songs for me.  I don't have omniscient knowledge of all music, yet.
  • I don't really take Shawzin requests; not enough time and something had to give.

Also check out:

Q : Octavia Prime is vaulted, how do I get the Bombast instrument set?
A: You don't, not until Octavia returns with the Prime Vault.  In the meantime, substitute these:

  • Bombast Percussion -> Gamma Percussion
  • Bombast Bass -> Beta Bass
  • Bombast Melody -> Epsilon for slow melodies, gamma for fast ones

TUNES

The OP was officially too big to update any more, so I have moved the song list into my comments on the first page of this thread. 

I had eight comments on the first page, so I re-purposed them and split up the song list into sections.  These links will take you to the specific comment, but they're all on the same page so you can still search for everything in one place.

Case study videos, showing my process:

Thanks, DE!

Sorry, there's no way the first one is going to work.  I can't make the second one work, either, but I had to think about it a little harder.

That... surprisingly made me a bit happy, since i didn't managed to do it myself, not even a resembling sound, but i guess it was a lost cause.
Anyway, i'm glad you tried. Thanks ! =w=

River city girls-file select theme

So been looking through the river city girls ost for something that loops within the time limit of the manachord and has a close enough bpm. And I found this to be the best match (still going through it with a fine toothed comb-but I won't make another request until this gets done). I'd do it myself but I'd get the rhythm and timing fine but I've no sense of pitch whatsoever.

This song has a very steady percussion and weirdly the main melody is actually the bass. And what would be the melody are accompaniments to the bass.

Here's hoping more people request from the river city girls ost. Alot of it seems very fitting for the manachord (now if only we got an update that allowed more than a small loop).

Just got into Octavia and I'm loving these Mandachord compositions. Got two requests, if you can manage:

First would be Spinal Coaster, the main beat in particular. It changes a bit as the song goes along, but for reference's sake, the segment from 0:02 to 0:08. 0:20 to 0:26 has the beat with more percussion behind it if that helps as reference. It's fast paced, so I understand if this one's impossible to do on a Mandachord.

Edit: There's one version of this same song that is slower. If using the slower version would allow it to be translated into a Mandachord, that's totally fine with me.

Second would be Dark Samus' theme from Metroid Prime 3, the beat heard from 0:11 to 0:19 in particular. This one is probably more feasible by comparison.

 

Thanks in advance.

Dear Mr. Buff00n,

I would first like to express my wonder at all the work you do. To me, music is something almost arcane. I love listening to it, but I don't think I could ever bring myself to actually start creating it. Therefore, I truly appreciate all the music you peculiar lot create. And you, having created all this amazing music, almost seems as if Octavia's Mandachord is your instrument of choice. I guess, all I want to say is, keep up the good work!

Now, since this is a request thread, I was wondering, if you could perhaps see if anything could be done about an old favorite of mine. The track in question is coming from Heroes of Might and Magic IV, Floating Across Water by Paul Romero. Here's the link to the original version (in-game): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDXNSWJLuo

I honestly don't know if anything can be done with this track, what with all the instruments and the length of the song and so on. However, I have heard some good renditions of the song, made on single instrument like piano (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcJM5pEqrjo) or a guitar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8toOUo4xnoA). Of course, this still leaves the question of length...

Be that as it may, I would greatly appreciate hearing this tune in any shape or form!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Hey, it's been a long time since I've last checked this thread out, as I've always ran with the original work you did on Owl City for me, almost 3 years ago.
You've done some impressive work since, and I thank you for it, while also making a second, humble request:

Could you do a (few) song(s) of alan walker's album?
Personal favorites:
- Diamond Heart
- Darkside
- Lost Control
If none of these are possible, I think Alone or Alone pt.II might be easier, although I haven't done an analysis of my own this time.

can you do the theme from Dirk Gently?

there's a sort of analysis of it if it helps

That's a super interesting link, but as a general rule, if it takes a music expert more than five seconds to figure out what scale it is then it's not going to work on a Mandachord :smile:

Can you do Snailchan Adventure by Snail's House?

I don't think there's anything in the main song that will work, but there isn't enough pocky in the world for me figure it out for sure.  I can do the credits song, though.

I guess I can kind of do something if you don't care about the melody:

River City Girls file select theme: Mandachord (Original)

FYI: I also already have this up there

The first one is not going to work on a Mandachord.  As usual, it's about the actual notes used rather than the tempo.  With the second one, there's nothing recognizable I can do for that.

Tried pretty hard to find something in the first three, but nothing really works.  It's either very non-pentatonic or pentatonic but too wide a range.

I do have one request... I would like to see the results of this part of this song:

The moment it hits is 2:51 and I cant create it by my own... I don't have such skills.

Thanks in advance.

I remember trying pretty hard on that a year or two ago, had to give up.
