Identifying octave consistently is not easy by ear, but is a breeze with technical analysis. OctaveĪlongside pitch accuracy is octave-accuracy – not only do I identify that a note is C, I also specify unambiguously whether it’s a C3, C4, C5, etc. These experiences leave me with doubts about other people’s attention to detail and how seriously they treat musical accuracy. But time and time again, I hear other people’s musical transcriptions of various songs (Pokémon and stuff in general) with at least one note pitch wrong. Pitch accuracy comes naturally to me, and ideally I wouldn’t write lots about the topic. But by analyzing each monophonic channel separately, it is easy to hit all chords correctly by design. In a polyphonic music recording, some chords are notoriously hard to pick up by ear. Many pieces use vibrato on long notes, but I ignored this out of simplicity.Ī consequence of pitch accuracy is that all chords in the transcribed song are accurate. By using this tool, I started doing musical transcriptions almost entirely by eye (covering both the pitch and rhythm), and only listen to the original audio versus the transcribed song at the very end to spot mistakes and confirm accuracy.Ī very small number of musical pieces use microtonal features (such as Ruins of Alph), but they were not significant so I just quantized them to the nearest standard pitch. E4) and vertical lines are drawn on each beat. The program creates a much more helpful spectrogram, where the dominant pitch of each note is labeled in text (e.g. So I created a tool specifically to assist monophonic audio transcriptions. But this method was cumbersome and relied too much on human memory and interpretation.

For the first ~30 songs I transcribed, I relied on a mix of visual and auditory analysis of the original music – I would show the music as a spectrogram in Cool Edit Pro (audio editor), listen to a few seconds of audio, memorize the sequence of pitches, refer to the spectrogram for beat timings, write down the notes, and repeat until done. When I say by eye, I mean looking at Fourier transform graphs or spectrograms of the audio signal, and finding the frequency with the highest amplitude peak. I judge the pitch of each note mainly by eye, but I confirm by ear. Comments about specific aspects of musical accuracy: Pitch By listening to each channel independently via a Game Boy emulator, I was able to transcribe every channel with perfect pitch and no guessing. The key feature is that it has 4 monophonic channels of audio, each playing either a single note or silence. The Game Boy’s sound hardware makes my job of transcribing songs tremendously easier and more accurate than transcribing most other pieces of music. Some of its quirks include the fact that accidentals apply to all octaves, octave up/down is indicated on the clef rather than within measures, and the spacing between notes looks odd.

It is relatively easy to use but not the best composition software in the world. I cleaned up and edited the data, put them on a new page, and continued the transcription journey by adding a ton of new songs.Īll of the musical scores are written using the NoteWorthy Composer software. In late 2016 I decided to unearth my then-small collection of Pokémon Game Boy music transcriptions for publishing. 6 of the songs here were first transcribed by me in year 2003, 2 songs in 20 combined, and the remaining bulk in late 2016 to early 2017.

I have been doing musical transcriptions for a long time, way before this website came into existence. Viridian, Pewter, Cerulean, Saffron City Cinnabar Island
