This is a pretty stupid question...

If I remember correctly, I believe it starts on an E (for C-Pitched instruments), and I'm assuming it's in the key of C, but I remember accidentals for some reason, so I could be wrong.

And for composition, I use Finale, but its really expensive. You could download their limited version "Finale Notepad", but it doesn't have all the instruments of a marching band, and key/time signature changes mid-song aren't supported (to my knowledge). Otherwise, its a good little program.

Unfortunately, I don't have the music for D-Code. However, if you tell me what game it's in so I can track down a machine with it (or come up with some other way I can listen to it), I'll tell you the key and transcribe the first few notes.

(Whoever thought that perfect pitch would be so useful outside the music world? LOL.)

its;

E G F# D E G F# D E G again and again for most of it.

i just need to know the trumpet part, and the "gallop" part (expert steps)

Max 300 has a pretty good bassline...

I think I'll arrange it for the hell of it. XD

EDIT: Here's the beginning:

That isn't Max 300's bassline. The beginning of it is just a series of 16ths at 150 BPM that go like this:

D# F F F F F F F

Once that stops, it's a D# every fourth note instead of eighth.

[DJ Tenku]

Oh yeah...

Our pre-game show, the beginning sounds similar to Macho Gang, and around the same speed.

Which is awesome because I need to practice my high-step jog.

190beats a minute is RIDICULOUS for a marching band.

shit, we played Accidently In Love, and it was too fast.

You're Not Here is somewhat fast, if i remember.

Heh, our show this year has a song of 208 BMP. Really exausting...

But the problem with Max 300 and most Max songs is the lack (or it not being obvious) of a distinct melody/harmony. It sounds too linear for a marching band...

[GOD GODDY]

Save Max 300 for the fucking drumline and spice it up.

Orchestral, but wait for the end when it gets all funky. Should've seen my brother dancing to it. :3

[kisehappan93]

Gambol.

[UndeadMushroom]

Pandemonium for the drumline and pit/halftime.

Healing Vision Angelic for the drumline.

Long Train Running, not entirely DDR original though.

Absolute.

Nageki No Ki. Run in circles around the soloist!

Kanaria.

Sa-Da-Me.

Kind Lady (Company Edit).
