Oh, and it's also up to you to contact and secure permission to use any audio clips from their respective copyright owners. Even this mode doesn't have any scoring system. It's merely a way for you to jam with a few friends, in your room or across the country. The light show aspects of Music Generator are cool, to be sure, but are merely eye-candy. The most valuable part of Music Generator is it's sequencing abilities. It is basically a music sequencer built for fun. Music Generator makes playing around with samples easy to do, creating riffs a simple task, and even comes with a fairly large library of different riffs covering everything from vocals samples to drum beats, to rhythm, melodies You can create a pretty decent song with the ingredients that come in the box, or you can use a microphone,.
Making wonderful music that everyone will fall all over themselves to get their hands on is not as easy. Simply enjoying the pretty colors of the automated music videos accompanying your favorite music is pretty much mindless. The results can be a few good laughs with a few good friends, or some truly amazing audio tracks that could very realistically make it onto a local college radio station, and possibly help launch your new alias as "DJ Fill-in-the-Blank.
It takes little to get into it, and can make some pretty good results if you play with it enough. At any rate, without a scoring system, who jams the best is a matter of your opinion versus theirs. MTV Music Generator is not really even a game. If it is, it's one of those 'non-competitive' games in which no one loses. Along with the option to add various video clips using 3D graphics, the MTV Music Generator includes 1, riffs and 3, instrument sounds that will fit anyone's taste.
From rock and techno to pop and jazz, or drum and bass to house and rap, creating your very own song mixes for your friends is only the beginning. With the added bonus of music entitlements you'll receive a world-wide royalty-free license to make, use, publish and distribute any works created using the Generator, except for in any commercial music or video creation product.
This also includes any other audio and video components provided that all works of such are clearly labeled on the media or packaging with the MTV Music Generator logo, as well as a mailing of intended use to Codemasters. If it seems too daunting at first, the disc comes with several templates and diverse demo songs written by various musicians, allowing you to edit, remix and examine the tracks.
Each song contains a video accompanying it that also allows for editing. Even riffs can be edited with multiple channels to suit your style, from storing them as palettes to muting, splitting or resizing and cloning your riffs.
As well, the drum beats, sound effects, strings, percussion and vocals can have their volume increased or decreased, or their tempos and pitches changed to your liking. Bass lines are easy I want to create something with an industrial edge, but on first hunting most of the melodies sound a bit poncey.
I eventually settle for a moody piano line and strip this in. Now I want to build the track toward a Trent Reznor-like crescendo before stripping the drums out and letting things settle into something quiet and moody. Can I find some nasty guitars though? I settle for some noisy synth sounds and some more rhythmic bangs and crashes before cutting everything off and finishing with just that moody piano line and a hi-hat.
It's only a couple of minutes long, but it already sounds reasonably professional. Add a touch of reverb and this baby's ready to be recorded for posterity. Now all I need is a recording contract and someone to appreciate the psychedelic video I created to go along with it.
As I said in my preview last month, this is probably the coolest thing that will ever be released on the PlayStation, and it's a very different kind of product that deserves to sell very well.
Upon first tinkering this comes across as a very basic sample sequencing program. Some of you may have tried the Acid products on the PC from Sonic Foundry and this is fundamentally the same thing. You pull loops and samples off the CD, load them into memory and piece together a song by 'painting' these loops into a grid. Although a bit fiddly, and limited by the PlayStation's meager memory capacity, it is actually possible to produce some very decent results.
I pieced together a fairly respectable '70s cop show-style theme complete with 'wacka' guitars and funky bass lines in about an hour. Shoe was humming it after I played it to him, so it must have been OK. I've not even touched on the 'Jam' game and video editor here The real fun is making music.
