Song Production Information

Mr.T

The second installment in the electroshock series, which began with ZERO-ONE. This song is also a thrilling song that spares nothing in the groovy rhythm department. Naturally I used the arpeggiator built into my synth equipment to finish off the song, but the beta version was written in MIDI. That's what makes the sound so great! (lie) Actually, I don't really get how to use it. Since these parts are all assigned keysounds, the game becomes kind of a human arpeggiatorr.

Note: an arpeggiator is a device or program that automatically plays arpeggios.

It was around the end of summer this year. Around the end of one of the festivals, all of the IIDX staff were watching fireworks together. The brilliantly colored sparks rained down almost unendingly, flickering in and out at high speed. Huge fireworks that looked like some sort of dangerous electrical device ... Its name is "xenon".
