SNES MARIO PAINT MUSIC COMPOSER - The Music Production Suite For Super Nintendo

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Whats the first music software you ever used? was it mario paint? there is a full extended version of the mario paint/modular synth song available here :- www.patreon.com/lookmumnocomputer

[@ml9219]

FL studio

[@SpectrumDIY]

Q basic? Though that might be a local mod

[@Adamisgood24]

Cakewalk

[@riniraw]

It was Audacity. I never owned consoles as a kid.

[@davecgriffith]

Yeah, Mario Paint. Thanks for the video - got crazy nostalgia vibes with that opening music!

[@TokyoScarab]

I don't know if anyone else has chimed in on this Sam, but you can insert an ending bar instead of having it go the whole way. It's in the bar at the top with the sounds. Cheers! :D

[@Franzweezie]

Yes - The “end bar” is that yellow icon all the way to the top right. I spent many hours with this game as a kid! Loved this. As always, your riffs are slaying 👏👏

[@electronicsandewastescrapp7384]

that CRT / VHS combo side by side is awesome

[@daveherz998]

That Mario Paint / synth track is a banger!

[@newkfromrotterdam]

5:05 ...could not stop myself from repeating it a couple of times :P

[@AboveEmAllProduction]

I liked the super Mario world / metal track more

[@ncot_tech]

That TV is so cool. Can't work out whether it's a bit of broadcast equipment, or 90s Panasonic trying to make a futuristic looking VCR combo TV.

[@vooveks]

It was definitely a professional broadcast/production product, not for retail. I recognised it straight away - I think my brother brought one home to play with, when he was working for an AV hire place years ago. I remember thinking it was super cool then.

[@jsquet]

More like a microwave.

[@KanalFrump]

I think these were mainly used at hospitals and doctors' offices. Some models had digital freeze frame. They were particularly common for recording and reviewing ultrasound scans, often with a thermal image printer hooked up on the video output.

This was my first experience of music production and it was just awesome ! These crazy sounds ! I love your modified SNES ! Great job as always !

[@anarekist]

I loved this "game" when I was a kid, spend countless hours on it, developed my mouse skills before I had a computer

[@Pax_Mayn3]

Same. I saved my allowance to get it, I couldn't read yet but I figured it out. I thought I was so cool everybody wanted to try it. Game genie was fun to

[@f00koff42]

@@Pax_Mayn3 I couldn't see or hear but with my allowance I managed to buy it and beat it. Quite trick to have it shipped into my mother's womb though...

[@NateHorn]

Loving these vids! Only music production I've done on Nintendo was LSDJ on the Gameboy - which as trackers go is pretty incredible once you get the hang of it...

[@Jessie_Renfro]

One of the tricks in the 90's, kids record their Mario Paint animation and tunes on VHS tapes. Give that a test and see if that works for you. 🤔

[@YQN2149]

An album of Mario Paint tunes released on VHS sounds like an idea

[@Jessie_Renfro]

@@YQN2149 I agree! That is a pretty cool idea.

[@YQN2149]

@@Jessie_Renfro only 3 copies are needed: one for the musician, one for their mom (though that one is optional) and one in case it sells! I do like the idea however :)

[@superchiaki]

back in the days i also "slow down" the tunes recorded on tape by just hold the finger on the tapemotor etc

[@wolfetteplays8894]

That would be a hella dope idea.@@YQN2149

[@strongocho]

This was my first DAW. I put HOURS into it. Also loved the flyswatter game on Mario paint

[@Blitzkrieger17]

Gnat Attack!!

[@caviar_dreamz]

There's a PC program Mario Paint Composer that's almost identical to the SNES game, but gets rid of some of the limitations. Cheers!

[@weapea]

True musician you are! Anything you got in your hands, you make it sound out good music! Amazingg!

[@gameboydmg-0014]

The yellow box on the top right corner in the composer part acts as a finish for the song so you could loop a certain amount of bars, in your case the 8 bars

[@StephenMcLeod]

I'll need to dig out Mario Paint.

[@NickGoblin]

You should know there's a PC version of this software with far less limitations. A few years back people were transcribing Dragonforce songs with it.

[@gonzobmx91]

damn man, I love your's video stuff - the best projects which I have ever seen on YT!! extremely good job!! :)

[@riniraw]

This TV looks like it can reheat my food 🤣

[@leonardticsay8046]

It probably could.

[@kbhasi]

As far as I know, you're sort of close, as that National/Panasonic standalone VHS player model was often used to play training videos in business, including fast food restaurants if I recall correctly.

[@tommym936]

The snes mouse was like dragging an iron around but it was the best game ever.

[@ChaunceyGardener]

There are other music editors available for SNES in Acme Animation Factory and Kaite Tsukutte Asoberu Dezaemon.

[@SgtSega]

About time. Been wondering when you'd get to the Mario Paint composer.

[@sokoloft3]

Had this for many years. I do remember messing around with the music side of things. Suppose this is the first music software I've used. As far as like paint probably being kidpix.

[@hiergibtesnichtszusehen5169]

Love the sound and song! A longer version please!!!!

[@d_vibe-swe]

That jam was extremely catchy!

[@crankenstein]

Awesome! I have a couple of those Panasonic vcr combos. I love them 😍

I love how your channel has the energy of a 90s Speed Garage party.

[@xandermijares342]

Yes!! Always wondered what you could come up with on Mario Paint

[@drsaltbox4742]

Love the classic game console music! Some of the Gameboy and Sega music might be fun options for future videos too!

[@RWL2012]

or past ones...

[@scottspaldingofficial]

LOL That was really cool! It reminds me of 'Music' for the Playstation 1. I created some EPIC music on that thing, and then the memory card (as often happened back then) stopped working and I lost all my saved data. Truly gutted :(

[@awogbob]

I remember finding this at a friend's house, it was his older brothers, but we couldn't find the mouse to operate it but I remember being utterly fascinated. I later found an emulator version for the computer but also around the same time I found garage band on the mac. So may have been the first

[@huntergalloway3944]

I loved this game so much as a kid! Great video!

[@newdykung6775]

If I could circuit bend like the one you did I'll mess up the pitch whatever game I play at that moment lol. Data robot and Flyswatter theme're such a bop. While track name "Mysterious" is so ambiency Love it

[@aaronmcentee9310]

Interestingly enough someone that lived near me decided to circuit bend Mario paint one night. Now we didn't take it apart and mess with the border nothing so as straightforwardly complex. No we opened up that thing on the bottom of the super Nintendo that look like it was going to be an SNES version of 32 x for Sega and while it was on WE jammed forks and butter knives inserted scraping around until I hit something it caused an air so bad somebody wrote code to go to a black screen we're strange objects and things not seen on Mario paint and music and sounds not able to be heard or used on the Mario paint music maker. I couldn't replicate it so at the time I just thought that hey I broke it, 20 years later I realize somebody wrote that program did you do that instead of well doing whatever it would normally do when you stick butter knives and forks into live circuitry 🗿

[@GadgetUK164]

Love the end result =D Watching the previous video now to see how you added that nob =D

[@somedudeRyan]

Everything I ever wanted to do with Mario paint in 1994. Awesome

So nice again. I like ur creativity !

[@mckens02]

You are an amazing human being!

[@oliviersimon5191]

I may be wrong, but I think there was a modified version adding sharps and flats, and more bars to play with! If you ever want to make a follow-up

[@tommj4365]

Yea it's on windows, not sure if it's legal, but you can find KZbin videos of folks recreating popular songs with it

[@SpectrumDIY]

Heck yeah! Cheers for the longer track!(I am just waking up but this popped up and had to give it a watch) EDIT: my super nintendo was more boxy, but it was just the basic super nintendo XD

[@gavster89]

Did you have a NES? That was the predecessor to the SNES and was a lot more boxy

[@Mister_Brown]

probably yours was a us version vs the euro one, the euro one looks like a super famicom

[@cypherdras]

that was awesome, great vid.

[@floramew]

I've played with this a lot, despite not ever owning a SNES or Mario Paint! XD that is to say, I used the digital version of Mario Paint Composer, as a standalone computer file I downloaded. No pitch alteration like you have, but otherwise seemed to work... _mostly_ the same? Idk if it was available in the original, but in the one I used there was an ability to chain different files together as an arrangement, and I used that to make bits repeat rather than inputting the whole set of notes in a second time.

[@MrStephenRGilman]

Also, Mario Paint Composer lets you use alternative sound fonts.

[@destroyerofcitysduck5937]

I love sending these videos to my "gamer" friend just to torture him.

[@NeoBechstein]

great song! please do it again!

[@Hwi1son]

[@MrTableDesk]

to the right of the heart, there's an end bar you can use, if you wanna end it early and loop it.

[@jumboairline]

Love it. Need to visit the museum

[@VeronicaGlassCelestica]

thats so cuuuute, so sad not to hear the long version

[@razerow3391]

That bit you add that sounds like from a 70s action show... Like literally it sounds like its from one of the famous ones... the going from low to high.

[@greekpower5083]

you are amazing like always

[@Sharlenwar]

Man epic! Loved this game when I messed around with it back in the 90's. Too funny!

[@aaronmcentee9310]

When pitched down, it reminds me of chamber music. Also, another, talented young man from the UK Sabre pulse use's the mario paint sounds (almost) extensively in his early productions like the album ChipBreak Wars. Highly recommend. I was never very good with the Mario music part so I usually just try to throw something together. That is because I would pair it as a background for the 16 slide(s) movie. The best one I could ever make and I still remember was a plane comes out of nowhere on fire explodes near a house Yoshi comes running out of the house on fire back and forth back and forth before dropping onto the ground. (LS, the plane would fly past trees also setting them on fire . it took me a week to make.

[@BolearisDeeJay]

Crazy Guy, i love your Sounds 🖤

never knew the ol'SNESsy had a sort-of daw, knew about the circuit bending and midicart for NES. First software I used was the Hammerhead drum machine :D Then it was acidpro 5 I think Only then I got gameboy and NES. You made it sound so cool though! Kinda NYAN CAT like!

[@yetzt]

you can loop it, you just have to put the end in (top right button).

😂 You should really do a mod service for the extra knobs on the SNES

i acquired samples from Mario Paint through a close DJ friend of mine and made a song based on those samples called Subway. i loooove the sound and aesthetic of this game so much. if i could make a music video for that song, it would be of me dancing like a stripper over the Mario Paint music creation screen lmao

Love your content, you're a creative genious! Anyway, can you please one question for me? As much as I see you use your BSP, do you use the MidiControlCenter software with it, or do you just use the hardware? In my experience MCC is trash and doesn't work.

[@stucam86]

If I remember correctly, when using the paint part of the game a little janitor Mario would come out and sweep your creation away if you left it idle for a prolonged period of time.. Anyone remember this?

[@raccoon681]

you might want to switch to a 1702 or 1701 commodore monitor it can do s video and the snes supports it looks great

[@slendermanRblx]

How come the SNES seems to be outputting widescreen when it should be filling the entire 4:3 frame of the CRT monitor? You can tell it is supposed to be 4:3 by looking where there should be circles, they are ovals instead indicating the issue with aspect ratios.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Probably horizontal scale knob was not set right. Ultimately it doesn't really matter. Still shows the image
