First edition TAS of 2012
Hi, Do you think it would be possible to play music with the ocarina of ocarina of time with TAS ? My idea is simple : A software (yay, simple... eeer....) which would work like midi : you have the choice between many sounds (all the ones which are possible) and you put them in a "partition", and then the software generate a movie of all the input to make this song... I think i'm not the first to think of something like that, but I didn't found any topic about that, and I would like to see other opinions... :p

Swordless Link has uploaded songs played on the Ocarina with tools (but no software like you said). He's played the full version of most of the ocarina songs, as well as music like the Simpsons theme intro and the Super Mario Bros. Theme.

@CoolKirby @rog I know it's possible, and I saw the SL videos, but I was wondering if we could simplify even more that... Or maybe that's what rog was saying :p

If you map out the notes, it should be simple enough to convert a midi file to the appropriate button presses. The hardest thing would be mapping the buttons, which has apparently already been done.
