Anyone know where I can hear a sample of the five tones? You know the ones - "If everything's ready on the dark side of the moon, play the five tones" - PARP, PARP, PARP, PARP, PARP!

Cheers

rent the film? work out the melody on a keyboard?

sorry if thats not too helpful! FreeSound doesn't actually have copyrighted samples on it - only 100% original or public domain, I think.

Ah, very simular sounding instrument . I think the last note is off... is that intentional? Maybe in the original the notes change register/instrument and that makes alot of difference?

the last two notes are off... but darned close.

I think you start with D -
then up major 2nd to E
down major 3rd to C
down an octave to a lower C
then up a fifth to G maybe... I give up... I've got work to do...

hock:

Good grief, yes that 4th note is not what I intended! It should be a musical third below what I used, i.e. a G instead of B.

Dunno what's wrong with the last note, sounds OK to me, if a trifle short.

I'll try again

I meant to type 2nd to last - d'oh

A second attempt is now on FS http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=26084

Should make a nice mobile phone ringtone!

ah, thats it. sweet. All you need now is a cruise ship fog horn doing the last note for the alien response

Hehe, nice one. What we need is a vibraphone version.
