Is that just the Technodrome's theme music or is it supposed to be a weird hum that the Technodrome makes?
And while we're on the subject, was the Technodrome inspired by the Galacticr Empire's Death Star in Star Wars?
If you want to listen to listen to the original track go to the following link and click on Track 88: http://www.synthmania.com/pn-d50-02.htm
shareThat doesn't really answer my question, but thank you anyway. I downloaded the track and saved the website so I could check out the rest of the tunes over time.
Until someone says otherwise, I'm going to assume it's just the theme song for the Technodrome, albeit a rather weird one.
It's stock music from the site I linked.
shareCool. Like I said, I'm going to assume it's the Technodrome's theme music. It's just such a bizarre theme, which is why I wondered if it was supposed to be a humming noise made by the Technodrome itself. I've never heard no music (if that's what it is) in the Technodrome, but then again, I don't think I've ever not heard some kind of music playing throughout every episode.
"There is no escape, John!"
It starts out sounding like the Technodrome, but then it quickly turns into something that sounds like it's from Rainbow Brite or She-ra.
"There is no escape, John!"
The composer probably needed some music and took it from that music selection to save time. All the music on that site sounds like from the 80s anyway.
shareHoly crap! That's an awesome find!
shareI'm sure that was the Technodrome's/Villain's theme. And I think it may have been inspired by the Death Star. It's interior looked similar to it.
shareIt was the villain theme.
shareand notice how the Technodrome theme is in the last ep too?
shareThere was also another variation of the 'Drome's theme that was played during the first two seasons and some Season 3 eps and was first played in Turtle Tracks notably when Shredder tells off the punks after the Turtles beat them but for some reason they stopped using is after a while.
shareYou mean when Shredder asks them, "Did you get a good look at them? Did they look like reptiles?"?
At first I thought you were referring to when Shredder offers to make the punks more efficient.
It's the Technodrome theme. The cue is called Technodrone and it was produced by a Roland D50. It was a stock roland sound that had been tweeked.

Nearly $500. That's gotta be a hell of a synthesizer. I know it's old, but still...
shareThe D-50 was all the rage back then. It was the new kid on the block. You've probably heard its BREATHY CHIFFER patch in many places.
TMNT was entirely scored with the D-50, a Yamaha TX-802, Roland S-10 sampler, and a Linn Drum. That's the whole deal: 4 boxes.

I feel like I'm going into debt just thinking about those. ;)
shareYou seem to know your stuff. Can you recommend a good synthesizer program? I don't have room or money (or talent) for a real keyboard like that, but I am interested in making or at least reproducing music in that style.
shareNot quite sure what you mean by "synthesizer progarm." If you have a digital audio workstation (like Logic or MOTU) there are all sorts of synth sounds as plug ins. But you need some sort of keyboard to input the sounds (unless you can do step programming). Of course there's Garage Band, and that allows you to paste some loops together. Plus it has included instruments (you still need a keyboard).
There may be some very inexpensive or even free ways to do things, but I don't know those. I think you need to talk to someone at a music store to figure out what kind of a setup you'd need. I don't really think I could advise you on what you need,
Native Instruments has a lot of good standalone synths, but they aren't that cheap. You still need a keyboard to play them.
ARTURIA makes excellent synth reproductions for the comp. The whole package is great, but you can get one synth for aboyt $150.

The nicest thing going, with everything imaginable is OMNISPERE, but that's $500. You'd have every sound you'd need though.

I think you need to find a music store though. I just don't know about entry level programs/

Could I plug the synthesizer into my computer and compose similar to Mario Paint?
shareNow you've gotten into territory with which I'm unfamiliar. I have know clue what can be done with Mario Paint.
But any of the synth plug-ins I suggested really need some sort of keyboard controller,but it can be as small and simple as this.

I thought I was the only one who ever noticed it LOL.
shareCake walk is the program, just by a synthesiser you can hook up to the computer and away you go.
