Add Ocarina to the Music Extension

Starstriker3000

There's a game that I'm making, and I want to add a little bit of Zelda influence to it, an ocarina that the player can play. However, I can only get five notes by pulling the sounds from Ocarina of Time. I want Ocarina added to the music extension. It'll be useful in making Zelda games that contain custom songs because you'll be able to use all sorts of notes without having to pull any notes from Ocarina of Time or buy your own Ocarina to record yourself playing.

useful also due to cultural influences…. plus i often play one in animal crossing new horizons, and love it. i hope the ST considers it.

psst! Hit ctrl + shift + down to see the rest!

For whatever reason mister Jon Arbuckle got removed ;-; I'll find a replacement GIF later

Anyways hi, I'm SK

I've been on this site since I was 10 years old. I am currently 15

I have a major addiction to sweet tea and draw a crap ton of stuff in my free time (not all of which is scratch appropriate). I post whatever I want to on the main site and mostly manage the collaborations directory and answer questions in QaS on the forums

I have over 2000 posts lol, a huge chunk of them being from when I was 11-12 during the height of COVID

If by any chance the post you''re reading is from early 2021 or before, please forget that post exists since it is cringey

Ocarinas sound similar to flutes, so I guess you could use the flute instrument instead?

you're forgetting the copyright problems.

Flutes sound close enough.

The Ocarina wasn't invented by Nintendo (surprisingly); the type of ocarina that Link uses in that game dates back to 19th century Italy and predecessors have existed for thousands of years prior (from the research I've done). If the ST used the exact sample from OoT, then they'll likely get in trouble. However, the sound of an ocarina itself isn't copyrighted.

…and that's 15000 posts lol

I feel like this would create a bunch of problems:
“Hey, if the ocarina is Scratch, why not X? X is a part of my culture!”
“Yeah, put X in Scratch!”
“No, put Y in Scratch, it is more important and influential!”
“Well, if we're going to put in those, why not Z?”
..and so on and so forth.

Yep. If they make an exception for one instrument, they'll have to make exceptions for all the others too.
If you really want an ocarina in your project, you can upload the sound of a note being played on an ocarina and use the pitch blocks to alter which note it plays.
