The final chord in the James Bond Theme I believe is an EmMaj9 chord. I can't seem to input that into BIAB.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Frank,

As I understand it, EmM9 = E G B D# F#

With this in mind, you could try...

GMaj7#5/E

This should give you all the notes and, with E in the bass, should be the sound you are after.

If you are using Realtracks, whether or not this plays will depend on the Realtrack you're running and if the chord was recorded when the RT was created.

It may be a good idea to test the chord using MIDI tracks to begin with to see if it gives the sound you are after.

Regards,
Noel

Depending on scores, you may find also a Em69 as the final chord of the James Bond Theme.

Noel has it right. Gmaj7#5/E You have to spell out the maj and use the number # sign, not the + sign.

I have no idea what that was about. Could you explain more? Why did you call it Noel's Theme?

If it was supposed to be humorous, I missed it completely. If it is a reflection or reference on the help and assistance provided by any member in this Forum to a James Bond Theme, I am not sure how I should be amused.

I'm sure I have missed something here.

There should be a bit of a warning with that link. The download is surrounded by click-bate with installer files.

There most be a better why to share a .sgu file?

Yes. I didn't like the delivery mechanism either. I used a lot of A/V checking before I opened anything. The source seemed to come from some sort of bloat-ware delivery.

Unlike the old saying "if you build, it they will come"

In BIAB "what you notate will not always play". I looked at the file, cute! But I would say this is a bust for BIAB, that chord does not sound right and what is notated by BIAB don't look right.

But I suspect we already new a BIAB RT would not play a GMaj7#5/E. But I will be glad to defer judgement to my more musically knowledgeable forum mates if you have a different conclusion. grin

Sorry, and i used to think mediafire was OK. Not so thus. I'll move the file else where. Just the one chord combined with the used style & RT produced some nice moving soundscapes .... F
