Nice article! Thanks for sharing! (and I of course appreciate the Black MIDI reference)

I had not heard of black mini until I read this. It's incredible. I'd like to try my hand at a piece.

Lucasfilm lost the original recording of the sound.

lol

Must have been the day they decided to finally spring for that backup harddrive, after all, I reckon.

Someone recently posted this topic, at gearslutz. I got confused about what forum I was on, for a second!

I programmed my own version of it on my SY99 synth:

Mike's THX

Haha. I know right. How on earth could they loose it. That makes me not feel as bad that I don't have crazy offsite backups and cloud backups and 14 versions of everything. I do have 3 copies of everything though so I think I'm ok-ish.

That sounds great! Nice job on the programming.

I'm imagining this is how it went when they tried to recover the original sound
