Here's my spooktacular treat to you!

This is the music that plays during the loading screen in the ZX Spectrum version of the Addams Family.
Tired of waiting for the tape to load before you can start playing the game?
That bunch of noise making you suffer from sensory deprivation?
Like the Not Going Out writers and want to make jokes about it? ("Is that you, Dad? Or is someone loading a game on a ZX Spectrum?")
Don't worry, Ocean have their loading screens covered with some impressive coding that allows them to play music.
And some really cool music at that!

I tried to keep this as close to the original as I could.
It was simple, but not without its difficulties.
For example, I used a sharp pitch bend effect for the bass to give it a pseudo-drum effect.
The problem was that WinJammer's Controller Fill only works when it feels like it.
Like, sometimes it will finish on the value you typed in and sometimes it finishes on a nearer value.
I don't know of anything else that does this.
Luckily, the song is quite repetitive, so after I added the values of 0 at the end of each bend manually, it was smooth sailing, because I could just do some copypasting and the rest is history.

Overall, this MIDI didn't turn out too bad.

Nothing serious here.
It's reccommended you listen to this MIDI in a device that supports amplified pitch bends.

And finally, Happy Halloween!
And until next time...goodnight out there, whatever you are!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
