8 bit Mario Brother "Tock.caf" tone for Keyboard

Hey guys, i just wanted to toss this out there in case anyone was interested in 8 bit sounds.

This is a replacement "Tock.caf" file for the keyboard click. This file was created using LMMS Studio with Toad.vst.

Which can be found here: tweakbench.com.

and here: LMMS - Linux MultiMedia Studio

Basically what this person did was create VST instruments that emulates the original chip tones of ye olde 8 bit cartridges (ergo NES games for you kids out there :-)

And I used LMMS studio to find the proper tone on the Piano Roll editor, exported it as a .wav file from LMMS, imported it into iTune 8 as a .aif, and then changed the extension to .caf, copy pasta it into /System/Library/Audio/UISounds using WinSCP and SSH, rebooted and now my keyboard makes a neat little 8 bit high hat shuffle sound when the keys are pressed!

I plan on toying around with some more 8 bit sounds cause they are just cool and i love those old analogue sounds, so when (if) i ever get around to doing more, i will be sure to post them as i go along, and then perhaps one day make a pack!

Also, this is not entirely original to me, there was a youtube video of some fellow who changed his sms, text, voicemail, and i think lock tone to Mario Brothers tones. However when i went to d/l the sound pack the link was dead.

This tone is the high hat sound that was used Super Marion Brothers. Kinda like a Tsch Tsch Tsch sound.

Hope someone can use this!

Oh and Thanks to all the developers that made all this modding possible! You guys gave to us freely, and likewise, any sound that i come up with may freely be used!
