this is the EASIEST way to have multiple audio players. I took these from my main website because they're very easy to use.

The Main Theme was composed first and established the style I wanted from the rest of the soundtrack. The first section of this song doubles as the theme of The Blog Without a Face.

This was also composed fairly early on. It may change from being Frank's theme if I find a better spot for it. For instance, it may work instead as an "Objection" theme, for when Frank makes a pretty good point in court. But placed here, track-wise, it leads well into the following track.

Court is in Session

The theme of King's Court, under the jurisdiction of the Honorable Supreme Hat. This plays every time a court session begins and is designed to loop well. Towards the end of the loop, the piano plays a variation on the melody from the end of the Main Theme.

The Cross-Examination music is the glue that holds the Ace Attorney games together, as you will hear it on a loop many times, sometimes for very long times. It gets caught in your head, and you don't mind hearing it for that long. While the actual games generally root their C-E music in a piano melody, I rooted mine in a bass riff that gradually wanders. I have put this to the test and had it on for hours while I did other things, and I did not want to turn it off in the end.

The allegro variation plays during the "boss battles," the final testimonies, the climactic and often hardest logic puzzles. It plays a variation of the moderato piece at a faster tempo (hence, "allegro"), but also continues the composition with an additional section in a different key signature. I made sure to do all that too with mine. I can and have easily listened to this on a loop for hours.

This piece plays whenever Frank Slenderman makes a damn good point, turning the tides of the case and putting the prosecution on the backfoot. In Ace Attorney, Cornered is iconic; it is victorious, melodic, and exciting. My version is not as melodic, instead opting for a broken melody to fit in with the jazzy PLAN 31 style, but I root the piece in the traditional Ace Attorney Cornered riff (dun dun dun dun-dun-dun, dun dun dun dun-dun-dun) and made.... a pumping dance number. In hindsight, I made a later-generation Pokemon gym boss theme. Anyway, it's also very loopable. The melody is a variation on the melody in "Of Tension."

A mainstay of the Ace Attorney series is the iconic prosecutor character. RISE OF MCFEAR gives us the Black Mask, who has layers within him. This piece is rooted in a composition by Lindsay (my collaborator for Sunsetters), but I've done a lot of editing on it by this point. This song contains all the PLAN 31 OST staples, and ends with a representation of the Black Mask's hidden depths.
