One Laptop Per Child : Edge Start Up Sounds

Originally posted by germcevoy[image]

As some of you may already know, Edge engineered/played/orchestrated/made the start up sound for the XO laptop which was made as part of the One Laptop Per Child initiative. Here is that sound. Only 4 seconds below and sounds exactly like Beautiful Day. Files have been converted to mp3.

All credit to 'crayon' who searched through all of the code on his own laptop to find these and to 'indementia' for sharing on U2mp3s.

(the tone makes a nice text alert for your mobile)

If anyone's got another operating system pop it in your post and I'll find out for you.

Picture tutorial coming soon if there's enough ask for it (for Ubuntu and XP)...
