Decades ago I was in a game parlor. Over the din of other machines this music caught my attention. I listened more closely. Beautiful counterpoint. I wanted more. So I called Williams begging to know who wrote the music for Pinbot and how I could explore more from them. They put me onto Chris Granner. I called him and begged for more of his music. He sent me a cassette with some more of his stuff on it and it was great! I wore it out. I'm so glad to find Chris' music online now. My faves after Pinbot are White Water main theme and Taxi. Listen to how he weaves voices together.
Stunning. For a few years I was a technician at a popular chain of video game arcades in Australia, and have fond memories of this machine and still remember ever single musical note it produced. It's still a work of art to this day.
Came here from accidentally getting PIN•BOT for my NES. I was surprised by the feel of the music, and the whole board in general, so I wanted to see what the real deal was like. Really cool.
Not OP but I can think of 2 ways. First would be dumping the audio ROMs and playing the data on some sort of emulator. Second would be to hook the pins that output to the speaker to a recorder and run the audio tests, then edit it together.

Bill Parod wrote the high score and Chris Granner did the rest ALL OF IT, fabulous!
Check out the soundtrack for williams space station they are amazingly similar
We used to have this machine in our basement. I used to just let the music play on its own. Thanks for sharing
“PIN•BOT CIRCUITS ACTIVATED”
“NOW I CAN SEE YOU”
Fantastic quality! Thank you
FINALLY, *WE CONTROL THE UNIVERSE*

This is fucking bad ass!!
3:10 this could be probably one of the best music arrangements in this cabinet because this song actually has a bit of movement to it
Man the audio is so crisp
4:47 and here is the second best song
Someone please do a remix because this song is definitely remix worthy
How did you rip the audio?
