"In response to the widely publicized complaints from TV viewers and broadcasters of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Waves is proud to unveil a solution which dramatically reduces the problematic sound of the omnipresent Vuvuzela trumpet favored by South African soccer fans."

Contrary to the current sentiment, I love the vuvuzela and it's hypnotic tone, I wish there were a plugin to enhance it's frequency so as to drown out the dullard remarks of the English commentry

yes, i think so too. soccer is a dull sport anyway. if not for the drunken fools rioting in the stands and the flopping, nothing of interest might happen in a whole game.... :lol:

Love the sheet music - will try it on modular III later.
Have you got the Samba version for when I watch Brazil?
I remember hearing the hip hop variation of it and I liked that too!

Any other members got a favourite version of this track?

It's a game played by a lot of men in baggy shorts who kiss each other a lot and have a serious sense of the over dramatic when it comes crying foul.

I don't remember that game when I was playing football. Maybe if I'd been paid the same as these footballers I would've fallen foul of the current style of the game too!


I'm still stuggling to find a vuvuzela instrument plugin and now that we have sheet music too I'm eager as ever to find one but I am being lazy as I do have modular.

The empire strikes back!!

"German side Borussia Dortmund have banned vuvuzelas from their stadium. "These horrid things will be forbidden from the Westfalenstadion," said general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke."

"Our fans don't want to have these trumpets," said Dortmund's general manager, Hans-Joachim Watzke. "It is nerve-racking and completely drowns out any chanting."

:lol:

nerve racking and it disturbs the chants?!!

that sounds like a good reason to use it....in their own stadiums, people know what they want, so it's all good with me if they ban them(not that they care if i care, or anything,,,just saying...). :lol:

there sure is a lot of fuss over this though. picky, picky...

Not only because you insist on calling a good game soccer and playing football like rugby for girls.
