Hello!
It was such an unexpected discovery that your face immediately came to mind.

I don’t have perfect pitch, so I can only catch the main melody, but if what this person is saying is true, does it include Gaster’s motif?
If you don’t mind, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Hi there! Always a pleasure to see you in my inbox.
So I've reviewed the post, and for my followers who I assume mostly speak English, it says: "I was randomly copying Premonition by ear (I wonder if it's right...) and I noticed something This song is made with the scale (plus an octave) of "Gaster's Theme" It's BPM66, so this song has a strong Gaster element~"
I can confirm the transcription is correct, and I've copied the song directly from the UT Piano Book below:
Now, I take some issues with what this person is claiming, and to explain why, I would like to describe what is happening here. This is a repeating pattern, with the left hand playing a perfect fifth and the right hand playing a root position major chord one semitone above the left hand. This repeats up two semitones, back down, and down another two semitones.
The person in the video has taken the second note of the left hand, and the bottom and top notes of the major chord played by the right hand, which is indeed the root > up one half step > up one perfect fifth pattern that Gaster's motif uses. However, why omit the third of the chord? You can pretty much selectively choose notes from just about any song to achieve the same result. If the pattern had moved in half steps like mus_st_him does, I would be more inclined to believe this was intentional, but I believe this is coincidental since all root position major chords have this perfect fifth in them.
NOW, on the topic of the tempo, I put the mp3 file into FL Studio, which is the same software that Toby uses for his music, and I think 66 BPM is just slightly too slow. HOWEVER, since you can adjust the tempo in FL Studio to the thousandth decimal place, I believe the correct tempo lies somewhere between 66.06 and 66.08, meaning that it could be a BPM of 66.06, or even 66.066, but the difference is so fine I can't know for sure.
I hope you enjoyed this needlessly complicated analysis of a 29 second loop, and I hope you have a good day!
