Here's the entire alphabet:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A M Y= A
B N Z= A#
C O= B
D P= C
E Q= C#
F R= D
G S= D#
H T= E
I U= F
J V= F#
K W= G
L X= G#
(EDIT: Played with it a bit, and nothing obvious. If you take synth to mean 'lower letters' and piano to mean 'higher letters' you get something like FQUCOMFBNGQUQMOOKECHFXXX. It appears we need to do something else on top of this.)

Nice work, and yes it is indeed bank, check the source. Now, knowing this game well, the blankness could actually be a clue. Or the name. I don't know. I'm confused.

Maybe we need to solve something else first.
Usually updates to chaton mean a new site correct? so the background image has changed to the blindfolded girl... but i can't find any updates on the sites with that pic.....

Good solve guys, anyone fancy telling me how the F*** you did it?
I get where the alphabet came from, but what does the two tone stuff mean and exactly how did you manage to get the word out of it.

Okee, longer explanation:
Here were the notes that I was working with (they're not all right, since we had to fiddle with some of the letters, and also note that they aren't all of them, since Puppy got the end part right away):
Code:
D C# F A# B A D A# A# E C# F C# A B G E B
h h h h h h h h
The 'h's indicate the high notes. Here's jbd's alphabet again:
A M Y= A
B N Z= A#
C O= B
D P= C
E Q= C#
F R= D
G S= D#
H T= E
I U= F
J V= F#
K W= G
L X= G#
For a high note, you choose the higher letter (ignoring the Y and Z for the first two), and for a low note you choose the lower. So, for the first D, you get 'R,' for the C# you get 'E,' etc. If you try this out with my letters above, you'll get some garble around the "back" part of "reincarnatedbacktohell" (and the hell part isn't there at all), but it'll mostly work. Music puzzles are messy. Does that all make sense?
