Can we put one of those super-awesome lake reflection java apps below all the titles too?

And some midi music. Videosift needs midi.

I've been using this for the last few days and it's a lot shittier than expected.

No stereo, very noisy limiting.

In regards to how this stacks up to other loop devices, this is pretty shit. Most other prosumer loopers have stuff like fx, stereo input/output as well as midi. Totally different ballgame. But it's a fun and cheap little app nonetheless.

I want a MIDI version of this, so I can go back and play DooM with it in the background...

.WAD file hacking = good times.

lol. getting pretty worked up over a $50 midi controller.

fucking with one wouldn't get you very far since it doesn't make any sound on it's own.

Pretty impressive how the music has evolved too!
I can still remember spending 3hrs trying to get my soundblaster's midi output to work properly for WCI/II, the tones were always off by just a little bit. But there was something special about the sound of midisynth that gave a unique sound to games from that era.

I'll never miss having to manually mess around with autoexec.bat and config.sys files to load drivers and set paths, but there's something from that era in the way of music that's missing.

Arrg. That horrible MIDI of the Tchaikovsky has wrong notes in it!

I want one. although Id rather have just the device with sensors and then feed that into a pc and let my pc do all the synth stuff.
no saving after 100 internal saves is TOTALY RETARDED.
the problem with these devices is they are counter productive. with my usb keybord and FL I can just play away and I can have every thing saved , FL autimaticly saves the last 500 or so key presses so if u happen to make something cool by accident u dont have to try and rmeber what u did.
its like the hardware manufactures r stuck in the past.

That must be new to FL. Either that or I never figured out how to get FL to do that. I do remember being able to record key strokes of my USB controller, but it would only record the note, not the time I held the note down.


its been in Fl for a while its called score logger u probably didnot find it because its in a random place.

then you can enjoy looking through all the shit you pressed on your midi devices lol.

This reminds me of the time I spent fucking around in Sony Acid Pro's midi thing...never did anything this badass obviously, but that's what the visualization looks like basically.

I think in a few years this guy may have the skill to go beyond midi. Fingers crossed.

Westy, actually the software front on music synthesis is pretty piss poor, with PC based wavetable midi pretty much extinct. You can still grab lots of sound patches from downloads, but they pretty much get put back into hardware wavetables and the pianos themselves now.

Btw the Atelier line of organs runs over 20k.

weh, maybe I'm wrong. Here are the foot pedals in action from same performer. Is the right pedal use to load new midi tables? And the left foot is a freaking 88-key foot piano??

i understand how it works im just saying might as well just get a reli decent usb midi keyboard and get some relay good software save yourself a tun of money and u wont have to lug this thing around , if you realy give an ass about real peano sound then get a real one a anal audience certainly wont appreciate this anny more thay would a midi keybord, so why spend the mony on it when a usb keybord would do just fine and be 10x more practical.

It reminds me of when i used to play hockey and people would buy a stick for 250 pounds when a generic wooden stick for 10 pounds worked just fine ore evan a metal stick with a glass fiber end. i just dont like products where you are paying for bs rather than noticable quality, ovously if your loaded u would never concider the cost of something as an issue and porbably get 30 of these.

all it is is a piano that has the components of a real pano just made shorter then uses a processor to remodulate the false sound into the correct sound so u get all the feal of a piano. Id be perfectly happy with a USB midi piano if your going to be this anal about your method of input you might as well drown yourself.

OMG this one has to rate high in the pantheon of awful Microsoft commercials. But as cringe-worthy as it was, I couldn't help but think that the software itself might be kind of neat. Damn you Microsoft.

You like midi music, eh? I've got some polyphonic ring tones I'll sell ya for a song!
