This is actually turning into a pretty big thing. Pay attention to the Facebook Event Page as a pre-party/open-mic is forming.

Re: Can you read music? (102 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Not any more. I'm notoriously rebellious of classical notions of music. (Notation, fingerings, theory) One of my piano teachers saw my fingerings and knew it was wrong but said it works for me and never bothered me again. She was a real stickler too. But if given time I can pick it back up.
I have a really good memory/muscle memory for music.
On a related note: I can sightread from a daw piano roll while it's playing pretty well. Sometimes I convert sheet music onto one just to read it.

Re: Pianocade Chiptune Synthesizer (46 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
The arcade buttons are actually surprisingly comfortable. I guess that's because I have experience with both keyboards and arcade machines.
However, for those of you who don't have experience with arcade hardware I saw a classical pianist step up to the Pianocade and he had no trouble playing Flight of the Bumblebee. This isn't someone involved in the project who'd been practicing all day long, it was just a average musician.
Well that's refreshing to hear.

Ugh. Arcade buttons would be sooo annoying. There's so many tricks you could do with actual keys.
oh well, not like I wanted it.

Oh I forgot about the cloth ones, that one on the left is handy. I got one of my cases as a bonus when I bought a dmg for it's guts on eBay. Ended up fixing that boy up and put it in the orange ex-clearboy case.

Re: an0va's busking and performing thread (42 replies, posted in General Discussion)
i have said it before, if you are gigging you are an entertainer. make sure you entertain people (OTHER people, entertaining yourself does not count).
edit: i feel the same way about busking. if people using a certain street or public space don't want to hear your music, it's selfish and inconsiderate to force it upon them.
This. All of this.
I've done my bit of busking and I've had shop owners, police, and security guards come up and told us we're doing good and to keep playing and I've had some tell us to leave. You apologize for the disruption, and leave. You have to respect that not everyone wants to hear you and there's a point where you should stop.
Best time busking (non chiptune): we were playing behind like a Target shopping mall, and all the workers who were on break, security, the cleaning crew, and some groupies from another spot we were just busking at all stood around us and cheered as we played. Uh, we were drums, guitar and vocals, and me on my microkorg.
Busking can be very rewarding, rep wise
