SomethingUnreal | Animecon 2011: Kuroshitsuji / Black Butler (winning cosplay act) [HD] @SomethingUnreal | Uploaded 13 years ago | Updated 6 hours ago
This was the 10th cosplay act at Animecon 2011 in Almelo, the Netherlands, on May 7th (Saturday). It ended up being the winning act in the competition.
No microphones were used for this act, so I tried to make the speech easier to hear in editing, but there's still a lot of background noise (I was at the back of the hall =/ ).

[HD]
We were hit by a large amount of snow early this February in 2009 and I was eager to catch some shots with my HD camera to go along with a song which Id recently got addicted to. The song used is a cut-down version of FREEZING ON ME by IOSYS (I had to cut it down from 4m40s since I didnt record enough different video to last that long without the finished video ending up uninteresting). Its a remix of Cirnos theme from Touhou Project, and with Cirno being an ice fairy and associated with the number 9, this was too perfect an opportunity for me to miss.")

This was the announcing of the winners of the AMV competition on 20th September at Abunai! 2009 in Zwolle, Holland. Congratulations, everyone!
Sorry about not recording it from the very beginning, but I was desperately trying to change the battery in my camcorder as fast as I could, in the dark.
Anyway, Ive added annotations to show what was being projected on the wall (which I didnt show, most of the time), with links to the AMVs here on YouTube, but heres the info again:

It actually works! Well, its first ever print-out could certainly do with some improvements, but to be honest, Im happy its even intelligible at all! Part 7 in my super-basic, Arduino-controlled printer project.
It should be better when I at least have a stable and level tray for the paper (or whatever) to sit on. I have an idea for an alternative to a heavy sheet of steel, which you should be able to see in the next video. Perhaps the PSU fan will have arrived by then, too...
Also, enjoy the in-sync 50 FPS if you can! That pen flicks back and forth at stupid speeds, so a high frame rate is actually useful here.")
![[MIDI] The River (Ghosts Of Paraguay) [SC-88Pro]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hrC4oVdGShk/hqdefault.jpg "[MIDI] The River (Ghosts Of Paraguay) [SC-88Pro]
I tried to remake my favourite liquid dubstep song for the ever-aging Roland SC-88Pro synth (18 this year!), complete with fancy percussion and a reversed piano effect, because I wanted a challenge. I actually started this in August 2014, got it about 40% done and then lost motivation, and finished it off in the last week.
The top-left is the 88Ps display, the text below it is every MIDI message (displayed by Bawami, my own MIDI soft-synth), and the background is a view of most of the notes (top part - unfortunately, I couldnt capture the view of all 128 MIDI notes) and all control changes (bottom part). Im trying something a little different this time - a smoothly-scrolling piano roll made possible by Sekaiju (the MIDI editor program)s ability to print the pianoroll view. I used a virtual printer driver (PDFCreator) to print the pianoroll to a series of images, batch-crop (FSViewer) and stitch them together (IrfanView), and then simply pan it at the right speed on the video editor.
This is my new biggest MIDI yet, both in duration and file size (138 KB) thanks to those thousands of expression changes to get the reversed piano effect (simply changing the pianos attack time did not sound good).
I am working on a dedicated page on my web site for hosting all MIDIs Ive made for the SC-88 Pro synth and any modified, general-purpose versions which I made to make it sound at least acceptable on other synths. Please be aware that it is often very tedious (and sometimes, downright impossible) for me to make simplified versions which sound good, so I dont intend to make them often. The page will also show the various features of the synth used by each MIDI, for any curious people like myself who find that stuff interesting. Itll also act as a warning for how bad the MIDI will sound if played on a different synth, since some of my MIDIs are basically built around the 88P.
EDIT: Its done! You can download all of my SC-88Pro MIDIs here:
http://somethingunreal.homeip.net/88pmidi/
I have a lot of MIDIs started but very little motivation to finish them recently. Among them are Verge (Shimamiya Eiko), Borderland (Kawada Mami), Planeptunes Theme ver. Re;Birth (Neptunia), Im Not Okay (My Chemical Romance), You Are Alive (Fragma), fragments of various hardstyle songs, and the first one I ever started making for the 88P in 2012: AirFort-JP Hardcore mix (Minamotoya). I really have to finish at least some of these some time.
