SomethingUnreal | Bawami with live MIDI input (channel mapping demo) [rev 99] @SomethingUnreal | Uploaded 12 years ago | Updated 17 minutes ago
I just realised that I've never shown Bawami (my not-yet-released MIDI player*) playing live MIDI input from a keyboard, so I cheaply threw this video together in an instant. Also, I finished making this shiny new "channel mapping" ability this evening. Oh well, maybe rushed videos are still okay sometimes, like in the good old days? ^^;
Once again, the MIDI is made by SX (http://homepage1.nifty.com/SX/). It's a rather complex MIDI file (e.g. it uses MIDI channel filters) that I did not show off well. I should make a proper demonstration of the various MIDI messages which Bawami supports some time.
*BaWaMI is released now! See lots of info and download it here:

I got bored and thought this looked nice, so I got my camcorder stupidly close to record it. Getting the focus right was a pain.
These sparks are being made by the inverter from a plasma ball arcing to ground. I dont know the exact voltage, but I guess its around 2 thousand volts (not a job for my voltmeter). This means the amperage is extremely low, but I sure still wouldnt like to touch it.
The second half of the video shows the insulation of the ground wire glowing blue (which I thought looked awesome) and burning. Its clearly not meant for such high voltages.
In related news, I recently finished watching To Aru Kagaku No Railgun...")

Heres a much-needed compilation video using some of the many videos I recorded at London MCM Expo (May 2009). It mainly focuses around cute things because this video was originally going to be for the Touhou cosplayers, and... well, you know, I didnt think soldier or Alien cosplays would fit in very well. I wonder if you can call a Dalek cute though.
The sudden song change is because Cirnos Perfect Maths Class had so many different parts that it was too hard for me to be lazy while editing the video. I tried to at least change the song when it reached an appropriate place.
EDIT: Whoa, sorry about the sync problem after about half way through. I did rush this, after all, but I didnt think it would be that bad... =/

![[Time-lapse] Peaceful April Sunset [HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CT1xmMF4C1A/hqdefault.jpg "[Time-lapse] Peaceful April Sunset [HD]
I decided to try my hand at another time-lapse video, but this time, I tried to make it more peaceful and less dramatic. =)
This time, its at a constant 48x speed, so we have just under 3 hours of real life squeezed into a little under 4 minutes. Also, this time, my camcorder was facing out of an open window, so yay, no annoying/confusing reflections!
I had no idea that what seems to be Venus would happen to be visible as a bright dot a little way underneath the moon (at least, its visible if you watch in HD). Also, keep an eye out for the clouds which look like giant soaring birds between the two houses, at around 02:30.
The sound is audio taken from the actual full video - 25-second segments crossfaded together, whose starting times match the time in the time-lapse video. So you get a good idea of what it sounded like, without it sounding stupid from being played at 48x speed. =p")

Please read this before commenting!
The Japanese computer-generated voice Hatsune Miku (初音 ミク) from Vocaloid2 singing Im Gonna Be (500 Miles), originally by The Proclaimers. Hatsune Miku is the first voice in a series of character voices produced for Vocaloid2.
The video was not originally intended to be the main point.
I just synchronized some animations with the song because I wanted to put it up here.
EDIT: And damn, it really suffered from the YouTube compression. For the first time, it also seems to have de-synced the video and audio too. Anyway...
Because the voice is intended for Japanese lyrics, the voice doesnt sound fluent in English, but that doesnt stop the cuteness.
(In fact, it kind of adds to it...)
There is a lesser-known CG voice doing the backing singing (on the right speaker - theres a stereo version available, check the bottom of this description). Its a voice I made using Virtual Singer on Melody Assistant. If the second Vocaloid2 voice in the character series had been released yet, I would have used it, but unfortunately that will not be released until the end of December 2007.
I know I got lazy with the video editing near the end, thats what happens when youve spent 11 days working on it.
I did not make any of the illustrations used in this video! I just synchronised them to the lyrics or beat.
If you want to know anything about whats in the video, please CHECK THE CREDITS at the end! ^^
ENJOY~!

- - MIKU / VOCALOID2 INFO:- -
Cypton Future Media (the creator of the Hatsune Miku voice)s home page for their Vocaloid2 voices is here (Japanese, of course) :
http://www.crypton.co.jp/mp/pages/prod/vocaloid/
Miku costs ￥15,750, which is about £74.87 or $149.70.
Ive made a brief guide on how to go about getting Japanese voice on Vocaloid2 to sound like theyre singing English. Its not at all straight-forward though, and some knowledge of Japanese syllables would be extremely useful. Heres the link:
