SomethingUnreal | MCM Expo: Cirno's Perfect Caramelldansen (compilation) [HD] @SomethingUnreal | Uploaded 15 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Here's 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 didn't 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 Cirno's 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 didn't 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:

We were walking away with some hardstyle blasting from a sound suitcase wed made and used throughout the day, when a group of people started showing off some moves to it.
This was at just gone 6 PM, after the first day of London MCM Expo, on Saturday the 25th of October, just outside the ExCel building.
The songs played are kenta.v-ez - Re-LibErAtioN pLus+ (Shingo Dj remix) and Shingo Dj - Cielo, part of one long mix of songs by Shingo DJ for an event called Otaku Hardcore Revolution 2. This was an online event where primarily hardcore music, made by many different artists, and prepared sometimes several months before the event, was streamed live on Internet radio.")
![Caramelldansen Piano Attempt [HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EW9sZL3_9Vs/hqdefault.jpg "Caramelldansen Piano Attempt [HD]
There are at least 4 very obvious and cringe-worthy mistakes which make me think I shouldnt be uploading this, but after trying for quite a few hours over 2 days, this was the best I could do. Maybe someday after more practise Ill try it on a real piano.
This is me trying to play Caramelldansen as Ive learnt it from memory, to a metronome at 165 BPM.
Also, my Remi plush fell onto the keys many times during failed attempts but didnt during this most successful one, so I had to force her to. =P
Technical stuff:
The keyboard is a Yamaha PSR-E313. Played music can be recorded onto internal memory. While playing this, it was recording, and later I played it back while its headphone output was connected to my soundcard, to have a nice clean recording of just the piano sound without the metronome, key presses, and my sniffing due to hayfever (except for when I laughed at my failure). xD")

It only took 5 years, but you can finally download all the MIDIs Ive made for the Roland SC-88Pro synth!
Well, I actually started making a lot more than 12, but most of them got abandoned, and these are all the ones that managed to survive my short attention span and make it all the way through to completion. If you just want to hear them, Ive already uploaded videos of all of them.
I mention this in the video and on the download page, but these wont sound so good on non-Sound Canvas synths. Ive made special versions of a few MIDIs, which are designed to work better on simpler synths (simplifying percussion and moving it all onto one channel, emulating slower attacks by using expression control changes, etc), which are included in the downloads where they exist, but its very time-consuming and not always possible to even make it sound half-good, so I didnt do this for all of my MIDIs. They should sound fine on the newer SC-8850 too, and Id be curious as to how they sound on an older Sound Canvas like the SC-55.
BaWaMI, my MIDI software synth, can sound acceptable playing most of them - at least if you spend a minute or two adjusting volumes and instruments. You can also use it to see what the MIDI Unfortunately, it would take a lot of work in a MIDI editor to get them to play well on a Yamaha XG synth, though.

Heres the latest version of Bawami, my MIDI player, playing Kamotos MIDI of the theme 「東風 -afternoon-」, from the visual novel Clannad.
This video is both to show off some new things in my software, while letting you hear how it performs with this particular MIDI file. This is the biggest update since I first released Bawami to the public, and I changed even some smaller things such as the character of the reverb (theres now damping, so that hihats and treble such as the shakers in this MIDI dont sound painfully loud anymore).
