Reconstituted MIDIs

Here's my 2 reconstituted MIDIs. I used Ableton's instrument library and used the Phaser, Compressor, and Vocoder effects.

Midi stuffs

So something I've been thinking about getting is a MIDI guitar I found a while back... But then I though hmm... I already have three guitars, and as much as I would love to get this, I don't have THAT much money, and I don't have any space.  I still think it's a really cool thing, though, and is definitely worth mentioning.  So here's the link to the MIDI guitar:

Check out the video on the site.  I know I'm probably going to get one some time in the future.  It's just a matter of when.

Hamsters Creating MIDI Music

In my search for MIDI files, I came across this project by a Cornell student named Levy Lorenzo. He designed a set up which made it possible for six hamsters to trigger inputs through their movements, which were then routed through a MIDI sequencer. The music was created with 3 voices spanning three octaves and three rhythmic tiers, each with varied by two hamsters which modified the rhythm and the note sequence. The posted MIDI file on the project's webpage is surprisingly easy to listen to, with no random-sounding hamster chortling.

If the hamsters do an album, I hope they call me to design the album cover...
