This is certainly the best version of "live electronic music" I have ever seen... |

I'm guessing you mean the OSX_build sir in subversion? That is just the SDL libraries for Mac. It does make the Mac the easiest platform to compile for, but it's still a bit of an ordeal because you need to install gcc and mlton first. You could try, but I recommend waiting for the binaries unless you like that kind of stuff (I don't!) |
| |
Now I have a macbook pro and I found your Mac OS X build... but the question is: how do I get that running?
(in the meantime: considering buying a guitarhero controller for this) |

Thanks guys! The LEDs are these: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8860
They are crazy bright. If you got 10 of them you could definitely beat the bike lamps bigtime, but they are 80mA each so you're going to need a lot of juice. The laser diodes are:

They are great lasers but didn't come out as well on the hat as I thought they would. |

Awesome! It's come a long way since you showed me. The drums especially seem SUPER fun. And I want to find out what kind of LEDs (or laser diodes?!) you used in the laser suspension womb - I keep losing those fscking bike lights, who wants to pay $15 for an LED in some cheap plastic!? |

i'm so proud to see your baby finally working |

It's 'cause you're all downstroke Tom! |

Vids working again, and I gotta say...
OMG? |

The ambiguity in matching comes from hammer ons and pull-offs. When you finger a button, it could be because you are hammering on that note (if you are currently in-streak) or it could be because you're preparing to play it with a strum. Similarly for pull-offs. It's noticeable if you don't have support for this and use an eager algorithm or one based solely on time. There's a little bit of subtlety about whether you're on-streak, too.
Yes, the auto score generation does hammer-ons and pull-offs automatically too, though it's just based on their proximity to the previous note, which works pretty well it turns out.
It wouldn't be that hard to extend it to score based on how temporally close you were to the matched note, but I don't like that level of persnicketiness, because I feel like if I'm rocking out I should be given some leeway for "swing".
Adam: That is too bad. Anyway good luck getting USB to work on linux. ;)
Adhesion: In the show I played, right before the last segment, it literally goes "WELCOME TO WARP ZONE". No kidding. What do you mean by my style being awkward? It's a bit unconventional I guess, in that I always poke for maximum accuracy. I can't think of anything else weird about it, except maybe how high I strap the guitar (but that's true with real guitars even). |

NICE!!
Too bad that unlike Escape, T7ESH probably won't be allowed in Fedora.

Oh I remembered what else I was going to say: it needs bonus levels and WELCOME TO WARP ZONE. |
| |
Actually it looks like none of the videos on vimeo are available right now, for me at least. Hooray!!! |
| |
The video on vimeo is temporarily unavailable!! No!!!! Anyway before you wrote this post I secretly espied the Belvedere's video, and I have to say your GH style is quite awkward. Therefore, once I actually get off my ass and get around to buying an Xbox and Rock Band you should expect some serious challenges, as I was quite the GH2 connoissieur back in my day (as well as the current connoissieur of some other choice rhythm games).
The auto midi-to-score sounds sweet too. Does it support hammer-ons and the like? It's a little hard to tell from the video and I can't watch it again anyway.
I'm interested in what the ambiguous matching algorithm is like too. Usually more "serious" rhythm games (like those wacky Bemani ones) would be like X ms and deal with it, but they also have different levels of matching as opposed to yes/no. Doesn't that make it hard to compare scores fairly?
Also, this might just get me to finish my electronic drums-to-Rock Band interface project, which has been languishing for quite a time. |
| |
i'm with Arthur -- vimeo says the videos are unavailable.
What a clever idea! :) |
| |
I keep on wondering where you get the time to do this kind of stuff....
not that I can see yet, as the Vimeo thingie says the clips are temporarely offline. |
| |
Excellent project! And finally I know what a laser suspension womb is! :) |
| |
This makes me wish I had usb guitar hero stuff for serious.
Really, really cool. |
| |
Oops... sorry.
Also I was gonna say you didn't even mention the random band name generator which I found by browsing the code. "Facial Fish" for life! |
| |
Sweetness. Nice architectural diagram. I want to hear more about the ambiguity of input/score matching. |

Yes, we do. It's actually on the second lowest tier of songs (Tiers are: Always play, only skip for one concert, don't play in consecutive concerts, and never play.) so it doesn't come out often. I'm glad to hear you say you like it because we like it too, it just never seems to go that well live. We're working on it. |

My favorite song by you guys is the one called "Muse or vampires are going to be pissed that we stole their shit (rec demo)". Do you play that one live? I mean, you must, right? Since playing things live is the whole point of the band. Anyway, um, yay, music and waffles. Two of the finest things in life. |

S/G: Was it called Pots and Pancakes? I also don't really have experience, but I think you'd want a stimulant or something like MDMA to keep the kids up all night. But like I've said in previous posts, I do not support giving drugs to kids.
And no: staying up to 2 is easy! :)
N: Yeah you were fine on the lyrics. Didn't you actually repeat, not rearrange? (It was a good save, "I just want to reiterate that...") I think the worst thing in that song is when I get lost and stop playing for a few chords and we find out that my guitar is 10x louder than yours. How can we make our first song or two more grippy? We need some warm-up song or plan or some shit? |

Sorry, yeah, I had to take it down when I was writing my thesis and it kept getting spamminated or infinite-looping and my machine was having all sorts of hardware failures and I just wanted to be able to finish the damn document. I should put it on spacebar.org again and just ulimit it. |
| |
Okay, yes. To be honest, I only rearranged the lyrics, which means that unless you really listen to the recording a lot you probably won't notice, but still, I like to get everything right... |
