saltlick Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I found this really cool website that lets you drag a midi onto it and it shows a 3d virtual piano with falling blocks. You can move it around. But the best thing is it seems to translate all midis into piano arrangements. I was trying it out with some ffx midis and was good fun. I wanted to let people know before the site disappears. https://qiao.github.io/euphony/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I tried having it play the Runescape soundtrack. (Why aren't there any remixes of that?) For some reason it seems to lag/inaccurately play songs that should have computer precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yeah, it does seem to have some timing issues. And it's basically just a piano roll turned on its side, with the piano animation added. You can do something similar in any DAW in about 30 seconds, with better performance.

Slimy Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Synthesia is pretty good if you want to see a piano play midi files Guitar Hero style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 *sigh*Guys, the point is not that it's some kind of innovative practical MIDI analyzer. It's just a cool visualizer, it lives on the web and it has drag and drop. That means everyday people can pull this kind of thing up and have fun with it. They don't have to download shit, or start new song projects and launch some software just to have some pretty animations happen with music. Think smaller, like "pull it up on the iPad and have like 3 minutes of fun" small. Not "run to the workstation PC because you want to see some QUALITY MIDI DATA PLAYBACK".

I'd argue that Synthesia is much better as a cool visualizer. It's accurate, and has a sleeker, non-fps-consuming design... but it's not browser-based so whatever. Thats a good question! Someone just brought up how much they liked that ost the other day. Some tracks that stand out. If anyone wants every midi from the game, just pm me and I'll send it to you. (Note to anyone not familiar with Runescape: during it's 2004-2007ish heyday, the soundtrack was entirely midi. So this 16.3 MB collection of 413 songs and 226 jingles is technically the original soundtrack.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONKERS Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Wow this is great hah.It eats up CPU pretty heavily though, i've seen it go as high as 27% on my i7 950 @4Ghz. And it seems to lag when it's not the webpage in focus.It also doesn't seem to detect the tempo properly , or is that on purpose maybe?But still very cool!

BONKERS Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 oops. Seems Firefox was my problem.Using Chrome fixed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 It worked accurately in Chrome! Unless anything was happening in the background, then it started playing sloppily again. Oh - and it doesn't distinguish between instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
