Piano-ex-machina: mingus Keyboard
My US-keyboard technique could use some work, but here goes:



This program will soon be available in a new example program directory in the mingus repository and is the first application demonstrating mingus' new fluidsynth support. The program is controlled by the keyboard (that is - the one you use to type) and chords get recognized while you play (not shown in this version). The graphical stuff and event handling is done by pygame for now.

The video was recorded with gtk-recordmydesktop. Audio was channeled through Jack Rack for a little (TOO MUCH!?) reverb using jack, which I finally got working. YouTube messed up the synching a bit, but I was happy they could handle ogg at all.

Update @ Dec 5, 2008:

/shuffles back on stage.

Today another example application was made (a drum computer) that was added together with this piano to the new mingus_examples directory in the repository.
