Playing my computer (with a link to a tutorial)

This video is not about me playing on my computer, it is about YOU playing on YOUR computer. I wrote more about it on my blog:

In case you don't want too leave Youtube, here are some infos:

- I wrote the program myself, it is extremely lightweight (the code is in the link).

- You can attribute any sound you want to any key you want . Here I only sampled one sound from my bowl and changed the pitch with a program to obtain all the notes. I am using a keyboard configuration that is ergonomic (it keeps the notes near from one another), but  really feels different from a piano (in the outro song the keyboard configuration is piano-like).

- You can cover almost 4 octaves (more if you really want touse your whole keyboard), that's enough to play a lot of things. You can play as many notes in the same time as your keyboard will accept.

That should make your keyboard a valuable music instrument... or at least a hardcore version of Guitar Hero :)
