portal - still alive on player piano

[MsMormoopidae]

My grandparents have an original player piano (with bellows and all that, not your terrific solenoids). This video makes me want to make a roll for their piano.

[StevenTibbetts]

theres a ghost playing the piano



[98jdm]

beutiful

[Trolololollo]

fucking ninjas

[SuperGachet]

It's a Ninja!

[shadow524951]

Wow, I didn't think these were real. Creepy, but cool at the same time. But mostly creepy.

[sagan1hill]

@shadow524951 These player pianos were entertainment back in the 1880's through the early 1900's. There was a whole industry around these things. I will agree--very creepy. :)

[HikaritheFox]

I would be SCARED if I was in somebody's house at night and the piano started playing Still Alive. (Think about it.)

[Zarthga]

@HikaritheFox it would be creepier if it were "Want You Gone"

[HikaritheFox]

@Zarthga And then Mr. Face shows up!!!

[NoShittyMusicAllowed]

@Zarthga not even in the same rank as still alive

[Zarthga]

@NoShittyMusicAllowed l like want you gone better. but the joke is, if a ghost plays "want you gone"... well the ghost wants you gone.

[Keleigh3000]

I heartily endorse this use of player pianos.

[Minimanx55]

0:42 FAIL.

[jopomeister]

HOLY SHIT.

So, I clicked this video, and let it play while I was on another tab. Halfway through, I click back to this tab. Bloody magic piano O_O

[Listradogamer]

A GHOST ON PIANO? O_O

[geertzand]

I want my piano to do this. is it possible to build it in, or is it really expencive?

[FLIPP3DnTRIPP3D]

*Looks inside the piano*

*See's a potato*

[atroposBE]

[luo22]

OMG GlaDOS's Ghost Is  Playing The Piano! D:

[LulzPwndxD]

From where did you get harry potter's cloak ?

[CODgamplaycentral]

@yomipanda21 dod you have a panio if not i'll explain. Ithink (so dont quote me on this ) but when you go to retune a panio there is a door in the front and the top he might have played it through the top or like @jg6364 said (this is all just a theroy tho).

[yomipanda21]

i dont get it! how u do it!

[crazychris960]

Did you manually punch out the piano roll or did you have a machine to make it?

[jg6364]

@crazychris960 this was a midi file that is played through a laptop computer to the solenoids under the keybed. It wasn't the right file to actually play on the piano that is why it misses a few of the notes

[mario64ds99]

haha! i can see glados laughing at you as you run away

[emporer15]

With pianos like these, who needs cake?

[caseCLOSEDisBEST]

9 people never got cake...

[11mrdax]

JIzz man I'm trying to spin my darn pen while watching this and I'm like darn it!

[starjas9]

[gamemaster4789]

WTF how did he do that

[Clod15]

@gamemaster4789 some pianos have a Recording thing that plays by itself. which is pretty cool

[airplanemaster1]

I think they uploaded GLaDOS into this piano. thats why it was able to play this song.

[msmariofan223]

If only I could actually do this....

[RemcoM013]

its a shame the piano kinda messed up on the double notes

overall its AWESOME

[1280Will]

everyone loves portal so much that they learn the song P.S to all fans like me! portal 3 is coming out at 2015

[zezimakiller44]

[Csp499]

The ghost haunting the piano must have access to Steam...

[fu11fu]

This is what happens when you let glados have a piano.

[CWINDOWSsystem32]

@fu11fu

also, she will rig a system to the piano to emit a deadly neurotoxin every time someone plays a note.

[psydney1997]

IT'S MR. FACE!

[GamingPugetSound]

Oh that's just a Official Aperture science Personal insterrment and neurochip Organizer. Or PIANO.

[jocasparrow]

[321cookiemonsterz]

[emporer15]

@321cookiemonsterz Air pumps and special tubes

[krauserkiller365]

WITCHCRAFT!

[emporer15]

@krauserkiller365 cakecraft.

[LoadedWingshot]

some notes are kind of held rather than just repeative pressing when needed

[Minakess]

@LoadedWingshot Note that the piano is probably really old

[shadowtamer13]

eerie, there's a ghost in the machine. lols

[NamelessRedshirt12]

The pianist is a lie...

[Bustias1]

Its a old piano that you apparently put a music file inside and it plays it on its own

[donttalkcrap]

@Bustias1

Yeah? ... and your point is???

Talk about wasting bandwidth by stating the obvious :-/

[Bustias1]

@donttalkcrap Because maybe some dumbasses didnt know and wanted to know.

[alber660]

GHOST PLAYING PIANO XD

[HackedNewbTV]

GHOST!!! lol jk everyone Knows GLaDOS is playing

[freakyweirdo101]

So this is where GLaDOS ended up...

[Lethargus93]

Creepy, but sounds good :D

[mouse264]

ZOMBIE GOASTS LEAVE THIS PIANO!!

[xtcsydney]

um...the piano is a lie?

[sk081]

That piano must be so fun for pranks on ppl xD

[taksa123456]

how did you do this?

[ColdRiceBall]

It's the ghost of GLaDOS coming back to get you....

SHE IS STILL ALIVE! :O

[d3jsp]

AHH!? the spirit who haunts the piano likes PORTAL!?

[TheSpacemonkey420]

Dude is this a haunted piano?!?

[Drumermaniac2x]

@madmanmapper In the event the piano player talks, the enrichment center would like to inform you that the piano player will never threaten to stab you, and in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the piano player does speak, and we take this opportunity to remind you that it cannot, the enrichment center would like to tell you to disregard it music.

[Megarawrrrr]

wtfff... wheres the person

[graidstin]

Its a player piano it doesnt need a person, just a piano roll

[AndrewFaulds]

It's a "Player Piano" duh. A Player Piano is controlled by a computer.

[NitroGadvRules]

@AndrewFaulds actually its control mechanically which imo makes its more impressive. Old fashion mechanical things like this are cool how they work.

[cameronbennetts]

@Megarawrrrr it's a kind of piano where you put a music roll in it, and it plays it.

[Canorsherd]

GLaDos got a new job as a piano COOL!!!!!

[zigsah]

nice now all i need is a LONG tutoreal =O

[MSBSpectator]

@madmanmapper You deserve cake for this comment.

[BadBoyLuis34]

O MY GOD i think we should RUN

[xXxXChermoonsunxXxX]

O.O youre invisible. ME RUN! Kyo!

~ Rina

[Titanomacky]

The ghost of GLaDOS has come back to put smiles on our faces!

[Shvabranigdo]

чудеса...

[teqrevisited]

Looks like GLaDOS is backwards compatible. RUN!

[jennaofthecuckooclan]

Should have had octaves in the bass.

[fugiman56]

I'm sorry but wouldn't it be better if you were playing it yourself, instead of letting the piano do all the work?

[drone713]

do you not understand the point of a player piano?

[fugiman56]

Yes, I do. However, if one thinks this is professional, then they are mistaken.

[chiter200]

lol Glados piano.

[jasleil]

what of piani is that?

[guci22]

It may just be me but does it seem a little fast to anyone else? Otherwise it is pretty amazing

[spartandud3]

omg the cake can play a piano now?

[david1991rules4life]

omg that was just dumb -_-"

[nkycarbon]

@spartandud3 AND WITH ITS MIND!!!? HOLY JESUS MUSTARD!!!!!

[EmileneR94]

Oh. Well then I would like one of those pianos. ^-^

[filipino918]

im used to seeing pianos by itself XD

[EmileneR94]

That's creepy. I'd love to learn how to do

that to scare some of my family. haha

[TehMG]

There's nothing tricky about it. That's not just any piano, it's a player piano, it's meant to do that.

Usually the music is loaded into the player piano in the form of a roll of paper which has holes punched in it which correspond with the notes the piano is supposed to play.

[freakaknight]

nevertheless still a pretty amazing piece of technology :P

[blahblahgdp]

OMG GHOST!!!!

[pokoron1700]

lol the ghost is the piano... what if it starts playing when ur sleepin? scaryy...+

[emporer15]

@blahblahgdp It is a cake ghost.

[victrolarepair]

How did you make a roll for the player piano?

[echeesekid]

no roll, electronic

[SmasherGLL]

nice

[jg6364]

It is a midi file and not the greatest one either, but it was the only one I could find and convert to play with the player piano at the time.

[genecleaner]

but how did you get the midi signal transferred to the mechanics???

[IAMSPLITTONGUE]

how old is yours? mine is like 100 and 3 or somthing

[jg6364]

This piano is 87 years old

[cokefan3]

@IAMSPLITTONGUE 110 years >:D

[IAMSPLITTONGUE]

@cokefan3  wow .

[MidnightBlackSky]

@IAMSPLITTONGUE MINE TOO! Except your's is 104 now I guess.

[IAMSPLITTONGUE]

@MidnightBlackSky

still works great i was fucking around with it today
