Keyboardmania - The Least 100sec DOUBLE REAL autoplay

[GmanX50]

For a while there, I thought the people below were talking about Reflec Beat.

I might use this as reference and try to learn the thing on keyboard.

[francisdcool]

@RIVEXNGLE The least 100 sec is never ever going to be on RB. RB cant handle the notes of the least 100. Not ever.

[RIVEXNGLE]

I want this song for Rock Band 3 Rock Band Network 2.0 DLC.

Someone get on RBA and chart this song when Rock Band 3 is released.

It'll scare the hell out of everyone!

[DarkDuei]

This song sounds like a game show for some reason..

[akpokemon]

At first I thought it was a duet ('cause the keyboard was separated into 2 pieces--sorry I don't play the game, haven't before) and I'm like, "man. The person on the left side's got it easy!" Ha ha. I can not BELIEVE that this is for one person. That's disgusting.

[vectron12]

are you a human being?

[Xythar]

@vectron12 I am, yes. The 'player' in the video is not, because it's on autoplay.

[vectron12]

@Xythar ohhhh ok

[tanteishoryu]

Does this only work with a UX16 cable or does any usb midi cable work?

[Xythar]

I don't know, I'm not playing via MIDI. I'm playing the PS2 version using the Konami keyboard controller for it, which is a USB device.

[hiroshiscorer]

Well, I would say someone had to play it at Konami... A standard pianist is capable of playing this song.

[DjFr3QaZ0iD]

all those years playing DDR and I could've been playing this to actually be good at something...It feels like such a waste...

[XCallingX]

@DjFr3QaZ0iD Ah but DDR daily puts you also into good physical shape =]

[beanzallmighty]

this song is pretty insane on pop'n the bpm is like 263-200 and i have only played the 35 and its all stream and i got a full combo on it. but i to afraid to try the ex cause i can pass 40's but i think it will kill me.

[Xythar]

It doesn't *have* an EX. Regrettably enough.

[beanzallmighty]

ya i know i just figured that out when i went and played at our local arcade today but now i want that to have a [EX]

[idaho777]

lol you could just put the sheet music there and play it and it still works :D

[xiocx1]

awesome even thoguth you didt play awesome***

[marlotiquia]

if the keyboard mania has a multi seasonal what could be ^^

[Shyguy203]

This makes me want to play it in stepmania.

Lol, marvillis.

[pabloww]

Hey im trying to play this with an M-Audio Oxygen 61 keyboard, but it doesnt seem to recognize the keys. What should I do?????

[ge3EphEn]

Does anyone know where you can get Keyboardmania Yamaha Edition? You can't buy it anymore and I can't even find it anywhere online to download it. :*(

[luigiluigix2]

If you know this on piano, you can do this with your eyes closed.

[xiocx1]

dang awesome!!

[GhaleonNow]

That's badass. KB looks awesome, I wish I woulda started playing instead of IIDX, which I quit after not too long

[PlasmaFire3000]

Yeah. This game actually teaches people how to play piano well (save for sight-reading sheet music and velocity control), but it's a shame Bemani never kept up with the series...

[ghostfire1234]

theres hardly even any keyboardmania players anymore. everyone switched to beatmania.

[NicolXIX]

really?? why would they have switched?

I'm thinking about switching from beatmania to keyboardmania.

[ghostfire1234]

1.keyboardmania wasnt that appealing to the konami franchise fans.

2.if ever songs were to be made in the level of songs such as scorpion fire and such songs, itll be inhumanly possible.

3.the learning curve is more agonizing, people would prefer the notes on a note chart that is read rather than seeing going down in many keys.

4.keyboardmania is still around in japan but its not very well given attention to most players.

[NicolXIX]

Well, considering the high level of many IIDX players, you'd think they'd like to try KM for a while because then you can play your favorite songs on a real piano! and not just plastic keys in an arcade :) If you're mid to high tier in IIDX the learning curve in KM is pretty easy no?

I just tried running DoReMi and it doesn't work, I read somewhere it's not compatible with XP! is this true? :(

[ghostfire1234]

no, if doubles in bm was kinda of hard then consider playing this. the feeling of playing keyboardmania will feel like 4 bm controllers.

also reading the notes is the biggest difficulty factor of the game.

as for doremi? i never heard of it. sorry i cant help you with that.

[NicolXIX]

I can understand that reading these notes would be v.difficult for a piano player but for us that play IIDX and can't read sheet music this is highly preferable IMHO, my primary goal is to learn quasar on a real synthesizer.

[NicolXIX]

by the way DoReMi is the freeware PC version of KM, I can see you're playing the PS2 version.

There is also KeyboardMania Yamaha Edition (KMYE) which can play any midi file you throw at it and supports key-lighting on several yamaha pianos, it's also quite graphically enhanced and supports hidden/sudden etc.

It was however discontinued and is very hard to find now which is crazy because it's the best version of the 4! (Arcade, PS2, Doremi, KMYE)

[Marisueksu]

I have Keyboardmania Yamaha Edition.

Also, I've tried DoReMimania before. While it has the ability to play beyond 3 octaves, it most certainly looks ugly, not to mention a bit hard to set up for complete beginners.

[HappySkyOMG]

This actually devolops fingering skills, a fun way tp practice piano techniques i bet.

[HappySkyOMG]

Is it actually like the same way a keyboard works, unlike Guitar Hero?

[firstavemaniac]

Yeah, it is.

[flooringrx]

I FC'ed that song once without autplay

[Hajiroku]

I got about half way through this once and then my hands died. Then again I also play it with the same hand formation I do with IIDX......im sure if i played it as a real keyboard it wouldnt hurt as much but still hurt like hell.

[tomkoolman]

this is autoplay stupid

[NicolXIX]

If you thought this was impressive just serach for "Bemani Top Ranker DVD" and check out the IIDX pros.

[ErlendYo91]

where can you get this game?

[elnegro987]

I want this game.

but I'm guessing it's only in Japan though, right?

[pieceofnoob]

NO it isn't. u can download it on PC.

[elnegro987]

Would I play it with the computer keyboard, or do I have to buy a special controller?

[pieceofnoob]

In the computer only. No u dun need any controller. Sry though i checked. The keyboardmania there isnt gd as this one.

[khmer4everpeeps]

you can also buy it on the ps2

[Brutalisk]

HOLY SHIT DOOD....

[DancingTofu2]

I can play a bit of this on an actual piano. The keyboard mania version is very similar to the real versions, except that it has you playing basslines that you wouldn't be doing on the piano. It's by no means impossible; the version used for DDR is a live recording.

[vivianteng]

Dang......I knew I heard CSkb somewhere! Thx B4ULoveShine! <3

Flowers (when unplugged or something) would make a good addition too.

[limechannel]

they should also make a Piano Hero with a wide collection of billy joels song, holy shit that look hard!!!!!

[kkangandy07]

lol..Piano Hero! that sounds awesome

[sphinx200]

But where you can get a keyboard to play this on ps2 ?

[Xythar]

Konami makes Keyboardmania controllers. They're not too hard to find in Japan, although I'm not sure about online.

[sphinx200]

so here i will never find T___T

[CrazedSquirrel]

There was a PS2 controller up on Ebay a couple days ago. I don't know if it's still there though. Just keep an eye out!

[Robtcee]

That looks fairly hard.

You could do it with obsessive practice, though, am I right?

[PastaBall]

I love the version in thie KBm. It sounds so clean compared to the versions in the other games.

[PlasmaFire3000]

It does. The great thing about KBm is that you're playing a true instrument with the correct layout during the song (albeit, a synthesizer of sorts), unlike Guitar Freaks/Hero or IIDX.

[PastaBall]

Although DrumMania get's it pretty damn close too. XD

[PlasmaFire3000]

True. Unfortunately, nothing quite gets it correct other than playing a real piano, drumset, etc. Adding a velocity/volume score to each note in DM or KBM would be overkill, anyway.

[uberdork987]

this song is in ddr supernova... i need this game and Pop'n Music

[videoCWK]

I need to get this game

[chaos303]

We seriously need this song in IIDX.

[Sammy4549]

I'd love to see them throw THIS into IIDX like this, not like the beatmania final version.

[droors838]

ditto

[Koiyuki]

As it has been said, those who play the instrument this is based on, and play it well will do well in the game. Others will have difficulty. Perhaps they could use this to help interest people in the real deal?

[MilkChan]

I don't know...maybe DukAmok can do this? He's the only music game player I know off the top of my head that plays piano.

[Xythar]

Don't forget CRH, who's been playing classical piano for something like 12 years now.

[AviandMike]

great song

[Dreamcube017]

lol Yeah.

Well at least this game can teach you to use the correct fingering on a real piano.

I just ordered the game. I really hope my keyboard works with it.

[kmfb420]

heh its very easy on ddr 8th mix

[holy999]

AAAHHH... RIDICULOUS , at 1st i no this song was in DM/GF after that ddr , after that beatmania IIDX , wth even KBM? dis song famous . wait.. wana ask u a question . do KBM haf timepiece phase 2? if has it the same as 100 secs GAWD!

[Cfood]

Unfortunately, KBM 'died' on its 3rd Mix (which was able to session with GF5/DM4, and even GF6/DM5, I think, which was the height of Least 100's fame). Timepiece 2 for GF/DM came out long after KBM stopped production. I wish KBM would have a revival, it has so much potential, but the learning curve is definitely difficult. However, with harder IIDX's and PnM's out, it wouldn't be so bad.

[DancingTofu2]

If I were to learn the song, I could probably play that fairly easily.

Play some shit like Fur Elise (full version = 64th and 32nd notes); that's hard.

[Onipa]

This is why KBM needs to be revived with songs like Scorpion Fire.

[Xythar]

I bet someone's done it already for Doremimania. I have a piano concerto simfile or two on that already, I think one has like 3400 notes which is crazy but awesome.

[B4ULoveShine]

Can we add Kakumei (based from Chopin's Revolutionary Etude), Children's Sketchbook (based from Bach's Jesu, Man of Joy's Desiring), No. 13 (based from yet another Bach piece), Timepiece phase II, Akai Suzu, Boogie Train '03, while we're at it?
