Skipping over project 2, because it was just my other video "AFOfgaCEbek" with me saying "one, two, three, four" over it multiple times, I move on to my third project.
In my third project, I used the Animusic 2 audio CD, which can be purchased at Animusic.com, and my Yamaha PSR-530 keyboard that you should know well by now. The Animusic 2 CD has three bonus tracks on it at the end. One is "Heavy Light - Drum/Bass Submix". The other two are Drum/Bass and Synth/Ambient submixes of "Fiber Bundles" (tracks 10 and 11). I took these two separate submixes and mixed them back together so they would sound just like track 6 (which is Fiber Bundles, of course).
On top of that (or, visually, underneath), I placed a few of my own MIDI tracks, where I play along with the parts of "Fiber Bundles" that I know how to play on the piano. This is mostly the bass part, represented in the video by what I'd like to think is "radioactive grape juice". Because I had to keep my project under or at three minutes (this just barely pokes past that), I couldn't include all of "Fiber Bundles". The whole song runs at 5:14. (The bass/drum submix is 4:25 and the Synth/Ambient submix is 5:04, due to certain parts of the full song not containing one or the other, as you can see in this video.)
The bridge section of the song has the easiest part to play on the piano, and that's why all those instruments join in there. Some are Korg Triton MIDI tracks, and others are MBox 2 VSTi Instrument tracks.
After all of this, I come in with the "Multi Pad" sounds of my Yamaha PSR-530. There are four buttons on the Multi Pad, each labeled "1", "2", "3", and "4". There are 32 different patches you can run through, and each patch has four musical segments. The melodic ones can be matched to any chord with the "auto-accompaniment" keys in the left hand on the far left side of the keyboard. The tempo of the samples can be altered with the "Tempo" buttons on the face of the keyboard. I recorded these samples individually at home, brought the .WAVs to school on my flash drive, and mixed them into Cubase in class.
One last note: "Fiber Bundles" was written by Wayne Lytle in 2005 for the "Animusic 2" DVD (and CD). Go watch the video here on YouTube right now, and please consider buying the DVD(s)! They're great!
Can I get a MIDI... I'm wanting to stick this in Synthesia...

@videouser654: If you want a MIDI of "Fiber Bundles", don't look here. This is incomplete and just based on what I heard. I may have a MIDI somewhere, though. No promises.

dude thats awesome, think you could do a video on how to play it on piano, or have you already thought of doing it/done it?

@darkdragon225: I don't have an easy way of doing piano tutorials at this time. The only parts I know how to play on piano are the parts I entered in the MIDI data for, as you can see in this video.
YouTube user @xq010 has created MIDI files of many of the Animusic songs, as well as played them on his piano (with distorted audio), even the drum songs! But Fiber Bundles is one of the few songs he hasn't done, oddly.
