"Theremin Hero" & Neural Interface - Gimme Shelter 100% FC

PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION:
For thoes of you who havn't seen my last video (The Portal Song)... I'd suggest watching it first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OybiXxxkQG8

If you dont know what a theremin is, wikipedia it!

I'm playing the vocal track to Gimme Shelter. Its supposedly one of the most difficult vocal tracks to get 100% in (according to the rockband forums), even though its only in the "Challenging" category.

Its important to note, I was purely going for the 100% score. I KNOW it doesnt sound good, so dont expect it to. In fact, I'm VERY out of tune in parts - especially at the start, and I expected to have failed this attempt. I blame the game for not being critical enough at expert level! Most of my other takes sounded better, but I normally got around 95%. Also, this song is not well suited to the theremin sound, but it had to be something challenging and this was the best of the bad choices available IMO.

The OCZ NIA (Neural Impulse Actuator) reads muscle tension in the facial muscles, which is how I was triggering it to make the loud ZAP sound. It also reads Alpha and Beta waves, as well as eye movements. I didnt need to use these for this video.

The reason for using the annoying ZAP sound was due to the nature of the sound needed to trigger overdrive and the cowbell parts. It needed to have a short sharp sound. I tried a few sound effects but this was the most reliable one. The sound plays through the same pair of headphones that were producing the theremin sound, and the speakers.

conquerearth, you just blew my mind and opened my eyes to some new musical possibilities. and that NIA is really sweet.

[conquerearth]

hogasm69.... your Fire Poi video is AWSOME :D

[Nubnut]

Can I request that you do Don't Fear the Reaper next? just for the sheer sake of the cowbell.

[conquerearth]

Thats ALOT of cowbell. Might give me a headache!

I like the suggestion though. Its a good song, and the singing isnt too fast. I'm working on another project at the moment (still theremin hero related) but i'll probably give it a try afterwards. Thanks!

[Rhythmicons]

THese are great!

Moog Lives!

Don't forget about the new Theremin Upgrade thatsends out Pitch and Voltages.

Is that a tuner on your Theremin?

[conquerearth]

Yea, ive been considering the control voltage mod. But there's a way to do the same thing in software, by analysing the frequency and converting it into a number, which can be used for pretty much anything!

Plus i'm hoping to get a hold of an Etherwave Pro which has control voltage by default.

The boxon top of the theremin is the NIA control box not a tuner. A tuner might be a good idea though!

[DarkJediJCer]

Wtf, you shot the cowbell and overdrive.

WITH MIND BULLETS!

[Fuelie79]

Man, you need to edit this and put lasers coming out of your eyes during the cowbell section!

This is so cool!

[eloyADAN]

[eloyADAN]

[MeuhMy1002]

0:11 No emotion face XD Like it !

[MrIcePho3nix]

Nevermind. I actually decided to take a break from the video and actually READ THE DESCRIPTION, where it tells me HOW THE NIA WORKS. Sorry! ^^;

[MrIcePho3nix]

Okay, I have to ask what it is you're thinking to get the NIA to register that you want to shoot mind bullets. Are you just going in your head," Aaaaannnd... COWBELL! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! Alright, back to the Theremin..."?

[AGuyAndAGun]

This could be the future of guitar hero you know

[GanonMetroid]

2:26 MIND BULLETS!

That's pretty awesome. That's actually incredibly awesome.
