Want You Gone

Written by Jonathan Coulton for Portal 2.
-----
This is my "live" performance version using ancient cheap-synth hardware. In order of appearance:
* Casio VL-1 synth/calculator (circa 1981)
* Yamaha RX15 drum machine (1985)
* Casio SK-1 sampler (1987)
* Casiotone MT-240 (1988)
* Yamaha QY10 music sequencer (1990)

Vocal processing:
* Shure SM-57 microphone
* iMac i7 computer running AU Lab and Antares Auto-Tune EVO (demo!) in real time.

Recording:
* Audio: (White) MacBook running Audacity
* Video: Flip Ultra HD

This recording is more "mono" than I originally anticipated. I was racing dying channels. One of the RX15's channels died. Then one of the Casio VL-1's channels disappeared. The MT-240 would act up occasionally as well.

The only MIDI used was to synchronize the clocks of the RX15 and the QY10 (who otherwise had very different concepts of tempo). No MIDI note data was used. Each device was programmed through its own front panel (which is a pain on the QY10).
