How To Play: Final Fantasy 3 - The Dark Crystals

A quick video I decided to make as a demo to a series i want to try titled "Play it on the Nanokey", Where i'll pick apart video game music and show how to play it on the Korg NanoKey MIDI Controller.

...Sorry for flipping you off so much.

Great tones! What instrument are you trigger for those 8 Bit sounds?

[mogstah]

@NightfurMusic Which ones? theres the background, which is just an NSF file played through Winamp, the synth im playing is a raw square wave with chorus on it.

So that weird device is a "nanokey"? What exactly is its purpose?

[mogstah]

@DGneoseeker1 Don't know if troll?!

[DGneoseeker1]

@mogstah No trolling here. I'm wondering how such a small keyboard is of practical use. I couldn't play anything on it that I'd want to, because I'd need about three more octaves and space for two hands on the keyboard itself.

So what purposes is it good for? And what is the little keyboard for that you had your left hand on?

[mogstah]

@DGneoseeker1 it has some practical use, mostly for monophonic synth emulation since a lot of the old keyboards only had 3-4 octaves - this however, is only 2. You can also use it as a triggering mechanism, and in certain applications, it makes a great DJ slicing controller / alternative to a drum pad.

The space itself is rather small, and you tend to fat-finger a lot of notes at first. The build quality is a little poor, and i've actually broken this one and converted it to a 'stomp' midi box

you flipped me off

[mogstah]

@sirvaan Sure- that's a pretty cool song. I'll work on it and get back to you.

[sirvaan]

ok how about you're not alone from FFIX?

[mogstah]

@sirvaan Make a suggestion and i'll consider it.
