Drawing a Synthesizer in MIDI - Live!

I've been really enjoying making live MIDI art, so I thought it would be cool to try and draw one of my favorite things in the world - a synth! 😀

I tried to make it look 3D, and the biggest challenge was drawing the black keys - I had to get the timing of those notes just right, play them faster and faster and then reverse their direction. Hope you like the results!

The controller is Roli LUMI, the sound is my Sequential Prophet X layered with Steinberg Retrologue. My DAW is Cubase 10.

I feel like im listening to an opening audio to an 80's film production company.

[Ursadar]

It's crazy how something like this sounds so good!

[casualbiscuit]

Tripy and sci-fi, just like the word “synthesizer” makes me think of

[somethingsimple]

This sounds like something from the Minecraft soundtrack and it’s amazing

[rwe]

“Oh, you’re an artist? Visual or music?”

“… *yes* “

[joakobm]

It’s crazy how this vibe nails exactly how a synthesiser feels like

[Moostache_]

Sounds like a computer start up sound from the late 90s to early 2000s

[oscarguzman]

I like how the notes got more/less staggered over time because of the perspective. That's some crazy accuracy. 😂

[PianoVampire]

I'm crying at how incredible this is

[ozthewizard]

This is hipnotizing. Please make a longer version with this tune.

[FL_Music_Maker]

It sounds like a 90's console startup

[CDBelfer]

The fact that you added perspective to this is insane, you can actually hear the left hand slowly change to reverse the order

[uncleslam]

This makes me think of a start up jingle for some late 90's software.

[redcollard]

NGL I have not been this impressed in a long time. The drawing is really cute and the soundscape works beautifully, great harmonic work

[pistl]

This gives me a huge nostalgic feeling and I have no idea from where but I LOVE it

[austinmoe]

The crazy amount of control on the left hand is impressive!

[MaisieSqueak]

I love how he managed to make it sound like a 70s computer commercial

[atakiri]

I'm both flabbergasted at how this is possible and how genuinely beautiful it sounds

[p_stains]

The whole time i was like “That’s a long laptop”

[Spyrobeamer]

If someone said this was a new Minecraft C418 song I would believe them.
