Just out of curiosity, how many overdubs did you make and how much did you speed it up?

I'd also suggest using a "normalize" feature at the end, as each overdub tends to increase the volume by approximately 3db. When you are done in the end normalize it at about -1db so there won't be too much of digital distortions.

The instrumentation is quite questionable, but that is already your own musical choice.

This is MIDI, and I don't believe that it's improvised, nor that you even played it.

It's a midi to WMA conversion, then rerecorded into MP3, as denoted by 100% legato without the apparent use of full pedal.

This is sped up.

I have never ever heard someone play that fast, and still so clear and accurate.

If it isn't sped up, you can concider my sceptism as the greatest of compliments, because then your skill would prove to be truely.. supernatural.

Do you mean that they press the "Demo" button and that after a time, it gets old for you, as entertaining as it is for them to "finger sync?"  ;)

your right, it is played on 5 pianos but recenty my friend looked into it and said it was more then 5. Each beat played out a part and then a program was used to sync them up to make it all sound like one beat in the same BPM. Its an old trick but it still works great :P..i juss put it up to see how many ppl would be smart enf to point it out. so far ur the first lol :D.
