i will keep a copy just in case they get a C&D from harmonix


You know, I tried playing keyboard mania once when I was in LA. The fucked up thing is that the notes you play on the keyboard do NOT correspond 1:1 to the melody -- meaning pressing a "C" may actually produce an "A" -- which makes the game really hard if, you know, you actually play piano.

This game looks neat though.

Huh, interesting.


The intervalic ratios are right though Toups. They have to use transpositions of the lines because of how small the keyboard is.

I almost bought a Keyboardmania arcade once. I have the game at home and I love playing it


no, no. Believe me, the intervals were NOT right.

Maybe it was just because I was playing on easy but yeah. It was very plain to see that the right note was not coming out of the keyboard. I had a fellow pianist watching me (hi kinuko!) and she agreed!

yeah, and guitar freaks is messed up, too.

like, on my real telecaster, the big red button actually produces a Q chord.


Well if the keyboard mania controller was just a series of colored buttons that only vaguely resembled a keyboard (like, say, iidx or pop 'n' music) then I wouldn't complain!

Toups: the easier difficulties in Keyboardmania do that, yeah, but the harder ones (REAL mode, for example) are note-for-note accurate to a real keyboard.


I should've just played on hard then.
