Unify - The Piano Piece With 15 Million Notes! | Pianist Reacts

In this video I react to the piece by HDSQ called Unify, this is a black midi piece where the concept is a compilation of black midi pieces brought together by a number of different black midi writers.

i love seeing people doing technical analysis on black midi. good stuff bro!

[@Lynes66]

Gingy You? Hello

[@29FroilanJR]

@@Lynes66 yeah, he's Gingy

[@ninadang2088]

I don’t know what black midi is.

[@29FroilanJR]

@@ninadang2088 Black MIDI is a MIDI with a bunch of Notes.
Some people call it Black MIDI or Black Scores if the notes in Musical Sheets are completely/almost Black

[@HDSQ]

It's really cool seeing a musical analysis of this - It's great knowing that all the attention to detail the community put into this piece was recognised! Thanks so much for featuring the work that I and everyone in the black MIDI community did on this piece!!! Here are a few answers/comments to your questions:
* A little note on the song titles in the bottom left, they actually represent the people who worked on that section, not the people who originally composed it (although some sections such as the intro and finale are original).
* As for how we go about writing it, we don't usually use traditional sheet music (since it gets too cluttered). Most people use FL Studio or other similar software, and then take advantage of features like patterns to build up the artwork.
* The piece took a few years to put together with everyone else in the community - it was a massive project and probably not something I'll do again, but it was really worth it!
Thanks again for featuring our work!

[@1pre1]

Glad to see you made a video on this midi, always looking forward to see your reaction to different black midi pieces

[@matticawood]

Thank you! I’m glad you liked this one 😊

[@ninadang2088]

Matt what’s black midi?

[@ninadang2088]

And midi.

[@Nano12123]

That's a lot of touhou music. I recommend listening to it in your spare time, it's actually kind of cool from a musically analytical standpoint

[@seanminor4728]

Now could you imagine this on Mark Robers talking piano🤯

[@dumi8550]

I found your channel a few weeks ago and I'm really hooked. Please don't stop reacting to black midi pieces

[@quackers3198]

I’ve been waiting for you to make this video for such a long time!!!

[@caoshengzi]

If you're confused with HDSQ, it is contraction for hemidemisemiquaver and that is the logo on his channel 😊

[@not_estains]

one video and i already love this guy

[@Spherey]

normally black midi writers (aka blackers) either use fl studio or domino
personally, i use fl studio, and many of my friends also use fl studio (in my opinion i find it easier to use as the controls are intuitive and easy to remember compared to domino)
domino has much faster performance, which is why others may prefer using it
fl studio is laggy in terms of performance when it comes to producing note art
normally when you're creating the melody and note percussion, fl studio performs well, however if you're trying to make note art, fl studio begins to lag and even freeze occasionally, which is why those who use fl studio often have to use optimization methods such as "gluing" the notes together (using an option to combine consecutive notes into one) and then "chopping" the notes later when rendering the midi
the majority, almost all, black midi creators/blackers manually place in the notes (and copy paste the notes if they need to) and very few play them on the piano, though there are some who play them on the piano, such as sheet music boss

[@milestailsprower4555]

I also use FL Studio, but sometimes I use Domino and MuseScore.

[@TheDomeHepot010]

Thank you! 😊

[@thepixelatedcactus7152]

I love music analysis and Unify this is the perfect video for me

[@seth6525]

Eddywaltz's video is better imo, the audio is better

[@homeleonardi2963]

how to make a black midi first the melody go to midi editor and place notes down on your midi editor go around the midi editor find the notes of the melody
and the arts draw notes and make any art and then copy and paste it a bounche of times and make diferent arts through out your black midi and when your done your black midi is done

[@homeleonardi2963]

am i right

[@dbmedly]
