    I've been wanting to make this video for a while and am so glad I finally had the time to do it! It addresses a lot of the FAQs I've been getting but, of course, I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have.
    If you don't already know, I've been streaming my solo attempts at playing Elden Ring with harp here: www.twitch.tv/lettuce4dayz. For the next few Mondays, I'll also be co-oping the game with CZR_drums so we can beat some ER enemies duet style (harp+drums). Watch our band practice at multitwitch.tv/czr_drums/lettuce4dayz.

    That's incredibly technical - and it is wonderful to see a person who is a musician and have a engineer mentality as well. Keep it up! :)

      Thank you! While setting up the hardware and the controls within Bome were up to me, I did watch another video by ThioJoeTech about turning a guitar into a controller that gave software recommendations.

    This has got to be the most expensive controller ever. 🤣

      No, beat it using a singular rock, bang it on the floor to get the pitch, the title can be, elden ring but I made it fucking impossible to play

    This thing takes dedication, determination and a minor loss of sanity. I would surely love to do something similar with my piano, the only thing I am missing is a pc and skill with wires. Exellent work!

    • @AnnaEllsworthMusic

      Thank you! Maybe there's a piano run in your future...I actually think there are a good number of benefits to doing this with piano rather than harp.

      Thank you! It's so interesting because everyone I've met who's tried playing games with an instrument controller has a slightly different setup and control scheme. I'm glad you appreciate the effort!

    Hey Anna, this is so awesome! We are actually developing a game that you can play with your real instrument called Intervallic and I'd love your input. We have the midi input system working and we're currently working on putting pitch detection in so that you can play without any cables.

  • @shanewbarrett

    Hi Anna, I think there’s a way to avoid adding the delay by ticking “emulate keystrokes slowly”. When I set up my e-drum kit as a controller I followed this tutorial ua-cam.com/video/EqOI9xvJrF0/v-deo.html and I didn’t get the same input lag that I got when I followed your tutorial. I hope this helps. And I love what you’re doing btw!

    • @AnnaEllsworthMusic
      @AnnaEllsworthMusic  2 роки тому

      Thank you! Hmm, interesting...you mean to leave Emulate Keystrokes Slowly unchecked? I do have it checked for most of the commands except for one; I think it was because my character wouldn't perform the action unless I checked them. But also, it's been a little while since I've set everything up (and after the initial setup, I wanted to leave Bome alone so it wouldn't get messed up), so I'm sure things could use some refining. I actually know CZR (person who made that tutorial), so maybe I'll ask him about it.
      In any case, thank you for the idea and that's super cool that you're trying something similar!

    Why don’t you just use a controller, then re-record with a harp. Then you don’t have to use the harp while playing the game, but you gain the fame.

    "walking requires the most translators" that's what I was thinking when I commented on the other vid. Thx for responding so fast you're awesome! When can we expect the speedrun? 🫡

    • @AnnaEllsworthMusic
      @AnnaEllsworthMusic  2 роки тому

      Yeah, it definitely took me the longest to find a good way to move around! For my very, very first time doing this (DS1 tutorial), I'm pretty sure I only gave myself the ability to walk forward. In any case, I might have to leave an actual speedrun to another harpist 😅 It's been difficult enough doing it at my own pace
