    can anyone tell me how he plays the high note here at (roughly) 0:34? i dont know how this machine works but it looks like he played a low note and a high one came out

      the midi (keyboard) is probably programmed that for each 8 bars it switches an instrument automatically and creates a loop. When you hear the high note, it’s probably just the same instrument, but because the 8 bar loop is repeated, it switches to a higher octave and the loop continues
