  • [Piano Jam] Rebikov - Silhouettes op 31 no 4: Playing Soldiers
    No, I record a MIDI file on a USB drive. That means only the notes I play are stored but not the sound. Then on my PC I generate the piano sound from the MIDI file and assemble it with the video. So the sound is from the PC app (I use timidity++), not from the Roland. Source: about 2 years ago
