      I want to make these videos for my son with the green and blue bars coming down and despite my fair to good use of Google I cannot locate the software. Here are 2 examples:

      I did find this useful – it shows Midiculous which I’d like to try too for a different approach. But the green/blue thing is where I want to start. Any help is much appreciated!

      But that’s like the opposite – this makes you play a game but what I want is the bars to be reactive to what he plays? There is no way this guy is playing a game:

      He has like a 1000 videos up and they’re all him playing?

      I’m wondering if people are feeding their own mp3 or midi files into the game? I’m gonna tinker and see if I can nail it.

      OK so I will take the keyboard and attach it to the PC, use something like MIDIculous, capture the playing live as a MIDI file and then let the synthesia game software (or a freeware clone) play that MIDI file and capture that on the screen using the hd60s. Then output that as an MP4 and done haha 😜

      Now the question is what is the easiest way to capture a MIDI file

      I started a support topic here on the piano manufacturer (Alesis) support forum

      You are losing me in translation somewhere….

      1.  Hook keyboard to pc using midi to usb convertor or usb to usb depending upon your keyboard, you may or may not have to install asio4all

      http://www.asio4all.org

      2.  Install synthesia

      3. Find a midi file, or create one

      4.  Run the midi file with synthsia (it will give the graphics on screen, no audio)

      5.  You play your keyboard to match the graphics & this plays the music, the midi converter is what tells the pc what keys you are pressing on the keyboard

      6. If you want to capture the performance with your HD60, you can do it before step 4

      Midiculous is just another software package geared more towards official piano tutoring, where synthesia can still be used as a typing tutor but is isn’t as good.  Some kids may respond better to a game environment at first.

      I got this from support on that thread – so with all of your info and the info below I will whip up some cool videos of my sons playing

      Hi Michael,

      Thanks for posting.

      Yes, you can connect your Recital to your computer and record its playback. To do this, you will need to connect a USB A to B cable (commonly referred to as a printer cable). You can use a software, such as Ableton, to record your music. You can download a trial version of Ableton Live at this link. I’ve also included some helpful guides below that will walk you through getting started in Ableton:

      yeah, if you are doing a capture for recital, you can do midiculous with your hd60’s as long as you are connected with your usb cord from keyboard to pc
