You're right. It's funny listening to this. They're playing the same song, but it's not even close to as good as the Daft version. The daft version is loud and has a bite. This version just sounds lethargic and boring.
The original seems to have been made by creating a feedback loop between one of the outputs and the filter input of an analog synthesizer. The examples I've seen were done on a Yamaha CS-15 but a lot of monophonic old analogs allow you to do that, like a MiniMoog. However the filters on a CS-15 are quite unique, don't think you can even do this exact patch on an MS-20. https://youtu.be/W4PEAKNtbVw?t=184 A good explan…

> Midi step sequences would have a hard time representing the "emotion" some composers are looking for. They all allow different amounts of precision and interpretation of the performance. Staff notation is open to interpretation on the performance level. MIDI is an exact recording (or programming) of a performance. With staff notation you can mark eighth notes and say "staccato, lag behind the beat", and there's an…
I don't think that's quite right. Different midi sequencers will play in a different way, based on the decisions of the midi sequencers author.
MIDI is a pretty exact specification. If a sequencer is changing the timing of anything, the underlying MIDI structures are not the same then. You can have different amounts of swing or different PPQ values, but then I wouldn't consider that "the same MIDI".
You can feed it to different sound generators of course, different drum machines, synths, a laptop, what-have-you, (most sequencers have both builtin together) but that's different from the MIDI itself.
Is there any synthesizer that would sound like a real violin?

Tablature is another common notation system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablature
For those that don't want to learn how to read proper notation, usually.
> The key is F major. Where is this coming from? It's pretty clearly G minor to me. The bass is playing G. The main phrase starts and ends on a G. > This 1.334 is a ratio of adding 5 semitones in hertz. This should sound like this. This harmonic overtone kills it for me. I know there are some overtones in the original, but not like this. 5 semi-tones is an interval of a perfect fourth. I think maybe a perfect fifth w…
Hi, post author here. Thanks for pointing out! I know it's wrong and working on these improvements: https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/4dl454/recreating_...
Well that's opened up a fascinating new world to me. Is there a name for that regular logarithmic by linear music notation in the first image? I suddenly feel like a whole lifetime of musical enjoyment has been denied to me by the utterly utterly ridiculous staff notation system.
You might also enjoy Hookpad ( https://www.hooktheory.com/hookpad/new ) and Theorytab ( https://www.hooktheory.com/theorytab/view/daft-punk/get-luck... ) for examples. Hooktheory taught me a lot.

Feedback loop normally called overdrive. Broke my Voyager improperly using the headphone output for that, haha. I've only ever heard of the MS20 being the source for the lead in the track though. Random Youtube demos seem to get it close enough.
I don't think it's the MS-20 as it does come close but the MS-20 is slightly more nasal. Lots of moments I play with it and I think "this sounds ALMOST like The Funk" because with a big resonance on two filters it distorts pretty bad/good :). But perhaps if I try it with the same feedback technique it might get fuller.
