Technician Posted June 9, 2011 It's hard to do anything practical with this gimmick. Anyone achieve anything creative with this? 0 Share this post Link to post
Planky Posted June 10, 2011 Not that I found when I went looking yesterday. Most are clips on youtube that don't sound anything like what they are trying to play.

GreyGhost Posted June 10, 2011 I heard my mother was playing with it yesterday, sounded vaguely like the opening bars of "Duelling Banjos". 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted June 10, 2011 One of the main faults with this gimmick is you only have to move over a string for it to play. This makes it very difficult to jump from one string to the other without plucking undesired strings. If you could click on a string to pluck it, maybe you could easily play a melody. 0 Share this post Link to post

If you click the box in the bottom right side, it will let you use the keyboard to play notes. 0 Share this post Link to post

BTW, Just in case that you need "guitar lessons" for the Google Les Paul Guitar Doodle -> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/09/how-to-play-guitar-on-google_n_873895.html . Anyhow, anyone who knows me knows that I just can't help but slapping together/cobbling together a SoundFont every chance that I get <grin>: http://www.cmoo.com/snor/weeds/SoundFonts/Google_Doodle_Les_Paul_Electric_Guitar.txt http://www.cmoo.com/snor/weeds/SoundFonts/Google_Doodle_Les_Paul_Electric_Guitar.zip P.S. In actuality, even though there are 10 strings on the Google Doodle GUI, there are actually *12* guitar samples contained in the Shockwave Flash SWF file. There is *NO* way to play those extra two strings in the Doodle, as the keyboard controls are any of the following: 1234567890 QWERTYUIOP ASDFGHJKL; ZXCVBNM,./ My SoundFont includes those additional two "secret" samples that the Doodle doesn't even use :) 0 Share this post Link to post

rfnagel Posted June 11, 2011 Hehe, a bit better than my previous one <grin>: The Google "Doodle" Les Paul Electric Guitar - Original Untitled Cover... an original composition, with added Sound Blaster Live! Environmental Audio Effects (EAX) Reverb and Chorus. Any Les Paul electric guitar is absolutely *BEGGING* for Fender tube-amp spring reverb (as well as chorus) effects! :) YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2kGJUZARNM Original recorded Google "Doodle" Les Paul electric guitar tune: http://goo.gl/doodle/19HrU Note that the latency is really bad/high when using your computer keyboard with Google's "Doodle" applet [ugh]. 0 Share this post Link to post
rfnagel Posted June 12, 2011 Hmmm... so does anyone have any idea the gobbledygook that makes the Doodle actually play back recorded things <grin>? After recording, you'll be provided with a shortened URL, that if you surf to will be lengthened -> http://goo.gl/doodle/19HrU . ...which looks like (carriage returns added so's that it fits in this message a little better): http://www.google.com/logos/2011/lespaul.html#tune= mIBMRLkCXIFApQFQgOlAdLkCnIBIDqOCmAg4KYCHIEuQCQHKgOF AdJAmIEOQCQHEpgkgKGCEB0oDicgSxAkhDkAXIBOQKQHEpglTBJ IUBkIDicgS5AlyBLkASRIDIUwCpglAdKAogUOQBcgS5AFyBKIwi AsEIcIC4QpwhKAwjEOAMCQgOJAcKA6kBwoDiQHU That's the actual saved Google Doodle recording of my YouTube creation <grin>.

Then I set the MIDI output port for CWP301 to "Out to MIDI Yoke: 1", and the MIDI input port for Bome’s Midi Translator to "In from MIDI Yoke: 1". Started MIDI playback in CWP301, alt+tabbed to my web browser, and then let 'er rip. Here was the result (I didn't spend much time editing the original MIDI, so it's not all that great, but is simply a "proof of concept" example) -> http://goo.gl/WhnNh :) Using the same method you can play the Google Doodle with your MIDI keyboard as well (although the latency is still high). ...yes, I have WAY to much time on my hands LOL! 0 Share this post Link to post
