This was my 2nd time playing through this song. The DLC just came out today. I have a sight read on video, but I fail so you probably don't want to see it.This was Kr0oked's (aka iKr0ok) first playthrough. A sight read! You gotta check out the solo sections. Just watch Kr0oked's side (on the right), don't watch me. I'm a hack. Kr0oked is beast.You should check out iKr0ok's YouTube channel http://youtube.com/iKr0ok and subscribe. He does custom charts and he's good at it.He also beat me at Knights of Cydonia tonight. Well, he beat me on every song we played, actually. But KoC is my baby, yet I still got crushed.I plan on doing FtLoG again on single player (with my "ultimate" viewing angle) once I can 5-star it. Same goes for the other 2 songs from the Virtuoso Track Pack DLC. So, stay tuned! And thanks for watching.FAQ:----Q: How does it work?A: Everything is explained in detail here: http://egyokeo.com/midiheroQ: How do you do 3-note chords?A: All "two adjacent note" power chords are mapped to the top 4 pads, so with two sticks I can play any 3-note chord except GYO. But I can get that with one stick in left hand and two fingers on right hand.Q: How do you do whammy and star power?A: I use a bass drum pedal on my right foot to activate star power, and a hi-hat pedal on my left foot to control whammy depth.Q: How do you hold notes?A: My MIDI Hero software has an auto-hold feature for every note hit because it's more natural for a drummer to play that way. It's not a good feeling to mash sticks into drum pads to hold notes.Q: Why do the notes "hit" so late?A: I use a 145ms setting for the in-game HTDV Lag Calibration feature to counter the "controller lag" I have with my setup. I use it to make the sweet spot of the notes match the sound of the music, not when the notes cross the row of circles. That way, I play what I hear, but the notes burst into flames really late. This only applies to my GH2 videos and pre-update GH3 videos.Q: Which video editor do you use?A: My earlier videos were made with Windows Movie Maker. My latest videos are made Ulead MediaStudio Pro 8.Q: How much does this cost?A: The drumKat is a pro-quality MIDI drum pad set. These days, they run about $1k but I bought my set years ago. I also use a PC to run my custom home-brew MIDI Hero software to interpret the drum events. Then the "XIM" and "XFPS" add another $100+. This is not made for the masses. This is a one-of-a-kind setup.Q: Do you play real drums? Are you in a band?A: Yes, I've been playing drums since 1986. I have been in various bands from Jazz to Ska over the years. Right now I'm in the Detroit-based ska band The Exceptions.Q: Are you getting Rock Band?A: I got it, and should have my mod working with it soon. Then I'll probably have a lot more videos to post!Q: Is "MIDI Hero" available to the public?A: I plan on making it available for download in the coming weeks. Stay tuned..
