Guild Wars 2

Most nights im on I play live music with a band I put together from multiple accounts. I recently did a question to see where music in GW2 is going and had a request to re-link my midi keyboard project for GW2:

https://github.com/michaelhester07/gw2musician/releases

v1.2 was the last update I did for it. I’ve been using this app to make my band work. I control 4 characters through it with a Midi keyboard, currently a Roland FA-08 (it sounds way better to me than what you hear in the game).

I play mostly covers of 70s to late 80s music and some original pieces. The play list usually includes:
Pink Floyd’s another brick in the wall part 2, Mother, and Hey You
Journey’s Open Arms, Lights, Wheel in the sky, separate ways (working on Dont stop Believin)
Bunch of Andrew Lloyd weber hits
Working now on some Moody Blues stuff: Nights in White Satin, Tuesday Afternoon (which looks promising for GW2 instruments currently)

I used to stream the shows but the stream never got any hits. Anyway I’ll be doing a show tonight starting at about 9pm EST near the dwayna statue in divinity’s reach. Look for Little Red Lioka there. Other show times will usually include the weekends 10pm EST till late generally in the same place. I may be joining the Musician’s Guild of Tyria during some performances. See you there!

All the times i’ve announced these things i’ve never posted videos to go with. Here’s one where i covered Moody Blues’ Tuesday Afternoon.

Last night I recorded a cover of Nights in White Satin

For this recording I had one band member sit out and “hold the camera” while the others played. This was so i could see what other players see and hear. My assumption about music was true. What you hear on your end when you play an instrument is not piped through the server but routed directly out. You could think you’re playing fine while the server lag garbles your song.

That said the server does do a faithful reproduction of what you play. I recorded more from last night and I’ll post it later.
