Monti On The 'Bin

Qwertuoso is put to the test in this rendition of Vittorio Monti's Csárdás for C64 and piano.

To make this video, I first recorded the piano part. Then I listened to that on speakers while playing the solo part and recording the raw line-out signal. This clean audio recording was then combined with the mechanical noises picked up by the camera. I selected the best material from multiple takes, and then I added a tiny bit of reverb to make it sound as if the Commodore was recorded in the same acoustical space as the piano.

For the talky bit at the end, I built a teleprompter out of a cardboard box and a piece of acrylic from a photo frame.

Hello Linus,

I just found your videos on YouTube last night. This is brilliant! Thank you. And excellent explanation on the Qwertuoso page about the alignment of button box layout to qwerty.

Question: I see in the opening shot of this and the Partita Prelude that you are holding a knob with your non-keyboard-playing hand. I read the explanations on these pages, listened to your descriptions, but never hear you address what this does. The setup closeup of equipment only appears to show a bread board, but with no knob. Can you please point me to the article on your forum where that is explained? Thank you!

It's a simple volume control made with a fader-type potentiometer.
