Rummy Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 So just sprang by some old forums I haven't visited for ages, glimpsed a thread about this program called Keybored, which basically turns your keyboard into...a keyboard! It's quite cool, and I've been having fun playing tunes on it, and scouring the internet for said tunes, or just hearing my computer sound like the ones from the 70s films when I type. It's just a nice little time waster, really http://thebatman.net/keybored/ Here's a few to get you started(see if you can guess them); Tune1 y ert rew wry tre ert y r ww t uo iuy ry tre ert y r ww Tune2 jle jle jleyterekh ghkh jle jle jleyteryek ekgh ghj kle reh ghj kle rty ghj kle reh gfjh kjlk ewre tryu ty And something a little(nearly) festive! ddd ddd dgasd fff ffdd ddd s s d s g There's some more on this Digg page, and a wiki of some more here.
ReZourceman Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Oh my god....actually can't wait to play this when I get home.
Shorty Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 So much fun! And now typing this post is so musical!
Happenstance Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Typing is so much more fun now on forums!
BlueStar Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Hmm, doesn't seem to work for me, I can run it and everything but I just get silence when I type.
Twozzok Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 I wish there was a way to make them into midi signals instead of sounds.That would make my life so easy.
Rummy Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 You got java bluestar? Using the KeyBoredRunner and not just KeyBored? For some silly reason it uses the runner to run the app, but meh. Mainly I'm enjoying the fact my computer can make really random sounds as I type. It's even more fun when you type slower! Also, shift sharpens/flattens a note, dunno if you can do it the other way though.
jayseven Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 hahaha is a robotic laugh, yet the word robotic is fairly nice sounding. In fact, typing like this sounds like some sort of piano monster from a banjo kazooie game, or something. Really makes me want to keep on typing ing ing infffffffff
Dyson Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Wow, this is actually amazing. Loved the original tunes on your post Rummy. HAhahaha I just want to keep typing now, wow.
Shino Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 LOL (lol sounds awesome (and using caps changes the pitch!)) I loved typing those musics. It's way more entertaining then I expected!
CoolFunkMan Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Lol this is great. XD Whoever came up with this is a genius! However, how the hell do you stop it? I can't have this running forever, lol! EDIT: I ran the wrong program, it's working properly now, lol.
Dyson Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 lmao I've had this running since I got it, it's so awesome. Using instrument 51, it reminds me of SM64 when I type some words :P
MoogleViper Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Loved the ocarina of time one Rummy. Try typing in your names. MoogleViper sounds awesome. not as awesome. Edited February 3, 2014 by MoogleViper Automerged Doublepost
Shino Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 lmao I've had this running since I got it, it's so awesome. Using instrument 51, it reminds me of SM64 when I type some words :P You can change instruments?!
Gizmo Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 This is awesome. Driving my sister mad by installing it on her PC too, much lulz.
MoogleViper Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Play both lines at the same time (first line with left hand 2nd with right). It sort of works. ggggggffffffddddddsssssssdfg hhhhhhjjjjjjkkkkkkllllllkjh
jayseven Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 This is awesome. Driving my sister mad by installing it on her PC too, much lulz. BRILLIANT idea! I am going to install it on every PC I get near to.
Eenuh Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Awww I feel left out... =( But I'm also too lazy to start up my PC and install it, heh. Sounds fun though.
Paj! Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 *grumbles "Mac compatability? Course not..." then leaves* I do have windows on my mac, but it's a hassle, and all my music is on the Mac partition.
Rummy Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 Heh, I'm also considering putting it on all our computers, though it's only mine and my sister's laptop functioning atm, and only I use mine. My brother only uses his too, but it'll be fun to do on my sister's laptop to annoy my dad. You can change instruments?! Make sure you're running KeyBoredRunner.exe and not KeyBored.exe, you can change instruments through there(though you have to stop then start again). Shame it won't work on macs Also, I find it quite amusing that with a vibraphone, the C word sounds quite a pleasant little thing
or else you will DIE Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 *grumbles "Mac compatability? Course not..." then leaves* I do have windows on my mac, but it's a hassle, and all my music is on the Mac partition. dude just open garage band and load a midi instrument...

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Damn, this is addictive! Try number 41 and play the following: w h wwerty yyuio ooiuiuy yttyu ytrrty treert uy hhh hhh hhh h
Rummy Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 Haha tell me about it, I been playing that theme since you posted it lol, trying it with diff instruments(currently on 49 string ensemble 1). Sounds very grand, but it feels a bit weird at the beginning though, thinking this might work a tiny bit better; e h eerty yyuio ooiuiuy yttyu ytrrty treert uy hhh hhh hhh h
