Heh. For the longest time when someone would say "d00d! How do I do that piano key effect!" I always thought they were talking about that video and my kneejerk reaction was to say "First, go buy the sheet music. Or get a piano and figure out the notes...".

That 'piano key' effect has to be one of my favorite effects I've seen in a video...

/me remembers the bassline from Digital Underground's Humpty Dance song, contemplates a trombone slide, and promptly fall off chair, laughing.

This has a dual purpose... teasing dwchang... and releiving my frustration of watching yet another piano key effect in video for awa/otakon/whatever con i am currently dealing with....

gah... some of them don't even try timing it to the paino notes.... or... gah...

At least with the "Thousand Miles" video it was consitant.... and though not perfect (when a "black" key was played he used the white one next to it).... it is one of those that shows howw it can enhance the current video... with out covering up for deficiencies... or dominating it

My preference is valve, but then I'm more of a baritone player than a trombone player (thought I can play both). But you can really scream on a V-bone, and get a much sharper tone than any marching baritone. Plus it confuses the hell out of most people when they see it, which scores it bonus points in my book.

But for the effects- slide, definitely. 8)

No... though I think I have seen bands march electric keyboards before with small amps. Normally they're just used in a pit for a field show, though.

Yes, it seems piano key effects are being used alot. I am guilty of doing it as well. But i made a conscious decision to not match key strokes as I had access to the necessary equipment, just thought that the randomness was what suited the particular part. Oh well, guess you can't please everyone.
