"The dancing lady" synth - Add some animation to you project

[kortezzzz]

Just for fun, here is a simple example how to add a running gif. style animation into your synths
The lady in the picture will dance as long as you keep playing midi. You can control the speed of her moves from slow motion speed to "Charlie Chaplin on steroids". If you like it, I can demonstrate some more animation methods.

Cheers!

Thank you kortezzzz.

Didn't know this was possible. That opens great possibilities for making nice looking things.

Have a good day.

The most interesting, 'One Note Samba' I ever played

Excellent! I like it when folks have fun with FS like this!

Charlie Chaplin on steroids

Hang on. When have you seen me dancing, then?
It's too uncanny a simulation just to be a coincidence (though I'm not half as pretty, of course!)

Nobody dance like that since the 90' left us for good
In the nowadays, everybody just hold a glass of cocktail and nod their head from left to right and vice versa. The dancing clubs are quite boring in this generation. You probably shine at every party you visit

It's the same here, and it mystifies me too. I have a couple of friends that I sometimes go to see new bands with; we're all nearly fifty now - they're usually cheap college/university gigs, so the rest of the audience are usually late-teens/twenties. It seems that us old-timers are the only ones that show our appreciation by getting to the front and having a boogie. It's not for me to tell others how they should enjoy themselves, of course; but I find it a bit sad, and I wonder what it must be like to be one of the musicians, playing to an audience of statues and waved-about mobile-phones (it would have worried me back in the days when I played in bands!)

Funny story. At a gig a few years ago, someone tapped me on the shoulder at the end to say how much they had enjoyed seeing someone "letting it all go" and boogying like crazy. She was a very pretty, young woman. When I turned around to answer her, and she finally saw my wrinkly old face and grey beard - instant . I thought she was going to faint with the shock!

That's why more and more artists push their crowd to open a facebook "story" and record them while they perform. They prefer these phones recording a video of the show instead of just showing facebook feeds that stealing the whole attention from the youngsters.

Nahhhh, Maybe she was shocked to see a man in the age of her father burning the dance floor, since most of the '40+ dudes are couch Batatas. Until technology will make us forever young, I promised my self that I'll never fall into seniority. I'm in my '40 and still feel like 25 years old. Love your attitude

I didn’t dare dance until I was too old for it to matter.

My shyness was what made me a dancer, I think - I had a choice of either hit the dance floor or, eeew, try to do talking to people and stuff!
