After The Fire - 1980-F (KN6000) [with animated drums] video free download
"1980-F" by "After The Fire" played on a Technics KN6000 keyboard by Stephen Macdonald.
This is the second version of this song on my profile and this one features my attempt at some animated drum graphics of this song as played by the invisible man (my artistic skills didn't extend to drawing and animating a drummer, and nor did the amount of memory in my system!).
The drum animations were auto-synchronised with the audio by extracting the drum channel from the sequencer and using it to control the video software. Please don't ask what software was used - the answer is far too many bits of software were involved, including some I wrote myself to effect the synchronisation.
The other version of this on my profile is the same video without the drum graphics.

Good question. The note timings from the sequencer are scaled to suit the video timing of 25fps so I can easily then skew the whole lot to the nearest 40ms which is good enough for this clip. The real trick was altering the tempo from 188bpm (my original desired speed) to 187.5bpm because that way the audio timing becomes a multiple of the video timing resulting in an exact number of video frames for an 1/8th-beat note in the sequencer!15 years ago

I wonder how you accounted for the time gap between starting to move a stick versus a drum sound being made.16 years ago
