now do it with only default events and no named bricks(if you have any allready)

Its not possible without making the machine overly evented and massively bulky-- recording and playback would require a massive computer at least four times the size of the one inside this piano, and even then I don't think it would be possible because there would be no way to tell what was toggled or not without making an additional brick that toggles whats toggled-- it gets messy and impractical without VCE.

The named brick thing would be useful if you wanted more than one piano, but again wouldn't work because you would need to directly link each CPU segment using a brick wire, which again would make the piano 3x bigger at least, and the wire would be a one way signal which wouldn't work if you were using the brick for multiple uses.

This piano is the best thing I've made so far, its a shame that SOMEONE has to say "no named bricks and default events" which for some reason is suppose to mean it needs those or its bad, when in fact it would worsen the build.

I never said the build was bad silly  :cookieMonster:
I was giving you a challenge.

But I'm exhausted already. :c

I believe it to be impossible. :O!

I'm hosting it for people who wanna see.

 A song competition!





I must say this piano is a bit <Puts on sunglasses> Cold YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAA

:o

Oh yeah! Well I can make...
Uh
Nothing ;3
Anywho, nice job thar, I was never any good at events.

Thank you. And its never too late to start. When I first started with events in v9, even just looking at the event dialogue confused me. Time is my advantage.

People like you are the advance eventers and builders of the future.


To address the amount of events. If you carefully remove the back of the piano, you'll find a huge amount of small silver bricks. I call this the "A1 CPU" because it have three segments. One segment for key checking and memory writing, one segment for key checking and memory removal, and one segment for memory.

When you press a key, the computer has to first find what block of memory is free, find what key is being pressed, and then toggle it to a brick while remembering what was toggled so it can be deleted for later. The memory is a massive toggle-fest thats kept in line by variables remembering whats been toggled, when, and where.

EDIT: Just to say it was going to have 40 memory but I simply couldn't fit it into the case as while the memory board would fit in the key handling segment of the CPU would have to double in size and simply couldn't fit.
