Very nice. Love the case design. I'm trying it now.

EDIT: Sorry just noticed this.

My best Blockland instrument was a digital piano, not a harpsichord which are very different instruments. The digital piano was all about replicating a real keyboard device and allowing it to record songs using variables and toggling, which it does. This build is about replicating a more organic instrument clearly. Both builds, while very different in design and approach, equally have things the other doesn't, which figures. If you had any bearing on how events worked you might have understood hurp. So saying "I got owned" is like saying someone who baked a batch of muffins got owned by someone who baked a cake; they are both bakeries but they have intentional differences and limitations respectively.

Okay my views:

Pros:
- The pianola far surpasses the pianola I created, esp. the timing is perfect. Very impressive.
- The chord feature is useful, I've seen it before so I was less impressed but all the same great.
- Soundpack was good, sounds were fine.

Cons:
- Keys just lighted up, I've never liked that.
- No loop on music, seems odd.
- The piano is too big, I like devices to be player sized but this was monstrously large. Takes away its practical use in a build.
- No sustain, maybe this isn't important to everyone but songs like the Moonlight Sonata sounded synthesized without the echo on the bass notes; a minor snag.
- Songs overlap each other if you change sheet then play

9/10, not perfect but very good and I enjoyed using it.

Of course I dislike what was written.

I don't like it when somebody tries to antagonize me because they can't appreciate my concept. This build is very different. It far beats my pianola but its not really comparable with the digital piano in its style. It doesn't take a genius to see this.
