I was dicking around with this for like 30 minutes even though I have an actual high quality YAMAHA electric piano with midi functionality right next to me.

[–]Se7en_Sinner 91 points92 points ago

It's just not the same.

[–]Zerkyl 41 points42 points ago

I swear I have seen you everywhere on reddit comments ಠ_ಠ

[–]LifeFailure 47 points48 points ago

He's Andrewsmith1986's alt.

[–]iamthemindfreak -3 points-2 points ago

He's famous around here. A regular veteran

[–]TerWood -1 points0 points ago

He's tagged here as "Knows about RES". So I think he might be here a lot.

[–]SpookyMelon 0 points1 point ago

For me, he's tagged as "Elderly man on the toilet".

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I know right, just like that Pac Man doodle.

[–]Durzo_Blint 8 points9 points ago

Someone did an estimate and found out that doodle cost companies worldwide millions of dollars in wasted man hours.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Tell me about it.

[–]inferno1005 1 point2 points ago

did you get your name from the old Xbox modding website?

[–]cuttinace 2 points3 points ago

Old? I was under the impression that website was still relevant.

[–]inferno1005 0 points1 point ago

Didn't know, haven't been on the modding scene since the 360 came out, so I haven't even checked to see if it was still up

[–]croberts425 1 point2 points ago

I'm with you on that one. I got a Korg M50 and Roland Gaia to my right, not nearly as entertaining as the Google Moog though.

[–]joepeg 2 points3 points ago

[–]Yofi 1 point2 points ago

FYI "Yamaha" is not an acronym…or maybe you're just really excited about your YAMAHA!

[–]Err0rX 1 point2 points ago

My YAMAHA audio receiver is in all caps like that. I think that's just how they spell their brand name.

[–]Yofi 1 point2 points ago

It also says UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on our money but I don't say I live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

[–]Err0rX 1 point2 points ago

Unless you're REALLY EXCITED about it.

[–]PinballWizrd 73 points74 points ago

For anyone interested, this GIF was made from this fucking amazing video that you should take the time to watch

[–]prince_of_tacoma 15 points16 points ago

Oh god. I've seen that gif hundreds of times, but never the video. Thank you so much. That was beautiful. I'm crying a little bit now.

[–]AQUA2 4 points5 points ago

Definitely amazing. Thanks for posting.

[–]ThinkinWithSand 1 point2 points ago

So damn close to one million views. It should have a couple extra digits in the view count.

[–]knudow 1 point2 points ago

This is why I hate when I see this gif being used as a funny thing :( If I see it I just get sad.

[–]Awesomekip 0 points1 point ago

Dan Deacon with Pink Batman. Such an amazing song

[–]AFamousBuffalo 132 points133 points ago

Crater Face is so sad :'(

[–]cheesyguy278[S] 42 points43 points ago

[–]cheesyguy278[S] 14 points15 points ago

This represents you. Or you represent this. Not sure

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

he was referring to this video op, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsUYxwIEerI watch, lulz indeed

[–]Inthenameofscience 1 point2 points ago

I happened to be listening to "Moonlight Sonata" at the time. Sweet fuck that was amazing.

[–]YOLOERRDAY 7 points8 points ago

NIGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[–]EricFaust 3 points4 points ago

What if I told you that people say "LIK DIS IF YOU CRY EVERTIM" and "5EVER" as a joke?

[–]EA_Support_Rep 5 points6 points ago

What if I told you jokes are supposed to be funny?

[–]EricFaust 15 points16 points ago

What if I told you that humor is subjective?

[–]MegaZambam -2 points-1 points ago

What if I told you the only opinion that matters is mine?

[–]InternetXplorerNigga 3 points4 points ago

Reddit commenter is the annoying Facebook girl?

[–]yammys 1 point2 points ago

Thank you for "evertim", I feel like too many people get that wrong and it's the best part.

[–]ladybuoy -5 points-4 points ago

I felt nothing while watching that.

[–]AFamousBuffalo -1 points0 points ago

Cool story bro.

[–]PuffMyCubanCigar 51 points52 points ago

I was playing on that for 45 minutes, and not a single second of it sounded good

[–]DreadPiratesRobert 21 points22 points ago

DOO DOO, DOO DUUH, BEW BWAHHH

[–]DillyBopper5000 4 points5 points ago

I think that last note was in the form of whale.

[–]DreadPiratesRobert 1 point2 points ago

Yes... it was

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I figured out how to play the beginning of MGMT's "Kids"....which took using the entire keyboard, so I gave up. I don't understand why google didn't just make one row of keys the white keys and then the row of computer keys above the first one the black keys, like any other sane computer-keyboard synth program.

I never see any of the Google logos of the day when I use Firefox, does anyone else have this problem? I try to log out of Google, refresh, etc but I still just see the standard logo, and always miss out on the cool stuff. How do I fix this?

[–]Charlie_went_Brown 1 point2 points ago

With Chrome.

I'm not sure, actually. Are you sure that you go to www.google.com rather than the Google Mozilla homepage(I think Mozilla sets Google's homepage a bit different)?

[–]I_Am_Indifferent[!] 3 points4 points ago

Thanks for this! Someone pointed me towards it yesterday (I don't use Google so would have missed it entirely otherwise) but I think my adblocker or something must have been messing with it, cos it wasn't working for me at all.

This one does though!

EDIT: apparently the reason it didn't work is cos I use Firefox instead of Chrome.

[–]EarthRester 12 points13 points ago

I don't use Google

Then....what do you use?

[–]Bloody_Conspiracies 3 points4 points ago

Google Chrome probably.

[–]I_Am_Indifferent[!] 7 points8 points ago

Duckduckgo. Supposedly it doesn't track you like Google does. I only head over to Google for maps and stuff.

[–]MyHairyLegs 0 points1 point ago

get the disconnect extension. works great. i find duckduckgo's results very limited

[–]I_Am_Indifferent[!] 0 points1 point ago

Really? Aside from the lack of image/Youtube results I've not had a problem finding anything so far.

Gonna look into the disconnect thing though, thanks.

[–]viveledodo 36 points37 points ago

My attempt at dubstep...I'll stick to my dayjob.

[–]Chloro 8 points9 points ago

I remember this from a flash video, but I don't remember its name. Does anyone know it?

[–]MightyMeGusta 17 points18 points ago

Crater Face

[–]Chloro 4 points5 points ago

Thank you!

[–]slaya771 4 points5 points ago

I figured out how to make pure bass with that thing. Just turn every knob as far counter-clockwise as it will go, except for the biggest one in "MIXER", the bottom one in "ENVELOPE", (those go all the way clockwise) and put the three knobs on the left in "OSCILLATORS" on LO (or 32' if you don't have a subwoofer or deep-bass headphones).

[–]LBK2013 4 points5 points ago

So turn every knob counterclockwise but dont! Gotch ya.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Has been the boot animation on all my phones since I have seen it.

[–]Cyberboss_JHCB 0 points1 point ago

how is this sorcery done?

[–]dugFreshness 0 points1 point ago

I know MIUI rom for Android does custom boot animations.

I am not too sure, but I did see something that is similar for non rooted phones that is an app.

I'll have to look it up when I get to my computer.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

You have to break the gif into single frames and rename them. And also size and set frame rate in a text file. There are a few good threads on XDA about it.

[–]terroristvideo 2 points3 points ago

For anyone who knows about synthesis (or just wants to know a bit more about what the knobs do), MOOG has provided a guide.

PROTIP: You can use the keys on your computer keyboard to "play" the doodle, though I'd recommend turning off Instant since you'll probably end up losing your patch - I did about 12 times :(

[–]silly_bear666 4 points5 points ago

The video that gif is made from made me cry

[–]Natteke 2 points3 points ago

It doesn't even work for me :( No sound. My friend also has the same problem. Wat do?

[–]aagavin 0 points1 point ago

Doesn't seem to work outside of chrome.

[–]LeanBean17 3 points4 points ago

Works in Safari for me.

[–]aagavin 0 points1 point ago

I'm using firefox 15alpha and it isn't working.

[–]Natteke 1 point2 points ago

B-but! I use Chrome!

[–]aagavin 0 points1 point ago

Call google tech support then.

[–]iamseriodotus 4 points5 points ago

Is this from Puzzle Agent?

Nope, it's a world of warcraft paladin guide.

[–]fat0ninja 0 points1 point ago

He presses too many buttons for it to be that, surely.

[–]dasstrooper 1 point2 points ago

How the fuck do I play with it when signed in to igoogle?

[–]score_ 0 points1 point ago

Right above the ''e'' in '''google'', there a 4 small circles (red, blue, green, and yellow), if you click on that, you can play with today's doodle while signed into iGoogle.

Bloom by Radiohead was playing while I watched this gif. They went together eerily well.

[–]motney 1 point2 points ago

Only just now noticed the subliminal upvote message.

[–]Crtl-Alt-Delete 1 point2 points ago

Subliminal upvote arrow.

[–]i1800collect 1 point2 points ago

Goes and checks the Google homepage.

Welp, say goodbye to the next hour or so of my life.

[–]CannedBeef 1 point2 points ago

Orange arrow...very subtle, yet very effective.

[–]brosenfeld 0 points1 point ago

I was playing around with it for a little yesterday while I was at work.

[–]trappedinsuburbia 0 points1 point ago

How do you get this to work? Mine is just a link when I click on it.

[–]Scarjaka 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't work for me in chrome, but if I open google in firefox it works. Wtf?

[–]John_um 0 points1 point ago

A keyboard and/or mouse is a horrible input device.

[–]Isatis_tinctoria 0 points1 point ago

What is this gif from?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

crater face, watch it on youtube. its great.

[–]Isatis_tinctoria 0 points1 point ago

Is it a song?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sort of. it has a really fucking awesome song playing behind it, but the video is a really powerful and beautiful animation. watch it, trust me. you wont be dissapointed.

[–]Isatis_tinctoria 0 points1 point ago

I just watched it and basically it is a story about a guy saving two craters that have lived on the same moon for a long time, but never knew each other. He tried to introduce them to each other, but suddenly when the crater's hopes are up, he has to leave, but decides to basically sacrifice himself for their happiness.

I liked it.

What philosophical implications do you derive from this?

[–]hunter96 0 points1 point ago

I could watch this for hours...

[–]amoorefan2 0 points1 point ago

I see. You post a hot comment from earlier relating to Google piano thingy and you get front page. wow.

Looks like the work of Tom Winkler.

[–]PvtPlatypus447 0 points1 point ago

I had my guitar in my hands when I first saw the page today. I was writing a song, but I lost it by spending 30+ minutes changing random settings on the virtual keyboard.

I read that as Google Lego and thought I had missed another fun Google design

[–]nidi617 -4 points-3 points ago

The Google logo is not different... It's been the same for some weeks. For me at least.

[–]cheesyguy278[S] 5 points6 points ago

What country do you live in? Do you have a custom background on? today a moog pad is the logo

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

That appears to be an up-vote on the bottom of the screen...

[–]cubicplains 0 points1 point ago

or from his angle a left arrow.

[–]InhaleMusic -1 points0 points ago

I couldn't play The Song of Storms on the Google Doodle. Worst. Doodle. Ever.
