Synaesthesia has never been so easily attained!

While 4chan is generally the bane of the Internet's existence, occasionally something really awesome can be found there. Case in point, this really neat program KeyBored. It takes your keypresses and turns them into MUSIC! ALSO YES I UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT TECHNICALLY SYNAESTHESIA. I was thinking along the lines of "This text LOOKS like gibberish but is actually music!"

Downloadable here!

Overall this is actually really neat, and the best part is that since you're typing the songs, you can present seemingly random bits of gibberish to people and they can play music! =o

For instance: (- indicates you should hold the note, since it doesn't play anything when you type it you can also just type the -'s since when I write them I try to keep the same tempo throughout. KEEP IN MIND IT IS CASE SENSITIVE.) These are all once that I've done by ear.

And RR's gonna post with some more that he's collected from the already imploded 4chan thread.

Incidentally, it's pretty weird to hear random notes come out while you're typing, especially because occasionally words sound pretty neat.

Like vagina. Seriously.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh shit that Guile theme sucks.
