So, I was reading this entry about pianos and not really paying attention...
And it made me think about the human strategist and the computerized tactician. Just like the episode of Gundam Wing where Quatre was in charge of the mobile dolls. Humans are great at all that large abstract stuff, while computers are great at handling all those minor things that we don't care too much about. Abstraction, if you will.
So what if I sat at a computer-powered piano, you know, like one with those magic fingers machines installed on the bottom. And, there would be an LCD screen in front of me, and a mouse. So I could control the computer and play the piano at the same time.
"Computer, play the left hand part to heart and soul for me. gg thx no re"
How cool would that be? Duets, very doable now. It could use standard MIDI software. And the MIDI output would be translated to the appropriate keys on the paino. Truly a marriage of man and machine.
