Chapter 132: Strike Pad! (12/13)
Of course, the specific tune to play depends on Jiang Wanna's opinion.
Zhong Ming can exchange points for tunes, and there is a lot of room for choice, but Jiang Wanna also has to cooperate with the movements, if the playing skills are too complicated, the difficulty may be greater than doing a dance, which is more unrealistic.
Take Zhong Ming's previous performance of "PacficRim" as an example, this song is really good, but Zhong Ming has to be half tired to play it himself, not to mention letting a virtual idol play it, just adjusting his hand movements can exhaust Jiang Wanna to death.
Therefore, the music should be good, and the movements should be simple.
"I thought about the action for a moment, and it would be better to show off my talents. Dance is not considered, if you let Chanel play music, will it be difficult to move? Zhong Ming asked.
Not long after, Jiang Wanna replied.
"It's a lot easier than dancing, but it's still difficult, and the key is that there aren't enough people."
"Yes, there are actually some ready-made action templates on the Internet, which can be bought for a little money, but these action templates are relatively ...... Popularization. There are many dance moves, they are expensive, and most of the virtual idols will choose these dances, to be honest, there is nothing new, and the movements are not very good-looking. It's the same problem with the action template for playing music, which can be used, but not brilliant. ”
Zhong Ming thought for a moment: "Hmm...... If it's original music, there's basically no way to use a ready-made action template on the Internet, right? ”
Jiang Wanna replied: "Yes, because the action templates on the Internet are basically those songs and dances, the more high-end the more expensive, and it doesn't make much sense to spend so much money." If you're going to make an original piece of music, it's a good idea, and I think it's okay to do this: you don't need to let Chanel play it all, just let her be in charge of a certain instrument, and the movements are relatively small. ”
"Only one instrument?"
"Yes, for example, only violin, guitar, flute, etc.? Relatively speaking, it is mainly hand movements, there are fewer movements, and even if you play it wrong, it is not so obvious. If you're in charge of drums, piano, etc., it can be a lot of trouble, because it's easy to see that you're not playing correctly. ”
Zhong Ming understood: "That is to say, if the action of playing the drum does not match the beat of the drum, or the action of playing the piano does not match the melody of the piano, it will be exposed." ”
Jiang Wanna: "That's what it means. ”
Zhong Ming hesitated: "But...... Musical instruments such as guitars and flutes are relatively difficult to shine. It must be an instrument with more movements and more tricks, and the better it will play. After all, what we want to highlight is not music, but the performance process of virtual idols. ”
Jiang Wanna: "Then there is no way, the manpower is limited, and there must be compromises in some places." ”
Zhong Ming rubbed his chin, wondering if there was a way to get the best of both worlds.
It's certain that the music should sound good, and it must also highlight Chanel's performance, which means that the performance should be cool, and the movements should not be too complicated, and many movements should be used repeatedly.
Zhong Ming began to look for existing instruments.
If you don't think about the lack of manpower, it's definitely best to play a folding keyboard, with keys, buttons, and pads that can emulate electric guitars, basses, drums, and many other instruments.
But it's also the most complicated to play.
If you take a different instrument out of it......
Zhong Ming suddenly thought of it.
Pads!
You can make Chanel only play the pad part!
Zhong Ming immediately asked, "Is there a pad action?" Is it difficult? ”
Jiang Wanna replied after a while, probably searching for what the pad was.
"I took a look, there is, and it's not expensive, a full set of movements only costs 4,000 yuan, but there are only hand movements, and the body movements have to be adjusted by yourself."
Zhong Ming immediately replied: "I'll give you money and buy it." ”
Jiang Wanna: "Uh, are you sure?" I took a look, the hand movements are really detailed, but there is nothing particularly fancy, just move your fingers to press the buttons, is it really worth 4000 yuan? ”
Zhong Ming: "It's worth it, buy it." ”
Jiang Wanna didn't ask again: "Okay, then I'll buy it directly, but I definitely need body movements, and I should be able to do body movements when the time comes." ”
After buying the full set of actions of the pad, Zhong Ming probably has a score in his heart.
Although this set of actions sells for 4000, it is actually relatively cheap among all the action templates of virtual idols, because this set of actions is a lot of decomposition actions, and there are actions for virtual idols to click any button or button on the pad.
Although they are all click buttons, there are 64 colorful color buttons and 16 function buttons on the entire pad, so many buttons are distributed in different positions of the pad, click different buttons, hand movements are naturally different, and you may need to use different fingers when pressing two adjacent keys in a short time, which are also made in the template.
The best thing about this set of templates is that after writing the button to be pressed into the program, the virtual idol can play a rough picture according to this action, and a few fine-tuning can be perfect.
Of course, this is just hand movements, and body movements such as body shaking, head swinging, etc., still need Jiang Wanna to do, but the workload is much smaller.
In addition, I bought this set of actions and gave a model of the pad (used in the virtual scene), which can be said to be very valuable.
And Zhong Ming probably figured out what kind of tune to use.
……
Strictly speaking, pads are a little-known but commonly used instrument in the professional world, officially known as the LaunchPad controller, which is similar to an electronic synthesizer that can be used in conjunction with a music editor to edit the timbre and phrase of each spacer.
The shape is similar to a square chessboard, the top is a small square, the main part is 8*8 a total of 64 squares, and there are 8 circular function buttons in the upper and right directions. Click on the different buttons and the pads will make a pre-edited sound.
Isn't this thing like a toy? It's also by the square, and the pressure to play the piano is much higher than this, right?
Not really, because the pad has a really cool way of playing, which is that each of its buttons emits a different color of light!
After editing, when playing the pad, the whole pad will beat happily like a marquee, just like a musical game, giving people a strong visual impact.
Especially when combined with some electronic music and leg shaking divine comedy, this visual impact will be stronger.
It can be said that the pad is a musical instrument suitable for playing some electronic music and trendy tracks, which fits Shanner's character very well, and it can be said to be a perfect match.
So the next key is, what kind of song should Chanel choose? d
