- From the page: "I think we may have found the absolute least amount of data needed to reproduce a piece of music" Have we learned NOTHING from all the countless completely embarrassing ambiguous quotes like this made in the past? YOU WILL EAT THESE WORDS.
rssn rated 4 months ago- Sounds like an new version of midi, and is lossy. It was also announced April 1st so I'm not to quick to believe this, but it seems like a particularly boring trick.

- These things are called MIDI's.

- Although the article appears to be fake, this stuff is not unreal & unknown at all in music authoring. There is a virtual instrument named TruPianos which is in effect a modeled piano VST.
What that means is that you no longer need to have samples of all different ways to play a piano (including note, force, after touch, pedals etc) because they are being calculated in real time.
The result is a piano instrument that's only 8MB in size, whereas Synthogy Ivory (one of the most well known and highest quality VSTs) occupies over 20 installation DVDs.
Of course, the technology isn't complete yet (so the Ivory sounds better that TruPianos, although the second one is preferable if you want to practice) and is not universal (every instrument needs to be modeled basically from scratch), but it will be a major breakthrough in the future.
As for those that comment that this is a simple MIDI file, keep in mind that the MIDI itself needs a reproductor, be it an FM synthesis device (like earlier Adlib & SoundBlaster cards), a Sampler, or a modeller. - Although the article appears to be fake, this stuff is not unreal & unknown at all in music authoring.

- Damn! I'll admit I fell for it. 5 minutes later I realized the article date. Does it count, tho, cause I read it on April 2nd? :D and yeah, when I read it, the letters M-I-D-I crossed my mind, too.

- This thing was invented years ago... it is called MIDI.

- I'm dubious of anything posted on 1 April.
