Excellent beyond words, each and every scene

That was awesome!

Just noticed the Korg O1/W in credits... a timeless gem, sounds fantastic

Indeed, Korg did the common false advertising at that time, which is now overcome (sort of) with Maize Sampler 2. Their basic deceit was in NOT stating clearly that the COOLEST instruments are made cool by processing underlying sounds through the effects bank; but, there is only one effects bank (effectively). This means you're very limited on simultaneous use of cool instruments. For example, really cool distorted guitar runs through a distortion effect, which means your piano and drum sounds will also be distorted. Which is stupid. There was no practical way to overcome this shortcoming 30 years ago. But now you just sample it into the computer, then put the sampled sounds into Maize, and magically you effectively have a clone of the Korg. The sampling takes time, but the alternative is to buy 10 old Korgs that may or may not function. Sampling also loses the nuance of key velocities, so you have to sample various velocities for full effect. And unfortunately, lots of people like old Korgs, so they aren't cheap.

Update: I just found a software version of the Korg Triton. The hardware version is about 10 years newer than the O1/W. Anyway, with the software version I can effectively play as many instances of the instrument as I please. So $99 gets me an unlimited number of synths. I'm guessing this will devalue hardware versions to near zero $.

HAAAAAAA!!!! NIGHT RIDER 🖤

Got so confused by this masterpiece. It went from normalish stuff to drangons, ships, sternwheelers, Vikings, and MICHELIN MAN!?!?

Indeed, I also asked for pterodactyls, but AI has a weak understanding of their physiology. For example, pterodactyls always have two wings and one head, and the head is attached to the body, and the head is facing generally forward at the front of the body. So the pterodactyl pictures went in the trash.

what AI program did you use to create the images?

Bing Image Creator. It is within the default "chat" in the latest Microsoft Edge browser. It is free, and I stumbled upon it when I was setting up a new computer. The instructions I gave it were a few sentences at most.
