Theres a difference between sound that comes from a vibrating string or reed and the sound that
comes from a circuit board and out of a speaker. They are both music but one is more 'true' than
the other.
Imagine taking this electric box thing back to the middle ages. The denizens of that time would
likely think theres a demon inside it.

If effort alone made anything good, no one would be an utter failure or mediocre. Also consider
that the person also had to get the appropriate sound samples, map them to the various buttons,
and then learn the proper pattern to get the song they wanted. Holy shit, that sounds like
finding a proper instrument, learning to play it, and learning to play it properly, I guess it's
not truly music though because it doesn't have strings or involve one having to blow air through
the metal equivalent of a hippo's shit tubes, or involves good fellatio skills.
It's fucking soundwaves you insipid fucks, if it sounds good, it sounds good, subjectively or
otherwise. Hell, the best songs on things like piano can't be played by human hands.

Electronic music has been a concept since we figured out how to make electronics make sound. It's
no different starting out than any other music, electric guitars and other instruments freaked
people the hell out when they first came to be, and a lot of older people didn't like it, but the
younger generations liked it because it was different and more of their creation than their
parent's music. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not music, it's just not music
to you. Just the same as country and slow dance songs aren't music to me. It also depends on
where you grow up. Your definition of music is subjective to which older students you idolized in
school just because you wanted to be part of their crowd. So everyone grow the hell up and either
listen or don't listen.

"Electronica is a music genre composed within a wide range of contemporary electronic music
designed for a wide range of uses, including foreground listening, some forms of dancing, and
background music for other activities. Unlike electronic dance music not all examples of
electronica are necessarily made for dancing.[1][2] In the United States genres such as techno,
downtempo, and ambient are among those encompassed by the umbrella term, entering the American
mainstream from "alternative" or "underground" venues during the late 1990s.[2][3] This music
became popular with the German band Kraftwerk." - wikipedia

You understand that people making electronic music are literally doing the same exact thing as
composers like Bach and Beethoven, right?
The obvious difference is that computerized sequencers let you hear the music in realtime while
it's being created, while composers in the 17th and 18th century had to get people to play the
music for them and write it down on paper.
As for you people talking about this guy's performance, he's isn't making this music realtime, he
made it beforehand in a music sequencer and then bound the different pieces of it onto his pad in
a way that he could repeat.
Think of it more as a choreographed dance for your fingers or playing a game like guitar hero
blindfolded. He is NOT playing an instrument.

I should add that I think this track takes several extremely popular songs and combines them into
something completely original.
It's an amazing mashup that he put a lot of effort into.
If only you people knew how hard it is to match, master, and modulate music like this into one
fluent sting that's audibly appealing.

Just so we're clear, I'm a different anon than the one who was defending Skrillex
The thing is electronica is such a broad fucking term, if you say Skrillex is electronica then
you might as well say it's dubstep
Electronica as a term sprung up during the 90s wave of electronic music, and stuck because it
made said electronic music marketable.
Electronica as a well defined genre doesn't exist.

it's not as elegant as the piano. with this device you can play songs composed of recordings
which are physically impossible to perform otherwise but there's little merit it if it's not
within a person's own capability.
the performance of dexterity is indeed impressive but at the same time entirely arbitrary. the
customizability backfires here because any recording can be placed anywhere and only the
performer knows which plays what. that leaves no room to teach others or to learn from/criticize
by speculating. in the end it functions like a synthetic keyboard 2.0, but i'll never acknowledge
it as an actual worthy instrument.

Not the guy you responded to. That thing is actually easier to play, it's even ordered so that
every not in each octave is in their own individual row. Want to go down an octave? Just push the
button below it. Want to do that with a piano? Move your entire arm and hand down seven keys in

They're pretty much just different names for the same thing. Some people argue that there are
very slight differences, but it really doesn't matter. A genre is just a way to categorize music,
it's not a bible that you have to follow to the dot. The meanings rapidly change and evolve as
new music is made that doesn't necessarily fit into one specific category. One person's
definition might be different from another's. Genres are only really set in stone when the mass
public comes to acknowledge one definition as right.
Most people refer to the genre as Electro or EDM (Electro Dance Music), but it's really just
personal preference.

Easier from a mechanical perspective, but there's more to an instrument than simply mechanical
action. Two big differences between this keypad and a piano are that a) a piano isn't as
time-sensitive, and b) a piano has a wider margin of error.
Piano players can play a 70 BPM piece at 60 or 80 BPM without too many people noticing, while the
keypad would expose such error if samples were made with a strict 70 BPM expectation; pianos play
pure and infinite noise, while the keypad plays time-sensitive sound. And despite the convenient
arrangement possibilities (such as octal-based), hitting the wrong keypad key could play an
entirely incorrect sound. An off-by-one-key voice sample rather than a synth chord (or a
different voice sample) would buck the entire permanence, while hitting a C# instead of C just
causes transient disharmony
tl;dr - the two instruments require different skillsets, and neither is "easier" than the other
to make music on
