It’s like a robot stuck in a blender
There’s something really appealing about using things which sound just awful to make neat music. People have managed to get a tune out ofdisc drives,dot matrix printers,both together, and now the Steam Controller’s haptic feedback.
Using a file developed bySteam forum user Pila, you’re now able to play .midi files using the two motors on either side of the controller.
Up top, you’re able to see the developer using the controller to playPortal’s credits theme, “Still Alive.”You can also listen totheDoomtheme, and the folks over atPC Gamermanaged to make a lovely sounding “Star Spangled Banner.”
It’s not recommended you play anything too lively on it because we don’t quite know how durable the actuators are. So absolutely do not, under any circumstances, crap out your controller by recording a video of you playing theDeath Waltzon it, anddefinitelydon’t send it to me for my own personal enjoyment. Totally don’t do that.
