Yeah, and you call this a "piano roll" despite the fact it is obviously a clarinet roll...

It is impossible to tell how much of this my brain is filling in from memory.
i think the original is played underneath
@@juneguts it isn't
@@juneguts No, that’s the magic of converting things to midi. You should ask someone who doesn’t know steamed hams if he can understand it.
Yeah. I'd like to hear a similarly vocoded Simpsons clip that I haven't seen before just so I would know do I actually recognize the speech or not.
@@juneguts I agree with you.

What's sad about this midi is I can still hear their voice, screeching in agony
A midi conversion is just a severely limited version of the spectrogram of the original audio, so a good enough conversion program should be able to be recognisable.
Though in this case the original audio is still being played.
Do we have confirmation that the original audio is being played? People can experience auditory hallucinations from these midi transcriptions. I forget the name of the phenomenon but Adam Neely talks about it in one of his videos.
assuming the midi bars are remotely accurate, there are numerous times where there are new words being said but no new notes. The first sentence is a good example, as at the start, the midi roll is quite complex, but then it gets almost empty, yet the dialogue is just as audible.
Agnes's lines are another, as despite having deeper tones to her voice, the midi only has the higher tones.
@@KingBlonde the "Midi Illusion" thing is a myth, if audio is "converted to midi" it will be recognizable as it's literally turning every sound into a midi key, there's no illusion, it's what you're actually hearing
@@negljbreakergaming nope you've misunderstood
Steamed Hams but it's narrated by a Don't Starve character
the most underrated comment
Omg 😂
*It's all piney*
@@alexb0nd *Take that, nature!*
Neat, they've got early 90s videogame voices. Chalmers actually sounds like a Super Nintendo. Ralph would be so thrilled.
The Super Nintendo's gonna need his medication
Hi, Supernintendo Chalmers!
Ralph Wiggum or Wreck it Ralph?
I get a feeling you never used a Super Nintendo.
@@Jtmissile This video's a Simpsons clip. You finish the puzzle
2:03 I can't handle this
I prefer 0:46
The fact that the voices are not only discernible but also distinctly recognisable as skinner and chalmers is a testament to how good our mind is at interpreting voices where there are none.
1:26 my guy just said "uh" in an octave
_Sits down at piano_
"Today I will be playing a piece titled Steamed Hams"
Glad this is one of few of those Steamed Hams videos that end with the firetruck coming.
I love how Seymour's deeper timbre is visible in the fact most of his spoken works show a lot of low end notes on the piano and Chalmers's slightly brighter timbre is shown by his spoken lines staying in a slightly higher range.
Edit: corrected misspelling of tamber to timbre
*timbre
@@captprostate Thank you, I had no idea I'd been spelling that wrong this whole time 😅
I'm so happy I live in a time where such amazing things are possible.
i love this instance of random optimism. makes you appreciate life.
I was steamed in the right generation.
@@ryanhernandez8324 that's more of an Albany expression.
1:47 When Chalmers says "For steamed hams" there are two shapes at the top that look like Chalmers and Seymour sitting at the table.
True
And at 0:55 you can see a trollface
@@This_handleHOLY CRAP ITS TRUE

Nah I'm not seeing it

“🎵 *SEEEEYYYYMOORRRR* 🎵“
I love how you can see the big black mass coming in and you just know it’s Chalmers yelling “Seymour!”
Keeping the firetruck in at the end was crucial
Truly
Better than the usual audio to midi video.
Thunder Enforcer
they used a flute sample, which is better than piano since it's closer to sin wave
0:47 SeeeymoOOourrrr
avant-garde
Somehow this reminds me of when my school went to see the symphony play Peter and the Wolf, and they explained how each character was a different instrument
Don’t starve and they didn’t
I'm creeper out that I'm making out words out of what seems to be noise and I'm just thinking "yes that is what talking is"
And now it’s time for “Silly Songs with Seymour,” the part of the show where Seymour comes out and sings a silly song.
"Yes, and you say that everybody's got a water buffalo despite the fact they obviously do not"

0:47 RIP headphones
not really...
*EEEEEEEMORRRRRRR!!!!* xd
This sounds like serial music from the 1960s.
1:08 I like how it just makes a P and an N
That's some Aphex Twin level stuff right there
I really, *really* hate how I can still hear the words. Bravo.
For those wondering, yes, you are hearing the actual audio underneath all the garbled MIDI notes.
Essentially what is happening is the audio has been converted into a piano roll, and when played back the combination of all the notes being trigged at once creates more or less the original audio underneath, which you can hear reasonably well if you listen hard enough. This isnt something that could be done by human hands though, do to the sheer amount of keys that need to hit.
There is a video where someone with a real piano capable of playing MIDI files plays back Shrek and you can pretty clearly hear the actual audio.
So no this isn't a trick or illusion, its real.
Are you sure the actual audio isn't layered in with this though? The tone would be completely different if it was just the midi piano, it isn't
@@maJastoL It’s actually just the midi piano without any layering. You can tell for things like the yawn or Chalmers yelling “SEYMOUR!” Where they have a sort of auto tuned feel to them. You can hear the same effect with other midi conversions of videos too.
@@tomlawson4713 That's crazy, sounds like it still has the timbre of their actual voices underneath
It's basically additive synthesis.
@@maJastoL That's because timbre and harmony are basically the same thing. All natural sounds can be represented as several pure tones playing at the same time, that's the basis of additive synthesis, a synth technique where timbre is created by addition of many-many beeps with different frequencies (and it's also pretty much the core concept of all audio theory), and this means that you can also approximate timbres by playing chords on instruments.
Here's how an mp3-to-midi converter works: it does harmonic analysis on the given audio, finds the most prominent overtones, and creates MIDI notes out of those frequencies. The end result will obviously sound extremely distorted, because a ton of harmonic information is lost during this process, as the resulting file will only contain notes from the chromatic scale as opposed to the vast frequency range of original sound, and there are also tons of additional harmonies added by the own timbre of the given MIDI instrument. Still, the mangled skeleton of the original harmonic content remains intact within all this mess, so that's why you can hear it: because it is there, despite everything.
There's something uncanny Valley about how close yet so far from language this is
*phonemes
My favourite song
0:34 It sounds like a broken steam calliope at this part
(0:46) I like how when Chalmers yells Seymour, it's F, then E.
This sounds very clear
"Wh... eh... y'know, the... one thing I should... ... 'scuse me for one second."
(Goes outside)
"🎶 *AAAaaAaAAaaAaaAaAaaAaaAAaAAaaAAaAaaaAAaAaaAaaaAaaAaaaHHhH* 🎶"
Timestamp?
This is basically Steamed Hams if it took place in Don’t Starve
The music key portrays the emotional distress perfectly.
Steamed Hams but you're in the walls of Skinner's house
Finally, some REAL music.
Thanks! I've always wanted to play this.
Is that a clarinet?
Yeah, of all the voices I tried it was the one that was the simplest waveform (and thus preserved the original sound the best)
@Jordan may I see it?
@@captainsimon1 no
2:14
Sick dino head at 0:45.
It’s satisfying.
The original audio is clearly being played at low volume below the instrument, because you can so clearly hear their voices.
I love how after the little intro jingle whatever Chalmers just screams SeymOAÆØËÅŒÁĒour
0:59
‘Uhh, Oh’! ‘T’hat’s ‘smoke, ‘it *STEAM*.
This sounds like the soundtrack to Chibi-Robo. What a throwback
2:11 I can still clearly hear "aurora boreale" ahaahahh
It's Sparky's Magic Piano.
Lore of Steamed Hams but it's a MIDI piano roll momentum 100

"steamed cloms" lmao
@1:13
I don't remember watching this and I don't remember leaving these comments but I'm not surprised by any of this.
how the simpson creators make the steamed hams episode:
I am SO GLAD I'm stoned for watching this!
2:04 aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaahhhh
well done!
a version without the source material playing in the background would be cool!
ah yes, my favorite wind instrument: the piano
WHY IS THIS THE FUNNIEST ONE!?
the fact you could listen to this WITHOUT context and understand what is happening.
This is what Steamed Hams sounds like in hell
Criminally under-viewed
even the music gets the music part wrong
"This luncheon is still under construction!" 🚧
2:03 "🎺🎺🎺 well im pooped!"
I CAN HEAR IT
0:46 autotuned superintendent
How things sound as you're being put under anesthesia
When he yelled semor it sounded like auto tone
I knew this would be cursed before I watched it lol
Damn. I had the same idea
Want STEAM_HAM.MID (the MIDI file that serves as the background track)? It's right here: drive.google.com/open?id=1YEgtXF02BLFTKCUnuXUZcx12hA4ROy1t
Why isn't it pinned?
yes
1:05 💀
this reminds me of one time i was on mushrooms
0:15
i hate how i have so much stramed brainrot it literally sounds like its the midi layeredbon the origibal voices. thats how much my brain is filling it in. send help i am too far gone
this is how they made dont starve
Is it just me or are the notes actually saying the words
I feel like I'm going insane
i dont remember what they say this feels like ive been transported to hell i can tell theyre saying something but i dont know what
woah
I can hear multiple parts in the background in clear english?
*Steamed Hams: But It's **_Space_** By The Grateful Dead...*
1:02/1:03 - MMMMMMIDI…
this reminds me of the Tintin opening theme funnily enough
from the movie that is
Now vocode this vid.
I'd have made each character a different instrument and replaced their faces with the instruments
Is it overlayed? I can hear what is clearly the voices under the cacophony.
Yes
"I only listen to real music"
Dont starve together moment
Is this that Vocoding I keep hearing about?
Now I'm a bit confused. Is this pure midi, or is it overlaid with the original audio?
It's pure midi, your brain fills in the gaps. It's a famous illusion. If you play it near your grandma or some other poor soul who's never seen steamed hams before she'll probably hear only a ton of gibberish, without being able to get as much you do. Only the initiated ones can.
@@yggdarsilyae6807 its not /exactly/ an illusion!
all sounds including clarinet and human speech are made up of sine waves. this algorithm represents the original sine waves as closely as possible with the sine waves of stacks of clarinets, which isnt perfect by can get pretty close just by balancing missing and extra information equally.
you are hearing like 80% of the original signal being accurately recreated, which is even enough for people who've never heard steamed hams before to make out most of the words. this also has 20% of random new signals which yes do add a little confusion to new listeners.
point is, your brain isnt making up the human speech that you can hear, everyone can hear that base 80% the same, but it /is/ fluffing the gaps a bit from memory to make it easier to make out, by swapping the 20% clarinet artifacts out for the 20% of the original signal, as best as it can, which is like maybe 5%. like you still hear it sounds wrong. but its enough to make out all the words from memory when others might miss them.
They sound kinda like Animal Crossing characters!
aurora boreallis?
1:07
why does whatever instrument this is make converted midi sound much more recognizable? their voices here sound like low quality recordings compared to converted midis playing on piano which just end up sounding like random imprehensible key slamming half the time
It has a simpler waveform, so there's less incorrect information being encoded. Just lets you hear the pitch of the audio without as much extra junk to get in the way of it.
Why is the song distorted? Shouldn't it be perfectly in-tune?
The short answer is that MIDI pitch bends are a little finicky -- there's a global multiplier applied to how much pitch bends scale, which restricts the ability to sounds to be perfectly replicated by the MIDI data. When more than one sound isn't totally 'in tune' with the rest of the audio on an equal-tempered scale, stuff starts getting approximated.
