Turn your keyboard into Daft Punk’s “Harder Better Faster Stronger” or “Technologic”

without comments

HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGEUR! Don your robot helmet and climb aboard your psychadelic pyramidal spaceship. This funky little web app allows you to perform Daft Punk’s Harder Better Faster Stronger or Technologic live using your computer’s QWERTY keyboard! It has advanced considerably over time and now has built in beats and pitchbending. Even available as a free iPhone app through iTunes.
