Marcin’s "Fake" Playing: The Max-Velocity MIDI Scam Explained (A Composer’s Analysis)

"Everyone is debating if Marcin is 'really playing' or just miming. As a composer who has produced 14 orchestral albums using virtual instruments, I can tell you: they are looking at the wrong crime.

In this video, I break down the Max-Velocity Scam. Marcin isn't just 'over-editing'—he is deliberately stripping away humanization. By maxing out velocities and quantizing to a grid, he creates an 'impossible' sound that acts as a beacon for skeptics. This 'Postmodern God Complex' in the industry uses controversy as an engine for 10 million views.

I'll show you the difference between a truly humanized MIDI performance and the hyper-real, zero-articulation aesthetic Marcin uses to trigger the algorithm. It’s not about whether he can play; it’s about why he chooses to sound like a machine."
