]]>@Gaston It is derived from a quantized midi file. I'm not sure if someone plays it or not, I would imagine it isn't played by anyone since it sounds just straight up robotic and there aren't any mistakes in it.
Most of the midis I use I get them from 8notes.com or similar websites. I heavily modify them to make them sound the way I like. It takes me about a week or so for a 5 minutes track, either by going note by note or by me recording and adjusting some parts (I'm not a good pianist so I usually record at like 1/4 the speed).
A few others, like the Mario World I have in my channel are straight up renders of the quantized midi with a simple "humanizer"; the "humanizer" improves how natural it sounds bur, you can clearly hear and see the difference.
So straight answer, no, I don't think they are real performances and I wouldn't consider the editing a performance.
As a bonus point, this last week I've been modifying it again to make another one more closely resembling this performance: https://youtu.be/mXGSfJn3nKQ
Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be done with it, as I'm still editing the 3rd movement of the Appassionata.
