🎹 Synth, Rhodes, Keys and Music Stuff 🤓 🎛 Moog Music Artist 🎚️
I'm a music instructor, keyboardist, synth guy and sonic explorer in the greater Washington D.C. region (DMV). I also play didgeridoo and I'm very much interested in talking about it. : ) If you'd like to connect, send me an email or a DM on any social media channels.
That’s a great idea, brother I love it. I also thought it would be cool if they came out with a mini controller that actually looked like a sub 37 or a model D and it had the same idea the parameters change depending on what software you’re using, but you also have an amazing looking mini controller, great idea and great video
We love our Matriarch. It is an incredibly powerful analog studio synth for sound design. Please have a look and listen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bkrx_958zT8.htmlsi=rR2FRlrKd7IUqF_Y
Hey Harry, the app is Korg Module Pro and I'm using an Anker USB C 6 in 1 hub to connect the Novation Launchkey Mini to the iPad. The sound is coming out of that Bose speaker to the right. Everything's recorded with the iPhone built in mic.
Man I have the exact same settings and the resonant pluck won't sound the same. Even the snare... The release way too shorter at the settings shown in the patch book. Any idea what's going on?
Great video! Just a heads up, if you just want to hear one sound, you can still select whatever signature you’re in, but click on the green dots. That cycles on/off and accents for that beat. Love that metronome!
As another commented, take breaks of a few minutes intermittently. I think that improves the rate of learning. I think I got that from Andrew Huberman. Tal Wilkenfeld also mentioned on the Lex Fridman Podcast that she also did that when she practised as a child for only 30 minutes a day.
31 years of piano playing here. Watched the entire video for some unknown magic. No magic. That's how one could practice! Only one important oversight: do, please, do make breakes and relax your entire arm and everything inbetween. A sprinter does not run slow, immediately again quicker, immediately again even quicker. You are overusing the wrong kind of muscles! When you use the automatic increase in that app (that I love!) just add 2 or 4 extra bars!
Absolutely! I should have mentioned that I was practicing with the Automator in a sped up way to demonstrate the process more quickly. I agree and and would build in much longer times between tempo changes for sure. Thank you for the comment!
Yeah, this is pretty much the method I like to use. I do find that I have to stay at the same tempo for quite a while for some things because, even if it feels “pretty easy”, I will still have mistakes or unevenness say…3-5 out of 10 times. So sometimes I will make myself do a passage about 7-10 times before moving on just to be sure it “wasn’t a fluke” (and I can usually feel if that one or two times I nailed it was just lucky, haha:-) I will write down the tempo I left off at on my music and then when I come back, I start just a little bit under that because it’s usually more challenging when I come back after a day or so. If I have a particularly tricky spot, I’ll even keep a handful of paper clips on my piano and line them up on one side. Every time I get it, I move one across, and see how many I can get in a row with no mistakes. It’s almost like a little game, and saves me from actively having to count and my brain space is free to just focus on the music.
These are good strategies. There's other factors in all of this too, physicality, technique, etc that all changes when the speed increases. Working slowly and gradually let's you observe what is changing and gives you a fighting chance to figure out how to execute faster rhythmic passages as the tempo increases.
