I agree with you that this is a wonderful, classic solo. However, I would also like to add a couple more things about it. To my ear, Louis is also playing behind the beat, on the beat, and ahead of the beat at various points. He also pinches and bends notes and uses dissonance in a totally unique way that had never been heard before. It's amazing how he just cuts right through everything as soon as he starts to play, and immediately grabs your attention with every note. Miles Davis once said that Louis had already done all the things that his modern generation of jazz musicians were doing, way back in his early career. No wonder that Miles also said "The history of jazz can be said in four words: Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker".
The thing is, genuine flat earthers (not the trolls who just pretend to be flat earthers for the lulz) will plug their ears and scream LALALALALALALALA, then call BS. There's no hope for them.
Great to see another post from you. If I lived in that part of the country, I'd hire these guys! Looks like you're channeling your inner Daryl Dragon there... Is that part of the band's presentation? I notice another guy had the Jamiroquai hat...
Takes a lot of effort to research, document and remember all the music minutia. Doesn't mean that much to me, but I respect you for not making his big three rerecognized "hits" his absolute best three.
Thanks for this. Just to be clear on the chord analysis the G7 is not actually viewed or (probably) heard as a six chord but as a V/ii read five of two). The five of the two chord (out of key) resolving to the two chord (back in key now). Called a secondary dominant. But that’s just analysis. Really appreciate hearing this and your take on it all. Thanks.
*** If you're having trouble getting this patch to work, read this *** First, understand there are three connections from the Keystep to the 0-coast: 1. MOD (what Karmadog calls VELOCITY) out -> attenuverter in 2. GATE out -> SLOPE TRIG in 3. MIDI out -> MIDI in * IMPORTANT STEP: you MUST use (Arturia) MIDI Control Center to change the MOD CV SOURCE from MOD WHEEL (default) to VELOCITY, otherwise this patch won't work... As an additional tip: if you want even more control from the Keystep, use the 0-coast's MIDI Program Pages (page #4) to set MIDI B CV SOURCE to MOD WHEEL, then you can patch the 0-coast's MIDI B CV OUT to another patch point (like OVRTN), after which you can use the Keystep's mod strip to control the destination you chose. Thanks Karmadog for the great patch!
This video is SO GOOD! It’s such an insightful analysis and articulated so clearly. Are you going to make more? It would be amazing if you went through and made similar videos on the other solos you mention. I would watch them all! I’m going to share this video with friends now.
LOL. Thanks a lot! I will make more videos soon. I just moved to a new place, so nothing is set up yet. I really need to get on that. There are a few more videos on my channel you might enjoy in the meantime. Try the "All About Music" playlist. Thanks again!
Tracking with with the LFO is not bad is horrible! The only way to use this as "second" oscillator is to play something and tune the LFO as the root of what you are playing and playing only the root note with it and the rest of the notes the Mother oscillator. I don't see any other musical way beside this. In my opinion the LFO as proper second oscillator is pretty useless.
How is the keystep linked to the 0coast? Are you connected by CV or MIDI? Are you using the assignable MIDI-B cv-outs on the 0coast and if so, what have you set them to?
I had seen someone propose this in a forum or Reddit some time back. I love this solo and appreciate you taking time to review it. I remember rewinding this solo and laughing after hearing this for the first time.
@@realeyes2458 Okay, since you're new, I'll walk you through it. Once you get there, you'll see these things called librarians. They're like people, only quieter. But they talk. And they know where all the "books" are. If you tell them what topic you're looking for, they will help. You can read all you want, and it's free. For now, anyway.
@@pageljazz You can play the 1V/Oct of the VCO, che CV of the LFO and the CutOff of the VCF at maximum resonance. LFO and VCF aren't precise by definition, though.
@@mutedsounds2k And how would you play two simultaneous ,melodic lines, as I do at 5:38 in the video? True, it's not "in tune", according to the typical 12-notes-per-octave nature of traditional Western music, but each note is, in itself, precisely repeatable, albeit microtonal. But if you like microtones, as I do, this is a feature, not a bug. If there's another way two play simultaneous melodic lines on a Mother-32, I'd be curious to hear it.😀
@@pageljazz maybe quantizing the control voltages? Well, the internal sequencer (VCO) is already quantized and well tracked. The Keystep (as well as an SQ-1, a MicroBrute, a Crave, whatever should be quantized). Or add a quantizer after a Baby-8 Sequencer. I'm quite sure it works. In my patches, I sometimes drive a VCF with a sequencer (or a S&H - either sampling noise or a waveform). I call these patches NO VCO.
@@mutedsounds2k Sure, with a sequencer. But then you are stuck with just one melody that repeats. Of course, that works great and is perfect in many situations. But if one wanted to, say, improvise a melody and a bassline, that would require two keyboards, or perhaps just 2 hands (I assume some MIDI controllers have a split function, so that would probably work, but I don't think I have a controller with that function). Furthermore, with a second keyboard, one could transpose a sequence with one hand while playing lines with the other. Many possibilities.
To be fair that 0.12 degree section should be shown as the ENTIRE screen, not a sliver of a wider portion of the circle. If the goal is to compare a section of a perfect circle to the Earth, the frame of reference for viewing both should be identical. If you zoomed in more on that circle, even the 0.12 degree section would eventually look curved.
No, he did it purposely like that to show the 0.12 degree arc is so small. If he zoomed in on it he would only show its flat, which was the point. You wont see a curve with the naked eye on that model, obviously, but with some equipment you could still measure it in real life ofcourse.
Hey, what is connecting all the different instrumental and pieces together? Is it that small mixer in the corner? How are we hearing all the sounds together in the video? Thanks!
@@staulson Well, when I made this video, my Mac had a single 1/8" headphone jack that could be used for input as well as output. Very simple. Newer models have eliminated that feature (mumble grumble!), so now one needs an audio interface device. Currently, I use a Focusrite Scarlett 3. It's a little box that has two 1/4" inputs and a USB output that you plug into your computer. It's like $150 or so.
Can you use the midi cable on the key step alone (with the mother 32)? Can you use the midi and cv outputs at the same time on the keystep with the mother 32?
Yes and yes. Edit: If you're considering a controller for the Mother 32, the Keystep is fantastic. The 37-key version and the Pro (or SuperDeluxe or whatever it's called) have more features and some advantages, but just the regular Keystep is great. It will give you many cool ideas and things to try. The CV out is great to plug into cutoff, mixer, Pulse width, etc. And the CV velocity/aftertouch out can likewise be patched to these things, which give you innumerable creative and expressive possibilities. Velocity to LFO rate can make some really bonkers sounds. So get the Keystep. If you get the itch for more gear, you might want to get one of the higher models, but I'd suggest not falling into that trap. I've had mine for 4 years and am nowhere near tired of it. Have fun!
12:00 The lines of the houses' roofs should not be drawn parallel to the adjacent street line. The street is sloped but the roof is horizontal. The street and the roof should have different vanishing points. The "wrong" thing in 11:32 is that the base of the house should follow the terrain, i.e. the street. But you are right for the posts height - because post are aligned with the street.
