Добавлен 29 июл 2010
This is Michael Scarabino, and I’m a songwriter from New York, USA. I don’t believe in boundaries when it comes to music, because all that we should ever care about, is deciding on what’s best for the moment we’re present for! My writing process is the same as the human mind, it wanders on and on, and the only limit is your own imagination. We can use music to express the emotions not simply spoken, and it’s my hope that when you listen to any song, you can enjoy it and create a connection of your own.
If you’re new to my work, welcome to this journey! Aside from my project, I sing, and play guitar and piano in QU!ET. You may find me on any social media platform under @michaelscarabino. Follow me, stay in touch, and I hope that you continue to enjoy the music I release!

The Best Way To Run The Mastermind GT
If the guitar you call your favorite to play is based on your preferences of tone and comfort, then the correct way to run the Mastermind GT is based on what works best for YOU! Allow me to show you how I based my decisions on running my guitar effect system with the MMGT 22. I hope that my example of how I run my rig can be something to model off of, when you're planning how to run your Mastermind workflow!

Which pickups are closer in sound to manson pickups?
Hi. May I ask you a question? I bought a Kork Kaoss Pad KP3+ an a Korg Manson with midi Screen. I think that I connected the Guitar with the KP3 + and the Axe FX II correctly. But I cannot use the Guitar as a Controller. I can play the guitar but the effect do I touch directly on the KP3+ Screen. Wenn I Play the guitar, so I can hear the sound, but the Midi Screen doesn't work. I'm probably setting the midi functions on the KP3+ incorrectly (channel or filter)..... I hope you find the time to give me an idea. Thank you in advance for your answer. Best regards. Beat
Hey! I'm not 100% sure that I understand what you're asking about. If your MIDI screen is not sending data to the kaoss pad, then make sure that your MIDI channels are the same.
@@michaelscarabino Thank you for answering! Sorry to bother you again. That's what I do not understand. Are you referring to the channelsettings between KP3+andAxe FX II?
Hi Michael, cool video ! At 19 minutes and 30 seconds you mentioned that you cannot go beyond preset 128. That’s not correct and I’d like to help you and others that might not know. Yesterday I tried to comment - For the very first time on RUclips, by the way - but somehow, my comment got deleted. Maybe it’s too long, I don’t know. I tried several times. If you could help me post a comment, I’d be glad to help ^^ (Maybe this comment gets through as it’s not as long as my original comment)
Hello! Thank you for watching, and writing in! When I say that in the video, I'm referring to the ability to assign PC's/CC's. In all MIDI devices, and DAW's, you are limited to 0 to 128. Not to be confused with how many presets are available to use in the MMGT! From there, you could determine how you'd like to assign actions to which presets. I hope this gives some clarity to what I said.
@@michaelscarabino Hey cool. Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that you were saying that you cannot load up more than the first 128 presets on your axe fx. If so I’m happy to say you’re wrong :) I’d be glad to help though :) The Midi standard specified from the beginning a “Bank Select” message (two actually). I’ll try posting my message again w/o links…maybe it’s the links that get my comment deleted ^^
@@JazzMaster50 Ohhhh interesting! Dude, I love being wronged, I appreciate you bringing this up!
@@michaelscarabino Glad i could help! So do you happen to know more about my question? Here it is again: Is there a way to externally control the EXPRESSION PEDAL of the MASTERMIND ? Say i have a second midi controller, that i want to use to remotely control the MASTERMIND. Say i have a ROLAND FC-200 with an integrated Expr. Pedal that i’d like to use and control whatever the MASTERMIND Expr. Pedal is assigned to. Do you know if this is possible for the MASTERMINDs ? In the manual i can only see a way of changing IA’s and PRESETs - basically what you’re explaining in your video :( Help is much appreciated !! BTW: Google „docs rjmmusic external-midi-control“ There you’ll find an explanation how to address the presets in the Mastermind…The concept is basically the same as in the Axe Fx. Only they want you to send CC#32 instead of CC#0. Interesting read.
Damn, you got it!
This video is fantastic! I also have a Manson guitar with XY MIDI pad and you solved all my doubts. Thank you very much, man!!
Anytime pal!
2:46 Wow Like Same The Band Muse Live In The Haarp! 🤩
YES! We love KP preset 79 haha!
whats the looper you have called??
Awesome and very helpful video. Question for you - what kind of cabling are you using for long stage runs? Using a long usb cable is obviously not great.. Are you using some kind of usb b to ethernet converter at the Mastermind GT and then running ethernet to the computer?
Thank you pal! Great question. So I actually do use long USB cables, however they're not extensions. We get these 35 ft and 65 ft cables in, depending on what we need them for will determine the length. I never experience any MIDI signal issues with the rig, nor any problems with Ableton automation commanding it either! You just have to ensure that the way you rack mount your connections are secure. For example, don't just fasten a MIO port to the floor of the rear of your rack (bad idea on my part in the past lol), get a rackmount patch bay that won't allow any dangling.
David, so, shortly after you posted your comment, turns out you were right. We did a production rehearsal, and for the first time ever I experienced automation failure! I talked to a touring tech I'm friends with, and learned that MIDI in fact does NOT send accurately after 15 ft in USB cables, I never knew that. So he introduced me to the concept you spoke of. Here's what I got in. You get a set of Cat 5 converters, one is a cat 5 to USB connector that's powered by your computer, and then the other is a USB hub that takes your MIDI devices, and sends to the computer receiver. I chose to get a 2t ft Cat 5 cable. And you can get one that goes for even longer. This way of connecting has made my life easier in ways I wouldn't have thought, and I have not had any glitches so far. Good call dude! I had no idea this was ever a problem!
@@michaelscarabino That timing is so crazy! Any way you could provide a link for the devices you are using? I'm a little confused.
@@davidsuperdock7940 YES! Here you go: www.amazon.com/Extender-Ethernet-480Mbps-Adapter-Cameras/dp/B0BG79W2RW/ref=sr_1_15?crid=2O0KU6K45C0Q2&keywords=usb%2Bto%2Bcat5&qid=1696521808&sprefix=usb%2Bto%2Bcat5%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-15&th=1&fbclid=IwAR08IcT-3h5Xk1qJ8QL7b6ipHNczxLux7dQQzANr4HCukuR4dU-AmGagacA
Thank you! If the background music could be lowered it would be very helpful so that we can hear your information without volume competition. It would be REALLY nice to know how to create a RJM GT set up using pedals and and the rjm effect gizmo without a rack system. In others taking an exiting pedal board and converting to using the GT as the main switching board. Again Thank you!
Thank you! Sorry about the music, I get self conscious about videos of me talking lol. You can pretty much create that kind of rig doing the exact same setup methods demonstrated in this video. It would just look a little different. In all honesty, you might be better off getting the Mastermind PBC for that. That device runs the same kind of control that the GT does, AND it has loops in it for pedals. Its way more practical for real estate purposes on a board as well. However, not to say it can't be done with the GT, I've seen it! Good luck on your rig dude!
@@michaelscarabino Thank you for your timely response! I've looked at the PBC but the form factor and the lighted Scripts (HUGE PLUS) make the difference for me. Again, thank you!
Awesome demonstration thank you for sharing
I was wondering if you could upload a video or somethjng about how you plug the guitar and kaos pad in? Like does it need another cable and plug into the guitar for the pad? Does the pad then need to plugged into a midi or somethjng? It’d be great to see how the set up is
You're in luck pal! Right here: ruclips.net/video/LNYXDZ1e8GI/видео.html
How much this guitar in Usa
Rock👍👍🤟🤟
Thank you for the explanation. I have a KP3 and Panda midibeam. I also have a MA-EV 10th hollosparkle with fuzz. Beautiful guitar.
Demmit!!! So fantastic
Thank you very much!
This is a bit off topic but I can't find any info on this. But can the xy pad of my KP3+ be controlled by a different midi controller? Via midi expression pedals, or the pitch and modulation wheel of a midi keyboard controller? the KP3 manual states that CC#12 controls the X and CC#13 controls Y
Interesting question! You could probably find a way to connect an expression pedal to assign it to certain CC values to control certain toggles on a KP. However I don't think it could control the actual touch pad. The movement of the pedal would not be able to control the motion of the kaoss pad action very well with demanded results. That's kind of ambitious, but if you accomplish that, share it!
Hi! Interested in the MIDI screen operation: are you stuck on a fixed CC for each axis, on can you reprogram them? Is there a way to change CC programming on the fly? Also: which is the direction along x and y axis? i.e bass strings to high strings = x increase, bridge to neck = y increase?
Thank for a thorough review. Regarding the XY pad - iiuc there is no way to switch the midi channel it controls? I read somewhere that these are always channel 12 and 13 and you need to adjust your pedals to expect Control Change messages on that channel? How does it work in a live setting between different songs? Clearly there is no time to reprogram the pedals, so are you limited to controlling 2 parameters across all your effects throughout a gig?
Hi Michael, a super useful video! Can you daisy-chain multiple MIDI devices to the XY Pad on the Manson? If so can you assign e.g. X axis to pitch from whammy and Y axis to one of Kaoss Pad's filters? Or if you can only control one device at a time, is there a way to switch between the two (Bellamy is known for using both Kaoss Pad and Whammy if I'm not mistaken). If you can control 2 devices at all, how do you switch between them? Do you assign devices to different MIDI channels? Can you control which channel you're sending the signal from your guitar?
Hey Marcin, thank you for watching, I'm glad that this video is helpful! So, that is a question that I get asked OFTEN. Its most likely that Matt has the Bluebell only routed to a whammy pedal for Break It To Me. Every other guitar with a MIDI screen goes to a KP2. As far as switching, I have thought of how I'd do it in the past, but it requires more costly accessories. I've personally never been interested in doing it, but I'm sure its possible.
【p】【r】【o】【m】【o】【s】【m】 😴
гитара интересная, поздравляю с покупкой! может и играть научишься..
can i know why the volume of KP2 is not loud?
That depends on how you currently have your rig setup. Check your speaker/amp levels, make sure that you have them turned up to a louder level to accommodate for KP2 signal.

Great job! Thanks!

Hey I was curious about what wireless midi you use for your rig? I have a Manson and would to go wireless but haven’t found something that works!
This is the WIDI by CME. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued for years now... It's actually the same system that was used on The 2nd Law tour back in the day.
I bought one for someone I loved. Of course, it was overlooked (C stat guitarist? Really? She didn't have one) I'd already pushed my kindness too far. I gave her one lil thing to do, so it could be justified in the 3D world & she failed. (We have the same birthday. It's not too much to say happy birthday on our birthday!) I met her. She's east coast. Guess what Italian, NY guy! I'm learning how to play guitar on this same model. No one in my town in the local music scene has one of these..which is hilarious, bc I've been shooting for them for about 15 years. I did buy a Marshall Code 50 from a local musician. I have to learn all of it and I am super excited! Thank you for being available with your amazing knowledge!
If u ever consider selling this guitar.. I hope u will think of me 😅💙
Aww haha
You give a great detailed look at everything that goes into producing Matt's live sound (and obviously what goes into you replicating it) I love the HAARP rendition, and you nailed it! Also, 100% sure we were 2 feet apart at that NYC iHeart Radio 200-person set in 2015.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that! Haarp is the best, watching that CD as a kid made me want to be a musician. And NO WAY! Thats' crazy, what an awesome night that was too! Message me on insta!
WOOOW.. you play very slopy but it has strange charm in it.. i really impressed
This is a tight cover dude 🤘🏻
Guitars like this usually outlive the electronics designed into them. There will eventually be used ones with broken touchscreens that are no longer available.
u r amazing!!!!! what is the name of the thing you wear on your finger while playing the intro? i'm trying to find it for 1 hour
Thank you so much!! I'm happy that you like this cover. And that is called a slide! They're typically made of glass, mine is made of chrome. Try searching guitar slide, they're not expensive at all!
Just seen this; great review Michael, thank-you!
Thank you for watching, friends! Always a pleasure to represent you! 🤘🏻
This is amazing bro🤟
Thank you so much!!
cool!!
Love it! More Bring Me The Horizon pleeaaase
That could be arranged!
Super massive video! Wonder about program change of the pad. So the midi out from your guitar goes to the midi control board? And from there another cable to the kaoss pad? Containing both program change from the board and the XY info from guitar pad? Is that how you connected?
If you check out my full rig video, you'll see a better visual. But what I do is, the Kaoss Pad first sends to a MIDI Merger box so I can split the signal in order to receive commands from 2 devices. Input 1 receives from the guitar MIDI screen, and input 2 receives from the Mastermind GT.
Thanks. Your channel is really helpful.
@@goranlindholm7310 You're most welcome, thanks for watching too!
do you know which cable jack matt bellamy is using
What effect pedal u use?
I use Axe Fx III as my pre-amp and cab, and its the main hub of effects. And then I have a few stomps. I recommend watching my rig rundown video for a full overview. You can find it in my channel!
Very great cover !!! Which cable jack do you use ?
Thank you so much! I use the instrument cable output for audio, and then the midi out connects to the MIDI devices in my rig.
@@michaelscarabino Ok thank you, what is the name of the jack ?
i'm wandimuse, and i have subscribed :)
Thank you so much!
Holy shit bro, what a set up you have. Awesome 🤘 Had to edit due to multiple eargasms! Great skills bro 👌
Great review. What's the neck like? Anything you can compare it to? Can't find any shop that stocks them to try it out. I love the wizard 2 neck from ibanez not a fan of big chunky necks thanks
Hey Chris, thank you very much!! If I had to compare the neck another guitar, I'd say that it feels like a Fender Tele, or even an Ibanez as far as grip is concerned. No matter what, very comfy. 🤘🏻
Cool 🚀🚀
Thank you so much!
Great demo and a great guitar. I picked up the Red Santa sustaniac version of the MA Evo just before Christmas. Best guitar i've ever owned. Already planning my second Manson purchase, need one with a midi screen!
Awesome! Congrats on the Santa, I bet it sounds and feels amazing. I definitely recommend getting one with a MIDI screen, you won't regret it!
Great review video, well done my friend !
Thank you so very much! 🤘🏻
That is how this guitar deserves to be played! Thank you for demonstrating the pad so well. I keep watching their website like a hawk for if they will drop a batch in that purple color they teased on IG recently. I'm definitely ordering one.
Oh wow thanks!! It was fun to do this video and I'm haply that you like it Bryn! The purple one looked amazing, I hope you get your hands on one, or one like it!
