A Great Musician. A Great Influencer. A Great Human Being - One & only YANNI ❤️
One & only YANNI ❣️
❤️❤️
I'll admit I'm not a fan, but I also admit there's alot he can teach me for my prog rock set-up and techniques.
His skill and talent are undeniable, also just his programming knowledge in how to patch everything together to trigger sound from multiple sources at once will always be at the cutting edge of modern synth/electronic music.
His breakthroughs can be found in every genre that uses synths
🥰🥰
I truly agree
Here is a man who loves his music and loves to share his art with the world and we thank him for it.
Have a great time in your concert tonight in McAllen, TX
There's so many keyboards...but only one Yanni.....♥️♥️♥️
Να είσαι πάντα καλά, υγιής και να μας δίνεις πάντα επιτυχίες.
I love these behind the scenes videos.
It gives so much information as to WHY I love this music so much.
I didn't know it was 5 keyboards at once. It's why Yanni's sound is so distinct.
He is truly a master musician at knowing the technical aspects of his instruments as well as the creativity of a brilliant composer.
I believe he's using MIDI. He's also using an array of Korg Krome 88s. You can buy a Korg Kronos 2 88 and you'll be able to do a lot more with less keyboards. Only thing is that you will have to pony up about $2,500 Dollars for a refurbished one and or pre-owned.
I'd recommend sticking to the 2 88. It's the upgrade from the X and V2.
The first time I heard you, I was completely hooked with you as an artist and composer. Your heart is very big and the interaction with the people who love you all over the world. Which is the reason I have so much respect for you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It's a honor to have you teach here with all your fame and busy schedules. Your training classes would Redefine music in totality; we would be having your rebirth in them, like a clone. Permit me to say that some of your students would influence the totality of music in the world. Thank you sir, my family and i, friends and many that I know love your music. You are a living legend of our time. Thank you sir.
Lindooooo...❤❤❤

Grew up loving synths in the 80s, 90s and 00s... bred to think Yanni was ultra-cheesy. Was fun to poke at a New Age artist who's kind of a heart-throb with a big mustache who puts himself on almost every album cover.
How things have changed! Yanni, you are a badass & this master class series is an amazing glimpse into your world. You have a new fan.
He was never cheesy. I've liked this music since 1987 when a friend of mine introduced me to it by letting me borrow her _Out of Silence_ cassette tape. I would get annoyed with people when music would come up and I'd mention Yanni. Either they didn't know who he was or they assumed he only played a grand piano, probably because of all of his appearances of daytime shows in which, yeah, he did play a piano. His majestic, high-energy pieces were completely unknown to most people, unfortunately. "Street Level" is one of my favorites. I was hoping to hear it when I was at a concert in the 90s (Dare to Dream tour), but it wasn't played. I don't know if it's ever been played live.
A joyful spirit and why not? He's living his life doing what he loves - and it shows. Love the video. Now I need to learn more about these synths.
You are a living legend sir. Look forward to hear more and more
It's very interesting how Yanni's keyboards are synchronized to play simultaneously. What a setup. Standing In Motion and Santorini are my favorite Yanni masterpieces. Yanni is the musician's musician!
Finally!!! A true master, with a class. Thanks Yanni!!! It is always a pleasure hearing you play, and seeing your joy.
My best Musician of all times....God bless you, Yanni. A true performer.
This is why I love Yanni very much....
Clap clap clap. The master himself teaching us some techniques. Bravo Yanni, greetings from Uruguay.
Hearing how you do the keyboard is magnificent. My CDs of Yanni were stolen so I now have to replace them. My favorite is Yanni at the Acropolis..his best of the best......and Yanni, in case you are one day reading this...years ago after I saw your Acropolis on TV...I moved to England for 3 yrs...during that time I had bought a cassette walkman at John Lewis Store in London and I filled out a small card after buying it.....a week later, I got a call from someone in London asking me "Would you like to come to London, give your opinion about Yanni's Acropolis etc".....and I did....I was picked up in a taxi, taken to that little office, fed a sandwich, wine and a candy bar (and paid cash) and enjoyed your video!...then I was asked questions and gave them my real opinions....there was 6 of us..Those questions had to do with your future near visit and they wanted to know which parts of the video music I liked best and why. My basic answer was ROMANCE AND...YOU ALLOWED EACH MUSICIAN TO SHINE.........that it was not all about you...............what a magnificent musician you are. I can't wait to buy your Acropolis again! Keri.
I love this man and his music. Big fan for many years his music gives me chills !
Yano, your are the best and you’re irreplaceable. I pray that you live longer and entertain us. You bring joy to many when they sad, when they are down, when they are sick. Keep doing what you doin.
As a Music Photographer for the past 20 years I've been to numerous shows from every genre you can imagine and I can honestly say that the shows Yanni presents are some of the best!
I feel privileged to have been witness to some of the best musicians assembled and I'm grateful to Yanni for giving all of us the opportunity to experience them!
As a promotions guy I'm in the same boat.
Every genre.
What many people loathe to know is many musicians listen to a ton of different genres outside their own either for pleasure ore ideas.
Yanni is influences many in the way he produces/programs his keys, the computer triggers he's developed for the setup.
The expertise, the reality enjoyment of hearing this man explaining and soul of the music, I do not know what I am talking but I am so happy listening this man.
Please do more videos with your keyboards. We love them!
It's called sequencing through midi...or music cords keyboards hooked in to each other to share sounds...I used to put vocals on one track for my backup singers, my daughter. Lol. I sequenced Gloria Estephans, " The Rhythm is gonna get you". All the parts. The drummer listened through headphones that gave him the beat. I was my own karaoke machine but I did all the sounds. It's WORK! And to watch Yanni play by EAR, like me, no sheet music is great because musicians like us play only from the heart and memory...we must have the memory of an elephant. Yes, Yanni remembered every chord and every sequence change and every keyboard setting change! I watch him in awe! I am a singer. Today, looking at my birth certificate reading hat my parents were listed as musicians way back in the 50s made me proud to be a musician too. It's our bond that death can't steal.
If I have had you as my friend in my early life, or if there was RUclips like thus in the '80s, you would have sparked up the music talent in me. I'm over 50, too much to learn and catchup with at my age. But deepest thanks to you for bringing to memory the world I once wanted to live.
you are the keyboard master Yanni ! I thank God to have heard you 20 years ago for the first time.
first time I discovered yanni I was 15 years old in Syria
now I'm 24 and I'm a big fan of him I really just hope that I can meet him one day and watch him a in live show just for one time in this life
It's all about MIDI. Invented in early 80's and still remains the only interface to make digital instruments "understand" each other. Respect to Yanni. Greetings from Ukraine
Yanni....years ago not only did I play a lot of your music...but I taught it as well to my students...Reflections Of Passion album got me hooked...
Yanni, you are the reason I chose playing keyboards. you are an inspiration to many like me.. your music is heavenly !!!
vikas khandelwal same here man.....a lot of Indian musicians I have met either mentioned ARR or yanni. Although I am great fan of ARR, yanni struck my heart at a very young age
Yanni is a Genius.
Yianni is Greek :) thats explain everything
He needs to do another concert on public television
You mean Laurel
RINGOTVRAW you are owesome
@@jefftd202- OR He needs to do another concert that he will get paid for performing!
Music sound re-defined! Thank you Yanni. Και ελπίζω σύντομα να σας δώ και στην Θεσσαλονίκη!
Yanni is 1 among those few persons who truly hv d ultimate passion for Sounds🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
💯💯Sounds connect Souls💯💯
Your 1994 concert made me cry that I have to go and learn Violin. Now I am good. All thanks to God who introduced me to your music. Thank to you too. Great Man. One question. You said your Grand Piano controlls the keyboards. Is it a Digital Grand Piano?
Wow. There are at least 477 people here who think they are better than yanni. When will you be famous?
Thanks! It's great see your face singing the sounds! you really feel it, sing it and express it.
My favoriiiite maestro Yanniiiii ❤👆😘🫶🌹🌟💪💪👍🤩😇💯👑😍👏👏
YANNI YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND . NOBODY IS LIKE YOU DEAR YANNI. THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS LOVE YOU
Yanni's 7:14 minutes video= something can never be found in bollywood 's current musicians combined..salute🙏
Shut the fuck up
He describes his sound at about 5:40 that is programed for his style of playing, also earlier the movement from the shoulder he has developed speed and velocity for that instrument. I understand his duplication on the synths due to same language and programing controls, LFOs, Envelopes, EQ, Effects, etc to get that layered sound which is full. Developing your sound is critical and its yours. He understands his synths and has mastered them, I'm still working on it.
I know this video is from 2016 but, anyway...I've been following you since I was a little kid, the first performance I saw from you was the tribute album, from 1997. I was literally in love with it, at that time in 2006/2007, I was 4/5 years old..and my mom always said that when I was going to hear it, every time I dressed up all in white, and started pretending I was playing the piano/keyboard like you 😂..such a good times, I'll never forget it. Nowadays I am a saxophonist, I've been playing it since I was 9, and I also play the violin..I'm working very hard to someday be a good musician like you, that's one of my biggest dreams, hope one day I can reach it. So, thank you very much to make me appreciate music and to make me love it :) You are the best !!
I have listened to Yanni's music since I was a young student. Up to date, I still love Yanni's music and Yanni Orchestra!
Is nice to see Yanni showing how does he do his sound. It is a really nice video, thanks :)
This is very, very ,inspiring Yanni ! Very professional and cool at the same time! Wide open and precise ! Thank you !
Yanni can't believe am addressing you..... Thank you! Thank you so much..... Can't thank you enough unless I could do a tribute. I was a child when we saw you on the TV live at the Taj Mahal. Your sound and love raised me up above all else. You are awesome. I need this Master class. Badly. I am learning to play the keyboard and youtube is my only help! I need your help Yanni...... Help me speak music! Thank you so much for the video and God bless you always!
A legend indeed! I love how humble he is, despite being from another universe! Always loved his music 👍
My Inspiration For My Music...Yanni You're In a Class Of Your Own of Brilliant Music. Blessings and Thank You For Inspiring So Many Musicians. Long Live The Timeless Music of Contemporary Instrumental.
Sythe
Yanni: *has 50 keyboards*
Me: *has one keyboard duplicated 50 times in a track stack in my DAW*
But that's why people come from around the world to see Yanni, and the only person that comes to see me is my mom.
Until she abandoned me for Yanni.
Yanni has 20 cars with drivers to carry his keyboards too..
My life before MainStage came around 😑
He is performing live, no time to set up a program and run tests and fix any errors.

Янни! Вы не просто талант! Вы супер талант! И какой завораживающий рассказчик.Насколько вы, просты и обаятельны!💕💕💟💟💟👏👏👏👏👏
Yanni was my hero back in the mid 90's!! I had his tapes and videos back then.
more vids like this please!
Talk about your gear programmning, your MIDI interface, and your controllers
greatest musician I ever heard in my life. I like you so much.
dear sir I'm from India I would like to become your student
whata ya say, Yanni?
love your works love all your songs 🥰
Wow. Never knew how much work goes into making one song. Thanks for sharing.
Hey man very cool, idea here. I'm excited to watch them all. I'll be honest I don't listen to a ton of your music but I've heard enough to respect the amount of time and extra effort you put into providing this information for people like myself. It really opens to door to your creative process and causes my to think differently about the execution of some of my own creative projects
Hello Yanni, you are one of the best inspiration i ever seen, hope you coming to play in Sweden soon... 👍 Best Regards Nec.
I LOVE ALL THE MUSIC COMPOSED BY YANN. BEEN LISTENING OF HIS MUSIC EVERSINCE TILL NOW.
My favorite pianist of all time
Thank you yanni I learned so much because of you🙏🏻
LOVE your Master classes, Yanni.
Thank you for taking the time to show you your expertise of you and all your musicians. I used to play trumpet in high school marching band. We love you, your expert musicians, your songs, your creativity and your vision.
Wow!!! amazing, never even imagined this much you know and have implemented to your keyboards all together. You are the Masters.
It would be cool to see Yanni do an actual programming master class to show everyone how he actually programs an ENTIRE sound patch like his guitar/dulcimer sound patch using his master/slave keyboard setup!
Dear Yanni, is this something you might consider as the subject of one of your future master classes? That would be awesome! I have always wondered how you sampled/programmed that particular sound. I think I read in an article back in the 1990s that you sampled a bouzoki or something like that to layer it in your programming-- any truth to this? That would be awesome to see how you do such a thing-- especially now that you have been able to create that redundancy for all your performance keyboards whether yours or Ming Freeman's-- the duplicity you speak of for productions like yours, I can see how necessary that is to make sure things go smoothly. Did you have a similar arrangement back in the 1990s for your Acropolis concerts and era tours for Bradley Joseph's and Julie Homi's keyboards?
hi there, sorry but I need and advice, I wanna start to play keyboard and do covers from The Killers band and Santorini.., what keyboard do I need to do these covers? I wanna play piano sound and strings at same time but I just want only one keyboard. Thanks.

These are awesome questions. Mote technical and always wondered similar things.
Your style and brilliance make every move you make so enjoyable I really feel like I could learn more from your videos than of the other orchestra members masterclass videos. That's it - you should create a masterclass series of just your keyboard techniques and how you come about creating some of your "signature" sound patches - I would love for you to delve deeper into that type of masterclass video. BTW - thank you very much for these!!! Love your music and your talent. I was able to catch your show recently when you came to Panama City, FL at the Marina Civic Center. One of the highlights of my life for sure!!!
But he said himself in the video that he does program them.
I love the fanfare at 6:10-6:24 Yanni is the best 😍😍
Thank you Yanni we love you. You are the greatest . God bless your music
More MASTER CLASS videos with your keyboards... please :)
Sam Eldin and
Love you Yanni.. thank you for the valuable tip.. NO BASS on the 5th note!
Yanni you are the best and we love your music, greetings from Lebanon
A friend of mine put on the Live at the Acropolis CD, the other night, and It was amazing. Not only is Yanni an incredible musician, so are all of the people that he brings into his band.
As a kid, growing up in the 90s, I was taught (by whomever or whatever) to believe that Yanni wasn't "hip" and now, 20 years later I understand from being a musician for most of my life and listening to a lot of different kinds of music, what's "hip" is playing the music you want to play and doing it with absolute passion.

Awesome video Yanni!
Посмотрел все ваши выступления, какие нашёл на Ютубе.
Очень хотелось бы учиться у вас. Видно по вашему отношению и индивидуальному подходу к каждому, в мастер-класе, что вы добрый и чуткий человек и любите то чем занимаетесь.
How could anyone dislike a Yanni video.
Great stuff Laurel.
This is great! I like the charisma, and the sounds! Unfortunately I can't afford 50 keyboards at this moment in evolution.
Don't worry. At least for what he has shown in this video, 1 of those alone (the Korg Krome) would have done the trick.
I have a Korg M50, and it sounds good. I suppose I could layer 7 of them during the recording process.
That kind of grind my gears. All sounds he is making can be done with one single modern synth. Pick the cheapest one and it will do it. A single Korg Kross or a Roland xps 10.
16 layers on a Kross even.
You do realize that the large number of keyboards is simply to create the simplest, most reliable signal path for a large concert, right?
You only need ONE keyboard in a home midi studio to play anything Yanni or anyone else plays, as you can multitrack it one part at a time...
Keep having a GREAT TIME, Yanni !!! Love the music ! So does my Dad, as my Dad found you first, and shared your music with me.
Υπέροχος! Περιμένουμε να ακούσουμε και κάτι από Βυζαντινή μουσική , πιστεύω ότι θα είναι κάτι μαγικό! Συγχαρητήρια!
My poodle is named after Yanni. I was very taken with Yanni at the Acropolis when I first learned of him! My husband uses keyboards, but I know nothing about them.
Love u boss
When I was 15 I met Yanni's songs, today I'm 40 and Yanni still has the same face 25 years ago. What's the secret of his youth?
I guess he uses the same face cream as Jean-Michel Jarre ;-)
@@reijnoud really true
Quantity has a quality of its own...... Love you Yanni... You are the master of all black-n-white keys🎹🎹🎹
Wow! Love to you Yanni! Glad you explained that. 💜🙏💖
He seems like a cool guy... Thanks.
Yanni! YOU are so ORIGINAL - this is what makes U great! NO one in the world can beat your piano techniques! We shall make a TRIBUTE to U and EP! U will enjoy it , and the world! ETsonggalaxy U.S.A.

Bravo Bravo Yanni you are the World greatest performer and composer Of the world. Your music to my ear is a real therapy ! Thank you for the magnificent Concert that you have performed in Montreal Sunday July 22nd 2018. Luv you. Linda from Montreal ❤️❤️
YANNI GREAT STUFF LOVED THE SOUNDS AND YOUR TALENT!!!!!!
I WISH I COULD DISLIKE THE 250 PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T LIKE IT. SMH
rahim4411 Those 250 people who don’t like it don’t count. What's their claim to fame except a big mouth and a lousy attitude? If anyone ever thought that success in music is all about great chops, then welcome to the real world where attitude can and will often overtake chops. Now you all know why we have ONE great Yanni, and 250 or more NOBODIES with great chops. And Yanni DOES have great chops to add to the mix.
Right...and what you think of a more simple term: 'jealousy'??? In the meantime there are 682 of those. They click on Yanni and after they did so, they 'seem' to find 'something' negative or dissapointing in this warm upload................what is wrong with 'their' minds? Making music professionaly isn't an easy job at all...it takes 'all' you got, 'all' you are, it's your 'life'. 682 don't understand and won't, probably. I'd ask them: "Where are 'your' feelings?"
The best musician of the world and lots of love yanni from INDIA ur biggest fan.(CHETAN)
Yanni, I love your sounds. Thank you. All the best.
Awesome. Shows nothing in life come easy. Takes hardwork, planning and execution
OH MY GOD!
I like how he links them and changes the patch on all of them with the click of a button, must be a custom built footswitch
Hardware vs the vst at its finest explained ,thank you sir .
Dear YANNI, You are a real genius! Your music is absolutely global; it touches the hearts before the ears. It's like an ever-flowing river that sparkles in front of thirsty audiences. Your fellow musicians are also champions of genuine art. Many, many thanks for making us all happy with your masterpieces, sir Yanni Maestro!
