- Keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater explains how he gets his signature lead sound using the Korg Kronos. Lots of useful programming info here, no matter what synth you own!
Not my favourite keyboard sound ever, but definitely very distinctive. You know it's Dream Theater when you hear it.
This is so awesome! You take expressive synth to a whole nee level man
You can find that sound on Korg keyboards ready with the exact same effects. For example, for Korg Krome, it's the "Rock Lead" IIRC. So it's not a custom sound 😄
Do you know if you can get it for the korg rks2? Would be a dream :)
Didn't explain anything really, just what the controls do. It would've been more interesting to see what waveforms he uses, effects, and how exactly he sets up the button to change the harmonics.
I can't afford a Kronos, a Kurzweil nor a OASYS, that's why I have a Wavestation EX (joystick and complex wave sequences) and a JP8000 (semi analog waves and a ribbon) so I can create almost similar sounds and control them in real-time
Not the same quality but at least 80%, if one is familiar with lead sounds and forms.
It's all a matter of working the sounds and programming skills, if you want sounds like these you gotta spend hours experimenting, that's what I love in the synth universe.
Dude thats insane! I would have fun for hours playing around with that!
I really love that tone
I want to have and play with that so incredible sound!!
I think I should buy a Kronos keyboard...
1:54 I died
wooooo , amazing !!!! I'm, speechless !!!! what a professional I just realized your'e the pianist from Dream Theatre !!!!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥I have always wondered how he got the harmonic feedback sound. It's fuckin awesome. I love his playing and phrasing, he's phenomenal really. SO expressive, and guitar-like, thank you for explaining. ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS wanted to know. Very very cool.
** looks at his 2 wheels, switches too far away from them, and no ribbon ** ...damn, I wish I at least had a joystick!
Breathless!!
The first comments on this video saying Rudess only plays fast, and has no feeling are absolutely absurd... I've never heard a keyboard player play with more feeling and more technicality in playing than him. When your doing a technical demo and your doing muscle memory scale runs its very hard to show emotion...
If you're not a Rudess fan because he plays fast when he's soloing then i certainly hope you're not a fan of Yngwie Malmsteen who only plays fast, and when he tries to play slow he feels awkward and it sounds horrid so he switches to doing trills instead of bends just to have his fingers moving. Not to mention the copy and pasting songs since the 80's lol Went off topic but the point was made.
Jordan is one of the best. But Keith Emerson is absolutely the top. If you think Rudess has best feeling and technique that you ever heard, try listining to Emerson ^^ Im not saying it to prove that Rudess is lame, cause he is not! He is one of the best, as I said.
***** As well as THE Emerson and THE Rudess (^^) he is one of the gods. Absolutely. Anyway in my humble opinion, Emerson is a total genius and visionery. His compositions are so unique, that a few would even try to compare with.
Szymon Nowak Emerson is the greatest keyboardist because he was also the greatest pioneer, and was Jordans biggest inspiration. Emerson was also the most gifted composer in progressive rock history.
Evan Levenseller I completely agree
Sadly there are narrow minded people among the comments, and clearly this was just two minutes of his abilities, the idiots and naysayers have no comprehension of the breadth of Rudess's abilities and talents. So when these idiots in the comments type things, the world gets to see their idiocy.
Last night, Darth Vader came down from the planet Vulcan and said that if I didn’t take Lorraine to the dance, that he’d melt my brain.
Exactly what I thought of, such a killer player with tones and sounds to match. Sadly there are narrow minded people among the comments
Great!
How to make jordan's guitar like sound on yamaha reface cs?
Wow!!
I don't think Rudess has a "lack of feel" in his playing at all. I really feel he has a lot of talent. As a personal preference, though, I liked that classical sound that Kevin Moore brought to the band. In the days when he was their keyboardist, DT's sound had a lot of classical music root to it, and I think that's probably why I like their earlier days the most.. though I really loved the newest one almost more than the original two LaBrie albums hah
Jordan was in a classical piano school
Ok. I have everything programmed...except the feedback tones...this is where I'm struggling and I hope there's someone who could help with this, specifically, finding the sound responsible for the feedback tones, and then programming them to the upward and downward motions of the joystick.
Thunder sir can u share his infamous lead patch as u made except the h
Feedback to es I'm madly dying for it
All of you who are complaining about his "lack" of feel or whatever, you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Listen to more of someone's music before making such abrupt criticisms.
BEARD!
I love this guy. I thought Tuomas Holopainen was great, this guy is B4U5 when it comes to keyboard. Don't get me wrong, I love them both, just Rudess a tad bit more.
Hey, Jordan, how you preset that keyboard? I only want to know.
hola donde consigo ese sonido saludos desde uruguay
is it possible to set pitch bend the way he set up on Rolands or Yamahas?
Now do the Snarling pork loin!
Sir how to make this sound
Can we do the trick with roland keyboard?
does anyone know the patch?
can i do this tricks in korg kross 2 ?
Sir what are the tones used here
what is the scale that he’s using to improvise in this demo?!
He plays with korg, how I can play with yamaha?
LOLZ at the uploader's comment (Lots of Programming Info)...do you know what programming is?
Hahahaha amazing
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck it man you just blew my mind!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Seriously. Is there anything he can't do?!!
Damn, that keyboard sounded more like a guitar on meth
It sounds like are Eddy Van Halen (RIP) has just breezed in!
Sounds like a guitar ...
0:27
Get the camera out of my face and onto the fucking keyboard!
Are these comments for real?
listening to this guy play, is like listening to a 15 year old playing his first guitar in the back corner of a music store before the staff comes and turns off the amp.
more like a stupid gerbil. Tell Richard Gere we say hello
So, to have cool lead must have kronos.. thats all.....
This is Derek Sherinian's tone haha...
AJD OLD CHANNEL ARCHIVE isn't Derek tone.. Derek's lead the "monster" got clear distortion, synth layer, a doubled layer {1 mono and 1 poly}and what wha very clear.. Different sound
John Petrucci is losing his job haha (just a joke)
I never understood why someone would waste their time going for electric guitar sounds on a synth this is why we have guitars I got into the synth to stretch out beyond the sounds of other instruments I wouldn't like a synth if it was just designed to sound like natural instruments like horns flutes guitars and pianos that was the original idea although I think the synth would go much farther if people created sounds that showcased the synthesizer as an instrument in its own right I think it's totally ridiculous that anybody should spend their time learning guitar only to sound like other players they should develop their own unique voice this is what I'm saying about the synth everybody's doing everything on the synth but synth sounds the whole concept of a synth is an innovation Jordan and Derek might be technically impressive artists but Berkeley grads are a dime a dozen Eddie Van Halen took the guitar and made it sound like things Beyond other instruments we know of the synth world is starving for innovative players the synth has so much to offer leave guitar solos to guitarists leave piano parts for pianists leave singing parts for singers you idiots be able to tell people you really play synthesizer music has become a mimic world not only in the pop scene I play the synthesizer to get unworldly sounds it's like a guy going to Berkeley College and coming out sounding exactly like Eric Johnson very unimpressive musician should have their own voices and so should their instruments it's like waiting for a great president to come along and fix this country same thing applies with music we need new people with new ideas give synths artists people to look forward to not hey I can shred like a guitarist on the synth
*Berklee. Also, hey, nice sermon. Here, have a cookie. The answer to your drivel is that people are going to do what they want and what they like not bow down and try to fulfill your criteria of evaluation on how "innovative" they can be.
@@SanjayAnandMenon nailed it
If only he would play something meaningful in his leads.
your comment proves that you can't comprehend what meaningful means, please do not reproduce.
Dont f*cking care about that joystick, just give the damn combination sound, the setting and effect will ya???
i get bored when i see this guy explaining his sounds
So why did you jusk click the video? Don’t be an idiot
Horrible
ఆ ఆi love u girl.
