The Korg Oasys and Kronos offer the hability to have up to 16 different zones, 16 different sounds all at the same time. That way he can get a really huge combination of sound layers or have the keyboard splitted in a very specific setting. In the case you are asking he did a 2 zone(sound) split: piano in the left hand amd cello in the right.
"This is the most amazing peace of equipment that i can even think about use...I can cook, I can check my e-mails, and its connected to my brain, thats where I keep all my 2500 gb of music i´ve learned trough years and shit like that" xD xD I LO VE U JORDAN FUCKIN RUDESS
He does get free keyboards from Korg, because he is sponsored, thats the whole "point" of being sponsored.. He changed from Kurzweil because Kurzweil keyboards didnt had enough memory , and the OASYS has a lot of memory.
The only thing I would counter that with is that if one of the world's greatest keyboardists decides its the best way to express himself, who am I to argue. The other thing is that in its role as the master controller, I'm not sure how much sound is actually produced by the Oasys. If its good enough for Jordan, its good enough for me.
nah, it0s use in never enough, live versions of raise the knife (as you can see on score) the dark eternal night, and there's more, but i don't remember right now
it's so amazing to see his gear! There's only one thing I don't want to see... ...and that's the price tag! But JR is the best, wierd beard, keybordist in the world today! :D
He is a great player and knows his technology. However, he never answered why he went to the Korg Oasys from the Kurzweil. Every feature that he talked about with the Oasys can be done on the Kurzweil K2600 - except the sliders light up. LOL! You could just get a light over the keyboard. I always wonder if the artist succumbs to an offer from a music equipment company - and they make those offers. Like Michael Jordan wearing Nikes. I guess if someone offered up an Oasys to me, I'd take it, too.
how the heck does he play piano on the left hand and cello on right hand but he didn't look like he pressed anything to put 2 sounds on the same keyboard
how does he changes tones / voices that fast i am newbie so can anyone help i need to know tis and i will be forever great full if you guys can help me out
KonstantinosKeys 32 Keymap/Algorithm combinations (Layers) within a Program. In Setup for zoning (splits and layers) up to 8 programs. Which is very nice even today.
I think Jordan is the coolest musician in the business but... it's the end of the tour and you don't know who sleeps in the bunk across form you? Come on, man.
“My name is John Petrucci” that caught me off guard lol
"it has a touch screen so i can go.... i can touch the..... the screen"
He does a superb job of making everything interesting, he's the man!
Jordan is such a funny man,=D. LONG LIVE DT.
I would love to see/hear Jordan play a Harpsichord instrumental.

Thanks a lot for uploading. These videos never get old! :)
I love his Continuum. Gives some of the coolest sounds in their music.
Most good musicians are a bit quirky... But yea, he's out there.. But Damn, he's good as Hell
thanks very much for posting this. dude's my hero.
This guy defines awesome.
a tip : watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
Gear aside, that beard is badass!
There you have folks: a real musitian allied with technology, creativity and profesionalism.

"and theres a very large screen which is a touch screen, where i can go and... touch the screen"
Nice ... I'd love to see more
yeah that was hilarious xD
like: "well this is my toilet.. i can go.. i can use the .. toilet"
Jordan is just very cool and very innovative!!!
Wow, i've never noticed that, but now that you mention it... he does!
This video was recording on the PALALOTTOMATICA in ROME (Eur Rome)during Octavarium Tour.
ROMAVARIUM DVD
the continuum is just badass.
He does get free keyboards from Korg, because he is sponsored, thats the whole "point" of being sponsored.. He changed from Kurzweil because Kurzweil keyboards didnt had enough memory , and the OASYS has a lot of memory.
I love this guy, i had the opportunity to get a pic with him and he's really cool and friendly, PS:he also autographed my guitar :D
I wanted to see him play something!
At the beginning of the video it's Octavarium (Full Circle chapter).
lol, "one of the thinks of my kur.... korg" xD
very cool vid!.. he should show more about the continuum and his instrument like the one steve howe from "yes" has!
great musician and great comediant xD
Hehe, thats right. Both companies have their unique features.
that continuum(?) looks and sounds cool!

I want a Continuum!
the music pad pro,I want one!!!
good stuff, thanks
That beard is fantastic!
it's so amazing to see his gear! There's only one thing I don't want to see...
...and that's the price tag!
But JR is the best, wierd beard, keybordist in the world today! :D
This is where Jordan sleeps... He crawls in... He refers to himself in the third person... And he is God of all keyboard-dom.
so the continuum gives harmonics when you slide vertically on the screen.
He uses it on the Octavarium intro.
I want that guy in my band.
nice equipment mister petrucci/ruddes
Myung always woke up before 9.30am ?!?!?!?! wow !! i believe he practice in the morning ??? lol
he must be the cutest guy in the band. like a child trying hard to explain things.
yeah.,Kurzweil occupies almost 1/35th of the entire memory of OASYS.
Looking at his beard, that the fact it was like that about 6 years ago, now its a gotee.
This make me want a Haken Continuum so bad now!
"one of the great things about my kurz...korg equipment"
he almost screwed it up there! haha
How do you change keyboard sounds fast with the Korg m3? I'm trying to cover some DT songs but i dont know how he assigns to foot pedals. =/
He is a great player and knows his technology. However, he never answered why he went to the Korg Oasys from the Kurzweil. Every feature that he talked about with the Oasys can be done on the Kurzweil K2600 - except the sliders light up. LOL! You could just get a light over the keyboard.

@KTX234 haha thats almost as awesome as JMX's "there's a bass solo in a song called Metropolis.....where i do a bass solo"
how the heck does he play piano on the left hand and cello on right hand but he didn't look like he pressed anything to put 2 sounds on the same keyboard
i like the red-surface instrument =p

He looks kinda creepy with the mustache and sideburns
one of the great things about my kurz... my korg is

@TheMetalRiffer
Ain't that the truth... I can't stand people like that and I refuse to be around them.
by golly, petrucci really lost his hair :)
1:56...kur(zweil)....korg...
lol, all of them are married... So technically you are both wrong... and right. xD
I think Jordan is the coolest musician in the business but... it's the end of the tour and you don't know who sleeps in the bunk across form you? Come on, man.
