"INSTANT MEDIOCRE JAZZ" I'm dead 😂😂😂😂😂
after he said that I felt bad for enjoying it lol
@@pet_maquette_ dont feel bad you both nailed the gist of jazzing
I love the Lumatone's programmable isomorphic keyboard. Hexagons are the bestagons!
Something I'd like to recommend everyone try is the Wicki-Hayden layout, which has whole tones going across on the shallow diagonals like Bosanquet, but has perfect fifths on the / diagonals like the Harmonic Table layout. This means that the \ axis has perfect fourths, and it turns each key signature into a solid block of the keyboard. It's super intuitive to learn, and makes a really nice compromise between harmony and melody. I haven't yet had the chance to have too many people over to see my Lumatone, but it's always fun to see the look on someone's face when they're not a musician and touch the keyboard in that layout, since they're almost bound to play something that sounds nice -- you have to stretch a little to get out of key. Since the octave is pretty much vertical, it makes arpeggios even easier than the Harmonic Table. It also generalizes to larger EDOs like Bosanquet does (where the Harmonic Table tends to make the octaves get spread out quite far) -- it works especially well with anything meantone, like 19, 31, or 43edo. Chromaticism is a little bit less obvious than Bosanquet, but with a little bit of practice, it's no problem either.
I was extremely fortunate to have met Herbie Hancock a few years ago when he visited my place of work during a tour (I served him coffee too!!!). He unexpectedly steered the conversation to virtual reality musical interfaces and ambisonic synthesizers, so I can imagine almost without a doubt he'd be into the Lumatone!
He would ABSOLUTELY be into it! 😱🤯
"instant mediocre jazz".
lol. that works for me ! : )
So excited to see more!!!
Do you think you'll be buying one any time soon? (Asking as I'd like to see what you'd do with it)
@@amj.composer I’m considering it, but probably not anytime soon… I at least need to arrange the EB etudes first…
@@stephenweigel I ordered one a week ago lol
@@amj.composer edit - I’ve got one now.
@@stephenweigel Congratulations! It was only about time you'd get one!!! Now do some crazy stuff
Finally, an instrument that makes the piano look cool
Great introduction… looking forward to more!
i gotta see a Lumatone Keytar soon
I usually really don’t like controllers like this but….
…. I really want to try this.
It’s like a rainbow, lite brite, Commodore 64 mind blower
definitely next level- I kind of think that possibly the diagonal aspect is confusing would prefer horizontal + vertical playing I think- more like the Janko
Now that I understand the principle of an isomorphic layout, and that every chord shape or interval pattern is always the same....this is the cheat code! I can learn the common chord shapes (major, minor, 7th, diminished, augmented, etc) in a SINGLE good lesson on the Lumatone keyboard, while learning all those shapes in every key on a conventional keyboard is MONTHS of lessons and practice!
Now if only it didn't cost 3 grand to get one....
Just purchased a Lumatone! Can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you for all the guidance and inspiration. I'm going to go back and re-watch all these videos.
Great idea! Loved the vid, and looking forward to more!
I hope Thom Yorke has gotten his hands on one of these. I can’t even imagine what he’d come up with.
Really friendly guy and a great presenter
He is a lovely human indeed!
He looks like a monster.
Been waiting for a series that taught how to use this ~ I own a Roli Seaboard, the size under the grand that came with a hard case, and well, it sits in its beautiful case because... I don't know how to really use it. I wasn't going to make that same mistake again with Lumatone, albeit it is an entirely different concept, totally different. So... I am subscribed. Loved the overview and waiting to learn more.Teach on...
That first setup reminds me of a button accordion a lot.
Ohhhh, the possibilities... Primal urge to retake up piano emerging
amazing!
I didn´t know that Asmongold also makes music. Multi talent. But where did he get those hair?
Every episode I can’t tell if this guy is real or playing an SNL character.
70s prog rock bands would do wonders with this stuff.
This video was amazing 😂
Hi! ValkyRiver here! I have been learning this by myself using A-based Bosanquet layouts for several equal temperaments.
Very cool Valky, happy to hear you're getting along with the Bosanquet layout, definitely the most popular when working with different ET tunings. Looking forward to hearing and seeing what you create.
@@lumatone I didn’t use any preset bosanquet layouts, since they had C as the middle of the leftmost keys where I preferred A.
@@ValkyRiver That's the magic of the whole thing, it really is all up to you ain't it. :)
The button accordion works in a similar way.
Where can I find David James’ music?
Bro he seemed high by the end of the video when he mentioned super majors, it's just that crazy to think about the possibilities 😂 totally understand hahah
That’s so much better than classic piano keyboard to learn music.
We definitely feel the same way. It's amazing ot watch KIDS encounter one for the first time. The brain just automatically latches on so quickly.
Until your put in front of a real keyboard and then your knackered.
Nice eye candy though I suppose.
@@maydaygoingdown5602 why would you need a "real keyboard" though, if you buy this one? It's a bit silly to hold to a keyboard designed in 17-th century, dictated by mechanical limitations, without any thought put in simplicity and ergonomics, when we have 21-st century.
@@innerbytes lol, like I said, nice eye candy.
P.S...pianos aren't dictated by and dependant on electricity:).
Can't beat those ivorys for classical...even today:).
@@maydaygoingdown5602 There is no such thing as a real keyboard.
Looks great, but I am blind color so this is going to be very challenging for me.
I too am somewhat colour blind (red/green confusion). Those key colours just look crappy to me. Even when it's supposed to be just two colours - normally it'd be black and white - it's a bluish white and a whitish blue!
Chaque époque a connu ses échecs technologiques et ses Arnaques ..
Martin Molin needs one of these
incredible host.
Hi ! Can you program it as you want to do some Just intonation or are you stucked with equal temperaments ?
recently? wow. you seem to've familiarised yourself pretty well within a year
Jacob Collier needs to get his grubbly lil mits on this bad boy.
That wig is sooooo obvious!!!!
@02:34 -- "Instant mediocre jazz!" -- win.
Does this have anything to offer a classical or jazz trained musician with a grasp of music theory and a virtuoso technique? I have seen the upside of learning the Roli Seaboard for the individual pitch bending and filters weeping and
m.ruclips.net/video/IlZv13YZzSM/видео.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
what if you don't have any music theory and don't play any instruments yet with actual skill or theory knowledge?
Then you don’t need to get this, you need to study!! That invaluable information is much more important than a 4000 dollar shortcut
Start with learning some keyboard basics first and then study some midis then come back and decide how you feel about it
I play harmonic flute. No holes or keys. In touch with tuning not the equal distempered 12, 31, or any messy math divisions. This keyboard should be able to do meantone with real sevenths in all keys. Hard to see at end-view the "show it once very clearly slowly" shot that should be timed with the narration for each scale. It's a big field of lights but the multi-camera editing should cut to close-up at each fingering.
Like a slide whistle? I play slide trombone
when he showed those 5 steps from C to D, i felt like something broke really bad inside my head.
😆
I’m already sold. Too bad it’s 4000 dollars lol. May be quite a while till I can afford it.
instant mediocre jazz get me going
Pew this background music tight around the played snippets is anoying
"on top of that it has polyphonic aftertouch" hajdhbdhzjgshsgdvduhdhdududucbisksbdudbsiokanwbsifbdj that's what poly aftertouch is!!!
The sub count is the price
alienware
Jesus Loves You Sir! i just found this radomly on youtube 🙏 very cool indeed!
damn, i really need the crypto gods to pump these markets so i can get myself one of these and jam a little.
Also i die a little inside every time i get slammed with the numbers and octaves and letters. like wouldn't it be just easier if we checked out what sound each key does and then riff until something sounds cool?
I see someone couldn't get their hands on a lippens or janko and needed midi capabilities. I have felt your pain haha.
Is the guy in the video wearing a wig or is it just me?
See episode 12, Dave directly addresses all of your deep concerns about his “wig”
He looks like a monster. the wig only adds to the creepiness.
but, will this run DOOM?
"Instant mediocre jazz..." ha ha ha ha
Oof, $4,000? Does Casio make a poor man's version 😂?
God damn! It’s 4000 dollars?
China, sell me a ripoff!
Terrible background music, totally annoying.
So, it’s not an “instrument” … It’s only a MIDI controller …
It’s THE midi controller
@@msjay3489 It looks interesting, but also a whole new system to learn for established/aspiring keys players … 😏 Osmose would obviously be better for them. I’m sure everyone likes the pretty flashing lights, tho’ … but maybe not enough to pay $4k+ with no sounds …
Your wig is distracting :/
Please take out the background music. It ruins your work here.
cocktail lounge dribble chords for numpties. BUT no real music. Non of the expensive gimmicks ($4000) is actually used by real musicians to produce rhythmic melodies - notice that?
This is obviously a joke
I hate it.
Easy mediocre Debussy music XD
WTF is up with that wig Dave?

Is that a wig?
@09:15 OK, l guess not.
