  • In this episode I have the honor to hangout with my friend Aaron from the band LARK. Aaron is showing us two of the most important sounds for worship and how to layer them to feel comfortable on almost any keyboard you are asked to play.
    LARK is a group of incredible musicians that play on a professional level and have many years of experience being a part of worship teams across the US. Thank you for watching. Please SUBSCRIBE to be updated when new content is released.

    Awesome video, and well explained! I have the MX61. One cool trick I've leaned on is to layer the "Trance" pad underneath the piano--but then take that pad and set it to -12 (minus 1 octave). Keep the piano at 0. What this does is give the overall combo a deep rich sound; and when you play the piano notes up high, that pad will be an octave lower, and continue filling in the musical space more than if it were completely matching the high notes of the piano. Just a quick tip! #Blessings! 🎹🎶

    You didn't talk about it but I like velocity cross fade on string pads. What that means is that on the attack you hear mostly or entirely the piano sound, and then the as the piano fades you get more strings. But also the harder you hit the keys, the more piano you get and the less strings, but the softer you play, the more strings you get. You have to have a synth or keyboard that was good sweet strings. Many like the cheap Casios have very buzzy sounding strings that aren't pleasant at all. This keyboard was good, You could get a rich dreamy sounding pad.

    Hello! Using the pad or layering, Is it possible to sustain a single chord all throughout a song which is a string type while playing certain chord progressions for a song? For example, the song is in key of D. I'd like to sustain that chord D with a string which is a monotone all throughout the song.

      @lightbring9701 5 лет назад +1

      It depends. Layering is used a lot because it's combines multiple sounds to create a unique sound or feeling. Split is used when you want different zones of the keyboard to have a different sounds. People often use split as a way to play bass in there left hand while accompanying their selves with some sort of piano in the right.

    I'm still learning this stuff but the problem I'm having is when I use the sustain pedal for the piano sounds, it also sustains the pads and the sound can really hang over and start to sound messy. Sometimes when I play the next chord, the pad is still playing the last one. What am I doing wrong?

If you watch a scary movie...you put scary music behind it so your eyes match your ears and give you a more complete experience. Same thing in church. If the pastor is trying to make a point that is poignant, it's my job to frame his words and the service in a way that will allow the people to hear him the way he wants to present it. So yes, I am controlling the room. And imo it's ok. but lmk what you think.
