It’s not an instrument.

@@James-kb5mx everything is an instrument

At least he prefaced by saying he won’t teach us anything

Yep, but the easy, lazy way... The real path is to go learn an instrument or two :)

If you NEED something like this to get started, then that ain't it chief. That's like saying you haven't written that novel you've always wanted to write cause you don't have a 1000 dollar keyboard. If you START with something like this, you won't get far unless you're some musical prodigy that has an understanding of music without any experience with any instruments or music theory.

​@@churlbreak671Someone may just want to be a hobbyist, without really aiming to master the skill! If so, having a tool that lifts you a huge part of the way as a beginner may be all that matters, even if it wouldn't be helpful if you're aiming for high skill.

@@churlbreak671 A better example would be someone saying they haven't written a novel because they don't have access to a word processing software or to a keyboard to begin with, instead of writing by hand. This *is* an instrument. Just like a guitar or a keyboard has their own use case, this one has its. Just because you can't play chords on a trumpet doesn't make it any less an instrument, and just because you can't play individual notes on this doesn't make it any less an instrument. And what *does* help people get far in music is an inviting open attitude to people who want to learn. *NOT* a gatekeeping and antagonistic attitude that tries (and fails) to dictate who is and isn't able to "get far." Radiohead, one of the biggest bands of the current time, who has, by pretty much any music critic's account, "gotten far" with their music, includes folks who never studied music formally, and the main writer/composer for the group, Thom Yorke, doesn't even know how to read sheet music, let alone have great experience with music theory. It ain't about theory or which instrument you use that makes a good musician. It's about having the ability to learn and grow, and having the willingness to say "this is cool, let me try it." Which, by what it sounds like, is what this instrument is literally made for. To encourage that. Which would, directly, encourage people to become better musicians by helping them learn and grow and develop that willingness. There are countless people who learn an instrument or that learn theory. There are way less people who actually try to be open to new stuff and find that stuff interesting and cool to try, rather than just closing themself off and capping their growth out by stickin' with what they know. Those that do stay open and try new stuff are the ones who make it further than grumpy and closeminded musicians. It's one of the reasons that people like the artist formerly known as Prince who regularly invited other acts to be the spotlight and leading voices did get far and touched more lives and is considered such a great musician.

@@jeremiahtablet Talk about antagonistic attitude, yet here you are assuming my entire existence based on one comment. I'm literally what ur describing my guy. I had no formal training in my developmental years, so much so that as a bachelors of music degree holder, i can't wrap my mind around chords, and yet i managed to garner 1st place in the biggest national competition in my country. But to get there, I had to go through proper training and go through the stages of a beginner before I could confidently say I can tackle a much larger obstacle. I had to play on a crappy upright piano and go through basic training with a teacher. Slowly working my way up and refining my skills till i got to a point where i can play anything i want. The "instrument" in the video is not an instrument. It's a tool. To understand the I - iv - V progression he described in the video, one has to learn what that means. A "can do attitude" can only get you so far. A complete novice who knows nothing about music and refuses to look up some basic terms or experiment on a real piano won't be able to use the tool in the video at all. Not knowing how to read sheet music vs not knowing anything about chords are completely different things. Sheet music refers to notes on a page like quarter notes, half notes, whole notes. Not every great musician needs to know how to read those, but every great musician needs to know how to play chords and how to manipulate chords. And if you want to tell me their COMPOSER didn't know how to use chords then you're talking out of your ass. Before you start mouthing off about things you don't know anything about, take a second and think for a minute. I didn't say "DON'T PURSUE MUSIC IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO PLAY A REAL INSTRUMENT." What I DID say if you NEED this tool to become a great musician, then you're just throwing money into the trash

have you considered starting him with a launch pad, and pre-loading with chords in a major key to start? im a music teacher, i feel like if i was approached with this that would be my first. because if he can hit three keys with both, he can hit three chords with both or one chord with one etc... so he could easily learn chord progressions that way. tbh that might give him a leg up on people who play instruments like keys or guitar because you are skipping the physical learning (mostly just pain lol) and going straight to ear training. awesome he has perfect pitch. i hope he can get this device as well!

@@seroquelchamber Hi! Yeah, I just recently got him an Akai pad but I don’t know the first thing to do to set it up in a way that would help him out. I just plug it in and open up GarageBand. It’s highly dependent on the screen so the visual impairment makes it really difficult. That’s what I like about this thing. It seems like it would be a lot easier to get to where I want.

@@boboso388 that’s so awesome! I hope you can find your kid the right device he needs to let him take his musical development to the next level!

​@@boboso388 so what i would do is plug it from the DAW into a PA or amp, and you would work the visual side while he learns the sounds off the launch pad. youd have to load them yourself, but if you make the launchpad into what is essentially just an instrument for him and let him just focus on the sound. is there a way to have your computer do voice assist with garageband? i have autism (however i am almost 30 lol) so i have sensory proccessing issues which have led me to use DAW+midi or a launchpad in "sensory friendly" ways.... after i set up the DAW i pretty much dont look at it again. its what i do when i am playing live as well

@@applecore101 very simple chords. So simple that he just played the root note while a midi device did the rest of the voicings.

@@mieshacanb6967 the fact is that you spelled it wrong LOL

Ever thought about... you know - trying harder? If you want it so much?

I didn't understand any of the note explanations... It seemed to me that people who already know all the terminology probably don't need the explainer, and people who are unfamiliar with them - and perhaps a little dense - have no frame of reference to understand all this. The graphs flashing by made it even worse. The sounds are nice and getting a feel for the relations between the buttons doesn't seem too daunting, but the clarifications have me looking for a different hobby.

@@ronnetgrazer362 to be fair, what he created here is most likely an expensive instrument that a very beginner would probably not be looking to purchase. Someone brand new to music and recording would probably not even be capable of using the instrument to its full capabilities

@@jetsetbetch Fair enough. I can improvise a second voice but whenever people start talking music theory my eyes just glaze over. Something needs to click but I'm not sure if I will live to see the day.

@@ronnetgrazer362 theres no right way to do it my friend, just make and do whatever and however you like :)

probably while drinking mate.

Sounds to me like a genre defining tool. There is already chord based electronic music like this, that does not take into account how independent voices in a harmony mold into one another melodically. It's certainly cool that someone would create this type of controller for those who want to recreate the aforementioned genre themselves. It's still largely generic with standard modes of operation from the perspective of a producer (no humanisation, slides or custom arpeggiation), so it's not terribly innovative. But it will perhaps make it easier for one person to perform or write accompaniment alone. It's not so hard to make this actual tool using a mixture of free software midi plugins coupled with a free DAW or some sort of midi remote control, no strings attached. You could throw in a midi controller if you feel the need, but as composing tool in 2023, there really isn't any.

Another thing that would help so many people stop fiddling around and create actual music would be for them to learn how to actually play an instrument and learn some basics of music theory. I wish companies would stop developing software and gear that enables people to put together “music” without knowing the first thing about music.

Why does that really matter so much to you? Who cares if someone learns a bunch theory or sits down with an instrument for countless hours? How do you even determine how someone has learned enough theory or practiced enough hours to satisfy your requirements? do you personally investigate every musician and music creating individual you come upon to decide if what they create is indeed good music? I truly can’t wrap my head around this. I’ve played guitar for 15 years and studied plenty of theory and i could care less, if someone who doesn’t know shit about music can make a head moving beat touching piece of music with barely any background that’s fuckin awesome. Music being more accessible to different people of different backgrounds is ALWAYS a good thing. Not everyone everywhere can afford a nice instrument, or to spend hundreds of hours studying theory. People have lives, so only people with nothing to do but make music should be allowed? Stuff like this is perfect for someone who might want to express their self musically but is idk for example working two jobs and taking care of their elderly parents. I just hope a person like that never runs into someone as miserable as you. Good day

@@darwinsaye why?

@@darwinsaye i agree but think there is nothing wrong with having tactile tools to create and inspire. You can learn an instrument and be good at it but if you want to create more you'll need to master a DAW and such and such. Having tools that build chords and such sure makes you overlook the concepts and theory but there is not always a need to be a purist about music. Music is supposed to be fun firstly, not everyone wants to be Chopin or Hans Zimmer.
