Matt says this beautiful Vibanet make’s him bring the Funk out, whereas I think that it’s Matt who brings the Funk in, whatever instrument he happens to play!

3:40 holy shit. This things is way more versatile than I ever expected. The chorus helped obviously

I remember getting turned onto Jamiroquai when I was about 15 by my foreign exchange student from Holland. He told me “man you like funk? You have to check this out.” .... been a fan ever since. Love it!

7:24 Stillness in time 👍

OMG! Matt "Funk" Johnson...from Orion Constellation....marvelous..precious. Thanks. Be Blessed.

Amazing instrument, great player, sweet jacket...

Matt "Vintage Soul" Johnson 🎹

great video, great tone, great playing, really top work!

This is how I like to start a saturday morning! I'm a big fan. Tempest sounds great with the Vibanet, the whole jam was delightful.

Chord structures you come up with are from another world. AWSOME, AWSOME, AWSOME !!! 👊👊

Never heard aboud the Vibanet🤔 Sounds amazing, love your groovy playing👍

ok, that keyboard is nice and all. but i'm here for this playing. damn!

Jesus let there be some of those sounds on the new Jamiroquai album. This thing sounds soooo good. Awesome job Matt!

It's a beautiful work of art

Omg that stillness in time riff

👍👍👍😍😍😍😍 nice music. One of the best musicans!!!!!

Unreal... Never heard of that one before... Thanks for the learning 👍

Love this sooo much, such awesome playing, the Vibanet is so versatile as well, also love just before the “stillness in time” is that a slow groove of “virtual insanity” there’s so many great grooves here, damm I love funk! Thanks 🙏🏼 Matt awesome 😎 I can’t stop listening to this, but I’m gonna fire up the Kronos and call up a clav it won’t touch this but I can dream ...🎹🎶

This is so amazing

Someting about the marriage of the clav's sound and that action!! Even the best sampled clav sound on any other keyboard just doesn't cut it. The Clavinet's sound require's that light responsive action. Pure funk. Great hearing you bring it all to life.

The kind of sound that I can stay all day!

Very inspiring video. Funky as...

My first time seeing this!!!!! Man this is awesome!!!

For a moment there I was expecting Huggy Bear to enter the studio :)

How the Vibanet BREATHES in your hands!!! This thing is really alive!! Congrats!!! We love your art!!!

thanks for sharing your music experience ....

Great sounding keys but, also your best video, so far. Nice work and thank you

Sounds amazing Matt, very authentic - super funky!!! 😎🎹🎶👍🍻

3:41 Quite "All About Eve' sounding really......... 4:10 Not so much........ !!! :-) Thanks as always Matt - it's a joy to see and hear these classic instruments put through their paces by a true pro. Please keep the videos coming.

When you pick up the mic, pass my jaw back please. Rockin mini literal. So generous. I'll be Sharing and revisiting. Keepin it alive

Always loved the clav this is fab! And great playing as ever!!

There is so much to learn about funk keybord technique from this video! Thanks for sharing.

One of the best vids I’ve seen on your channel. Great playing and you and that instrument were magical. Cheers!

thanks Matt !!! GREAT PLAYING & GREAT DEMO OF THIS SUPER MEGA FUNKY KEYBOARD !!!

You are definitely THE PERSON on the planet to give that Vibanet a proper demo! It is cool that Stevie Wonder played your model!

It sounds so great, and you make it also sound , great skills your are

Such a great player, this brings me so much joy!

Also beautiful work on the Tempest

Such great sounds and inspiring player.Magic.

So good that it hurt's🎶🎹😍

lovely playing! sometimes i feel like my my ear gets tired of clav, but not with this video at all!!!! rewatching instantly

What a machine, such cool funky sounds and played impeccably as always.

Yes! In proper hands and soul this Clavinet sounds awesome! :) Was a real pleasure to listen all these pieces! Thanx, Matt!

You are SO inspiring! So glad you are sharing your talents and access to these instruments with us :)

I like the megadose of vitamin wah at the end

Matt,... you certainly have more than your fair share of funk in your soul!!! 😎 I’d give my right arm to be able to play like you,... 😳 Cheers 🍻

That smile at 11:20...priceless!

Wow! And the vibes not bad either. Cheers for another blessed video. X

Very Impressive! I'm posting this on my Keyboard group page!

Great sounds. Works really well with the Tempest too. Matt is such a good keyboard player. Really gets into it. More please.

You sir are a funky treasure, have extremely enjoyed finding this channel! Thank you!

This is just stunning

Great sound !

Seriously amazing! your are a master

Another one of these instruments that I wanna buy after seen you play it. And then I realize I’d just rather listen to you play it.

Space Echo...Tempest....Vibanet...what a great studio!

Love the smile when he played "Higher Ground".

I've contacted Vintage Vibe a few times about the Vibanet, but no response. I'd love to order one. Hopefully they start up again with these.

Those knobs look EXACTLY like on my old Ampeg guitar amps (VT-22 and V2). Both Ampeg and VV are New Jersey companies. I imagine this can't be just a coincidence.

funky as heck

Clavinet is my latest tripping joy, happened to see Dr. MIX Claudio play with one, when put through a tape delay it sounds like a exospace atmospheric canvas.. Surreal.. What an instrument

Yes... I will have large order of funk with and extra order of wah-wah please. Thank you Matt.... always enjoy your insights. The Vibanet is such a versatile instrument. 😎

Sounds so funky! I detected Bill Withers, Daft Punk and Jamiroquai songs!

All these sounds are fantastic! Hope to hear something special with Jamiroquai for the next work!

I'm thinking to get one of vintage vibe too, or Crumar seven. Thanks for the demo Matt! Fantastic playing ;-)

Oh, that lovely turnaround at 4:56.

Did you study classically at first? Im learning piano but i love all these other keyboard instruments for their sound and tone. This is amazing!👍

this is sinfully funky

wondering about the "tuning issues" .. if at all, it just added some analog spice :) amazing video, amazing playing! oh and this jacket is also amazing. i want it ;D

Matt, in my opinion good instruments do not have to be blessed by famous people to be worth their salt but if so; this one is already more then blessed by being played by you. :-)

Absolutely passed with You! VibaMatt...

Awesome sounds!

Jesus, Johnson, I have a family to feed here!

Wonderful Player!

Been a long time since a video funked my head up quite like this one :D

I really love the sound variation you can get from this kind of instrument. It's got more soul than soul, it's ridiculous. Of course synths can 'do more' but like a guitar or saxophone or any number of acoustic/electro-acoustic instruments there's just a magic behind actual physical objects creating the sounds.

Duuuuuuuude! Great playing as usual.

Ok!! This is awesome!!

It's great to get such cool videos from a real funky pro tickler ... Thanks Matt

Right on man thats the true funk Absolutely mind blowing Is that a Jupiter 8 in the back ground thanks again sir

You Sir, have funk in your blood. Cheers.

Cheers Matt, inspiring stuff, just what I need while the shed/studio defrosts this morning. Not a huge student of the Clav but that sounds as good as I've heard. Nice one! :)

Awesome playing! Congratulation. You should make tutorials about how to play such funky stuffs.

Love the funk, Matt!

This one really brings the chords out

Love your clav playing! Super inspirational (and simultaneously demoralizing!?). Hopefully one day I'll get half way as good as you. I don't have a clav, but I do have Soniccouture's awesome clav VST, which I prefer over the Scarbee one I had used before. Anyone who doesn't have the bucks or the space for a real clav, I encourage ya to check out the soniccouture.

Always great Matt ❤💯🙏

I could watch you improvising all day : ) That’s one fine instrument you’ve got there, are you using a wah pedal or is there an envelope follower? Cheers !!

Well done, thank you for this.

1st. Great sounding, great playing as always.

Great sound!!!!👍💣

The thing about a clav that people who haven't played one don't realize is the feel. You won't get that on a Nord or on a non-Pratt-Read keybed. The Clavinet key travel is short, followed by the rubber plunger which hammers the string. This creates a feeling that makes bouncy, staccato lines really fun. It IS a funk machine. The question is: What amp do you run it through?

Pure class!

It sounds so full unlike some rather tinny clav samples I've played in the past

Geweldiggg!

Uuuh - what heavenly sounds! Nice rendition of Two of us! What is the signal chain from clav to DAW?

Lovely

Thanks matt you give me total inspiration fantastic your a genius Just trying a bit of hammond at the moment but it might sound a bit to soul like love it though thankyou sir

THIS IS SICK!!!

Eyeing that Jupiter 8 in the corner the whole episode
