Really great explanation. I’ve got a question though: at 8:48 why would C7#11 use the 4th mode of melodic minor? Wouldn’t that have a B natural in it (C, D, Eb, F, G, A, B)?

Serum, Pigments Tutorial plz?

Disliked!

I have Serum but have not spent much time with it. I hope Vital will inspire me more!

This is a beautiful setting.

My head just exploded

This is only a major in jazz sorry

when clicking this i thought no way he can make vital sound like a Hammond Organ... damn was i wrong. you nailed it !!

hi! two questions, at 16:55 i dont understand what the reason setting to saw down vs saw up works. this is probably due to a lack of understanding fully how the mod remap works on my part. and question 2, when you are setting the notes in the pitch at the start of the tutorial, does this make it so that the arp will always be in the key of the notes that you chose as long as the steps in LFO 1 are at least high enough to where you arent actually playing the note that you are pressing on the keyboard. hope that makes sense the way i asked it. edit- i understand the saw down vs up, im still not sure about the key tho.. also the difference between global snap and transpose snap... i been playing around with it today and im not positive what each does

What in the flying f*** did I just learn???!!??

What is LFO 1 attached to in the first synth?

you're awesome dude thank you

Where do I get the pinched sine wave table?

Absolutely incredible content. Thank you.

The staff/fretboard visualizer at the top is awesome.

Love it. One comment is that you talk completely over the rhythm explanations to the point where I can't hear what you are explaining.

Nice to know I'm already 9 years into a Jazz doctorate, excited for the next 6 years coming up.

Pluck is so weak in vital

Thank you so much! Can we also get the Lead from the song Seavolution in Hotel Transylvania 3?

love the instant Guitar Graph. Super great stuff!

Fabulous! I had to rewind a bit and listen to it 3 times, but i got it in the end lol.

2:52 screenshot is crazy😂I love this channel...

What software is transposing the piano to the fretboard, that’s a fucking game changer

What software are you using? I’ve seen a lot of KZfaqrs use it, and I’d like to see if I can use it for online lessons. Great info, thank you!

use fl can add swing t anytihing quick and easy

I'm going to watch this on LSD to speed run in 15 seconds. I'll still play like a jackass on LSD though

Well done but assimilation is another ball of wax, innit?!

i dont even know what vital is but im excited to learn!

I need to break this down and rewatch it in 3 minute chunks until it sinks in. Amazing job explaining this stuff! Thank you!

2:00 Once you get to this point you realize that there is 12 keys with each having a unique major scale from which you can take the 7 modes. At this point you can already spend your life practising those in various ways. Jazz Theory is endless

Hahahaha what university did the duke attend how do you quantify rhythm soul improvisations 😅

Great Tutorial, Thx a lot!

Lydian is not "a major scale" there are 12 major scales and none of them are lydian

amazing

❤GREAT video! My two cents;study piano&drums regardless of primary instrument;although melodic,harmonic,& rhythmic permutations are nearly infinite,become familiar with what I like to call the BIG7 scales;Major,Harmonic Major,melodic minor,harmonic minor,diminished,V diminished,& whole tone ❤ I thank Jesus everyday for filling my life with music;I started singing in childhood,playing various instruments at 16,I’m 73 now&shred out everyday!❤

I like that too many times the pianist plays a giant chord and the guitar robot says: Nope, too many notes. That sums up in-studio experience between pianists and guitarists xD

Please, what song is that for the outro???

I hold a PhD in physics and play jazz (Guitar). I was delighted to see the harmonic series as your starting point, Eric. This stems from the solution to the the wave equation for a guitar string that is pinned at two end points (nut and bridge). Similar results are obtained for a closed tube horn when excited by the player's breath/lips. Many music schools have eliminated the fundamental course "The Physics of Music" to make way for new topics in modern jazz. That is a big mistake because the physics of sound production is at the heart of harmony ( e.g. Pythagoras and his single string guitar = musical "Big Bang") . I am sometimes called upon to give a ZOOM lecture on this topic - the first Giant Step to understanding musical instruments. It is not that hard when explained intuitively and it gives the solid foundation for further learning in music, including jazz chords and improvisation. Thank You!

I cant believe no one liked this before me. Idk if its a glitch or not, but still.

Hi Erik, i just downloaded the presets. Most of them are very usable and very good. I encounter a problem with some of them, i think it is because of my setup. I use linux Manjaro and the vital synth is an AppImage, so just a 1 file run program. When i open --Modern Super Saw2 everything is OK, But if i open --Modern Super Saw vital crashes. Not a big deal on this preset, but as an example. Maybe can you tell me the main difference between the two so i can find out what the problem is with my setup. Thank you for your effort. Jean

The greatest music teacher you will ever have is SOUND.

Thanks for this vid. I have a question. I play bass. I was playing a song that called for a D2 leading to Amaj7, but when the pianist played D2 I played a low E. It sounded great. But what is the theory behind why it sounded great?

hi i dunno if you will see this as it is an old video, but i have a question. When you are setting up the macro for the FM part, is that just so that it can be controlled with a midi controller or is there another reason that I am not wrapping my head around. (i could just be missing something obvious as there is ALOT to this synth) also i wanna say I have been using your videos to learn Vital for a couple months and really wanna say thank you! I have bought some of your preset packs as a way to support the work you do ( my fav prob being the rhodes which i got in the sounds you know pack (i think it was that one, i bought a few). even tho i try not to use presets because i wanna learn to do it myself, i really appreciate the work you put out here for us. thanks in advance if you see my question and are able to answer!

i'm eating pad thai and you high jacked my brain for taco bell

Instructions unclear, I’ve turned into a Bee

Great stuff!

Can you make a the weeknd bass sound

Uhm... I followed along and attempted to do the subtlety with LFO 2 and... It appears Point Cycle doesn't exist????

Can you do this in serum?

It might be my individual experience but I was taught all this information on an undergraduate level degree. This covers jazz harmony 1 - 4 of the Berklee classes I think. The time and money would've been better spent practicing, performing and having a mentor. Although, this is a great video to have an overview of what one will see in jazz harmony classes.
