Thank you for the kind words. I'm getting on good with it. I've used it in some songs I've liked enough to put to streaming services and I like the pairing in studio. It might be my favorite out of the box and ready to record quality piece I've got. Tons of options and the sounds are current sounding to me. I've made a few songs and used it to remix some things before a dj gig to decent success. I like the way they play together, but people are right, it's not so awesome as a live rig for gigs. The Key 61 is a studio piece in my opinion. It weighs a lot, and the sounds don't load fast enough for my liking but I'd still stream live with it. You also have to remember where the sounds you like are, or pop them into 256 slots called favorites. There's not great way to search sounds fast. With my other keyboards I could access sounds faster, with less menu diving and that let me get to the song with less wait time. I started setting up song files that were blank but with sounds that I liked together to save time, but even that lead to a load time that would mute my mic while loading if I ran it into the mpc key 61. This was fixed when I ran the mic right into the looper, I liked the idea of vocals being on the mpc but every time I loaded a new project I had to start over with loading effects, or taking them off to use other effects units too. I definitely still love playing with the pairing, but I've been exploring better matches for live sets because that's where a lot of my passion lies. That instant gratification you know.

thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it.

thanks man, I was hoping you'd see it, I made it with you in mind when you gave the idea last week.

Thanks man. I wrote it all as I went. I strum out chords or noodle for a moment until I find something I like and then I hit the "learn button" on the pedal while I play it. Then I sing about whatever someone in the chat suggests, or sometimes what I am thinking about. Fortunately, I've played long enough now that I can get lucky and fit chords together so I can pretend to be good for 5 minutes at a time.

Hah, well your experience is coming through so that's awesome. Idk if I speak for any of your other subs or not but I bet videos teaching how to use your various gadgets would go over well and could maybe be a series. I'd be interested in any case. Anyhow rock on my man!

That's a great idea man, I probably have enough gadgets to keep a series going for a little bit. 😄 I do get asked to do rig rundowns on streams a lot but I never clip any out. I will for sure do one this summer.

🤣 thank you! It matches my camping dad shirt!

Music had me swinging!

thank you!

thanks man glad you liked it

yes, it's sooo good!! My son and I yell blame it on the thunder all the time. He loves it. I just wish there was more.

yeah that's one of the things, is I originally had it recording a loop and then triggering it at the beginning of 4 bars, but it was taking way to long, and sometimes it would freeze the keyboard. I decided to offload the looping to the rc505 to make it easier to work with. It runs smoother and a lot faster to get in and out of a loop record which I was using for vocals.

thank you. Would you suggest a tutorial on how everything is setup or more a direct how to make beats type thing? I made a few demos of how I'd make beats but never anything more than a "follow a long walkthrough."

@@JetpackSuperheroes how you have the MPC Key and RC 505 connected, and how to build an improvised song on the fly, with keys, vocals, guitars, etc.

right on, I can probably get to it a little later in the month. I'm working on a few things but definitely I could make something.

I appreciate both of those bands

thank you I think

thank you

horses always try to establish dominance in music videos, it's why Madonna switched to backup dancers to begin with.

Yes!!! The child can be named Magic Mike. I didnt see the movie but I'm guessing it was an action film.

Absolutely yes!!! I may switch the b word but also might keep it, Ill see that day!!!

It's that sequenced drum pattern from the era. I bet those two songs would make a great mashup. And if they are, the interpretive dance is gonna be amazing. :)

Let me start by saying I'm 100% honored, thank you. You have my full blessing to pop this music on to anything and everything you'd like. Especially tank videos!!! If there's ever any weird copyright problems that pop up let me know and I'll send emails to fix it. Good luck and keep going, your videos are awesome.

Thank you, it was from a live stream. I could cut it out and put it out next December for sure. Thank you for watching and for the kind words.

thanks man

Thank you!!! I bought it and loved the color, super bright yellow. The first stream I had it, I was excited to show it off but it was invisible. I realized I had made a mistake using it on stream but I like the way it sounds 😁 and I like using the green screen.

right on, I've seen Harry Mack guest with Marc Rebillet, he's pretty sweet. My love for Beardyman will always be a thing too, he's an OG of face music looping.

Thank you!!! The vortex is an awesome midi controller. Definitely map out what you want to do with it and then look over the midi implementation manuals to get it to do what you wanna do. All of the live looping for instruments is done with the MC707 (the thing on the tray table to my immediate right) and the vocals are looped through an RC500. My tips for the preset editor are to write down which channels and cc messages you wanna use and then set them up on the editor. I had to go back and forth between my notes and the editor a few times as I realized I liked positions of things in different spots while I played, but didn't play right near my comp so having the notebook was handy. The only software is the vortex editor to change the presets. Everything else is hardware. Planning out what tones work together and setting up the mc707 took me the longest but it really was worth it in the end. The neat thing with the device is you can test it with the pads on the device so I didn't have to constantly wire in the keytar. One device I'd check out is the mc101, it can be setup similar to the mc707 and it's battery powered so you can use it at open mics. This is what I'm doing right now. Any help I can be, I'm always happy to help, us keytarists gotta stick together. good luck and thank you for the kind words and watching.

thank you, the pleasure is all mine 😄

I can't, he's also the drummer! They out vote me. :)

thank you very much, I appreciate you

thanks glad you liked it

thanks man

thank you very much

It's a new nylon string guitar, I'd spend the whole stream tuning. 😆 It's all for fun but yeah you're right I should be more careful. Thanks for watching anyways.

thank you, that's a preview of the wedding lights 🙂

thank you

thanks I think?

Paul had wanted to move on and pursue other things. I still see him, but he's not doing music or comedy anymore. I still work with David for the creative stuff, but it's just me doing music now.

Oh no way!!! That's awesome, this one was one of our most ridiculous shows. Definitely one of my favorites that I've played.

right on, I can get with that like a metal wind section, I dig it

thank you very much for the kind words

Tim and Eric rock

Yes!!! It comes out tomorrow kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNxxgbV1up2mpGg.html

It was really easy to write and super helpful breaking it all down like the greats did.

Thanks man, I absolutely will.

thank you, I tried hard with this one

Thanks Joey!!! I appreciate the kind words and I absolutely will do.

If someone takes the time to write, I think it deserves a response. Also thank you for watching

100% Loved watching this one. I watched it a few times now. I always yell blame it on thunder when I ride bikes with my son and he loves it.

😁 I don't know if I know lazerpig but I'm thankful for them and for you. I appreciate you! if you don't mind explaining or pointing me in lazerpig's direction that'd be awesome too.

"The T-34 is not as good as you think it is" is Lazerpig video that uses it.Funny history at its best. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ea-KabN3vruxZaM.html @@JetpackSuperheroes

He used this song in his video its actually pretty famouse video ir has like 1m views

I'm really glad you liked this!! Thank you for taking the time to comment too!! I appreciate you!

I was just playing around making sure equipment worked and when I watched it back I figured I should share it. I think I was just happy everything was working. 🙂

@@JetpackSuperheroes fucking love it dude

I'm glad you like it and I appreciate that you took a second to tell me. That means a lot and definitely motivates me to upload some more

@@JetpackSuperheroes right on dude keep it up or just join the army lol

absolutely will do 😁

thank you
