Fooling around on Alesis Micron

[catchspot]

flows like liquid

[11193dom]

this is heaven sent

[sensinzen]

wow broski...

[xxDarkHeartxx731]

This guy is right next to Chick Corea for best pianist/synth player ever. Imagine them playing together...the audience's faces would melt in pure bliss...

[ganthed]

years after i found this i still keep comming back and listining. i would love to know how you made the backing track in this cause i love it man!

[thehanz123]

its its ppl like you that make ppl buy these sik instruments and then they find out they dont know how to use em

[rotatingsphere]

holy fuck son, this was YOUR moment, nice

[nickeeboy]

Micron looks neat. No fuss. It's an instrument plain and simple.

Program it for your custom sound.

Pads, slow or fast phrases, it's well programmed, all you need is creativity.

[thomasthomasthomasis]

this is dorian concept yes?

[thedenimeffect]

this is so fucking good. its stupid how damn good this is.

[PAnigga2]

Some people just love to HATE on great shit smh

[Equinoxious]

nice one!

[felipesancho]

i think it looks better than the akai miniak

[djcondra]

HOLYFUCKINGSHITTHATSAWESOME

[4n71r14d]

jenious god

[cpcnw]

Be nice to get the pattern / program / pad / lead names and numbers on this for all us Micron tweaksters

[dadotzsekutumushroom]

he wear PowerBalance...!!!!

lol

[Bealythedrummer]

he once fingered a girl... she died ^^

[djcondra]

@Bealythedrummer lol wut

[humblelaurie]

@Bealythedrummer that's been on every video of talented synth players/djs/pianists i've ever seen

[BLKFACE]

@Bealythedrummer Best comment i ever read ....lmao , seriously the guy is a genius

[jazst21]

his fingers and thought is superbly syncronized O_o

[letthepassionflow]

cool

[zbtunes]

how do u afford all these synths

[thegroove2000]

Bubbly..

[lusidghost]

The roll you did at 0:09 was sick as hell.

[mrmoosedoctor]

you sir are a genius and basically my synth hero! i must've watched this video and your microkorg jams at least 200 times haha

[ColinKochevar]

I'm getting a rival of this, the Microkorg.

[XnoikzX]

wait a second. does the micron tend to lose its slider-thing? because its missing on the micron in the video and on one i saw on ebay.

[interest56]

@XnoikzX yes. I bought one without the sliders (lost by previous owner), so I ordered new ones from Alesis in April 2010. After a lot of emails, they arrived in November 2010. My second worst shopping experience ever.

[rathersharp]

@XnoikzX - yes they fall off very easily. i bought mine without either sliders. (so 2 had fallen off).

but it's easy to use without the sliders. just take off the red piece of plastic around them

[XnoikzX]

Instruction for what I call the "SUPER-CHILLED-SPACE-JAZZ-FEEL­ING":

1. Press Play.

2. Turn the volume all the way up.

3. Close your eyes.

Enjoy.

[G8tr1522]

"Fooling around" is one way to say "I'm actually THE shit: at fusion jazz/on a alesis micron"

[iggyds89]

super funky shit !!

[MrJLDmusickid]

Damn, that was amazing!

[Briansocialscene]

You are the man.

[Briansocialscene]

You are the man.

[bapesta215]

sick shit!

[EnCrypticon23x]

I liked this not because I liked it, [I actually don't, not my thing] BUT!!!... I can't deny that this guy has some serious skills. Great job, chap!

[blaumausfrau]

now children...

[henderific]

...woah



[neuromante7]

you are great man.. very cool.

[MrKnnknn]

Super nice ! Love it! Very creative

[prtyboi22]

Its like...like....God just came in my ear.....you are too beast dude!!!!

[funkynassau]

Damn mate!! Credits 4 you!! friend of my post this on the mail.. (Subject: keep practising) So i thought ''okay, here comes another funny video of someone screwing it totaly up''

But straight after the first tone, i knew hey was saying it to me)

Complete control.... inspiring to see.

[denverm4x]

i like your style.. pretty badace

[arakrazy]

siiiiiiiiiiiiick

[UnseenExhile]

I am selling one of these, still in the original box, no cosmetic flaws for $150 if you pick it up(tallahassee) If i have to ship it then like $190.

[JGrusauskas]

@UnseenExhile  i will buy...860 806 one four four two

[slavesbydesign]

@CTAT98 very original. 

[brwest16]

Just cause you buy one of these doesn't mean your going to be able to play like this.....This guy is a genius.

[brwest16]

Just cause you buy one of these doesn't mean your going to able to do this....This guy is a fucking genius.

[skankingrhythmics]

@brwest16 I bought this last thursday and played slightly better than dorian concept. He doesn't got the funk if you know what I'm saying. He will get there bro... someday.

[SuperFunkDoctor]

@brwest16 yeah its dorian concept dude

[stevekool19]

@brwest16

Genius?

Let's not get fucking stupid.

A genius implies he is doing something very few others could do.

Anybody could, with enough practice do exactly what he does.

The motherfucker didn't unlock the secret of anti-gravity, he's playing a synth and playing it well.

Let's leave it at that.

[skankingrhythmics]

@stevekool19 true.

I have this synth and I play just a bit better.

I've also got more feeling with jazz and funk imo.

But he'll get good someday, I hope.

[hongdekong]

would you prefer this above a microkorg?

[bluephihitman]

Veddy nice! I think I'm buying one of these puppies tomorrow morning.

[manmachine57]

Brilliant ! Thank You :-) Hope you don't mind ...have posted on facebook to share :-)

[manmachine57]

Brilliant ! Thank You :-)

[FunnyWarningStickers]

you have the most awsome video ive ever seen on youtube you are star

[slavesbydesign]

Should i get this synth or the microkorg if i just want a portable synth for recording

[iamDigitalTripp]

@slavesbydesign this

[slavesbydesign]

@CTAT98 Who the fuck is Justin Bieber

[captainresin]

Yeah for Dorian!

[backshoot]

it's called talent!

[vpmitchell]

Im sorry but Oliver Thomas Johnson is the shit...young cat knows a good deal about music too. Unlike 94.7% wanna be DJ's that push around a few knobs and call themselves musicians...

[RobRosen92]

this thing is a toy compared to the korg radias

[Linnehan13]

This needs to repeat with a screaming synth or guitar over it.

[spacefuzzz]

You'd make George Duke proud!

[TheZzyzzx]

Dude... Dorian Concept... omg

[azulproyect]

wtf t-shirt

[rellybeats]

Is it me or is this Dorian Concept ??????? : |

[therealomunit]

if u dislike this you're basically a massive cunt

[jeriqooo]

@therealomunit People who make "if you dislike this..." comments are massive cunts.

[thedenimeffect]

@jeriqooo NO LIEKZ FO YOO

[shizzlebiskit3rd]

sick!

[karlmahlmann]

very cool and original.

[jkuebler89]

@CTAT98 wow original. mentioning beiber. i think youre the first.

[Leodorus]

Awesome!!

[bootleggah]

DORIAN CONCEPT

[worldcreations]

god damn it !

this cat HAVE to be playing live gigs he's mad skilled

[jsadecki]

subscribed :D

[AbioticSneaker]

DAS BEAT TICKLEZZZ MMMMMMMMMM XD

[skcgraphic]

Very nice... Check out sone of mine if you've got the time

[musicbythebrain]

love this. feeling this.

[TheMickB22]

so what would be a better idea to buy, this or the microkorg

[AbioticSneaker]

@TheMickB22 I personally say the micron, the microkorg is much more of a playtoy compared to this... especially when it comes to expandability... if you are looking to create truly original sounds and you understand, or would like to learn sound synthesis then get the micron....the only drawback for me is the fact that it takes forever to design a new sound due to the one knob used to navigate the entire machine, other than that I love mine to death and will likely never sell it.

[3638954]

Definitely just subscribed.

[movezig1]

dislikes? are you fucking kidding me...

[dtotheatothevtothee]

Looks like he's broken a slider and the knob off...what an animal. Check out his other videos under "Dorian Concept"

[dtotheatothevtothee]

Badass...I have one of these on the way...

[LookWeRavedForYou]

gosh i love this sound...this isn't on the album? :(

[AndrewSkyMusic]

HOLY SHIT. We need to collab- get at me!

[XOletsgetlostXO]

Hey guys check, out my demos of the alesis micron, please comment and critique. My style is a bit different then dorians, and I'm no where near his talent level. Hope you enjoy.

[HipH0pMessiah]

i wish i had a micron. :(

[ExplorerFreak]

@HipH0pMessiah Buy mine. ;)

[HipH0pMessiah]

@ExplorerFreak how much? what kind of condition is it in?

[RegulatedBreathing]

I like this video a lot more than those Microkorg ones... Don't know why, it sounds so... How can I say... Out of this world. The microkorg videos are funky, but this is just trippy

[movezig1]

Cant believe people disliked this. So fucking dope. Dorian is the man

[SODAMOSCOW]

Man! It's Great !!!

Can you play more and longer!

Please, make some more video!

[mustermaenner]

he actually screws around so fast on both synths that some knoobs are broken as you can see in the videos...

[MillRockSound]

Wow, this is really impressive, and certainly shows how funky the Micron can be. Fav'ed!

[gaher5]

Help!! this is a midi controler o what?

[gridsleep]

@gaher5 What. It's a synth. And that's the way it ought to be played. Must get a lot of usage, what with the missing knobs and all. Very tasty licks.

[BCZ433]

@gaher5 wtf? are you retarded? even if you didn't know what it was initially all you have to do is google the title and find out what it is within seconds? wtf is wrong with people

[gaher5]

@BCZ433 Gracias por tu comentario, la verdad que me ayudaste muchisimo jajajaja si vas a comentar algo que no ayuda y despues de 2 meses..........entonces no lo hagas

[MrGeomusic]

Simply AWESOME!!!

[missingsayoko]

you kick ass.

[bone577]

This tune needs to be released. This is too good not to get a proper release.

[kingsoza83]

That amazing !!!!!!!!

[dipmuthafukinset]

sick shirt, rep van

[thanman11]

looks like he set his "x" controller knob to adjust the pitch of the notes he was playing. does anyone out there know how to do that. I've got one of these synths and i can't figure it out.

[lvo1306]

@thanman11 He's adjusting speed of the effect, therefore the pitch.

[stoutishpayload]

this is dorian concept

[mydecembermydecember]

Making those set ups must be a pain when your missing your control wheel. Great sound you have going.

[Marco888888]

dorian!!

[MisterBankz]

That must've taken some practice, awesome tho man

[lorearna]

great bro! loved it!

[dropandseed]

when i saw the micron it was love at first sight!

[kavrasman]

@allereerste his artistic name is dorian concept i believe

[djcondra]

Yes. Alesis should thank this dude. Or hire him.

[Ivangasdj]

awesome



[donfuan76]

@CTAT98 loool, you made my day

[aliased]

Your phrasing is out of this world, man. Reminds me of Kit Watkins but edgier.

I'll be showing this to anyone i discuss keyboards, exp the "folk Micron" with.

Gimme more.

[Sophiethefembot]

wooowww incredibly classy dude keep it up!!!

[4n71r14d]

26"



[4n71r14d]

he got a pedal too...

[gbboi]

well done

[thegroove2000]

very expressive. ..KEEP ON BRO...

[justmeandyoumusic]

0:17 sounds a bit like Jimmy from South Park

[freeyourhate22]

stop fooling around

[dutybugg]

Rockin' it. Now try it with your toes.

[V19torrent]

ill say it again - awesome job! I'm still going to save up for one of these. I looked at the roland synths but i find the micron is just so much more versatile.

[squeakD]

Alesis should thank this man as his vids have sold MANY microns.....

[wetfoodstamps]

What do you use for the beat?

[Dechead92]

22 people can fuck off, tbh.

[puretechno]

@Dechead92

yep. 22 people wouldn't know music if it kicked them in the parts.

[MOLexclusives]

That WAS BRILLIANT MAN!!!!! I get mine tomorrow. Nice to see someone who can play well!

[ponkor]

I`m moving to Vienna with my Roland SH2, we should have an Ottakringer.

[liones1982]

this is soooooo amazing!To me you´re kind of God with the Alesis Micron etc..... LOVE IT!!!

[liones1982]

this is sooooo amazing.... Love it!!!!!

[voltamars100]

lucky all who heard this! otherwise you'd be still listening too nirvana!

[voltamars100]

dorien yes...concept no....skillz yes....

[Twitch131]

That sound is great, reminds me of Chick Corea.

[cardinalvincent]

His playing style seems to have wrecked the Micron a bit.

[Val0n]

i like the normal keys on a small synth :D -i got a microkorg xl, but wanna sell it for a microstation

[tedogio]

cool^^

[AlesisMichaela]

My name is Alesis:)

[BillyFraserTidwell]

What are you using to make those beats?

[ArgyleRooster]

well done!

[joycesusoymilk]

this is the sound of my heart exploding.

[V19torrent]

did you program the percussion yourself?

[M1criminal]

ohh man.... your drum machine was external??!

[M1criminal]

you're awesome dude. we're in LA looking for a keyboardist and you gave that a whole new meaning. i'm very inspired. keep it up and write to me if you're in Los angeles.

[tooby98765]

Looks like he managed to break one of the sliders with all the jammin'....

[enterdreamtime]

yikes!

[demofactory]

Dude!!! Alesis should have hired you to do the demos!!!! That was great. I love the way you go at the pitch bend like a DJ's crossfader. Great style. Thanks for posting!

[thedjwilly]

i'm impressed.... wel don mate.

[topgear33]

is this like a copy of the micro korg

[Spunge14]

My god, this is unbelievable

[Metal758]

does this thing have midi?

[pattilakes]

you're a steezin key player and dorian concept is the shit but when the pitch bend lights up, waving your hand over it to make it look like you're doing more than you actually are doesn't fool anybody, keep the beats coming though, I could listen to them all day

[SpineTunes]

@pattilakes This is Dorian Concept you tit.

[pattilakes]

@SpineTunes i know that.

[SpineTunes]

@pattilakes Lol sorry bro. Misread your comment.

[itsbone141]

love it!!

[behindmybedroomwalls]

Brilliance.

[jplatanou]

Amazing

[wecanhealthis]

this is sick...most unique micron vid i've seen on youtube so far...i got mine like a month ago and i still have a lot to learn apparently...and did your m2 slider break off too? or did u take it off? mine's still there, but needs some glue...

[maccagrabme]

I tell you what m8, when you mentioned that you have music for sale I thought thats a bit bold but you could easily release commercial material, maybe you are already signed? I'd even go so far to say that you would be pushing boundaries in funk or r&b type styles as that needs a much needed shot in the arm. You have all of the best elements of a scratch dj but on a synth! Would love to see you on a Moog.

[the1337n00b]

What's on his X knob? I can't find that on my Micron. You know, the one this video prompted me to buy.

[GaxAngel]

Makes me wanna crack out a bong.

[rambandi]

thanks man!

[rambandi]

i have a question, does the micron has envelope knobs? (attack, decay, sustain, release)

[Microsloth]

If you want all the knobs--get an Ion.

[swpett]

@rambandi you can assign the three black knobs in the middle to pretty much whatever, including envelope

[cubworld]

so sick!
