Jordan Rudess Meets Wivi Band

[DonnieGQ]

UM... WOW. lol thats it... This dude made that last part sound like a real session. He's amazing.

[Xiao1459]

How am I supposed to use this app if my microphone is on the back in the top (near the camera) on the iPod Touch 4th gen???

[necrozaz]

Jordan LOVES his iPhone xD

[BWRHC]

As a recent Iphone 4 user, how do you connect to a mixer if you are using the mic output to blow into? Besides the charger hookup at the bottom I know of no other way?

[rlainhart]

@BWRHC You use the headphone output to connect to your mixer, and blow into the physical mic on the bottom of the phone, next to the dock connector - you don't use the mic on the earbuds.

[theogore]

Jordan is the Gandalf of music apps.

[TheAmigops]

This should be called Wivi Band Meets Jordan Rudess

[sandymcintosh]

Fantastic demo Jordan...... amazing software.... can't believe you actually blow into the mic ! .... thought you were just simulating to help your phrasing lol.

Excellent stuff .... thanks.

Sandy.

[ballademaker]

interesting device this one sound good too.

[Architectonic01]

What we need is an iPhone symphonic orchestra group. :p

[ironwolg]

@Architectonic01 i think that's been done already haha

i gotta get an iphone now, assuming i can afford the plan

[fashnek]

@ironwolg iPod Touch.

[JoeSatraniFan]

Damn...

[Tengent]

I'm happy to see that someone who plays metal music can write a decent wind quintet. :)

[mulletchuck]

@Tengent

Quartet, not quintet.  And that is a tasty quartet.

[Lepzuekimon2]

Awesome..very cool

[hockinm1]

interesting video actually. thanks

[hockinm1]

1:55 No, sorry mate never heard of you

[ironwolg]

any chance we can get the sheet music for the woodwind quartet?

[MrMaradian]

Crazy.....!!!

[Aiden057]

Great Job, Jordan. Thanks for a most interesting demo and, as always, some really excellent music.

[eferkano]

God Must Be a Pianist

[elbataquero]

MASTER OF MASTERSSSS!!!!!!

[sessel52]

you are a musical god!

[andreagrimaldi]

this is so good...

[RandomGuyBlake54]

This is amazing!!

[Nathan59]

Damn, it's him doin' all erotic soundtrack ?

What a appealing song...

[MrDYR2912]

I'm pretty sure we'd be able to control time and space by then.. lol

[ironwolg]

technology amazes me

[chucke1963]

This proves that god can do, or play anything! Jordan is from a higher place....

[kakobinho]

este wn las caga ... creo que es el mejor ...

[Caimacan]

Este tío es el puto amo. Es increible. Amazinggggg.

[Fireaxx789]

he used this when i saw him live!!! the whole crowd was all like wtf???? :D

[ewenicorn115]

OMG, you could actually get a bunch of friends together and jam!

[jurviz]

First thing I have ever seen that makes me want an iPhone.

Or, rather, the first thing I have ever seen that makes me sad that the iPhone sucks so bad I know I'm never going to buy one.

[aakethedrummer93]

wtf , he can play anything ,wha these instruments are :DD: i don´t even know , but this is awesome :)

[dpsantos1994]

haha! the wizard is doing his job!

awesome video, 10/5

[JOHN2585]

this is unbelievable.....10 stars..

[thecautionthecrime]

seriously?! yet another reason why jordan rudess rules.

[pianoman154]

My EWI just went obsolete...

[juneXXX]

Ma quanta gente sta rincoglionendo questo telefonino? Davvero troppa...

[noconfig]

Ma hai visto quanto si può fare? E' incredibile a prescindere da che effetto abbia con chi vuole buttare via soldi solo perchè è bello esteticamente!

[juneXXX]

Hai ragione, ma è come il calcio: solo una parte infinitesimale gioca per passione; il resto è business e status quo.

[noconfig]

Ma c'è sempre qualcuno d'intelligente che tifa.

[juneXXX]

Debbo nuovamente darti ragione, ma il punto è un altro, La sensazione. La sensation. E' business, se tu ci vedi del postivo non è detto che sia davvero evolutivo. E tifare non mi sembra nulla di intelligente, mi sembra un modo come un altro per ingannare il tempo e dimostrare che si deve qualcosa a qualcuno (la felicità alla vittoria di un team di miliardari, ad esempio, che non conoscono il tifoso).

[noconfig]

Se non avessero inquinato così a fondo questa visione, ognuno sarebbe davvero libero di approvare, commentare e innamorarsi di qualcosa. Ma non è così: la società ci calpesta. Però se ce ne si accorge si cerca di porne rimedio: io sono rimasto stupito dalle funzioni futuristiche dell' iPhone, ma non celo nessun velo finanziario... :)

[juneXXX]

Mi par di capire che, anche te, come gli altri ti fai abbindolare da quello che ti lasciano "toccare". Ti stupisci di un I-phone? E perché mai? Non crederai mica che si tratti della più evoluta tecnologia? Pensa a chi se li fa in casa i synth, quilli sono suonatori attivi, non passivi che aspettano che esca una tastiera nuova per sconvolgere i soliti "schiavi del mercato"...

[noconfig]

Ti devo dare indubbiamente ragione, ma nulla mi toglie un genuino stupore ed ammirazione quando vedo che se soffi dentro un cellulare suoni con un modellamento fisico di fiati davvero realisticamente. Ma come tu giustamente dici, questo aggeggio da pubblicità non vale niente in confronto a chi se li costruisce...

[juneXXX]

Bene, è la prima volta che su you tube finisco una discussione senza interromperla o senza dare ragione forzata alla persona con cui parlo. Non che mi capiti spesso di discutere...!

[noconfig]

Questo vale anche per me...di solito mi offendono se commento! lol

[juneXXX]

:D siamo due persone eccezionali ...ahahaahah!

[noconfig]

Sacrosanta verità!! Ahah

[VPanzerDivisionen]

.Al vero tifoso interessa solo la sua città e i suoi colori e sicuramente non quei 4 mercenari pieni di soldi che se hanno voglia rendono bene in campo altrimenti.....I giocatori per noi non esistono a parte qualche raro caso(rarissimo!).Ora disperati perchè esistono Ultras(e metalmeccanici) che ascoltano prog,jazz,fusion.Roba che solo voi studentelli viziati,presuntuosi dall'alto del vostro rango sociale elevato e molte volte ereditato vi potete permettere...

[juneXXX]

Sei buffo; lo capisco dal nik e dal fatto che hai dato una descrizione di me, che se chiedessi a qualche mio amico, non ti saprebbe aiutare a dirti chi sono...vai ad atteccare qualche crocifisso in città... (così puoi darmi anche del comunista magari: il vostro antico nemico!)

[eagel1000]

ahh damnit it needs a microphone so not for iPod touch =(

[elpagna]

LOL so beautiful, how can he play on that little keys ? => GOD

[netoolv]

Hahaha! MacGyver!

[JakeTF2]

he really is the musicman, he can play everything XD

[SebVettel18]

If you gave Jordan Rudess a pile of trash, he could create the most awe- inspiring music with it. He's simply incredible.

[FurioNfromHell]

Amazing...

[Rickles]

He could play a stringless guitar if he wanted... Anything he touches magically becomes amazing.

[smfleu]

hhahaaahaha

you got a point:P

[PRIMEx420]

lol well-put... i bet when he accidentally drops things, they hit the ground and it sounds like a solo

[ronufas]

best comment ever =)

[ScorgeRudess]

He is bettern than chuck norris!!

[salehhaddad]

Cool ! I wish I have something like this on my phone.

[bamskimmer]

he was blessed by Apollo.. for sure

[chivasoft]

I'm sure that him's comming from another world............

[metalaxer13]

Why is he so god?!?!

[timberwolf98]

*mind blown*

[rudess84]

....

[drumari0]

ok so, is this guy crap at anything? JORDAN! play a drum solo

[dcrespol]

LOL

[mitsuohara]

lol

[HeartOfMetalx11]

intense

[essengeebee]

I wet myself when he said "That's for you advanced players out there."

[SHWATE]

dude, iphone solo for dream theater's next album

[SirTmas1]

he's already done one. I THINK its in the rite of passage solo. He frequently uses one on stage too :-)

[trinixia]

Awesome!

[sammywombarra]

iwonder if jordan rudess has ever tried to play a melodica

or and acordian

that would be brilliant

[4575]

Jordan really is amazing, so much talent. Dream Theater are my favorite band and Jordan is my favorite keyboardist.

Rock on. ,!,,!

[wassuppaska]

if Jordan Rudess chose to use all of his brain capacity at once, the world would explode

[CrimsonDrift16]

woodwind quartet gave me goosebumps...beautiful...he can do anything related to music...wait..cuz he is god..

[abhishekverma1983]

too cool

[Arethias]

innovator

[f01s82]

this guy can play everything!!!!!!!

[Glitchhog]

Rudess is the man!

[hyukjoon22]

this is the man we call a genius.

[osunvid]

Can you do Kenny G on it?

Wait, he already did.

[vontetzianos]

That is very cool. Trust Jordan Rudess to even make an iPhone sound amazing.

[mootbooxle]

The woodwind quartet at the end is ....WOW!!

[cepaszuste]

There is also an iPhone that can make you think instead of using your brain, it's really cool.

[psychometaldrummer]

think INSTEAD of using your brain?

Well I can see you certainly did that.

[memoemo77]

I think he meant think for you or something like that

[organmies]

You guys have probably already stopped using your brain cause you don't get the irony...

[lumigecko]

pwned...

[belempa1]

Nice Richard,

now you don't need more your B200e to make wonderful music . :-)

(It's a joke)

Eric

[juarasejati]

totally awesome........

prog on, Rudess....

[tearsinraine]

that is too cool!

[Thediegmyster]

amaziing dude! lol .. this guy blows my mind!!!

thanks for sharrrin! ;D

[wyldeman7]

i love this app so much. thanks for the video. the iphone is beastly.

[nsudrumr]

what do I need to do to output sound through say computer speakers with rca outputs?

[nsudrumr]

I have a cable that plugs into the headphone jack of the iphone, and it has rca's on the other end. computer speakers have rca's, but the combo doesnt work

[rlainhart]

Are they powered speakers? If they are, it should work, unless there's a problem with the cable. If they aren't, it may be that the output of the iPhone isn't enough to drive the speakers.

[yetonGhul]

where is i t?

is it available yet ?

[rlainhart]

It's available now on the iTunes store - just search for Wivi Band.

[yetonGhul]

wallanderinstruments. ad a dot -com and it brings u to this instrument. Btw the sound doesnt come out from the iphone. its just used as a sleek controller.

the sounds come out of his computer running sample libraries. u can also play it with any random microphone and keyboard.

[rlainhart]

Not true - you're thinking of the Wallander WIVI instruments, which run as plugins or standalone apps on the computer, and cost hundreds of dollars. Wivi Band, which Jordan is playing here, runs natively on the iPhone, and costs $4.95. All the wind and brass sounds you hear in this clip are produced by and are coming from the iPhone.

[SFLogicNinja]

Man, that is so damn cool. Jordan Rudess... What can't he do? Answer: NOTHIN'

[rpb1966]

I bought this app yesterday, and at last a real dynamic wind instrument which I can use in my recording studio, what an amazing app, well played Jordon.

[jorninorion]

jordan i love you:) im glad u re in my fave. band...

[RamonesKaraoke]

Good Lord is this man talented or what?

[robman80808]

Fantastic Jordan. Once again, as with Bebot, your demo convinced me to take a deeper look at this app and buy it. You should be on commission!

[musicfuse]

Never thought I'd see him play an iphone. how things change.

[JCRUDESS]

I have a new respect for wind payers!! It's not easy to control ones breath to play a proper musical phrase!!!

[sirvoltage]

That may be true, but you certainly managed it.

[TheiosXaris]

I feel like I have to make fun of Jordan's typo, but I.. I can't.

[hogberto]

kenny g. would love this.

[prodigalkiller]

HAHAHA 5:12 . Cool app man.

[flugelhornmaster]

This thing is quite remarkable. It has some similarities to the way a wind controller handles octaves, but this looks and sounds better.

Lovely woodwind quartet writing at the end; that could be a very nice piece for performance by the regular instrumentation. You should publish it.

[closedtheband]

that's freaking sweet! why don't i have an iphone yet?! jordan, i'm a big fan of all your work and it was cool to see you playing a little quartet piece at the end.

[jazzman1222]

First, great expressive playing Jordan. My questions are:

1. Is this MIDI? Are you able to play this as a MIDI controller in a DAW like Logic or Pro Tools?

2. How did you get your signal into your mixer....Bluetooth? Or is this Wireless MIDI?

3. Any condensation issues or other problems blowing into the mic on the iPhone? Thank you for your time, can´t wait to get this!!!

[rlainhart]

1. No MIDI, just audio.

2. Look closely, and you'll see a stereo cable coming out of the headphone jack on the bottom.

3. Not so far, but it could be an issue. That's why sucking on the mic (which works very well), rather than blowing into it, might be a better idea.

4. No jokes about sucking and blowing allowed.

[Marisueksu]

Amazing. :)

[Proghead88]

Haha, this is what a true musician is. Always using technology to express himself in any way possible.

Awesome.

[oadrogi]

god.

[nightmarecinematic]

Truely amazing Jordan. The last part, mind blowing :) Rock on!

[DTRemcoG]

Wokmuziek xD

[peter47a]

Awesome!

[PaddyShadowMusic]

And of course we meet on that video. I should have seen it coming :D

Very cool stuff!
