[jhonlennon85]

what is the difference between the tube and microphone korg



[TurnDownTheAC]

@jhonlennon85 The tube is for a talkbox.The microphone on the Microkorg is for a vocoder. A talkbox just plays the sound through the tube. It's like artificial vocal chords. You just use your mouth to modify what it sounds like. The vocoder is something that you sing into and it electronically modifies your voice, if I'm not mistaken.

[jhonlennon85]

what is the difference between the tube and microphone korg

[iag127]

[natoochrno]

[f4c30n3]

raab himself

[07jaklat]

you can hear the original over you :/ fail

[AmourSynthetique]

@07jaklat How does that equate to a failure? o_O It just shows he perhaps didn't level it correctly.

[07jaklat]

@AmourSynthetique oh shut up you argumentative cock.

[AmourSynthetique]

@07jaklat How hypocritical. Someone who chose to attack a talented musician by calling his video a 'failure' is now calling me argumentative.

[07jaklat]

@AmourSynthetique if you think its talented for a machine to change your voice, go with that dude, see how far you get. Also you are argumentative, i had my opinion, which i am entitled to, and you chose to reply questioning my views, which btw you completely contradicted yourself 'how does that equate to a failure' 'didnt level it correctly' - dude, you just proved my point. Thankyou, and goodnight.

[AmourSynthetique]

@07jaklat Ahem...

There are a number of flaws with your post. A talkbox does actually require skill, as a formant is needed to melodically shape a melody- in this case, the mK is used to control the pitch of the voice. It's not autotune, as control over the formant is required.

Also, a slight blemish in leveling does not make the whole video a 'failure'. I for one can easily distinguish his playing from KW's voice. Therefore, what I said wasn't a contradiction at all. Your opinion is flawed.

[AmourSynthetique]

@07jaklat And also, artists using talkboxes have made it very far musically and commercially. Daft Punk and Bon Jovi spring to mind.

[07jaklat]

@AmourSynthetique yeah, but its getting old, there is no talent just shush fatty

[AmourSynthetique]

@07jaklat Wow, you're really running out of fight. Ssh fatty? Wow, what an insult. I'm underweight, you dumb chav.

[07jaklat]

@AmourSynthetique chav? studying medicine at uni, and underweight? get some money to eat then, scruff

[AmourSynthetique]

@07jaklat :D

[TheGrooveyOwl]

You need to be a Youtube partner. Like right now.

[FattyArbuckle1981]

Fuck Auto tune. Talkbox is where it's at.

It actually takes talent, and no software to hit the pitch for you.

[np785]

so you have to hit the keys to make the note the voice sounds like and then manipulate it with your mouth?

[ChickenVendetta]

@np785 Yep. Vocoders are pretty much the same thing except they dehumanize your voice.

[sarahthus]

wow. just wow. wow.

[DJDARKSTEPZ]

THATS PRETTY COOL, BUT DONT THAT THING MAKE U GAG A BIT OR GET THE SPITS???

WHERES THE MIC FOR THE MICRKORG? OR IS IT NOT ALL THAT!!!

TALENTED ... KEEP IT UP DUDE

[ShortBrownMC]

haha synth thesynthesizer! haha good job tho man for real!! sounds like the real thing even tho its autotune

[macattack9766]

i have the same micro korg and talkbox but i'm not as good as you

[mcnabb43v3r]

this is so freakin awesome!!

[im19iSWARE]

Can someone answer this question:

What's the difference between the included mic with the Microkorg and the Banshee in terms of the actual quality of the vocoder effect?

Is there a difference?

[cytotecman]

z-zzynthezizer?

[Aggie352]

Thank you so much for letting us know what you're using!

[HolyCrapsItsKeychain]

the microkorg was only 3 dollars??!!!

[MrJordie619]

Awesome dude!!!

[jakeawockeez]

[RapeAllRayPaul]

Banshee talk box:159.00 Banshe2: 210.00

[JayemSoccer]

$399

[RionNipal]

notice that he's talking about a microkorg and not a hamburger at McDonalds...

[dayham09]

@RionNipal ..hes 12,thats why hes asking,just making sure..so thanks :)

[RionNipal]

at 12 years old I knew that a midi keyboard cost more than $5...

[dayham09]

so you must be a scholar by now huh?not everyone knows about pricing, and thats what discount stores and garage sales are for too, think before you just attack a 12 year old

[RionNipal]

your mad dumb. I'm gonna stop wasting my time in the comments and watch the video

[dayham09]

3.99 or 399?

[JayemSoccer]

$399

[TheScreamOfFear]

Hey man. I'm a man with carefully chosen words and you should do a better recording of this. You did an amazing job on this and you should promote it better.

;D

Keep up the good work man.

Peace out BHuntJr,

TheScreamOfFear

[HeartAngelSoulDemon]

can u post a tutorial for this? PLEASE man - that stuff is AWESOME!!

[slipknotrxxx]

Can That Talkbox Be Used On Any Synthesizer/Keyboard That Has A Headphone Plug In

[ntravers1488]

just get an adapter at radioshack from 1/4" to 1/8"

[slipknotrxxx]

@ntravers1488, What Are Those, Just So I Understand

[ntravers1488]

@slipknotrxxx

It's a little adapter that has one end is a male 1/4" jack like a guitar uses and the other is a female 1/8th" jack like typical headphones use. You'll probably need one that goes stereo 1/8th" to mono 1/4th".

[slipknotrxxx]

@ntravers1488 And If I get That, I Can Use The Talkbox

[ntravers1488]

@slipknotrxxx

you should be able to to. It's like a $2 piece and if you brought the talkbox with you when you bought it you could make sure it's the right one there.

[afroninjaman7]

a talkbox can be connected to anything electric even a ipod

[safetosaydontquoteme]

the microkorg is a beast.

[wWdirtysanchezMm]

So do you stick the tube on the side of your mouth or do you bite down on it?

[hunter35clash]

jus prooves anyone can be kanye kool video

[whattahomo2]

wud a normal keyboard work aswell?? say like a crappy yamaha..?

[JohnnyMidnight1]

no... in general what you refer to is a ROMpler, which plays ROM samples but cannot generate new sounds on it's own... most shitty keyboards found at WALMART/COSCO fit this category...

[whattahomo2]

so what wud u recomend?? in terms of brands? and features or must haves

[JohnnyMidnight1]

well, I'm not much of an expert on synths, but in this video he uses a microKORG, which is a relatively affordable little synth which can be rigged very easily w/ a talkbox... i don't know...

[whattahomo2]

ohk thanks, its just i live in NZ and havnt seen any of those in the music shops, im sure they sell them online or on ebay anyway thanks for your help.

[savytechno17]

guitar center thats where i got mine.

[rowin09]

dx100 or microkorg

[RionNipal]

Circuit bent keyboards are CRAZAY SIICK for talkbox if you know how to bend them right

[SteffyTheCat]

Damn nice setup.

I'm so jealous xD

[adandmusicbaby]

really cool, i want one now lol

[TOXIKKOBK]

dude i have that exact same setup.. and i love the shit out of my microkorg

[josephgelb]

Wow

[Hadcoreverarschenkig]

Like the original

cool

[nordaai]

lol how did u think that Kanye West did this song? U think it's a real voice? :D haha

[Hadcoreverarschenkig]

NO!!!

[JoonCartier]

thats a microkorg... its a vocoder. comes with a mic. u wouldnt need a talkbox... so why the talkbox??

[BRUTE4THELOSE]

I Guess Just For The Fun Of It.

[chaosgragon44]

@JoonCartier a talk box makes the quality of the words very high but when the vocoder mic is in it sounds staticy and too electronic...

[666haloinc666]

You have to understand the difference between a talkbox and a vocoder first...

[EmoForLife1000]

you got awsome talent, looks tough, but freakin badass 5/5

[yourmomma8888]

whatt? why did you do it while the song was playin? no one can hear you

[bigbookofnothing]

z-zzynthezizer? zynzhezzynthezizer? lol.

[KCxBlack]

i'm glad you picked it back up i've waited

[SammyTinXD]

s-s--s-ss-s sintheziser xD

[bunallican]

holy shit dude u think u could make this into a mp3 for mee

[eleckson]

I gave you 5 stars before you even started because of the way you said "synthesizer".

lmao

5 stars on the performance as well though

[bunallican]

LOL word

[SlapboxxStudio]

I just wish it didnt look weird

[Aaronluvs2drum]

doesnt the microkorg have a built in talkbox type thing?

[t3amtomahawk]

Talkbox > Autotune

Autotune has been maliciously murdered. :(

[AustinSeals]

Talkboxes have been used wayyy before autotune was even invented ;]

[RionNipal]

one word: Sonovox

[xXSampleBeatsXx]

Y do you have to play the piano? Do you actually have to press certain buttons or can you press random buttons?

[AustinSeals]

You gotta play a line that follows the tune of the vocals.

You can generally play whatever, it just might not fit as good as you'd want.

:P

[zgomez68]

certain buttons for the range of the vocals

[AmourSynthetique]

What do you mean?

It's a synthesizer. You do need to have an understanding of playing keys/piano and music to play it well. I learned using the MK- hadn't really touched piano seriously before.

[jessikagurl101]

damn i want a talkbox now

[Doin98]

hey man......i've seen all of your videos and they are just incredibly amazing. especialy this one. you should really consider making more of these. love when you use the talk box :) you should become famous for all of this.....anyways, great job!

[NarutoRocker31]

do you think you could do bad touch by the bloodhound gang

[xxX1slayer1Xxx]

lol bad touch:P that would be awesome if he did that

[Giggy901]

you are one of the best!

IF YOU AGREE PRESS GOOD COMMENT, IF YOU DISAGREE PRESS BAD COMMENT, IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT HE HAS IS DOING REPLY ASKING WHAT HES DOING

[F0nkyNinja]

KICKING ASS

[abjamess]

@Giggy901 WHAT is he doing. do the keys change the tone of his voice? but it is really cool

[FattyArbuckle1981]

@abjamess

The keys change the pitch.

Talkbox effects the tones.

[keyhead101]

can u do human nature by michael jackson

[halofreakymaster]

[liu7]

[weensie562]

Sounds much better / actually like the song if you use autotune.

[DJZEROTX]

[SharkieWSU]

[Rydoom]

[EmOjErKiN1237]

Daft Punk Is Better To Do The Talkbox With

[ilovemusicandanime1]

[EmOjErKiN1237]

[PinoyBoyjecjec]

[effectsmaster1]

this is so sweet. I learned this on the guitar, I ordered my rocktron banshee yesterday from recording store"."com, it'll be awesome when it gets here. I love all your talk box videos, you (and a few other people) are the reason i started getting interested into talk boxes! you rock!!

also the name is pronounced Rock-tron without the "a" My brother has a rocktron pedal board and he told me its pronounced that way. :) peace

[andrea24b]

[PinoyBoyjecjec]
