man just imagine that before technology made shit easier ppl used to be able to play crazy arpeggiators by themselves.....now you just press one note and you're good lol..
technology really robs us of training ourselves to do things ...
first one is b minor pent, the p.f. one is e minor pent. such a cool lick, takes a bit of running but you can get it down nice n smooooooth. just play it legato or it sounds like poo :P
You're SO right. If I heard this without the video I would swear it was a programmed arpeggio. His accuracy is awe inspiring, yet he remains a very accessible musician who creates very human sounding compositions. He's not a soulless technician when he plays. He should do a solo album of all textured sonic experiments. If anyone can demo a synth's capabilities it's Rudess.

I used to have a moog rogue and I was playing along with on the run. I just went off and I kept right with it and I just felt it. Everyone there including myself was freaked. I dont think I could do it again. Normally Im pretty lousy.
That's SO awesome!! I want to get a job and buy a Little Phatty! I need a synthesizer!! And a good keyboard! And a microphone! And a computer recording program! Damn. I'm probably gonna have to wait a few years... =P AWESOME EXAMPLE JORDAN!!
However, he used it to demo the Little Phatty's power, as he was saying he was using a big modular before but he can do all of that with this tiny machine. I think they let it slide 'cause of that.
oww!! My bowls have relieved themselves. :(

Thank you, was playing this tonight and sounded great. Resonance half way and sweep the cutoff filter and it sounds pretty good.

Yeah... when I hear really creative use of filters, it knocks me out.
I think I began getting into actual synthesis on a Casio CZ-101, a Yamaha CS-01 and Yamaha CS-01II.
This sounds great.

I thought the same but I've bought a voyager which has even more knobs and its surprisingly easy to pick up.
Plus the manual is very comprehensive.

Lol, if you can't figure out how Little Phatty works, then you should sell your PSRs of what ever, and just quit.
