Countdown to Samplewiz

[bleh151]

Play Panic Attack with the pig

[OfivetwoekVeeDee]

Ill get a tatoo that says "the wiz is happening"

[djrmusicdude]

I'll have to start saving for that ipad

[chessmastir]

Yeah, I like the Pig. The Pig is happening.

[linkbramley]

I can see a lot of DT cover bands using this thing!!! Especially for that JR lead... taste.

[ironwolg]

james's voice got a little chipmunky, is there a way to make it not do that? can't wait for this to show up in the app store, can we expect the standard $9.99 that we've been getting for all your other music apps?

[Malookoo008]

@ironwolg

In a video, Jordan shows the regular mode, granular mode and modern sampler mode. The latter takes samples and sounds like voices and shifts some of the harmonies, so the sounds are as chipmunky. Jordan only tried with a voice sample, but i'm hoping that modern mode makes LaBrie's voice better. Oh, the laughs I'll have...

[JMartinsATV]

That pig sound reminded me of Portal2

[CBOrion21]

hittin the sauce??????

[MShima78]

Hi Jordan, is Samplewiz compatible with Usb Midi Controllers via Camera Kit connector? Ex: Korg Nanokey?

[FarazR2]

Mr. Rudess, what do you think about the Kitana digital guitar? It's got some pretty cool features on there, that remind me a bit of the Morphwiz, especially the touch screen.

[kimicansyn]

can you play that one badass song, octavarium on this app?

[NakedDeluxe94]

I stared at the screen for a good 15 seconds after the video ended. You're crafty, Mr. Rudess.

[Progehr34]

I'm not lying, I got a semi watching this app

[TheodorKrueger]

Awesome! Perhaps you could assign some modulation/LFO/filter on the keys vertically, like Nesynth has vibrato when you move your fingers upwards.

[xicoraul]

Nice!! Can't wait! I hope this for the iPhone and iPad :)

[inspiredkk]

Jordon, this is really nice. I'll use on our CD recording of the United Nations World Awareness project. The voice aspect is key, I already had autistic kids soling with Morphwiz on the live performance. I'll send the link to our kickstarter project we just posted minutes ago, thanks for maintaining an inspired life, Kevin Kent

[Meteorotaki]

1:39 yeah I like the pig

[crisdd0302]

i got a question. in what black clouds and silver linings song is the snarling fucking pig jordan told mike to mark for the next album on the end of the chaos in motion documentary?

[JEDSaje15]

SNARLING FKIN PIG!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[ninjastep87]

WHEN!?

[MarcJX8P]

Can't wait! This opens up so many intuitively available creative ways of playing with sound!

[Telinstryata]

This is awesome. I think I might just have to buy an iPad just so I can get this and MorphWiz. BTW anyone know what the expected price of this app is going to be?

[XeroHertz]

No Jordan = No iPad

[RevStudios]

Very interesting, can't wait

[campion95]

I wish I could see you on the road Jordan but you're not coming to Ireland:( any way the Samplewiz looks awesome.

[marlenedegrood]

Another tease .... you're killing me :)

[agbjhw]

Holy fuck James is actually on it!

[probester9487]

SNARLING FUCKING PIG!!!

[goodvibrato]

love the snarling pig such an awesome wicked sound....more snarling pig!!!!

[halo3forlyfe]

This is fucking awesome! I wanna hear DTs new album!

[geiroffenberg]

ok cool but what are some real uses for this app.?

[Shellewell]

@geiroffenberg Its a fully functioning sampler that can do a huge number of things. Do you really think there AREN'T any real uses?

[geiroffenberg]

@Shellewell yes, name me some. Its not like im going to play on an ipad in live performances. Can it export samples to real instruments? Or is it just for play?

[geiroffenberg]

@geiroffenberg does it import samples from other platpforms? Why should i use the ipad mics to record samples? Stuff like htat. im trying to decide if its for PLAY or WORK! :D

[geiroffenberg]

@geiroffenberg imk not saying its bad, just want to understand the purpose. ok??

[Shellewell]

@geiroffenberg its for BOTH play and work. its an actual instrument, its functional and more expressive than a normal keyboard. It can be used live or in the studio the same as any other keyboard. Rudess used bebot app live on the 2009 progressive nation tour and his creation of morphwiz and samplewiz are effectively the same as that but with improvements in actual usefulness.

[geiroffenberg]

@Shellewell i must disagree with you on the expressiveness part. The ipad touchscreen isn't actually even close to even a normal keyboard when it comes to keypressure! So you can drag your finger up to change timbre instead of using a midi wheel or foot pedal. That doesnt make it more expressive! But seriously, i understand that it's an instrument but is anyone actyually using ipad as an instrument for real? i never seen anyone so....

[geiroffenberg]

By the way, the IPAD that is used in this video has NO keypressure response whatspever, no mod wheels or pedals! How is that more expressive than normal keyboard hardware? Thats why every tone jordan press has the same volume. Yeah you can slide, but come on, have you never used a mod wheel? You can slide as much as you want and still keep your keyboard in tune. Its fun, but i just dont see any real use for it. ALso, i hate apple, so....

[Shellewell]

@geiroffenberg i think you'll find Jordan will be using morphwiz and samplewiz when he goes live with dream theaters next album just as he did with bebot before he made morphwiz. A modwheel isn't required for expression and neither is keypressure response. he moved his finger one way to control pitch and the other way to control expression like you would a modwheel. If you keep your finger in the centre of the key you'll be in tune so no problems there and pedals are hardly important but if...

[geiroffenberg]

@Shellewell i would really like to see that proffessional keyboardist that doesnt thin key pressure response is important for expressiveness. It means every key pressed is in exactly the same sound volume, just like it is in this demo. I certianly don't think it is not important, lol!

[Shellewell]

@geiroffenberg you consider pedals to be necessary for expression which they are not who is to say you can't plug it through one? Also i would be highly surprised if Rudess hasn't recorded with morphwiz on the new theater album, he did after all design it to be a USEFUL app which can be used on stage and in recording in much the same way as a continuum just with only the 2 dimensions of expression rather than 3

[geiroffenberg]

@Shellewell Well, im sure you can find a way to plug in pedals and add mod wheels or whatever, but then WHY would i play on an ipad when i could play on a 88 key professional keyboard? You realize that most things jordan or any other keyboardist play on a keyboard is impossible to play on an ipad, because of the lack of range, the lack of ANY keypressure response and the lack of pedals (which IS very important because it controls the note on note off midi signals. Without it its only stakato)

[Shellewell]

@geiroffenberg (by means of proof, i have seen Rudess use his iphone as an instrument live with my own eyes and if you look at all of his videos about morphwiz he explains in full what makes it good and useful as an instrument.) The surface of the ipad is a really interesting medium for playing keboards, wether you like apple or not

[geiroffenberg]

@Shellewell yeah, but not like a serious isntrument. If he pleys a concert using the ipad and never a keyboard, then we can talk, but that wont happen. And its not surprising he demonstrates his OWN commercial app by doing a lead in a song or two on stage, lol. I'd do the same thing. I still dont see the usfulness of this app, sorry.

[Shellewell]

@geiroffenberg are you seriously saying that for a keyboard to be professional it has to be able to thake the place of something like a workstation? I have a moog, all that does is mono synth, i wouldn't use that live with nothing else just as i wouldn't use an ipad live without anything else, are you saying a moog is unprofessional? or a hammond organ or a mellotron? Just because its not a huge keyboard doesn't mean its useful and can work really well live and in the studio.

[Shellewell]

@geiroffenberg don't judge professionalism by wether you can play a full concert on the one keyboard, its not about it replacing full keyboards, its about it being used in conjunction with them. Also instead of key pressure there are other things to control that. Not all good keyboards have key pressure but they can all be expressive to some degree

[Shellewell]

@geiroffenberg As you will see from this video and the 18 minute one yesterday, it is a big app, theres all the funs stuff on the surface which is great for playing with but also can be used for some great expressive soloing live but you can go deeper and theres all the options and editable things to make it just as much for work as for play. just because something can be used for play doesn't mean it can't be used for work.

[geiroffenberg]

@Shellewell i know its a cool app, i have many samplers myself, i just dont see why this is more useful for real other than jst a cool toy on the ipad. I guess i would be more convinces when i see Jordan or others actually use apps like this instead of hardware keyboards etc, becausethey find it more expressive or whatever its not, trust me.)

[Shellewell]

@geiroffenberg i mean, just in what we see here, not only is it a sampler, you can play a jordan rudess lead sound and du huge expressive slides. it's almost like a continuum fingerboard on an ipad plus sampler.

[geiroffenberg]

@Shellewell i get it, but are you going to use it in live performances? Are jordan using it for that? These are just questions.

[vbdude006]

Please make this available for a iphone :D:D

[SneakehNub]

Maybe you can bundle all your apps together and make some kinda combo deal!? :D

[Oblivion1music]

what is the difference between this and morphwiz? I mean, surely one should just get samplewiz now?

[TheJamal723]

Wow! Well done Jordan :)

[progvincent]

Pigs on the wing!

[Irockman1]

The Snarling Pig? Sold. 

[guitarDouchebaggery]

"that's an important sound" lol

[IOofficial]

thanks for the pig! your work is really innovative and fun. When will the first Jordan Rudess Keyboard/Workstation/Controlle­r come out?

[RLetts]

Jordan's voice is legendary.

[xS1LeNtR3CoNZx]

Awesome, but just a curiosity, how much will it cost?

[lordcroesus]

More preset videos please!

[srvrocks82]

Amazing Jordan, is this going to potentially be out on any other platforms?

[dc17commando]

I would buy an iPad just for this. If only I had the money...

[andrewfebbraro004]

@dc17commando sell a kidney

[SUSAltd]

@andrewfebbraro004 Or two.

[s4mbor4]

I hope this app will be available for iPhone as well...

[WickedSabbath18]

I really want to buy it now because it has James voice now I can do a silly Labrie Choir 

[freetrader0000]

I love your enthusiasm for these instruments! Unfortunately I don't have an i-pod/i-pad. :'(

[royorock]
