Piano Tutorial #25 MIDI Information "Piano Chords"

[Shadow8055]

I'm gonna get into keyboards, we have a piano at home that I can practice on. I've never really found a source to teach me playing it that got me interested though. I played the flute in a band in high school, i like to think i was pretty good. Being able to play multiple instruments interests me.

[Featureman]

That is exactly how to think about music. Do not be timid. You can play many instruments and you can have fun learning it.

[KarloR27]

Does look old alright but nice one. I prefer the normal pianos.

[Featureman]

Yeah. The advantage of the keyboards is portability if you play somewhere that has no real piano. The real ones sound better.

May i Ask what video camera and editing software you use? it seems pretty good

[Featureman]

The video camera is a Canon ZR500. The software is Magix Movie Edit Pro 2004. I will soon have a second tutorial about low cost video editing. Thanks.

great for beginners! good work

Hey! Great videos! I am a beginner, and I have that 88es keyboard. I really like it. There are tons of software out there with good piano-like sounds. You should mention that it's also possible to connect a sustain pedal to the Keystation 88es. And they are cheap.

thank you so much I could not get this info explained to me from ohter people . Even salesmen would never give me decent info on the subject, they seemed to like the idea of keeping women in the dark. You are a good man. Are you married?

[nickeax]

Great work mate. Thanks.

software virtual instruments and vst plugins are the only ones I've used with my midi keyboard. It's great for recording and video making, but I'd rather have real midi sound hardware if I was going to do anything live.

[Featureman]

Hi, I agree the best sound is real, reasonably well tuned acoustic instruments played together in a group. The good thing about MIDI is the ability to orchestrate a video or movie by one person doing multiple instruments and sound effects. Real instruments do sound better.

[ontrashakotra]

I meant midi hardware sound modules actually. I love software intruments, but I'd aim for hardware midi modules for live playing. Software is sounding great these days, and when it's midi, I'm not adding any air noise to the layers of tracks. That's good when I'm working on someone's already hissing Youtube audio like the April Ain't Fooling Me video I did.

Hi, I understand. I moved from CA to TN in June of 2006. I left some great MIDI modules behind just because I could not take everything. Some were vintage. The only good thing is they were probably getting to the point where I would have needed to change a battery. I miss them.
