I've watched a few of your videos and I've enjoyed them a lot so thanks for doing them.

Something I have noticed though is that the focus (from a video perspective) seems all wrong to me.

The two most important things are the live video feed of you playing and the corresponding MIDI keyboard view. Yet these are both dwarfed by the, largely static, Kore2 window.

When you're not actually selecting patches I'd suggest hiding Kore and expanding the video window and MIDI key display.

Your suggestion is quite appreciated — it's something I might do (and have done before with more "polished" vids) in an editing program like Sony Vegas. But these videos are just meant to be made very quickly and shared the same way. :)

Conversely, more people have larger widescreens now, and there's something to be said about not zooming when needed if you can show both clearly at once.

Very nicely done...where do you live? I love to get lessons in person on different riffs and styles.

Torley, nice instructional video. I did up a piece I posted this week using similar techniques. I add one more to the playing style for strumming. Sustain pedal pulsing with alternating overlapping chords can emulate a strum pretty good. One thing I haven't done is split the keyboard down the middle to allow more parallel playing for strumming techniques.

Love this. I'd *love* to hear you jam on this instrument for a bit instead of jumping around styles. Especially what you got going between 6:13 and 6:26.

thanks for the info, and for not being a snob. i guess the camera angle is backwards? and why plaid shorts and tie dye, c'mon. LOL :)

Hi Torley.

Yep I can appreciate not letting a lot of process get in the way of inspiration. Your vids are great so just keep doing what you do :)

Thanks again.
