Does anyone know what organ set up he was using in the beginning of the video? Also, what Karma pattern or was it a standard factory preset? Thanks

[karmagician]

@my2sons8791 - It was the factory combi A-008 "Ham n' Pickle", which uses a layer of two organs: Rock Organ Overdrive and M1 Perc Organ.

Which piano patch(program) did he use in this video?

[karmagician]

@tsanibaytchev - I don't know for sure, but I'm going to assume it was the original v1 piano (that later became an EX-USB sample after the release of M3 2.0 XPanded), because this was shot the first year it was introduced.

whats the module at the side of the M3M?

[karmagician]

It's a Korg Radias.

Why are so many people argue about JR, DS, and KM? They're all great keyboardists in their own ways. We can't compare them.

JR is the one with speed, DS is the one with unique style, and KM is the one with sensibility.

I like Derek's way of being a musician. He gets to play with some great bands, but if he went to the mall or out some where, I'm sure most people wouldn't recognize him. He gets to be a rock star, but without the hassles of fans pestering him all the time. I'm sure some people do recognize him, but he's not real flashy or anything. He just looks like a regular guy. GREAT Keyboard player!!

[GCosimo89]

but the riff at 06.35 is a song or improvvisation? very good keyboarder!! and good keyboard the M3

[TheBrazenHell]

@logosmuziekfever JR might have a unique samples but DS nail it on any organ samples. :)

As a guitarist myself, all I can say is Derek is wicked on the keys. He is truly an awesome keyboardist.

[marcandre0011]

Derek is the man :D !

[MrItalyrox]

Derek rox!

@alexl1001

I like that too but probably Dream Theater wanted a more flashy rock star keyboardist and that's why they brought in Mr. Rudess. Even Jordan's Korg product demos are more funny, he tells a ot of stories and jokes. He's a real showman actually.

[DaXLAWS]

the organ sound is just amazing

[ZachValkyrie]

@fedalxis He means Kevin Moore, who was Dream Theater's original Keyboardist, the one Derek Sherinian filled in for until he was replaced by Jordan Rudess.
