Is the Korg M1 good for playing strings? I want that heavenly sound feeling for Slow Jams and Reggae.

It’s a shame they stopped selling the batteries for them and it’s a completely non standard size (why would anyone do that?) so after a few years of use it’s a struggle to find a replacement battery at all. For such an expensive product I find this shameful to design them to be disposable (for portable use).

للأسف شركة رولاند سقطت للقاع الى الآن لم تقدم اورج شرقي احترافي بشاشه لمس وحجم كبير مثل اليامها او الكورج او الكيترون فيوجن ❓❓❓

don't understand how the arranger choose the chords, please explain

It was great Woody! Thank you.

für diesen preis unschlagbarer synthesizer, traumhafte sounds. danke roland.

Awesome what's not to love about Kraftwerk played on harp and flute!

Jeff Lorber Fusion on Organ demo. Cool !

Ever thought of using it as an ableton project song pattern clip separation playback tool for use on stage as a laptop less ableton performance? Thing is akai mpc doesn’t do bpm tempo changes between scenes / clips where as maschine does and it has launch quantization (wait for end of bar before launching chorus after verse). And akai mpc is limited to 8 instruments per project maschine is not. Given that akai are releasing improved firmware they still seem to be behind with Ni which is why you have to buy NI derived akai mpc expansions from NI website.😂 in conclusion workflow could be clunky for song arrangement play back (its not an genos arranger) but until NI up the cpu and ram and more so akai i am going to continue taking a laptop on stage.😂

.. sold off my op-1 because my tracks were hot garbage.. I “lost” a couple 100 quid selling it but I bought a Force and Tb03 new with the sale money.. worth it. Fancy a op-z just for the size..

I have often thought that there is a possible solution: A chord mode which when playing a triad or more plays the chord with its bass, but when you play a single key, it changes *just the bass* to that key. So you could play a full chord, then walk the bass with single finger playing until you reach the next chord. Don't know any arrangers which do this but would love to have it.

So beautifully played!! 😊

you are great musician with a good taste i am not even a keyboardist and watching your videos

My Keystation 88 aged real bad because of UV light. In a non-smoking home, the keys became yellow. Did yours stay white? My unit was bought around 2015.

I think the Integra was their "best of" synth, I have a juno stage, XP80, one takes JV cards, the other SRX cards, the Juno D is just a reprogrammed version of their old gear. I suppose they're trying to hit the mid range home market with this. Apart from a colour screen, it offers me nothing new personally. Your a great demonstrator though woody. 👍

Hi Woody! A highly interesting video, as always! I still haven't decided whether I should buy a Juno-D6 or a Yamaha CK61. I like to play a bit of those classic crunchy organ sounds and the CK seems better suited for those kind of sounds. But the Juno-D has so much more sounds, including drums and a superb little sequencer that seems to be a breeze to operate. The CK is more 'focused' (for a lack of a better word) and offers none of that stuff. What it does have, however, seems to be superb. The thing is, I am just not convinced about the Juno-D organ sounds. It's really interesting, if somewhat painful, that one still can't everything in one instrument. Come to think of it, at weddings here, they will typically have a real band playing and the keyboardist will rarely have only one keyboard. They'll typically use some kind of a workstation, the Triton and its derivatives like the TR being extremely popular, but also a stage piano. But what about a beginner / aspiring musician, must we all have multiple keyboards? I mean, it's like this whole new world opens when you learn something for the first time!! Before, I used to think 'keys are keys' but now I know that there are several types of keybeds, each for different instrument types and/or player! Hammer action being great for piano but a compromise when playing organ. Everything is a compromise!! I don't know, I am humbled by getting to learn all of this but I have to wonder, am I the only one confused about all of this? Sorry for the long post!! Cheers - Tunka

Han Solo,s musician brother ! beautiful music

1:32 Thanks for covering the leveraging aspect. SO IMPORTANT for live performance!

10:53 Me: this sounds like Kraftwerk 11:02: yes this is definitely is Kraftwerk

Skille vilja veta hur många versoner av denna synth roland skapat jag äger en verson av den

8:29 Janet Jackson - Again😄

I just bought an integra 7 and I haven’t heard any of the sounds yet because I’m recabling the studio and I hate doing this because it’s a job no one can help with because none of the people I know have any idea what the gear in my rack does or how it connects in the studio and each cable goes from a specific location to specific destination that’s 4 24 point patch bays (24 cables in & 24 cables out) 😮times 4 yikes! Even though I know where each cable needs to go granting me access to all of my compressors, eq’s, preamps and reverbs as well as a 16 channel snake and 16 channel interface and now the integra 7 so I go through life with this complicated blue print in my mind every minute of the day and I can’t let go of the information because it’s stopping me from opening the studio but my brain doesn’t want to do more trigonometry/origami 🤪 the power struggle is real but thanks for making this video because I think the integra 7 will be a valuable piece in the studio but I’ll never know until I run at least 99 cables 99 cables to run through the wall, 99 cables to run If one the cable jobs gets run, 98 cables until I’m done 😅

What I love about Woody’s channel is when he plays these voice demos. The riffs and chord sequences I find so inspiring - maybe something Woody you could share with us sometime? That organ and drum arrangement sounded fab, as did the EP and bass sequence. The Juno-D is definitely a nice package and a great entry to Zen Core. Thank you again for making the video.

Magical as ever.

thats a beauty!!!!!

4:07 Mr. Woody, I recognised the melody at this moment and I didn't expect it to really be Spectrum by Zedd, it's good to see that you play instruments with music from all ages. I was thinking about buying this exact model of keyboard, because my old PSR-S975 is about to kick the bucket after 6 years of hard work. Do you think this could be a suitable replacement?

Hehe, I totally agree with you! I did the same. I just added Repro to these 2 because there is a little company, Soundforce, that makes a great controller for it. More and more, Hive is taking the lead on my side. Its CPU efficiency is just incredible! The Uhe brand has a few killer features for me: - the lock parameter. It allows you lock any parameter while browsing presets. This is incredibly useful to keep consistency while browsing presets (like disabling sequencer or effects). Where "synths" like Omnisphere are a complete hell of inconsistent sub-pages (like the keyboard sound mapping or MIDI channels affectation that is saved with presets, where technically you hardware configuration does not change). - no bloated products manager with background processes - NKS - CPU efficiency of Hive! So, definitely, 👍

The Juno D is a great product at its price point, 1/3 of the price of a Fantom. If you dont need all that sequencer stuff and analog modeling and just want to play and record tracks in your DAW, its hard to beat. Not quite as many features as the MODX+ but half the price too. In my opinion if you get great acoustic pianos, EPs, strings, woods, and pads that's 98% of most sound making. I find that manufacturers like to stick 1000 samples into a keyboard that most people will never use because they are too niche or narrow-focused. Id rather have 500 that are what the bread and butter of music making.

Almost like JD-XI, but a bit better. Would be very good, if pads, or step knobs can be used as a chord memory - for example, as it was on Korg Oasys.

So what we have here is Rompler in the box… Btw; keys are not after touch capable and forget poly touch for that reason 👎 All these sounds are available as plugins if you’re Roland Cloud subscriber… no need for crappy hardware 😉 PS; rather excellent demo though 👍

Maybe I missed it but I had real analogs and then ended up selling my HSdeluxe just wasn't the same. Sounded too digital. The presets might have been not showcasing it good enough.

You make this thing sound amazing! I got a Juno D8 a couple weeks ago. I'm not nearly as good a player as you, but working on it. Great demo!

Love your playing, Woody!

Inspirational has always... 🙂

Great playing as always, the harp and flute combo in particuiar sounded terrific!

I really like this format where there is commentary about the features and styles in between the “no talk” demos. I find the “no talk” only demos a bit boring and lacking context. We need to coin a cool term for this format. Something like “commenstration”? No that sounds awful… “Talk and Play” perhaps?

Another great video Woody, thanks. I loved that first airy type piano patch and the harp-flute combo was really nice. I'm going to switch out my Juno Ds 76 for the D series 76 note and midi my Jupiter Xm to it. That should be hours of creative entertainment💯🎹

Thanks for this awesome showcase, Woody! It's still rather confusing to me that Roland used the name Juno-D for this synth, when they issued a synth with the same name almost 20 years ago. I own a Juno Stage (from 2008) that still does the job for me. So does my XP-30. I think this Juno-D falls in the same category: bang for buck. If I were to replace one of them, I would surely consider the Juno-D.

I once had a predesecor of the Juno D. It wasn't called Juno then. But it sounded so thin it wasn't even audible in a live performance. So I immediately got rid of it.

Thank you Woody! That was a nice demo and finally got to listen to that awesome keyboard. I could never afford any of those pricey toys. But can enjoy you playing them. You Sir, are a pro!. Blessings! P.S. Would have loved a tad longer video for this one for sure. Worth it every second to watch.

A new Woody video is always welcome. Wonderful playing as usual. I think that board sounds great.

OMG that EP jam you did was Platinum Perfect!! Just needs some drums with brushes filling out the background and it would be complete.

Evident Enigma hint in the guitar performance. Nice! I think Roland has a winner in Juno D.
