Master MIDI manipulator Jeremy Ellis recently stopped by our DJcityTV studio to show us his new routine featuring Native Instruments' Maschine, Maschine Mikro and some seriously funky samples. Who ever said drum machines had no soul?

Jeremy Ellis sees far beyond samples and buttons as he has developed his abstract thinking about music and music theory, which has taken him to a new state of creativity where percussive sounds are tones and tones are beats, an truly rich unity of vibrations, arranged to deliver one unique rhythmic and melodic experience.

[@vvlvmusic]

utterly and completely SICK. this guy is beyond amazing. you don't even have to like the kind of music he makes, just watch his fingers dance.

[@Gocha18]

what i like most of this guy is that he has a great sampling selection, so he comes up with a great songs at the end! sometimes i dont even care he plays it live or loops it with some software, the point is he is a great musician, i'm sure he knows jazz and classic music!

[@jeremyellismusic]

Thanks for watching, y'all! You can watch a bunch of tutorials at my youtube channel, if your into that kind of thing. I know you are! Let's grow together, friends!

[@tarjiband9904]

Jeremy please please please do some tutorials man. I haven't seen finger drummer like you ever. We wanna learn from you if possible. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the outcome.

[@manolitos3800]

I feel privileged to have seen you live !! It's absolutely amazing what you can create !!

[@emmel07]

I've seen Lieutenant Commander Data do something similar to activate an encrypted self destruct sequence on board the Enterprise a ton of times. Jeremy just does it with style.

[@DPJimi]

[@SeifEddineB]

the best in this field !!

[@howdareyousaymyname]

incredible jeremy, cant wait to hear ya in dc next week. at first i was wondering how you got all the bass, keys and drums perfect per pad on the maschine. spent hours figuring out how to create such tight resamples onto a single pad and in the right order. then i listened to the song you sampled and was like duh...lol. at least i have a better understanding of how to create choke groups and combining multiple pads down to one.

[@PFantProductions]

I apologize for using the word "purely aesthetic" as you are correct, he did use way more then 16 pads. However, the way you could mimic this performance would be to use the 8 different groups and program all the sounds used in the performance on one Maschine and switch between groups while letting a sample chop/crash cymbal ride out to give you enough time to switch.

[@sirfest]

Just gotta thank you jeremy ellis for introducing me to Sharon Jones and the dap kings sick tunes man

[@Byakugan615]

Native Instruments ftw!

[@massivebeatzz]

amazing!...my compliments from Massivebeatz...this is unbelievable...i'm thinking Jeremy + Hancock + Flea + Victor Wooten + Marcus Miller is the 2014 all star dream team!... Not only the finger independence he shows, but also the riddim tightness! And the musical feel in it!... Madness resulted in genius!... Jeremy what happens if you play the piano? Just curious ?

[@Creatiopoetic]

really dope

[@slimansin]

sick with it jeremy

[@nikkotypecomedy1524]

The hardest beat I've ever fucking heard from a ginger ... Mad props yo

[@SirCronusofficial]

I'd love to buy this as an MP3

[@shinyless]

awesome!

[@matthewbouressa]

i wanted to sample this sharon jones and dap kings song, but you just killed it!!! im still going to try haha

[@rubikbg]

Some of the comments are ridiculous. First if all, why does every comment thread have to lead to a comparison with Skrillex etc - as it is totally irrelevant. Second, Jeremy Ellis does not only "make beats" or "selects samples from the best sample library", Jeremy Ellis is a profound and extremely skilled musician who can juggle with sounds and buttons/keys while staying aware of "the big picture" in music, the one that actually touches you as it is a real piece of art. Jeremy Ellis sees far be

[@museumoftechno]

At 0:47 the beat swings out and suddenly becomes awesome. So fucking cool. Tell you what though, this feels like smal room music to me - in a good way - the drum machine's like a folk instrument rather than a component in a record industry all of a sudden?

[@JAWDEATHSTAR]

He is just the best

[@Bashanvibe]

his hands got a mind of its own!!!

[@pekkatheplumber]

w.o.w. first time i've run into him and... im speechless.

[@Jairaden1]

just bought mine!

[@wingil4887]

SICK!!

[@guneyozsan]

Funk the sample! What the funk is this! Amazing:))

[@anthonydiiorio]

Insane.

[@FuntCaseUK]

that....was....fucking....sick

[@Gshevsky]

@AcidRMC you can change the velocity in maschine to max + there are 6 types of "hardness" to choose in the software :)

[@JustReggy]

No Words...

[@kronk99]

INSANE!

[@bsresponsive1]

Holy shit that is amazing.

[@c23k00n]

yeah, rock on Weasley!

[@palewine]

So epic

[@millineachillz]

that's is freakin incredible....

[@brandonodell5910]

Bad ass disco style!

[@Mr1nvincible]

Respect. !!!

[@eforce1200]

This dude is on another fucking level. Like Dj Qbert is to scratching. Sick.

[@RebelBangBeatz]

ONE DAY!

[@新月-p9n]

so cool!!!!!!!!!!

[@RebelBangBeatz]

Genius!!!

[@thatsahughjass]

Wow!

[@gfunkonthecheesetree]

Thanks for confirming! I have always thought he was using MIDI mode but in MIDI mode the pad sensitivity is off. I have tried many tweaks to get the pad sensitivity to match the control sensitivity but never got close.

[@TheProfessionalPiano]

It's so great to watch Jeremy Ellis, he plays machine, and the sound and the perfomence is very cool. It's not anything like a grueling Dubstep music that everyone can.

[@hejenoge]

Finally there's ause for the Mikro

[@pyteur34]

Need to reproduce this for the Novation Launchpad ! every help with the samples and drum rack are welcome ;)

[@cultsphere]

Can't you get this in a mp3 file? Really like it!

[@zyvoxid]

O M G This guy is a GOD

[@00010075]

that was TOO RAW!

[@aldengroves5193]

I expect it's just a small loop that increases and pitch (and rate) as he turns the knob. You could achieve a similar effect in most samplers by automating the transposition of the loop up over time. The sample increases in pitch by looping faster and faster. Then at the very end he pitches it down all the way, lower than its initial starting point, so it gets so low and so slow that it sounds like it stops. Hope this was helpful :3

[@russmeyer8981]

so utterly completely wrong hhahah

[@Dannysince1985]

That repeat pattern at 2:06 is smooth

[@xYggdrasilx]

you cleary missed when he used atleast 12 of the 16 pads at the same time as doing a full beat with his other hand. Explain how you can utilize more then 16 sounds at once on a pad with only 16 buttons? Also how would you arrange them so that was possible as well?... I think there is a very good reason he used two maschines. 1:20 is when he starts using more pads then one maschine can offer....for reference

[@nicksaligoe4864]

@gmid24 it's Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings record... can't think of the title off the top of my head though.

[@MLHeavyInd]

That's bad ass!!!!

[@leandromichel86]

LIKE A BOSS

[@TheProfessionalPiano]

he is the best

[@YoshiGoliat]

So many single minded people commenting this video. Arab muzik- Live performer (hip hop) Skrillex - Producer/Musician and semi-live performer (dubstep) Jeremy Ellis - Live performer and Musician (Every genre) They are all good, to different people with different interests. That doesn't mean to bash on the one thats not of your interest. Saying "Skrillex or arab muzik is better" just shows what music you like. If you don't like this, then you don't appreciate music and you're probably a trendy.

[@Timmmmay86]

this guy is too good

[@ForcesAndCrosses]

Dang, Ellis is a boss!

[@Anthony-ym6iz]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Oscar230]

He knows his shit! reeeally well!
