Jordan Rudess and Jack Hotop play Korg OASYS 88, M3, M50-88 at Winter NAMM 2009

Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater plays an OASYS 88, along with Jack Hotop (Korg's senior voicing manager) on an M3 (with RADIAS synthesizer module) and the new M50-88. Not only does Jordan give us a master class on how he uses the OASYS with Dream Theater, this is also the FIRST TIME he showed his 3d video accompaniment system! (c) Korg USA, Inc.

Jordan, i love your technic, you my god of synthesiser live music :)

[@ihasakiwi]

you, my friend, have said it perfectly. i am a pianist who enjoys nothing more than to sit at a grand and just play away, but i have an m50-88 and love dream theater and shredding synth. thank you.

[@daeone1514]

The m50 is there too.

[@StephenWEwart]

Love the Oasys. Still using mine.

[@LeoCagape]

Snarling pig sound is a beast sound. whoah Dream Theater Rock!

[@TheAngelovenuto]

The Best. The Jordan’s groove

[@Kurotora86]

hah incredible :) can't wait to see how the 3D animation works on tour.

[@fradmuzon]

это просто совершенство музыкально-клавишной культуры.Браво.

[@German18DT]

Jordan is the man. Dream Theater forever! whooaa!!

[@MicroBuddy5]

6:10 I LOVE THE SNARLING PIG

[@Robbinsffxi]

Jordan won't admit, it's actually the Snorling Rudess xD

[@willdeburr]

I have a friend that has almost the same genes like Jordan his name is Andrei Diaconu also a very good musician , has his own studio been on TV and they are of course both AWESOME.

[@TheHealrod]

Jordan is like... the best and my favourite Geek EVER =D

[@RaghavMaheshwari]

love jordan and love oasys

[@winstonschwarz1636]

What a row!

[@TheMindOfPat]

I notice that Korg put this same backing track into the Triton Extreme demo package, so that you can pretend you're Jordan at home, even if you could "only" afford a new $2000 Triton Extreme, instead of a new $8000 OASYS. :)

[@jojosa234789]

It's on the album Rythm of Time

[@francis2626]

yeah..i remember him saying "in my world, everything is complex"..

[@Slashe50]

"Ra" was written in inspiration of Jordan's own life. Yeah. He's the sun.

[@stryker1999]

Jordan was invited to play on David Bowie's Heathen album because he's Just That Good. Yeah, he gets carried away sometimes, but he has very few peers. Jack Hotop happens to be one of them. Did I say he was just that good? They both are. ;-)

[@snuppssynthchannel]

Sad that The keyboardplayer passed away last year...

[@IvarFritjofHansen]

cool and awsome:))

[@andreassmidelov]

As far as I know, Jordan Rudess IS a classically trained pianist :P But fortunate for us, he switch to keyboards instead :)

[@UnforgivingCritic]

it's the same sound. depending on the synth you use.. not all synths are just the same as you view them.

[@davidbazomusic]

KORG , UPDATE THE OASYS SEQUENCER !!!

[@TomMacalisang]

don't let Jordan play on your keys, he will just destroy it!

[@umeandog]

Hope someone can help....Why volume spikes when changing sounds on korg oasys?

[@KP11520]

Does Jack have his own KZbin account? Jack and some members of my family go back from a long time ago. It would be nice to catch up!

[@НеоспоримыйЛгун-щ9к]

Что может сравниться с легендарным KORG OASYS?!

[@andreassmidelov]

Ah, I missed out the "The 2 Worlds combine in JR"... Whoops ^^

[@SlayerJab0r]

hes a fucking god!

[@georgiacopguy]

I wonder what Ronald Jenkees could do with that board...

[@StreamOfMetal]

Totally agree with u, im a classical trained pianist, and I love the fuckin sinth world!!!! ; )

[@UnforgivingCritic]

lol, use the shortcut, "i wish everybody of us were immortal, so we could enjoy DT music ever.." :)

[@DavideBertolazzi]

It's called RA

[@DTRemcoG]

But there are good reasons for it. Because a digital piano sound will not be as expressive as a good piano. A synth only has got like 128 velocity layers. And it just always sounds worse then a real piano. So classical pianists just choose what works best for them, which is an acoustic (grand)piano.

[@AkIChAn432]

at least for me, rudess is the best keyboardist, and ra is my favorite song from him so... if that is "crap" what is "good" then? btw.. i dont consider it show music, they do complex music because they know how to.. and they have fun while playing

[@IvarFritjofHansen]

jordan rudess plays serious music too, but in the music industry there most be show to keep attention to the audience thats why play those music parts he do. but if you go to his forum he learn you all he shows you in his shows on namm and on his consert. so good luck copy him, i have no luck, but i play on my skills

[@jeanlucchapelon]

Who is the other keyboardist?

[@UnforgivingCritic]

dude, I'm so noob if i start now I'd surpass Jordan for how long Tutankhamen is dead.

[@loadingfire]

He is a 'Visitors'...HAHAHA

[@UnforgivingCritic]

Jack Hotop dares to play at a DREAM THEATER level, he's brain is like getting raped 200000 times a second.. :D

[@synastikki]

but it is not a software synth.... Some players don't rely on softsynths especially when playing live. The hardware world has more limitations than the software world so that's why most of the HW synths doesn't sound as good as some softsynths.

[@chrisbDTM]

BLOBVANDAM

[@valleisetesdal]

Yeah, but we use something called "sense of humor"... Or do we??

[@robyartic]

He persists to play keyboards as if they were guitars....

[@lordcroesus]

Extra schmutz!

[@lovescarguitar]

sorry but as soon as i heard that drumset come it. it annoyed me and ruined jordans wonderful music. that snare bothers me.

[@neoseyes]

His playing is of no interest to me.

[@thechrisnab1009]

I agree... I understand he's talented but it's just not my thing!

[@noobsmoke261]

Nothing close to what Jordan can do with that board.

[@micanut48]

Similar turnoff for me.

[@DBNIGHT]

MESSY NOISE - TOO MUCH GOING ON - DON´´T LIKE IT

[@bobrobertson9547]

Lotta people are easily impressed by noisy 4/4 ear-splitting Rock shite! I'm outta here. Shit!

[@hannes1734]

Ok, listen to Dream Theater and then come back here again.

[@bobrobertson9547]

Listened to them. Copycat prog rock mince. Won't stand a chance in the EU. Only in the US.

[@hannes1734]

Skinny Bob Yeah, right. The EU will listen to shitty 4/4 Pop music instead.

[@Slashbag69]

He has like a grey version of my beard :)
