Jordan Rudess - Korg Oasys pt.1

Jordan playing and showing this awesome instrument

[@Daver869]

I really want this instrument. I can already imagine all the endless years I would spend locked in my room just playing this....

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

And?do you have the Oasys?😉

[@justinsayswtf]

5:45 casually jumps in to one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard lol

[@petruccirocks02]

Jordan's amazing. Man, he really is the epitome of someone that's mastered his instrument. That Oasys kicks ass.

[@guitaral]

Wow, looks like a great instrument. Very Expressive - it brings the keyboard to life that little bit more!

[@nymetsman321]

ahhhhhhhh thank you so much i went through all of there cd's last night trying to find it but i didn't listen to this song that long... just like the first 2 minutes of that whole 24 minutes and of course a minute later it came in with that part... thanks again

[@Viewindo]

Well put. To put it to those that don't play Keys, all that needs to be said is "Take one of the best keyboardists in the world, this is his instrument of choice."

[@anstonian]

Perfect demo. This is by far, the best demo, on you tube. Everything is explained clearly, very informative. Unfortunately, I can't afford one yet. Sounds great, Brilliant keyboard player. many thanx for posting.

[@ditroiamusic]

It's really cool hearing all these DT parts solo!

[@cristianoelectone]

Jordan Rudess and Oasys: Incredible !!

[@TheGilounet]

Great playing, Great sounding

[@KingLarsus]

Hell yeah, this awesome video was uploaded on my birthday =D

[@voltaspeeder17]

Woow. Just awesome. He has really mastered this keyboard :)

[@MupNaz]

Ofcourse, he's one of the most respected keyboard players ever, so it's a great deal for Korg to have him talk so well about their products;). He also does the same thing for Roland btw:b

[@aJazzcat]

lovely bit of Octavarium there ^^ amazing keyboard...

[@RandomGuyBlake54]

Wow, my ears are pleased

[@heberaldazabalzamora]

gracias por todo jordan de lima perú....

[@garrygriffy1866]

I love the oasys I’ve never seen one in person and I want one very bad

[@crazyfurcow]

i really find the bits from octavarium and the spirit carries on quite beautiful - jordan is soooo good

[@leguitaristicfrank]

this guy is awesome. period.

[@mamedearte]

o cara é maluco....toca muito!!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!

[@sp4zzer]

@kodack10 It was made as a PCI card first, the OASYS runs a software implementation of the PCI core engine.

[@chalk]

iloveyou Jordan!!

[@DavideBertolazzi]

The Spirit Carries On part it's REALLY; REALLY, REALLY, REALLY AWESOME!

[@RyanWaite28]

Legendary Pianist: Jordan Rudess

[@liana.chawngthu]

He is a keyboardist

[@sp4zzer]

With this I agree. The O is very cumbersome to haul around. It does look really good in a fixed setup tho.

[@KhanSlayer]

What a hustler. I've seen him on the Roland, Korg, and Omnisphere. lol, on each one he talks about how "special" the synth is. I want his job.

[@Grefintiuk]

best synth and best player

[@Spermwhales93]

@yamahasynth Yeah. It was discontinued in April 2009, but you can still buy some ones new that are left over.

[@jamez123123]

brilliant...a roland fantom g8 looks good 2 :) but if this is THE keyboard, does it do bassicaly everything? could i load my own samples in if i wanted and use them? play mp3 files etc? thats what i need mainly. i use logic pro 8 at the momment to sequence and i have so many good samples set up on exs24 and kontakt etc...but want them on a keyboard i can take around! or just something which is on Par with it ?

[@blindscout]

I got Jordan´s autograph =D

[@top40productions]

@aafjellstromofficial Thanks, it's an amazing keyboard no doubt, but the time Jordan puts in with key mapping and layering sounds is really key (excuse the pun) I achieve similar results with my Roland Fantom X6 and Triton, and even the rack Roland Super JV1080 with a few nice cards in it too, and I just can't help playing my Roland JP8000 a lot, love tweaking !

[@SkeeterMcBeater]

Haven't cared much for Dream Theater sense I was a teen. But Jordan's playing on this tutorial makes me wanna go back & relisten for the keys.

[@stuartwilliams7371]

I’m very fortunate, I have 2 ( 1 for spare parts if need be) the Oasys 88 version like seen here, I love it, cost me a fortune and would never part with it. 😀

[@beefyboy09]

i hope santa gives me one of these this xmas

[@synastikki]

@Diablos199 yes you can... Actually you can do that on all korg workstations...

[@hedegaard8]

Its a warning label, that tells you not to expose the Oasys to shocks whilst it is on, or the internal HD could fail. You peel the sticker off after you've read it.

[@RediForKing]

This video made me buy an OASYS 5 years ago

[@AnonymousAppleIdea]

For my setup the kronos works perfectly. I prefer the fixed screen for live performances so I can easily hit the sound I need to change to. The oasys is better for studio setups in my opinion.

[@imthedead14]

damn jordan you are owesome

[@laserstudio1]

Hello friend, I would like to know if it is possible to have a korg oasys 76 and I could not find the play list where I can play several sequences and they move from one to the other automatically enter only grandma to help me.

[@greensmurf9623]

Wait. You're right. We need to petition Korg. The Oasys MUST come with wheels in the future. Hehe

[@djleo11]

Jordan Rudess - the best keyboard player ever

[@victormxpsk8]

The song calls octavarium in the final part you can listen to this part

[@XxFadxX]

woww.. really2 cool

[@brakkum]

its the sound of john petrucci's guitar string be attracted to the guitar's pickup due to the magnetism, that can create a little squeak or pinch type sound like that one you hear there.

[@furiouscake]

The end of Octavarium at the end was stunning, to say the least.

[@martinvigo8589]

Excelente

[@Diablos199]

can u program the joystich for the downwards bending on the korg m3 just like oasys? i need the same tunning as rudess (1 step up a full octave down)

[@RediForKing]

Oh man tha't awesome. The best sound i've ever heard in my life. But can someone answer me please one question? Do the KORG Oasys only have synthetic sounds?

[@woodenhoe]

0:01 Octavarium 2:17 The Dark Eternal Night 2:27, 2:43 In The Name of God 5:45 The Spirit Carries On

[@Sh3ba5843]

I have seen him use the roland fantom g8 as well. I think with liquid tension.

[@jani0077]

different instruments with different sounds for different purposes

[@synastikki]

I think that he has somekind of monitoring system in the room off camera... If you want to get a sound out of your board you need somekind of amplification wether it is keyboard amp or pa or a active monitor or something... I use just headphones for sound design and playing with myself or sometimes I use regular computer desktop speakers... with my band I use PA system and on the gigs I use floor monitors for myself and play thru the PA

[@maximmaunz]

I like to take the best of all worlds, analog, digital, and software synthesizers all have their advantages.

[@tham1chen1IND]

good keyboard and keyboardist..!

[@Galaxas0]

@bilbring Does your microkorg have a 10.1 inch touchscreen and SEVERAL forms of synthesis? I thought not.

[@NewAgeEagles]

TRUE DAT, i run Logic pro and just a basic midi keyboard and i can do pretty much anything.... i freakin love sculpture, it has endless possiblities

[@corrda1993]

Its not that metal doesnt need keyboard playes. Its that it needs more keyboard players like Joran Rudess.

[@prototypep4]

@exsequor699 Sound is the most important thing however so are looks and user interface. Korg have the best user interface hands down.

[@jajlay1]

Very ingenious ... I hope Jordan Rudess safety

[@MCCABEWORLD]

The KOrg Oasys got all sounds from drums. nature sounds till synthic sounds!

[@lostsoulsfuturekings]

I think I'll buy one once I win the lottery.

[@lordcroesus]

@ArtemusDelphus It's the final theme from In The Name Of God :)

[@leonardovmusic]

No doubt the Oasys its one of the most powerful keyboards out there. But the Kurzweil K2600XS is just as amazing as the Oasys (for me), maybe not visualy with the touch screen and the lights, but sonicaly.... its a joy to play. And a lot of JR signature sounds were created in the Kurz.weil.

[@grimlund]

@maddermofo Yeah. I know. Don´t missunderstand me. It´s not that I get depressed when I se him play or something. I love this guy. And off course I like to play my self...Mostly piano for me... It was more of a realistic comparison between this mans talent and mine:) I know that I can play and that I´m pretty musical. But this guy is an artist.

[@jantokar163]

best keyboard on the world

[@SpaceAudio]

wow!

[@ThrivingRockstar]

No, It has real recorded piano, and many orchestral instruments. It's amazing.

[@RandyLott]

The keyboard has became an expansion of his body, seriously.

[@cristian05101988]

rudess is the god of workstations xD

[@EnyoRo]

Acho Jordan rudes incrivel! Gostaria de ter condições financeiras de ter um korg oasys ou fanton g8 já que este não é mais fabricado. É uma pena. Só posso ficar com meu yamaha 520.

[@mykindom666]

I actually got to try this keyboard out in a guitar center. Fucking sick ass keyboard!

[@cortezforever]

I can understand you perspective. But do you know how many sounds the meko or neko comes with compared to the oasys.

[@blandopher]

@KhanSlayer he hehe.... man, to have his job you gotta have his skills too!!! all the best

[@modestvermin995]

why can i not find that song "sphere carries on" anywhere?

[@TomZentra]

It doesn't matter if you are from Norway or whatever country. The OASYS was officially discontinued several months ago. If you buy one now, you are buying an expensive orphan workstation. Either get something else, or wait a couple years until Korg announces an expensive successor to the OASYS.

[@Shabockery]

It's funny how he says at the beginning how he kept adding keyboards to his live rig, when in fact he added more to his rig AFTER his transition to the Oasys then he ever had before!

[@spwddungey]

OCTAVARIUM!!!!

[@glacialshroud]

I recognize The Dark Eternal Night, and In The Presence of Enemies...but what is at 2:45 ?

[@Hitchens91]

@novaprecog Lol yeah, I do the same by looking at Petrucci's hair length to see what year DT concerts are too.

[@sp4zzer]

They are not comparable. The keyboard is running software (only, no hardware) on general purpose platform. The history of the O is pretty interesting, going from hardware running by software in a PC, to software running on a PC built into a Keyboard.

[@bumsex4me]

playing octavarium at the start is soooo cool

[@MyzTiC44]

i know that... just wanted to say that a mac is a good alternative.... much cheaper.... the processor dont mean anything,.... but i thought/think that i can do all the stuff on a mac with logix, what you can do with the oasys

[@Shabockery]

Just as a follow up, J.R. is perhaps the most talented musician on the globe at this time, so I could care less if he had a whole wall of synths or if he just decided to play his iPhone by itself from now on. He'd still be the best.

[@44Bigs]

Listen to the Live at Budokan version Stream of Consciousness. At the end you'll here a weird sound, which I think is an error such as you describe. Never heard it anywhere else, though.

[@RandyLott]

Yes, you are right. All money is in shows. But, every little bit helps. I'm just saying they have financial stability unlike a lot of other bands.

[@PeteBlack7]

with what vst can i get the sound of 2:17 ?

[@TravisLohmannMusic]

can oasys patches be uploaded onto a triton extreme?

[@top40productions]

@aafjellstromofficial why ? because of the Triton ?

[@CarterFilmLtd]

that's the ten thousand dollar question...everyone is trying to find one... there's a way to get something sorta like it in reason with the combinator and a phaser

[@jamez123123]

are they fully weighted keys?

[@rantarave]

what do you mean an orphaned insturment isn't the K2600 or the triton an orphaned insturment does that make it any less of a insturment?

[@nymetsman321]

what song is played at the the beginning... i know it's a dream theater song but i just cant remember!

[@TristanSimon]

2:27 : Resident Evil Extinction theme by Charlie Clouser! I need the same sound :O

[@CollinGuitarStuff]

He should do one of these videos for his new Korg KRONOS!!!!!

[@UnforgivingCritic]

yes..,that's Razor's Edge..,the ending part of Octavarium.

[@posebru]

@ArtemusDelphus In The Name Of God from the Train Of Thought - Album

[@meshlife88]

Yeah. Still wouldn't mind having one.

[@TravisLohmannMusic]

the 2:18 lead that he uses, is that specifically for the oasys or could it be created on a triton?

[@S1kTh66]

@sirgalabadass343 LOL, and you KNOW that Rudess is capable of that. Man/Machine Wizard of Keys

[@ISAACHALLEY3000]

KORG IS THE BEST!!!!!!
