M4SONIC - Virus (Live Launchpad Original)

DOWNLOAD VIRUS 2.0 Project File & Sample Pack HERE: m4sonic.com.au/m4sonic-virus-p...
This is an original composition performed live on two Novation Launchpads in User 1 mode. The two MIDI controllers are playing original samples in a sequence to create the sound. The right hand controls most of the tuneful sounds whilst the left hand is responsible for keeping in time, playing a custom drum kit and various FX and vocal loops.

[@Sbriser]

Are you serius? With 2 LaunchPad? Give that man a Medal.

[@pogetora]

Kaskobi did it with 21 launchpads but only used about 8 of them

[@eddiekyk5481]

- jvill6Gamez - your reply was 2 years late... Probably he dead..

[@minimum05]

lol

[@VXFluff]

@jvill6Gamez This was during the golden age of launchpad, before that cancerous stuff.

[@prnothall9302]

jvill6Gamez What?. Only 8? What was he thinking?.

[@zorakandbrac]

7 years later and i still have this on my main playlist.

[@m4sonic]

Thanks fam!

[@Draeyik]

@@m4sonic I think about this song a lot. You inspired me many years ago to get into music production. Cheers bud! To many more years of making my cats go nuts.

[@m4sonic]

@@Draeyik Thanks fam! More to come for sure. Say hi to the cats!

[@EvolvedDinosaur]

Weird to see comments from a week ago on such an old video

[@volcomintality8638]

Recently rediscovered this song and yeah, blew my mind again at how good and ahead of it's time it was. The song alone is great, but the fact he did this live on 2 launchpads makes it that more legendary.

[@nezunskyfire292]

9 years later and this track still holds up so well!

[@ivandaniel329]

Yeaaah!!

[@aliez4720]

Yep, and it still up for long time :3

[@RogueRiderMoto]

yep!!!!!!!!

[@chiyukino]

agree!!

[@vazzyfresh1124]

Almost 8 years later and this still brins a smile to my face

[@arcthepaladin2694]

THIS is a launchpad original.......not like others and their shitty light shows and pre recorded buttons.....every button has each different sound...not some stitched up song just played on a launchpad with horrible timing.....THIS IS A WORK OF ART.....LOVE IT

[@shefbo9894]

+JOJO SISON *presses one button - plays whole song* but the lights though ;-; notice me

[@akashdikpati5060]

ikr M4SONIC is like the king of launchpads.

[@shefbo9894]

+Akash Dikpati I'm not saying m4 isn't good but I think sountec 1ups him

[@MelbourneBounceMusic]

+Iz Xer023 his stuff is fake

[@shefbo9894]

Akash Dikpati i could see that seeing that he doesnt release the project file

[@OmazingE30]

[@SkynetT-X]

Who's master

[@catchingstars7]

So good. I remember playing this endlessly on repeat as a teen, and now ten years later I still love it. I hope you're going strong. I will enjoy checking out your channel.

[@whatzittoya5035]

I hate that this seems to be the only guy on youtube that actually plays the damn Launchpad and not press a few buttons and try to dazzle with a light show. THIS is fucking raw talent. I can only aspire to one day be able to play something like this.

[@chillygames1368]

Monstercat throttle too

[@ChenBoi]

Yea but some people like Nev and Exige make extremely good light shows, not heaps of talent in their button pressing but you can tell they're very talented in making lights.

[@paulomilani5068]

shawn wasabi has more skills

[@SilverHawk575]

The mental capacity of this guys to learn all those buttons... Dang, you can see through this song that he has such a talent. Please upload more!

[@Tehnert]

When you programm something to your favor its pretty easy to know where everything is ;)

[@Narraeson]

DarkFruchtzwergLP Still, I'd imagine it's hard as fuck to memorize two 8x8 boards

[@Tehnert]

Could be, But it's like on a guitar where you have to remember for every string 'round 11 places where you find a chord, that you could need in a song (that means 6x11=66). same there ^^

[@retrogamednufipro1414]

I miss those days of music

[@Amor_noir]

I found you again after 10 years thank you this brings memories 🔥🔥🔥

[@mattrossi4049]

[@bedhead7566]

[@moriarkrux4579]

+DarkSkull It's only a matter of time before Jesus shows up with his holy water to melt all of us for listening to this.

[@stardustgamemasters]

[@artymess_7391]

It breaks my heart a little to know I wont get to go back to the good old days when I saw you release these after a lame day of school. Thanks for the work you put into all these vids, they made so many have such a great time.

[@systemerror9769]

This Song released 8 god damn years ago and this man is still replying to comments. I salute you, you absolute launchpad legend🤘

[@kgsolomanfivethousan]

I think this is where the future of music is headed. Not specifically the genre used here, but this type of midi control. With the practically zero latency sound controllers and amazingly powerful software we have now, anything can be produced. It begins with people saying its less than music and progresses to something more than music.

[@Josh-bb3xi]

That's deep, bro. +1

[@firefly2472]

Soooo, how is this future ?

[@alexsiswanto]

[@Mystical13]

Okay so this was from 2012 and i'm still watching this ! Amazing !

[@mateocortez9394]

Me too

[@daj8]

its crazy good

[@Jurmicc]

this takes hand-eye coordination to a whole new level.

[@TracReed]

Then you have not seen mania or osu or taiko before that takes some serious hand eye coordination and a lot faster button clicking then this, imagine this song at double the speed.

[@Xephentor]

Trac Reed Not really. I'm also a player of O2Jam and other similar games (Of course, O!M as well). First of all, rhythm game demand every player to have a really good hand and eye coordination, but let's look at other aspect. Rhythm game are limited to 8K (well, PSP hold the records for having 10 keys for a rhythm game), and your eyes are fixed to the falling notes (not talking about any other types of rhythm game here). Your hard is also fixed to the specific button that you have to push (As for me, ASD[Space]KL;). Launchpad are not limited in terms of keys (could reach to 128K according to the song that you're going to play), and the rhythms are all up to the player. It's harder to keep the same tempo without any cues or anything rather than just pressing the button according to the cues (yes, I'm talking about the falling notes). For short, you can't compare these two, as they serves different purposes. One is for entertainment, one is for real music production. tl;dr? just ignore me :D

[@Jurmicc]

Trac Reed holy crap!

[@TracReed]

pratama000 I guess most of the stuff you are saying is correct but he does not really need to look at anything if there is no like sheet that tells him what to click so hand eye cordination is more of a rhythm game thing and the launchpad is more memorization, well that is just what I think I might be completely wrong and sound like an idiot but I don't know everything xD

[@Xephentor]

Trac Reed Nope, you're correct. Launchpad is indeed, not a hand-eye coordination, but more like hand and memory coordination. And sometimes it's not only about memorization, but also improvisation (since you don't look at anything, you could improvise to the max).

[@KuruGDI]

This song should be number 1 on very playlist at corona parties!

[@jeremyloveridge1661]

9 days till 2023 and still listening to this amazing song 🎵 🙌 😍

[@glasscannon4723]

Nice one! Woo!!!

[@317andrew317]

I kid you not, this is the most talent I have ever seen on KZbin. Holy shit this is fucking amazing. Subscriber for life.

[@WishfulOnion]

Sonevable is pretty damn good too! Look him up! ; )

[@Pix3lP]

Okay, you don't have do be a talent to use Launchpads... only save the sounds on the Keys and learn the order. This may take a time but you dont need to be talented...

[@317andrew317]

Whatever way you see it, it's pretty damn amazing.

[@Pix3lP]

Yes it is. :D

[@korrokiaternak8655]

Pix3lP | Willkommen auf meinem Channel! Its ether talent, or a metric crap-ton o' well placed practice. Probably a bit of both, he says he has a background in classical piano... sooo yea.... Something tells me that the classical background helps a lot with making complex melodies, and other musicy shiznit. (my knowledge in da musics is at a beginner's level as of yet.)

[@joshuacastrejon8339]

We NEED Launchpad lessons NOW!! Its 2014 and Electronic music is getting SUPER popular now, you can get one of these Launchpads At Guitar Center, worth it

Every time i wake up, i play this music right at the drop saying "Breakfast"

[@m4sonic]

MVP right here!

[@mr.tatltael3550]

honestly what I love most about this video and his others, is that he doesn't program in some fancy light show just for KZbin. You can actually see what he's doing. don't need a bunch of lights going off to showcase your talent. keep it up.

[@criveanualexandru4233]

Finaly someone with super skills :D

i bet he´s good at playing memory :D

[@dankayn]

I was a kid when this dropped, social issues. Lonely boy. M4sonic inspired me to start creating music and meeting new people. It was the best years of my whole life. I remember those days searching "electronic music" and the first videos that came was always M4sonic. The best for sure

[@nikollarriva]

Tears in my eyes, again after 11 years! Awesome work

[@affhegeaagewagasd735]

Let's be honest, most people watching this are like: Ohhh shiny lights and ERMAHGERD EARGASM

[@pedretejb2492]

This piece of art is an essential part of my adolescence, so here I am again

[@Necky]

You with Nev were the reason, that I bought Launchpad

[@m4sonic]

That's awesome!! And you are the reason we keep doing this 💙

[@WeasleFireable]

Absolute banger for my childhood memories a decade ago.

[@Alanj2007Games]

0:16 It feels like he doing "What Does The Fox Say" remix but "What Does The Fox Says" released 4 months ago and this released 2 years ago

[@loganbutler8101]

Kilian Schwan Actually M4SONIC created alot of the sounds that you hear on what does the fox say. He was jamming with one of the producers that made the music for what does the fox say and that producer took some of those jams they made and put them into what does the fox say.

[@AlwaysGamezHD]

dude... thats sicckkk!!

[@acromaro]

9 years later and i still remember when my older brother wanted this so badly back then, i used to watch M4SONIC's videos a lot and in general launchpad related stuff. Beautiful days

[@JABONOOOOO]

Sir, you are awesome.

[@knowledge3743]

this is SICK man don´t stop uploading dude

[@Kryexe]

Man, I remember adapting this to play with Soundplant, a program that let you assign samples to keys on your keyboard, back when I didn't have a Launchpad. Good times. I still come back to this every now and then. I remember this helped me sort of understand how layering sounds works in music production. Much love!

[@DODo-qj2qf]

It's what i call laucnhpad cover, not colour show,where everybody can play the whole song by touching one key, it's amazing !

[@fartbucket5856]

really who the fuck dislikes this ITS AMAZING

[@Bonksy42]

***** 1015 deaf people have disliked the video.

[@Toxim]

Darien Cepani 1016 fucked up people have disliked the video.

[@DjDeathtechno]

***** I think its really harsh to call people who don't like this song tasteless and disrespectful... Even though this song may not be their cup of tea, it isn't right to say those things about them. You don't really know them in real life so how could you say those things about them? (btw. i liked the song but it wasn't my favorite)

[@officialdayum4720]

Really makes my day to come back to this and all the talent you have M4SONIC.

[@judasblack5686]

I came back because you are still one of my inspirations right along with Kaskobi, Shawn Wasabi, Mad Zach, Niko Tantoco and Nev

[@omarsandoval9296]

i must be kinda hard to remember the sounds on the launchpad but this guy is boss for using 2 launchpads i want one so bad does anyone know where i can get one

[@thijsdegeus3867]

Google ith Then you find somtong

[@mrcreeperman13]

i really want one too, but they are kind of expensive, and i don't know if i'd be able to pull off good songs or tracks, practice makes perfect but still... i'll really look into buying one before spending too much money on something i can't master or whatever :/

[@bleh8789]

It is hard but the cheapest one (mini) costs like 150 bucks... Not much but i cant find a working project file! So yeah its not easy

[@SpoonerSpecter]

Maks Mamla you can get the full sized one on amazon for ~ $150-ish.

[@bleh8789]

The youtube music awards did not cover anything, only the "famous" people who make music videos that suck d@#k. KZbin needs to expand their horizon and look closely at different peoples music. I would nominate this for the music awards, BECAUSE THIS IS SO FRIKKING AWESOME. Also M4 is on tour right now and I got to see one of his live shows, I literally died.
