The idea of having the midi keyboard underlay would make some amazing sounding bodom style leads with the dual guitar/synth shred

midi life crisis ? 😄 i loved how you went all in on this one, midi is the rejuvenating fountain of youth

[@ryan_nstuff]

That's awesome. I'm in the process of installing a piezo pick-up and fishman pre-amp in my schecter. I'd love to pick up one of these fishman midi pickups but I'd have to know how well it works with linux(yea, I'm that guy). If it manages to just work as a midi device it should work out of the box, but if it has proprietary software to make it work it's probably borked.

Guitarists will do anything to avoid playing an actual bass!

[@treyxaviermusic]

I actually love playing bass but because I'm using a ton of different bass sounds with the same MIDI performance it's definitely better to use that. My bass is even RIGHT behind my desk haha, no excuse there

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

@@treyxaviermusic I prefer tracking actual bass too, but I will still use the piano roll to program MIDI because my brain works like this… “I am already here making the music, and if I get out of my seat I won’t keep making the music” 🤷🏻‍♂️

Would Trey Xavier make the same turn as Mick Kenney/Kordhell and turn into a highly successful EDM artist? Will the profits from it be used to fund In Virtue stuff? Will Faith No More give the rights to use the song Midlife Crisis for this series? Let's find out on the next episode.

[@treyxaviermusic]

DUDE SAME hahahahaha I watched that video sooooo many times

[@denniskielton2447]

Way better than most electric music, but still features the thing that annoys me the most about it, the boring but fast drums. If the drums were more varied and I hate to say it but “normal,” this would be siccccccck

[@treyxaviermusic]

Yeah I didn’t put this in the video but to alleviate that a bit I have a “probability” kit that adds some flavor to it at random. You can of course make the drums as complex or simple as you can play/program, but it’s a bit limited as a one-man band

You have something cool with this setup. Maybe you can try the boss sy stuff too. It might complement your sound.

[@treyxaviermusic]

The SY pedals are really cool but pretty limited compared with what I've got in my plugin library

[@urvasbethud8849]

@@treyxaviermusicYou are right, the midi capabilities are far beyond the boss sy pedals. But, it might add a nice flavor and the lead guitar sounds are great AND playable at relatively high speed. I would like to see you shred soloing a synth sound 😊

[@treyxaviermusic]

Thank you! You should be able to use one on multiple guitars if you get multiple pickup mounts and mounts for the hardware, the pickup snaps in and the hardware is magnetic, so you can take it off of one and put it on another relatively easily
