Steve Porcaro - MIDI basics

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

The Minimoog, the Linn 9000, the kX88, the Xpander, the TX816 - between my personal adoration of so many projects Steve was involved in during the 80s and my knowledge of those models, it’s very easy to imagine how much this video series represents my regret that I was not born at least 20 years earlier than I was (1980).

Bought this back in the day on VHS first learning about MIDI and using a friends MIDI studio.... watching Steve on Arturia site just now, his mannerisms are unmistakeable! Great innovator and player.

This is so Synthwave. Steve Porcaro was a genius

Hell of a drug

This tune he's got rollin' at the beginning is so cool.

If you put Steve Porcaro in a straight jacket he would be able to wiggle his way out of one.

*Simultaneously wiggle his way out of it

Isso é muito importante pra história

[@mercierjc2007]

Those warm and percussive sounds and tones are very similar and close to the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. That specific sound reminds me Tina Turner, Al Jarreau, Chaka Khan, Chick Corea and Stevie Wonder.

[@garrygriffy1866]

it reminded me of rocky iv

Would love to know what that MIDI router is. They don't make 'em like that any more!

[@BlakeFoster050]

It's a Sycologic M16

[@Cochese]

I use icm4+ as a midi router, it has a lots of inputs and outputs, including USB

[@oholm09]

[@eiffe]

Why is he wearing a tent?

[@rsherid]

What’s the song he’s playing at the beginning???

[@jaggass]

By this time CV Gate/Trig In/Trig out was long forgotten.

[@synthesizerhome2041]

no, he used the Oberheim DSX, this is a CV/Gate sequencer, no MIDI

[@jaggass]

How did he get the DX7 to work on the Oberheim DSX when its not midi?

[@jaggass]

Just watched another clip. Steve said that the DSX was modified to accept midi.

[@synthesizerhome2041]

well he also said he uses different sequencers for their strenghts, the DSX fits perfectly with the Xpander, that's why there are side by side

[@jaggass]

@@analogsynthplayer The CS-80 is a fragile synth. Lookmomnohands reviewed a CS-80 with MIDI.
