Steve Porcaro - Routing, Composing and Organizing MIDI

[@pedroberoes49]

This video made me think of how crazy it is that today you can have a whole studio with professional sounding virtual MIDI instruments and amazingly vast synth prosibilities for making great music from your own closet or room. Simply amazing

[@davidalvarochoqueyucra6940]

There is so much 80's in this video. Thanks for share

[@sadboi7537]

7:35-8:04 is probably the sickest on-the-fly jam ever.

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

One of the BEST. Still is. ❤️

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

How ironic is it to hear Steve talking about devising a “midi motif” that includes the 816, 15-20 years before Yamaha distributed the original Motif workstation.

[@N-trepid1]

Amazing.... such talent and passion.

[@jasoncharles9481]

and enough coke to kill a horse.

[@westbethkid]

What a talent. And either Steve really has to go to the bathroom or he sampled some Bolivian marching powder

[@SWilsz]

Is like listening to his brother Jeff.

[@devmiles]

now that is one funky beat

[@Luraka1978]

Get it? Yes, I did! Thanks, Steve 😄

[@galactagog]

[@Jellybeantiger]

Went to an Italian restaurant here in Carlton,Victoria,Australia and the waiter was a dead ringer of Sreve Porcaro lol,even the glasses. The food was superb also,hi to Little Lygon Restaurant.

[@theanonymouscat5062]

Damn, my boy Steve stoned out his mind.

[@enneff]

What makes you say that? He is very cogently explaining fairly complex technical details without misspeaking or stumbling.

[@daphnelightner6531]

Damn pesticides

[@billmcstafford1996]

@@enneff Yeah but the twitching is dead giveaway. LOL

[@billjim334]

Stoned on what? Coke?

[@justaname1862]

[@oholm09]

[@issiewizzie]

[@charisaxiopoulos9725]

I always laugh my ass when I hear the beat up from 1:44 😂

[@Millennial_Mike]

[@bigbear8796]

Does anyone know if the music present here ended in Toto or Steve records?

[@karlmoore6354]

I don't think so, just Shazamed it

[@widewatching338]

[@jenskristiandavidsen7946]

I know this video is about music nerdery.. But those sleeves....

[@windows5k]

What is he on? 😄

[@leepshin]

Most likely.....amphetamine, which is still the recreational drug of choice by nerds and geeks alike today....... not to mention the military and medical personnel on long long shifts greater than 24 hours. It speeds up the mental thought processes, drives away tiredness and eliminates the requirement to eat when there's a ton of work to be done. Obviously there's a down side to that coz if you've been on it for too many days, your focus goes to pot and as you can see here, you end up with ants in your pants due to sleep deprivation. It has to be balanced out though and taken only in moderation....which is what most idiots forget to do.

[@wackerburg]

The music of course 🎉

[@RjBenjamin353]

Hilarious!!!

[@adrianhalo1986]

Who is the ABSOLUTE SAVAGE who downvoted this, how dare u 😂
