[@manyhumbles]

[@patricksmith6796]

Sounds so awesome.

[@edwincancelii2917]

[@VibraphonicMusic]

Many thanks, Edwin!

[@edwincancelii2917]

Vibraphonic Music You're very welcome.

I recently retired after playing bass for over 30 years. Love the vibes. Have started studying on my own. What do you think of the MalletKat7 ?

[@VibraphonicMusic]

Howdy Mike. The MalletKat is very different than this...has its own feel. I prefer a real acoustic instrument. Cheers, Steve

[@harriheinsoo]

Blue in Green! :) awesome sounds!

[@TheRiotguitar]

Nice video Steve- great playing as always!

[@VibraphonicMusic]

[@stevecrowlersadouche]

[@drummerdemon]

Steve Shapiro can sure play the pants off of Blue in Green!

[@FALCOY]

it sound very like Mike Mainieri vibes with Steps Ahead.He apparently spent $100,000 developing his midi set up. Also I wonder why midi pick-ups died.The people at K+K said they were unreliable...Anyone?

[@kobylazar6611]

+FALCOY Hey, I spoke to Mike Manieri about his midi set up, check out the omega vibes pickup system, they are incredible and he likes them as well.

[@rongpockle]

Mallet Kat and Xylosynth do MIDI mallet instruments.

[@blakesorenson8766]

Hello! Are you using Burton grip, if not what grip do you suggest?

[@VibraphonicMusic]

yes indeed, Burton grip.

[@jeffreymellott9426]

Are those the K&K sound pick ups?

[@VibraphonicMusic]

Hi Jeffrey, No these are vanderPlas pickups.

[@jakehewitt8853]

So with the pickups, the resonators aren't necessary right?

[@VibraphonicMusic]

Always necessary for me...

[@abemand369]

Man Jaco's Chiken is just so recognizable :D

[@mickeyricketts6987]

got a full video for the song at 2:50?

Does anyone know what sort of MIDI follower program he uses? I'd love to convert the audio output of the vibes to MIDI to control my synths and combine it back with the dry audio. Also, I feel him on the smooth jazz thing, that was really another nail in the coffin for hard bop and jazz fusion which I love. I play in a jazz fusion / prog rock band (check out www.StarMindCeremony.com if you're interested) and I really want to incorporate my tuned percussion playing in it!

[@VibraphonicMusic]

Hi Sam. It's a Sonuus G2R converter. Cheers!

[@SamChaneyProductions]

@@VibraphonicMusic Thanks so much, I'll check it out!

[@romoloborra]

What vibraphone did you play? What brands?

[@VibraphonicMusic]

Yamaha vibes w/ Vanderplas pickups.

[@lindacaldwell9017]

what octave vibraphone do you usually use?

[@VibraphonicMusic]

That's a 3-octave vibraphone... thanks!

[@lindacaldwell9017]

+Vibraphonic Music Thanks so much!

[@stevecrowlersadouche]

CHECK OUT MIKE DILLON IF YOU HAVEN'T, HE HAS BEEN RUNNING PICKUPS FOR 15 PLUS YEARS

[@stevecrowlersadouche]

a good sample of anpther school of thought for vibes with pickups

[@VibraphonicMusic]

Hi Brandon, Yes I know Mike... and dig him!! thanks! -SS
