Would've been the highlight of songs from the black hole. I like the pinkerton set we got but me from another universe would pick this over Falling For You.

Awesome! I just listened to this and your cover of The Futurescope Trilogy and loved them both. My request is my favorite song from Weezer's Make Believe: Haunt You Every Day.

Great cover! what program do you use for your midi? Sounds great

[@davidmckelvey2601]

How did you get that synth sound?

What amp settings you using here?

[@ilovepeeps1]

sir i know this is a old video but i need help howd u learn the synth part :,(

[@mjg5076]

Damn, this IS old :,( Same way I learn most things - by ear and with too much free time! I can't read sheet music, so I won't be able to help with that. But this probably looks harder than it would normally be because I'm limited to the number of keys on that midi keyboard - all the button pressing is me changing octaves if that wasn't obvious.

[@broganoconnor9127]

I'm so confused abt what tuning u used nd what chords u used 💔😭

[@adamwessinger4719]

Hey man! First of all, great cover! I front a Weezer tribute band and I have wanted to add this to our set. I already play piano for Pork and Beans, Perfect Situation, and Africa. However, I am a singer/guitarist and have little knowledge about how to use a midi controller, specifically in a live situation. I would love to use this to do this song and possibly the solo for You Gave Your Love to Me Softly (right now I play it on guitar). Let me know if you have any time to entertain some questions about your setup. Thanks!

[@mjg5076]

Awesome! I was in a weezer tribute band for a couple years, set included all the songs you mentioned. As for the live midi, I probably didn’t have the smartest setup, but happy to answer any questions I can

@@mjg5076 Any chance you can shoot me an email at [e-mail] and then I can write back? Would rather not send a back and forth in KZbin comments.

[@adamwessinger4719]

@@mjg5076 Just to get started with a few questions: 1. It seems like you are pressing buttons to change the preset sound of the controller. How easy it to do in a live setting? 2. This may sound like a stupid question, but is it just synth/moog sounds, or can you get a basic piano (thinking for Pork and Beans, Perfect Situation, and maybe if we ever do some white album stuff)? I know it seems like I should just get a keyboard/synth, but I do not want to shell out a lot of money since I am not really a pianist. I have a cheap keyboard know that I use for piano and a synthy string sound (for Africa), but I can't get anything close to that Moog sound for any songs in the Pinkerton/Songs From the Black Hole era (You Gave Your Love, I Just Threw Out, Tired of Sex, etc.). That's why it seems a midi controller is the way to go. 3. It seems like you have this hooked up to your laptop. Do you know if you can use it through an iPad? My goals are to get more sounds but also to downsize my rig from the regular keyboard to a smaller controller. I already use an ipad for lyrics, so I would love to be able to use a program on their and to somehow send it from the controller to the ipad to the PA system. 4. Can you play samples? I know some of the midi controllers have pads and I was wondering if you can record samples and have them play when it is hit. This is mostly for Africa. When they play live, Brian Bell does keyboard and plays the chords, but when it gets to that little riffy thing after the chords in the intro, I have seen that Scott Shriner hits a pad that triggers the sound to play. I would love to be able to program the right sound and to play that. Does the controller work that way? 5.Finally, I love those parts when the pitch swells up and down (you turn the knob). Does it move exactly at the rate you are turning, or do you just turn the knob and it does a programed swell that keeps the change at a constant rate (sorry if this is a confusing question, I just feel like it would be difficult to control the knob and that it would be common to turn it too fast or too slow, and the change it sound wouldn't be uniform. Thanks for any help. As I said in the other post, I would love if you could email me the response, but no worries if you put it here.

[@mjg5076]

@@adamwessinger4719 I'll keep the response here in case it helps someone else or upsets a more intelligent person so much that they give you better answers :) 1. To make sure we're on the same page, I'm using the akai mpk mini and I think the buttons you're referring to are actually just octave buttons. I'm dropping down 2 octaves to play the chorus since I don't have enough physical range on that little guy, but the preset remains the same. Doing things like this in a live setting just takes some practice, but I value compact setup more than ease of use. 2. The beauty of midi is that it's whatever you want it to be given that you have some kind of software and the proper library of preset sounds. You want trumpets? Sure. Classic piano? No problem. For most of what I did live, I only used a basic sawtooth wave snyth sound like you hear in this video - works for most songs like You Gave Your Love and Buddy Holly (close enough). You can also get other software to map any sample sound to whatever key/pad you want. This was helpful for songs like Thank God For Girls where I can hit a 4 pads instead of playing 4 chords to focus more on performance, or Pork and Beans to play that silly "ahh" sound that I cut out of the original song. 3. I connected the midi keyboard to the laptop via the standard usb cable that comes with the keyboard. Then I had a 1/8 to 1/4 inch converter to get sound out of the laptop into a DI box for FOH. Maybe there's a converter out there to connect the USB to your iPad? Not sure. The laptop was never an issue for me since I needed to use a keyboard stand for the midi anyway, and since the keyboard is so small I set it directly over the laptop keys so only the mouse was usable to change presets, softwares, etc. 4. Yes, covered in point 2. Keys and pads are the same thing - a button that fires off whatever you have assigned to it (musical notes most commonly, samples if you have the right software to map it). 5. It all depends on the software you use. I think I was using Massive for this, and because I have 8 knobs on the Akai, I can have it "learn" to control 8 different aspects of the synth sound. You get to decide which one controls volume, which ones controls the amount of vibrato, etc. One of the settings (that I'm forgetting the name of atm) is how notes transition between themselves in a monophonic setting. So when you're holding one note and then hold down another, does it change immediately or does it pitch shift over 5 seconds until it reaches the 2nd note? You can have a knob control the speed at which that transition happens, which I think should give you the sound you're looking for.
