KORG i3 Demo - Fun with ONE STYLE CHALLENGE!

[@synthesizersspaceships9394]

This is the video I'll show people to demonstrate how the YT copyright algo is fundamentally broken. The grabbing hands grab all they can... after all. Thanks for the effort Woody! Love the Chan!

[@briane.paulson]

Actually this sounds great.

[@simonwale6993]

Thanks for this Woody, The real-time style editing is awesome for live gigs. 10/10.

[@AbdiPianoChannel]

In late 1990s I had Korg i3, dual keyboard ultimate stand and Roland xp 50. Same setup as here.

[@conan5885]

Great demo brother. You got me immediately with the Don't Dream It's Over solo. I can almost hear Neil's guitar riffs after the solo ends. One of the greatest songs of the 80's for sure 😄

[@rayer2001]

Great fun Woody, nice to watch something light hearted and fun, loved the Robert Miles "remix" segment 😉

[@fernandollombardi]

By the way: I just bought an i3. I started on a Korg X-50 10 years ago. I passed by Nord, Roland, Kurzweil, Cássio and Yamaha. I missed it and ended up returning home: Korg again! I love!

[@gameon2000]

I love how already the underlying background music comes from the i3.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

glad you noticed, i tend to do that!

[@michaelhehir5534]

Love your light hearted approach to producing videos especially this one. I’ve bought myself an i3 and it’s a very convoluted interface compared to other Korgs that I own or have owned. Your video has inspired me to revisit it and spent some more time getting the most out of it. Cheers Mike - Australia

[@WoodyPianoShack]

thank you, still have mine and looking forward to revisiting it too!

[@PaulLeahyChannel]

Think there could be a great series; Man vs YT copyright claim. Pick a song that always gets banned, and play it in such a way that it's still recognisable but you can post it....

[@WoodyPianoShack]

interesting concept... tedious tho!

Thanks Woody, you made my weekend complete again 👍👍

[@presskeytoplay]

Nice alternative version for Children. Lambada was a big surprise! I recommend you listen to "Chorando Se Foi Metal Cover" by Anderson Bizzocchi, it was a very interesting version to hear =P

[@kevinsturges6957]

Another great video, Woody. So creative and inspiring.

Not sure about the Korg i3 but I enjoyed the latin dancers at 12:32!

[@godzil42]

Best intro ever :D

[@godzil42]

PS: your "dance" impro is probably better than the original :D

[@JoseVGavila]

Good playing, Woody!. I always tend to use the simplest variation on styles and/or remove parts to make them usable without looking too unnatural

[@WoodyPianoShack]

likewise, stay away from variation 4!

[@Peter-W1]

Great performance 👍😎🎶

[@TMSBRANDA]

The new i3 sounds not much better than a "EK-55" 😉 I love my i1 ❤️

[@gameon2000]

A nice one 😂👍 of course it does

[@Denvermorgan2000]

I think these keyboards have two catagorys of styles you have some really good ones and then the others that almost no one uses that are just filler or to say they are there because you need to be able to say you have a lot of styles.

[@jaybeetdown]

Love the synth at 2:20 "Glide Lead"

[@vijaysastri8265]

Amazing 👏👏👏, more i3 video's

[@danielgfrost]

this is so funny ! lol

[@dykodesigns]

Pretty good version of Robert Miles, this keyboard seems to made for it.

[@rdoetjes]

Is it me or are those styles in keyboards purposefully, cheesy? It doesn't matter which keyboard you have it's all very uninspiring. The Yamaha PSR did however push the envelope but still not truly inspiring. But I always hear immediately when there's a 1 or 2 (wo)man band playing a keyboard arrangement and I rather settle for an acapella or one instrument session instead. But I guess there's demand for it, they do sell well. And a great video!

[@WoodyPianoShack]

thanks for the comment raymond, yes, i can hear the cheeze at times, but the interesting thing here is that musicians like you and I can spot it a mile away, but, perhaps more importantly, the general public love this stuff and lap it up! go figure.

[@rdoetjes]

@@WoodyPianoShack it shows how powerful music is. That even cookie cutter music, finds a massive audience. I too tend to pick the bar or restaurant with live music - and I’d it’s cheesy keyboard accompanied, I do pick it over no live music anytime.

[@andreashasenberger9516]

I still have the original i3 in my cellar.... And hey a Lot of those Styles sounding the Same .... 25 year's later! OK Not the Lambada!

Excellent demo. Will you be doing a demo of the Korg XE20? I would love to see what you do with it.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

no plans, but I'll remember your request if I ever get the opportunity!

[@weightlessliving9856]

Woody! Was that an Atari ST??!! Wow! Had one of those back in the 1990s. Built in MIDI 😁 Watching this great vid planning on buying the KORG EK-50 straight away. Subbed!

[@WoodyPianoShack]

hi, yeah that's from an old video where I was struggling to do some retro sequencing with it!

[@barrystevens3550]

Great as usual , but, where did you get that pedal steel sound at 1100 mins in? Also save the film scratch rendering, only I know what that is, and you used it randomly. As you can edit, just show it took nine takes, dont include them! Meant to be friendly constructive, and almost affectionate comment. Nice dancers also.

[@PearlPaisley]

This video didn't give me the usual goosebumps your videos produce. I wonder why 🤔🧀😉

hello fernando, no, it would have been better if he did it!

[@timweinheimer1]

Go Woody

[@SteveCaddy]

I've been playing a Yamaha EW400 for a couple of years now, and the one thing that drives me crazy is the lack of imagination in the 3/4 time styles. I really want a "rock waltz" sort of thing, but the closest I ever get is a "country waltz" or similar, but the percussion always ends up being a slushy brushed snare or hat that's too weak for the rest of my band to hear/follow. Any chance of demoing some waltz styles on various keyboards?

[@just_curi0us]

woody. im planning to buy this december. how is the fill in doing? is it bad?

[@jazzplayer59]

I've owned a Pa50, microarranger and the Beatles version...I don't know why Korg dropped the separate expression and damper pedal inputs...you made me laugh several times on the video.

[@samueladams7]

Are the styles, intros and endings copyrighted by Korg? -- Are you free to use them without permission, credits or royalties? Example...Say you want to compose an original song or arrangement and use these features, can you be sued if the song gets picked up and/or played in public? Not just Korg but other arrangers as well from other manufacturers...I've always wondered about that.

i don't have access to PA1000, my sx900 is looking at me forlornly from the corner. i don't know if a i3 vs SX battle is relevant?

[@johnbayliss4629]

I'd still be interested in a comparison with the i3 although they are in different price brackets

[@WoodyPianoShack]

@@johnbayliss4629 maybe that could be the angle inexpensive vs flagship

[@paulyllow]

Actually it would be better to demo all the styles in the special category as they are unique to i3. The rest are similar to EK50 series.

[@CyanSix]

is the 3i the same engine as the original 3i ?

[@WoodyPianoShack]

[@CyanSix]

@@WoodyPianoShack Thanks for replying

[@maximusheronimus23980]

Hi Woody ! Does Korg use a sort of algorithm like all Psr's? multifinger AI ?

[@WoodyPianoShack]

no, i don't think so, these styles are pre-programmed by hand.

[@vicky7915]

Brother I am using korg i3 manual 1993 could you please guide me how to set chords setting to give background ground music. It's being played with Rhytm but when I want to play without rhytm "just chords" on the left hand can't be Able to play not sure the issue or maybe I have done the settings out. So please guide me how to setup again.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

i don't have mine nearby any more, but I did make one more video with more of a tutorial style, so please do check that. hope it helps.

[@nbuehster]

How do you make it so the accompaniment on the left side, and the main instrument is on the right side? When I play a chord, you can hear both the accompaniment and the instrument at the same time throughout the whole keyboard.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

that's how it worked for me out of the box, but otherwise the different keyboard modes are explained in the manual.

[@nbuehster]

@@WoodyPianoShack I found out, from another video, how to do what I was talking about. Hold "sound set" and "split" at the same time.

[@arcanics1971]

This does explain your sudden interest in copyleft music.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

not sure i understand the whole copyleft thing, or where it fits in here, but ít's interesting to me.

[@nbuehster]

I want to know if there's a site that has a list of all the styles. I'm curious because some of them are based on popular songs.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

you can download the data sheets from korg with all the sounds and styles.

[@nbuehster]

@@WoodyPianoShack No need to do that now, since I just got this keyboard yesterday.

[@saeltielmolina8394]

1:37 Why? Is this song instrumental? It is good that you have forgotten how to play Children since that is how copyright would return.

the melody was copyrighted by some strange claimant, apparently.

Hi Woody, thank you for such a wonderful video, very entertaining, and shows why, I should never buy a Korg i3!! :)

[@WoodyPianoShack]

to each his/her own, i guess :D

[@kevinsturges6957]

Another thought: it seems more than obvious that all these arranger keyboards could be put inside a $10 iPad app.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

i've often wondered why we don't see VST arrangers. probably because you need a lot of controls & buttons to do a good performance. I guess an ipad app would go some way to solving that, but you can probably forget about the $10 price tag.:)

[@jakariopermadi]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@godzil42]

My worst story in copyright claim. I took my Yamaha PSS-390, recorded the demo song, because I could not find a good quality version on the web, and decided to share it on SoundCloud, to get a copyright claim on it. And NO, not by Yamaha. By a rather sh*y rap artist that made a "song" in the 90s where he basically use the Yamaha demo song from that keyboard and do little on top. Yeah. Not even sure how Yamaha let that happen. Not going to link to a KZbin video because I don't want to give that guy too much credit, but the Demo can be found in low quality on KZbin, the "artist" song start with "Jaakko" end with "hissis". This is a really low effort "song", should not have any copyright claim as I doubt Yamaha gave any right to use the demo commercially.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

yes, i've had strikes on demo songs and styles before, some muppet has usually claimed them as their own work just to cash in

[@elbinv]

What are u doing🤷‍♂️

[@WoodyPianoShack]

that sir, is a very good question.

[@Foxybiker72]

Woody the little box you connected to the keyboard via cables can I ask please what is that box and what does it do ? thanks

[@HighlandStudio91]

30 years ago,a keyboard workstation of this quality,would have made sense(that is,it is far superior to that of the old M1.) Nowadays,in the age of very inexpensive PC DAW's & advanced & cheap Casio keyboards,the i3 is to say the least, obsolete.Why on earth,is Korg still making such keyboards?Who buys them....& why? The i3 is neither gig-worthy,nor anything other than a total embarrassment on stage.Perhaps if the i3 had a usable display size,along with sound library upgrades in the form of a chipset that the users installs himself/herself,I could see the i3 having a place,in the music world.

[@stratcat4461]

The Korg i3 is an overpriced oddball. There are better choices for arranger keyboards.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

it is quirky, but i don't mind, at the price, what are the better options?

[@stratcat4461]

Korg EK 50 is a better, less expensive option, as is a Casio CT-X3000 and a Yamaha PSR E463. All three of these have built-in speakers as well.

You sit at the piano and you stand at the Keyboard.... You play classical music on the piano unless you like Elton John the plays piano with his feet. 🙃🤣😜But with a keyboard you just stand up and play

If you all are thinking that this keyboard in any way represents an Arranger keyboard, you are so wrong. Please just listen to high end arranger keyboards such as Yamaha Genos or Yamaha Tyros 5 or Korg Pa4x... Then You will be in shock....in terms of having very very high quality sounds and styles and their capabilities.... This keyboard is only and only for beginners. (teens or children under 12 years old).

[@WoodyPianoShack]

hi talia, a bit harsh, perhaps, but thanks for sharing your opinion. i have the sx900 over there, same sounds as genos, and some of the styles and sounds here on the i3 are in the same ballpark, imho. of course, the feature set and UI is much more advanced on the higher end models.

[@Talia.777]

@@WoodyPianoShack Dear woody, sorry if my words made you uncomfortable... I never ever wanted to be harsh as you mentioned .... But the thing is that I have had many arrangers from 90' as well as synth....to date Hence I have enough knowledge about them By the way please please get a Genos and compare it with your sx900. Dear woody believe me that differences are massive in spite of having same engine....

@@Talia.777 thanks for the update Talia! I mean you were being on the i3, not on me or the video! It's pretty amazing for the price. I think the differences in sound between Genos and SX900 is very minimal, the difference is in the keys & controls, and the genos lacks the speakers :) Thanks again for your comments!
