Remembering he started playing the piano from the age of 4...that's 50+ years of building those muscles and tendons in the fingers and hands. After 50 years of piano playing at his level...you could probably do that as well!
I have been waiting for this video for as long as I've had the MorphWiz app! I've been slowly figuring out the intro and this video will really help! Thanks for posting this JR!
Québec est une ville exceptionnelle. Québec est une province magnifique d'une beauté ahurissante. Québec est un pays avec une culture unique au monde au goût particulier à chaque région. Merci Jordan, merci Dream!
A captivating musical reverie. I enjoyed this very much and hope that it finds it's way into a major piece by Mr. Rudess. I also own the app that Mr. Rudess is using in this video and thinks that it kicks ass. Continue to stay ahead of the frustration that entropy brings, Dave
@samlietxh This was not created to replace the original in any way, but more an answer to the many requests I had to hear this section done with MorphWiz... I was curious as well! I think it turned out pretty well!
@guitarDouchebaggery Yes- I have a Casio Privia keyboard with me which is an 8 note weighted keyboard excellent piano sound (and others) and weighs 25 pounds.
Loved all of it!! Especially how you can reach a 10th interval on the piano. That must come useful when playing Rachmaninov! Cant wait to see you guys when you next tour in the UK
just bought it...absolutely awesome....didnt see the "octav - 2" preset in there but i am sure we can futz around with or maybe the wizard will be nice enough to keep us current with some more DT patches down the road.....absolutely the most impressive app i have seen.
Always a joy to hear what you do for the music world Jordan. Thank you. I will be testing out this application, and i'll see if I can't get a demo for our iPads at the Apple store I work at.
The Octavarium intro (even the whole song) will always amaze me. It's so wonderful! Thanks Jordan, that you actually show us this kind of things - you know it, but I'll say it again; you made my day! (Question: How did even create such an amazing intro-"melody"?)
tengo una ipad y lo primero que compre fue MorphWiz ... no he parado de usarla, sin duda la usare para mis próximas composiciones, Gracias Jordan!! saludos desde México !! /// I have a ipad and the first thing I bought was MorphWiz ... I have not stopped using it, no doubt I will use for my next compositions, Thanks Jordan! Greetings from Mexico!
Could imgaine being down there in the plaza and looking up and hearing such a beautiful melody! Not knowing its a Prog band but just staring up and listening to this for the very first time.
so this is the new upgrated version of Octavarium; sounds absolutely GREAT!!; I'll try to recreate this one using the iPhone, it's my new challenge!! Once again this sounds really cool Jordan...
i can only hope that i will hear octavarium in its entirety live one day! this is really cool. looks kind of similar to what you used at the beginning of pullme under in recent times
BEST EVER! Jordan you and DT are awesome. I'm sitting here reading the Lifting Shadows bio it's so great to have if you are a true DT fan. I love reading this. Funny thing is I never read ever because I hate it but I read this all the time hahaaa. Can't wait to see you July 14th at Pittsburg. Too bad you guys are only the opening act :( oh well at least I get to see ya! haha
BTW adding distortion effects to some keyboard sounds can increase the awesomeness off a keyboard setting used on a solo or just used in general in a song
Can't you see guys, it's just another portal for making music. It's not replacing anything! He clearly stated that this is app is for fun and it is a good tool for someone on the move.
Dude! How do u do a trill on the iPad? That is SICK!!! I have MorphWiz on my iPhone. I gotta dive more into it! Nice job Jordan! Love DT always! *Trapped Inside This Octavarium*
@JCRUDESS Hello Jordan. Can you please describe what settings your are using, if it's not to much trouble :) I just bought the MorphWiz, JR Hexatone and Bebot apps. Didn't have time to sleep last night :)
@ironwolg lol! Well, i'm looking forward for an iPhone....but not the 4th generation one. :D There is a lot of applications very useful if you're a musician..every time that i'm thinking about a riff , i have to go back home on my pc, and ,as usual, i forget the whole part just a few moments before i grab my electric bass, and it sucks -.-' I think that this applications allows you to keep safe "your inspiration",at least till you go back home!
Even with the "lock pitch" turned off, it doesn't sound continuous when you slide across the pad like it does on your continuum, more like you just turned on portamento. Doesn't this bother you? :(
@OfivetwoekVeeDee Gracias Tmb tengo reactable & SampleWiz !! así como las Apps de Korg .. y tengo Morphwiz para mi iphone y la vdd tiene buena usabilidad, pero comparada con el espacio del Display del ipad pues si le quita algunos puntos, pero funciona Perfectamente .. yo Te Recomiendo que la Descargues !!
@EricVera539 well yeah i know the 24 minute epic quite well, but im saying that the beginning of the song could hold up on it's own as a true masterpiece worthy of it's own place as one of Dream Theater's best, coupled with the rest of the song just makes Octavarium legendary B]
Would it be possible to use continuum as a controller for this app? I mean that it might be cool to have that graphical interface with nice colors and all but with better control of the continuum :P
This man just touches an instrument and I cry. Everything he plays is golden
He wakes up and immediately starts playin...
😂
Remembering he started playing the piano from the age of 4...that's 50+ years of building those muscles and tendons in the fingers and hands. After 50 years of piano playing at his level...you could probably do that as well!
Try searching it. It is in the italian store!!
"Mum, I want a continuum for Christmas !"
On Christmas : "Here is the iPad you asked for, my dear"
I have been waiting for this video for as long as I've had the MorphWiz app! I've been slowly figuring out the intro and this video will really help! Thanks for posting this JR!
Québec est une ville exceptionnelle. Québec est une province magnifique d'une beauté ahurissante. Québec est un pays avec une culture unique au monde au goût particulier à chaque région. Merci Jordan, merci Dream!
I can't believe there is an app as musical as morphwiz. Thank you Jordan thats the spirit of a true musician right there.
A captivating musical reverie. I enjoyed this very much and hope that it finds it's way into a major piece by Mr. Rudess. I also own the app that Mr. Rudess is using in this video and thinks that it kicks ass.

Wicked JR, just awesome.
And a hell of a hotel view too.
Greetings from Mexico, come back soon!
@guitarDouchebaggery Yes- I have a Casio Privia keyboard with me which is an 8 note weighted keyboard excellent piano sound (and others) and weighs 25 pounds.
@bunnyannihilator89 Hello?? Its not supposed to replace the Continuum!! Its just a fun/musical demo of my app and a little of its capabilities.
I hope the hotel has special rooms with sound isolation for people like him. I love this song!
Best song in history...played in the best music app in history.
信じられないうまさ。 How incredible he is! From Japan
@OsirisDunmer667 Dont feel sorry. Feel happy. His instrument is a significant creation in the development of modern electronic instruments.....
Loved all of it!! Especially how you can reach a 10th interval on the piano. That must come useful when playing Rachmaninov!
Cant wait to see you guys when you next tour in the UK
@Narfmaster No it won't replace. Not meant to...
@pcgam3r666 Available now
just bought it...absolutely awesome....didnt see the "octav - 2" preset in there but i am sure we can futz around with or maybe the wizard will be nice enough to keep us current with some more DT patches down the road.....absolutely the most impressive app i have seen.
Great vid of my favorite DT song!!!
Thanks for putting Morphwiz to the iPhone... def the best music app available!!

@ironwolg not quite.
That is too cool, Jordan! I want it now just so I can give this a shot.
so this is the new upgrated version of Octavarium; sounds absolutely GREAT!!; I'll try to recreate this one using the iPhone, it's my new challenge!! Once again this sounds really cool Jordan...
Gracias por crear tan buena App, encerrado todo el día en casa ahora!! Gracias Jordan God Rudess!
i can only hope that i will hear octavarium in its entirety live one day! this is really cool. looks kind of similar to what you used at the beginning of pullme under in recent times

Rudess you're pure inspiration! congratulations!
Very good Rudess.. Congratulations. im From Brazil and you are the best !!!
Knew that this would be done sometime! T'was awesome!

Thanks for coming to the quebec summer festival we had a great time!
BEST EVER! Jordan you and DT are awesome. I'm sitting here reading the Lifting Shadows bio it's so great to have if you are a true DT fan. I love reading this.

that's why i love prog, you are a genious Jordan!!!
@TheBarrelMan2 Good idea....
And that's why JC is one of the most talented prog keyboardists...in the history of prog
Such a cool t-shirt JR :D
felicidades!!!!!,,,mucha inspiracion me haces con tus adelantos y tu musica y la manera de ver las composicion!!!,,,gracias!!!
BTW adding distortion effects to some keyboard sounds can increase the awesomeness off a keyboard setting used on a solo or just used in general in a song
Oh that was so amazing! Please do more videos playing DT songs in MorphWiz... they sound so different and yet so nice =)
this Intro is magic !!!
He is a wizard ! :D
JORDAN and Ocatavarium are unique and inseparable
This is awesome! DT reimagined on Morphwiz would be a great next solo album!
very amazing that octavarium intro
but i hope the continuum wont go away
rock on!
THIS IS FREAKIN AMAZING!!! Well done man, awesome beard by the way!
I can honestly say that my love for the ipad and Jordan has just increased...by like a thousand percent ^^
Haven't noticed that Jordan can actually reach from F to G# !!!!
those are such big hands!!!! that's the secret of his awesomeness !!!
thanks JR I gave you the tips to play octavarium with morphiz!!! You listened me!!!
I bought an Ipad just for this App Jordan !!! i'm a keyboardist too. Best Regards !
Dear Lord! this is amazing!!!!
See you next saturday in Quebec City!! :)
and thanks for that clip !
Absolutely fantastic Jordan!
wow......I want one all of a sudden!
Does anyone know what model Privia he is using?
the music from MorphWiz ........so relaxing!!....
When I get my iPad for Christmas, this is the first thing I'm getting for it.
@TheWindWaker01 Yeah- moaning in ecstasy.
This is my most favorite DT album :) Please come to Kingston, ON!
Can't you see guys, it's just another portal for making music. It's not replacing anything! He clearly stated that this is app is for fun and it is a good tool for someone on the move.
When I wake up in the morning I have breakfast.. when JR wakes up in the morning he has MorphWiz :D
HEY! I have that same shirt and also in red.....the wizard strikes!
@David Callahan Uhhh...have you heard octavarium by dream theater?? Its been around for 8 years now haha.
Wow this sounds amazing!
wow, nice view from the apartment dude
this could be a song all on its own
what are the settings or the octavarium sound ? its not on the presets great app love it!!! thanks Jordan
sounds damn great... if i could afford an ipad I would definitely buy this app.
that was awesome!!!
nice, is it likely to be used like this live for octavarium or will you be sticking with the fingerboard for it??
Saw you in Montreal the day before. Really sorry for the shut down in As I Am. You were really good though
Wow!!! O___O GREAT Jordan!!!
amazing, love it!
Dude! How do u do a trill on the iPad? That is SICK!!! I have MorphWiz on my iPhone. I gotta dive more into it! Nice job Jordan! Love DT always!
*Trapped Inside This Octavarium*
@JCRUDESS
Hello Jordan.
Can you please describe what settings your are using, if it's not to much trouble :)
I just bought the MorphWiz, JR Hexatone and Bebot apps.
Didn't have time to sleep last night :)
Jordan could i have the presets for the octavarium style please
love the app play on it every day my battery takes a battering haha
@JkITZD Rudess, Wakeman, Emerson and Wright are great
best intro to a song
When the new album comes out circa 2012, I'll be listening for times when you've used your new little instrument of musical genius.
ok if Jordan added a some more distortion to that MorphWiz, then it would have sounded as good as the continuum does with the Octavarium intro
great one Jordan :)
@ironwolg lol! Well, i'm looking forward for an iPhone....but not the 4th generation one. :D There is a lot of applications very useful if you're a musician..every time that i'm thinking about a riff , i have to go back home on my pc, and ,as usual, i forget the whole part just a few moments before i grab my electric bass, and it sucks -.-' I think that this applications allows you to keep safe "your inspiration",at least till you go back home!
I miss this app. I wish I could still install this on newer Android
Even with the "lock pitch" turned off, it doesn't sound continuous when you slide across the pad like it does on your continuum, more like you just turned on portamento. Doesn't this bother you? :(
@OfivetwoekVeeDee Gracias Tmb tengo reactable & SampleWiz !! así como las Apps de Korg .. y tengo Morphwiz para mi iphone y la vdd tiene buena usabilidad, pero comparada con el espacio del Display del ipad pues si le quita algunos puntos, pero funciona Perfectamente .. yo Te Recomiendo que la Descargues !!
Pure Magic!

Hey Jordan
I was just wondering if there was a chance you could release these patched for everyone... they sound great!
Thanks
Would it be possible to use continuum as a controller for this app? I mean that it might be cool to have that graphical interface with nice colors and all but with better control of the continuum :P
I really want to see the Morphwiz in the next DT concert
really amazing Jordan... you could play Just Let Me Breath using MorphWiz someday :D
Amazing !
I enjoyed it mr.Rudess :)
Thank You :)
Please please please.. Give us Android users this effect. WE WANT IT SO BADLY!!
You should use the IPAD at one of the concerts just for the hell of it :) thats awesome
@JCRUDESS haha I'm sorry to question you :P looking forward to seeing you at worcester tomorrow night.
Is this app desined by Lippold Haken by some chance? :)
B.R from Norway
Will this be a staple now during live shows? Haha
