Woah. This guy was my teacher in a jazz summer camp when I was like 15 and I always remembered how enthusiastic and knowledgeable he was about synths. Really glad to see him on this channel getting well deserved recognition
first time hearing this guy. fucking love it. its like a fusion of anomalie / nick semrad / lofi soundcloud hiphop beats nice to see someone kill it so hard in terms of demonstrating the performance potential of ableton with a high-end controller
Hi, Woody! Gosh, not only have u captured me as a loyal subscriber, you also take the time to search u tube for great gear to share in your future programs!🔥😂😂🔥
He’s not a genius. He’s a good player and understands the technology. But a genius? No. Genius is a word that is thrown around WAAAAAYYY too much for so many undeserving people that are simply clever and found their niche in a world full of lost people, most with no clue as to what their own purpose is. Mozart was a genius. Vangelis was a genius. This guy? No. A good and trendy player, but no genius.
Very Snarky Puppy-ish, Forq-ish, Robert Glasper-ish, Michael League/Cory Henry -ish that is truly great performance !! Edit* couple of AIR & B. of Canada spice here and there help too
Beside his playing... I like very much the sounds ... There's one sound that reminds me from a little synth back in the early 80' ... Casio Vl1. Beautiful presentation ! Is there someone who can tell me what kind of software he uses for the backing tracks
Funny thing is whenever I'm at a music performance i find the older members of the audience are the ones who are more likely to take their phones out and film
I would love to see one of these in a really nice grey or black color . And why is jazz always on offer ? I want to see a performance without the flashy keyboard player this is too stylish I feel like I’m in the lounge at holiday inn next door. 👽
Как добиться такого звучания?

its okay the world lets only us (the only level 7 jazz humans) experience J3PO jam. He really is the greenest lizard man in this world. He is way past either technique, or composing. The only leader in keyboard innovation.
How would you describe that very last patch he's playing on the wave? it's a familiar brassy synth ound but I'm curious, it sounds so familiar I would like to know if any of you can describe it better. Thanks.
Malachi Mabson thanks for confirming the truth that he knows Nord gear. Neither I or Nord really cares if he’s using Ableton fx to enhance his Nord sounds as the Wave 2 was created for the specific purpose of being able to edit sounds with the MacBook. All he’s demonstrating is how to use the keyboard for it’s intended function.
Anyone know how I, a small handed keyboardist, can do melodic runs like at 5:37? I see them all the time, but I can't wrap my head around them. My guess is that it's all in the fingering right?
@@NZsaltz Well it kinda does have something to do with hand size due to the amount of reach you have between your fingers. I realize now it's just a technical thing though that I need to practice. Thanks though.
0:27 Haha! Been recording my Nord 2x for 10 years over exactly the same dirt cheap chinese RCA and shit-golden jack pieces. Turns out i'm not the only one not giving a fuck about cables out there.
What a lovely performance! But I must say that judging by this video and the previous demos of the wave 2, its sounds are unimpressive from the default presets I’ve heard. The stage 3 though is still something amazing. I know it is like comparing apples and oranges, but having 1Gig of sample playback, seriously? A cheap controller and kontakt 6 will do 10 times more. Though I love my Nord piano 4 and as a professional musician uses Nord all the time, I just wish they would bring out a product that would truly dazzle spec wise- they are continuously behind the other major companies - Having said that, their pianos are the best sounding after pianoteq 6 and personally their piano action is exquisite. Major companies are now only starting to realize that software intergration is a main part of live performance - Having audio thru usb to main outs or a separate audio for software instruments will become the norm. Their artists though are always a joy to watch :)!
Xrex O I’m not sure what you are talking about. Read my very first sentence. I was impressed with the performance - I’m just talking from a general working musician point of view (myself) One instrument cannot and is not presumed to cover all sonic spectrums. Software development has come so far that it would be great to have an instrument that allows you to expand your sound palette by adding software integration. Whether it is to add Kontakt or other interesting software, just will make it easier and more flexible. Even the performer had a laptop running - we all use it. A lot of times you get book for sessions covering certain songs where you know which software instruments were used. Instead of running a laptop with extra audio interface, it would be nice to expand your Nord by running software thru it and have more immediate control over it. Actually the Nord instrument library is quite mediocre - I heard the new strings release and that does sound quite nice but is miles below the quality and range of Spitfire or Vienna sample libraries.
can someone tell me the scale he's using around 7:38-7:43? I've heard other guys do this and my ear just doesn't know what's going on here so I don't even know how to properly google/youtube it.
It's actually not in one key/scale, which is why it sounds so weird. It starts in Bb major, and then goes a half step down to B major. -P.S.: He's not using a scale, he's using a key. A scale is playing notes going straight up or down. A key is what a piece of music is in.- Edit: I don't know what I was thinking, he is using the scales to solo, and you don't have to go straight up or down a scale. Sorry about that.
@@bateimidrashnetwork well - to be honest, it was indeed an assumption based on two things; 1 - he is using exactly the same sound in an earlier released video, playing the same tune on a Prophet 6 --> its published on his channel. 2. the sample editor is a great feature addition to the Nord and the Nord itself was being demoed during that time and stage. Very much later, as more videos came up I noticed the arcade sound is one of the patches in the Synth, but still feel free to correct if am wrong here.
Will nordwave2 get the seamless sound transition feature update soon? I think this feature is very critical, and many people wish this could be realized.
Hi Nord, congrats on the great new product out. Having the NLA1 and NL4, Should I now consider Nord Wave 2 (NW2) as the successor of these products? Second is the A1 engine part of the NW2 Synthesizer and could I use the sound manager to also load sounds from my NLA1 and even the NL4 into the new NW2? Only thing left to add is the desire is to be able to interchange the beautiful Piano library from the Nord Stage series. Thanks.
Fantastique synthétiseur Nord mais pas assez mis en valeur par les démonstrateurs le Wave2 n’est pas le Nord Electro ! Moins de jazz et plus de Dub ou Trance ou Goa dans les démos.
Woah. This guy was my teacher in a jazz summer camp when I was like 15 and I always remembered how enthusiastic and knowledgeable he was about synths. Really glad to see him on this channel getting well deserved recognition
What summer camp did you go to?
@@NZsaltz Jazz summer camp
@@adisharr Thanks
@@NZsaltz apparently it was tortured, indoor sunglasses keyboard summer camp
The audience is now pregnant.
Ha ha ha! True!
first time hearing this guy. fucking love it. its like a fusion of anomalie / nick semrad / lofi soundcloud hiphop beats
nice to see someone kill it so hard in terms of demonstrating the performance potential of ableton with a high-end controller
If his ability came with it, I'd buy one.
Naaa this is the comment
The true Nord Keyboards Artist!!
With time comes change.. they're all Nord keyboardist in their own respect. Live a little and give a little grasshoppa
musikman337 no sir ..... Nord had artists up there who didn’t know how to work their gear. They should not be named Nord artists.
All this needed was a good demo and J3 delivered!! Im sold now, guess Nord Wave 2, will be on it's way!
buy Yamaha and actually play the thing
I haven't got the green 🤣
7:26 aaaand im dead
So clesn I know, I had to listen to that part a few times. Mmmm
He needs to be on Tiny Desk
damn, that was bloody excellent
Hi, Woody! Gosh, not only have u captured me as a loyal subscriber, you also take the time to search u tube for great gear to share in your future programs!🔥😂😂🔥

6:30 Those Nic Semrad Prophet-pads -- - -> the 7:30 Kiefer-style Rhodes - - > the 8:20 Glasper-style beat. J3P0 - you're the man!
Very Snarky Puppy-ish, Forq-ish, Robert Glasper-ish, Michael League/Cory Henry -ish that is truly great performance !!
Edit* couple of AIR & B. of Canada spice here and there help too
JaBig * indeed
Very much J3PO, I would say - always these comparisons with other artists...
Seeing him for the first time he's insane
I agree
Someone got they hangover glasses on.😎
1:27 reminds me of Terraria
lol water biome maybe
You don’t just need money for the gear. You will also need time for the skill.
Beside his playing... I like very much the sounds ... There's one sound that reminds me from a little synth back in the early 80' ... Casio Vl1. Beautiful presentation ! Is there someone who can tell me what kind of software he uses for the backing tracks
I love watch this J3PO jam out. He's one bad dude. Fr.
...the solo at 7:29 kills my brian..... :-) i love it !!!!
Ear candy with massive nutritional value! Shockingly good abilities! Thanks Julian! (and Nord, for featuring the best geniuses!)
Love the live tape warbles and ducking. Amazing performance and playing!
Идеальный пример исполнения на синтезаторе. Здесь всё сбалансированно - приятное звучание и наблюдать интересно. Лучший!
Insanity. Dope AF. One of my fave players.
Jeff Schinder is that you? 😁
Julian reminds me of Jeff. Two incredible pianists.
7:28 wow that piano solo amazing
Reminds me of Anomalie. Great sounds, even better player. wow!
andy25piano He is excellent but no way better than Anomalie.
@@RayyMusik They are both good and different
Careful with the word “better” when it comes to music
@@Gimbergp But I'm comparing the sounds and the playing of the same person. In that case I wasn't comparing it with Anomalie. Both are very good.
Best demo from any manufacturer......hands down dude killed it for his endorsement with ease.....WOW...
Love seeing some of the younger spectators soaking in the live performance instead of resorting to their phones to "capture."
Funny thing is whenever I'm at a music performance i find the older members of the audience are the ones who are more likely to take their phones out and film
@@nilskavanagh true
@@nilskavanagh the younger ones realize it will be on youtube later anyway. haha
Ok boomer.
BADGRRL I’m actually a millennial but ok. Thanks.
it's been a week since i discovered j3po and i came for my daily dose, 100% validé
Finished in the best moment. I wish there would be another 2 minutes
I would love to see one of these in a really nice grey or black color . And why is jazz always on offer ? I want to see a performance without the flashy keyboard player this is too stylish I feel like I’m in the lounge at holiday inn next door. 👽
This guy know his nords! 👉 he moves seamlessly through sounds and effects without thinking about it.
SOUND CHARACTERS
Nord - metal sound ... feeling solid & precise
Kurzweil - wooden sound ... feeling warm & natural
Japanese brands / Roland, Yamaha, Casio, Korg.. - plastic sound ... feeling somthing artificial
Is there a full record for this particular session? We simply need one
The real electronic music. Unique
This is the new sound of a future that's light wave techno meets neo soul that shit go
6:26 best section
Oh man.. to play nice keys music in huge crown on a nice Rayban is my dream lol 😂 That super mario tone is spot on!
that one kid in the background feeling it hard though.

Wow. This man is selling keyboards.
kinda sounds like Anomalie a bit
"Is he also playing the same Nord Wave 2 on the keyboard below?"
who is disliking this man...shit is fire!!
its okay the world lets only us (the only level 7 jazz humans) experience J3PO jam. He really is the greenest lizard man in this world. He is way past either technique, or composing. The only leader in keyboard innovation.
what an inspiration - damn this guy is talented
Very creative and out of the box I like it!!!!!!
Julian absolutely killin' it on the keys...
what’s the bottom board his playing on (Stage 3?)
excellent performer with a clear compositional vision - glenn gould meets suba meets...
Super dope!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How would you describe that very last patch he's playing on the wave? it's a familiar brassy synth ound but I'm curious, it sounds so familiar I would like to know if any of you can describe it better. Thanks.
That was simply brilliant listening!
You’ll notice that the crowd was spellbound .
There was no one leaving early .
So dramatic 😂
Awesome presentation. Not banging on the keys and actually knows Nord gear.
B S B S you do know he’s using nord gear through his laptop fx right 😂.. This is more like ableton fx “feat” nord.

Yeah, you could do that with just two fingers. Unlike spread out chords, that has nothing to do with hand size. Just hand speed.
@@NZsaltz Well it kinda does have something to do with hand size due to the amount of reach you have between your fingers. I realize now it's just a technical thing though that I need to practice. Thanks though.

The song is called "Dovetail" btw open.spotify.com/track/0IsoPkbMVISTVTP5LPzdZy?si=MpkW3HNXReeSLmsCro9m7g

@1:29 - the Nord sample editor is being used to play a sound from the Prophet 6 on the Nord Wave 2 - correct?
Why do you assume the wave 2 can't produce a simple arcade synth sound...?

Better than original one
What’s with the sunglasses indoors? I’d take this guy way more seriously if he took off his sunglasses inside. 🙄🙄
Would the fact that he's worked with Marcus Miller and is currently touring with Chris Botti help you take him more seriously
@geneshor1576 I know he’s a good player, but the sunglasses indoors is a strike against. 😝
5:57 = Travis Sayles
I just saw Joey Defrancesco, Robi Botis, and Jesus Molina at NAMM. Not sure where this guy fits in
