- Here is my Roland 4x4x4 Challenge. The point is to create a song in 4 minutes with 4 chords.
There has been some famous Keyboard players doing this challenge.. so I thought that even if I dont own a Roland FANTHOM, I have the Roland Juno 106, Roland JX-8P And a lot of Roland Boutiqes.. so I challenge myself :-)

When you added that second part, I was like "Aw, yeah!!!" Great job!
Thank you :)
Glenn Main! Wow, It is so amazing how you so seamlessly compose. The song was astonishing. Hope I get the opportunity to jam with you one day. You're so underrated! Thank you for showing in you work just how great the Keytar is!
Thank you so much 😃😃 Yes - Let’s do a jam sometime :) I’m ready 😃😃😃
Loved that!
Really great composition.
And you made it look so easy...
Thank you so much Graham 😃😃😃
Brilliant love you tracks. Nicholas
Thank you so much Nicholas :)
stunningly clever, and nice to see the actual and not the software version participate in the challenge
I thought it was a good idea to show the “real deal” 😃😃😃
Thank you so much 😃😃
I just found the challenge on Dr. MIX channel. It's such a fantastic idea. I wish more. However your song and the one of Youngr are my favorites
Thank you 😃😃😃
Wow absolutely brilliant! You nailed it in 4 minutes, amazing. I would love for you to do a studio tour to see some of your amazing instruments. You have some serious talent. Looking forward to more
Thank you so much 😃😃😃 Yes I will do a studio tour in the near future 😃😃😃
I like ur the way you Play music... U r very simple sir... Love u
Thank you so Much 😃 Less is (Gary) More 😃
Glen: it's a great little tune, and you did manage to put that all together ( playing wise ) within 4 minutes, HOWEVER ( lol), there had to considerable amount of time beforehand setting up instruments, midi channels, balance etc. and so on.....this whole Roland challenge thing is silly: who cares if it is done under a certain amount of time? the main thing, IS THAT IT SOUNDS GOOD, and yours DOES!!
Thank you so much 😃😃😃 Yes, it took more than 4 minutes to find some sounds😃😃
Some nice stuff you got there Mr Main ! loving you vids btw ! peace from the U.K. !!

Great Job man... and your studio is crazy!!!!
Thank you :) Yes my studio is a collection of my favourite synths over the years :)
Yeah nice man , sweet . I bet you could do this all day and probably do .
Oh yes :) I just love to make music 😃😃
Very nice and well done 👍 i love the keytar 😍
Thank you so much :) I am a keytar man :)
sweet it seam that the Roland 4x4x4 challenge is letting sound producers making good music with melodies in them that are really refreshing compare to todays main stream music !
Thank you so much 😊
MARAVILHOSO!! XEQUE MATE!!!
Thank you 😃😃
Great setup Glenn. I have a little Roland JDXi myself. I would say your 4x4x4 was probs the best I've heard. Ive found musically its easier to be creative when I have less gear. Oh, dont feel sorry for me cos I just have a little dinky machine lol. I've owned a Juno6, 106, Jupiter 8, Prophet 10, Ensoniq Mirage, Emax HD when I was younger. Well done.
Thank you Kev :) Lucky for me I managed to keep (almost) all of mine..:)
👍 awesome
Thanx 😃😃😃
Hi Glenn, what an relaxing experience, watching you getting this somg together :) This might be the most effortlessly looking 4by4-Video ever :) May I ask which loop station you are using there? Looks adorable. your whole setup
Thank you for watching Martin :-) There is no loop station in use here. Only the MC 707. It loops itselves while recording the tracks. I just set the numbers iof bars to loop on each track. 🙂
@@GlennMainMusic Thank you for your reply, Glenn. I just saw your sample videos on the mc707…interesting stuff!! Thank you.
Wicked stuff as always Glenn
Thanx man :)
👏👏👏 Amazing dear brother... 🌹🙏🌹 Hearty congratulations from a music lover...! 🌹🙏🌹
Thank you so much 😃😃😃😃🎼
@@GlennMainMusic Hearty welcome dear brother 🙏
Simplemente genial,incluso con los leves fallos del directo :-)
Thank you so much :) Ome of my favourite DM tunes :)
Hello, sir! Your performance in this challenge is so warm, soulful and amazing! Could you tell me what kind of hardware sequencer you used, and how many bars it can record for each part? Thanks in advance for your reply, and for this excellent performance!
Thank you so Much 😊 I am using the Mc707 as my sequencer. And it’s a 8 bar loop 😃😃
GO GLENN!!!! Awesome!!!
Thank you 🙏🏽 :)
Woow.... so great!!! Saludos
Thank you so much 😊
Wow! This is Fire 🔥
(PS what DAW are you using ?)
In This video I only use the MC707 with midi to the hardware :) But my daw (as you can see on my monitors behind me) is the Cubase 11 Pro :)
I like this 👏👏👏
That’s great:) Thank you so much :)
Glenn, what is the mixer box you are recording with? Looks like you are launching clips and mixing the various instruments. Loved the song! 👏
I am using the Roland MC707 as my “sequencer”. It’s hooked up with midi to the external boutique synths used for this video.
I just love the MC 707… and it has so many great sounds onboard as well, so I used external synths only for the purposes for this challenge. 😃
@@GlennMainMusic thank you. Appreciate the response. Great vid!
Brzmienie! Świetnie!
Thank you so much 😃😃😃
is your Jupiter keyboard segmented into the different channels? Because i usually need to change the channel on my controller to control the different tracks on the MC-707. Great track, btw!
Use teh auto midi channel mode lets you just select the track on the mc 707 with no need to change the master keyboard you are usin :-) Check this great tutorial for explaining :-) ua-cam.com/video/SfyU15BWAYE/v-deo.html
Hi Glenn, so nice sounding music you are making! I would like to ask you about the Jupiter XM? Why did you buy it instead of Jupiter X? And do you use Jupiter 80 as MIDI keyboard for XM? I cannot decide which one to purchase. I do not like the mini keys for sure and I have other keyboards I can use as MIDI controller for XM. But I am thinking that it must be nice to have all controls on Jupiter X and standard keys and not have to reach out when changing shaping sounds. I am not planning to use it on the go. But there is a price difference. I hope that you understand what I mean. What is your experience with it? Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you so much David :-) I was so lucky to get the first Jupiter XM that arrived in Norway, and the X had not been released yet.. But I am using my Jupiter 80 as a master keyboaard for it.. The reason also for the xm is the portability of it. I can bring this as a "add on" synth when I do gigs abroad..(well.. 2020 was not the year for that)... And its great to bring as a "workshop" with my Macbook pro on hotelrooms and other "Not-at-home-places". It has a couple of built in speakers as well, and bluethoot.. and it works great as a soundcard as well.. So for my use it was perfect.. But I also HATE small keys.. If I use it as a stand-alone add-on and play cords or bass with my left hand.. I often miscalculate the right hand because of the difference... So I wish for the X actually... but I will keep my XM anyway I think.. Yes .. I am a collector as well..LOL.. I hope that answerd your question David :-) Best from Glenn !! and STAY SAFE !
@@GlennMainMusic thank you very much for your answer!!! Yes there is always place for another synth! So I guess I will go for Jupiter X. Thanks again! 👍
metronome click suits the song.......
😃😃😃
Congrats 🔥🔥🔥🔥 can you describe how can you use mc-707 as a main sequencer like a center. I have mc707 & jupiter xm. But i cant use them like you :( i think you set up your mc707 to use jupiter xm’s all midi channels and all parts (juno106, jx8p, jupiter8, sh101, drum parts) So you use jupiter xm internal sounds from mc-707. Any easy step by step guide to use like you?
You can assign each track on the MC 707 to what ever midi channel you like. It also has 2 midi outs, so you have 32 midi channels in a way. The thing is that for every external midi/sound source you “lose” a track on the mc 707... so basically you just “change” the track with a midi/external gear. If you are looking for a “clean” midi sequencer I would advice to try out any DAW with unlimited tracks :)
By the way, the Jupiter XM you set the main midi channel, and then it will assign the other parts after that... meaning.. if you set it to channel 4 then the parts are + one channel for each part ;)
@@GlennMainMusic thank you for your reply. Before i tried to connect jupiter xm with USB midi to ableton daw. I couldnt set up correctly i confused.
Be sure to have the latest driver and firmware.. it should find it as your sound card to :)
When I travel I often use the Jupiter as sound card with the built in speakers.. :)
Make it a song please
Yes :) Maybe I should release it :) 😃😃😃
im down for the click
😃🤘😃
Masz w głowie - i pod palcami wrażliwość!
Aha :) I tryed Google translate.. and I guess it said something wrong 🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣 Sorry man 😃😃
Nie trzeba robić z siebie głupa. Wystarczy mieć taki smak muzyczny jak Ty!
? I don’t understand ? I’m not making a fool of this genre at all - I love synthwave styled music 😃😃😃
