you actually played the intro riff correctly holy shit!!! there are soooooooo many bad attempts at it it's great to see someone finally get it right with the repeating five-note pattern.

Thanks for noticing! You're right, a lot of people get it close but not right... and it makes a difference.

By far THE best sounds, attention to detail and alignment to original song .. 10 out 10 ..

WOW!!! so well orchestrated...thanks for revieling, a classic for all time

This is brilliant. Not only do you teach the actual (rhythm keyboard I guess?) accompaniment but also the synth effects. I am truly grateful for this lesson, thank you

The BEST sounding patches on youtube hands down! I dont think even TOTO play these accurate patches! Bravo Sir!

Brilliant deconstruction..now I've just got to try and learn it myself.

Hi David. I've just bought the Kronos 2 88-key after securing a new job. Play keys in tribute band in Genesisn't (we're on KZread). Time, setup and ability meant that I lost touch with just playing music. Many thanks for your videos; I'm looking forward to getting lost in some old classics with your help. David

Came across this by chance and am now learning it! Thanks!

Good demo. I like the harmonies and how you programmed it. I'll do similar on my XV-88. Thanks for sharing!

Muy bueno gracias por subir el Vídeo y magnífico sonido del Korg

I am totally impressed by the accuracy of your patches! Great work!!!

Thanks so much! That's what I try to strive towards is sounds that are identical to the original :)

Thanks man. You helped me a lot some doubts about how to play some parts, and the sounds he used on the original play. I have only a korg kross, have some limitations, but, guess I can find a nice way to play. Thanks so much for your video, you are amazing !! 🔥

Wich sounds do You set on your Kross For the combi?

Very good explanation and I liked it. The sounds were very good and authentic, and the playing excellent. Keep up the good work.

waow...cool tuto and maybe the best solo cover I've heard so far. Thanks so much

Awesome video! I dont know nothing about keyboard playing but i could watch this all day because it's so cool! Lol

Great performance . All the best Vladan.

You Sir, are one sick southern trucker. Annoying how you play and explain things so much better than any of us mortals would ever dream of being able to, and yet apologizing for nothing. Oh, thank you for showing how music can be done. Thoroughly enjoyed. All aspects of it. Musically, technically and the way technology can help us interpret old forgotten words, and ancient memories..... Hurry boys, she's waiting there for you..........................

Thanks, Dave. I had to learn this solo for a gig this Saturday. :-)

This is a very clear explanation. Thanks for that

I have no idea what you're talking about, but the video is still very relaxing to watch. I like it.

I don't know what you're doing but it looks and sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for posting.

Fantastic. It got me quite excited when I first saw it as I thought you were playing a Korg pa4x

Good rendering, most accurate posting I have seen. The mallet kalimba part is three layers and you selected the most relevant line to play. There is an interesting Toto interview in (out of print, unfortunately) Contemporary Keyboard magazine where they describe how they put this tune together.

@imthezongz

Yes, I read that interview when the magazine got out. So long ago... If my memory serves me right, when recording Rosanna, Paich and Steve P. hauled one of the 24-track recorders from the studio (possibly Sunset Sound?) to either one´s home, and spent the whole weekend honing the solo. But I really can´t remember if they did Africa at the same time. Someone should dig that Keyboard magazine out of somewhere and put a link here. :-)

Well done! I'm considering getting one of these. I like how you showed some "real world" applications. After watching you use the nanopad 2, I find that it is a "must get" for this instrument. Keep up the great work.

i have to say that this very nice work and a good insight. Thanks

Ur voice is real nice! I was watching this then heard u sing I was like DAMN

Fantastic job. Really like your comments and honesty!!

Great sound and tutorial Many thanks :-)

Oh dude, thanks for breaking down that 5 note pattern. Really helped

Another awesome vid! Thank you!

Thank you soooo much! You have saved me a ton of work!

Well done Dave, thanks so much.

Hey Dave, Great job on the Africa tutorial. Watching it saved me tons of time. Almost done with it, but you mentioned using the 80-90’s sound pack. Well, I don’t have that sound pack in my K2. The Combi that I had to build from scratch took a long time to build. For the first part of the synth solo I think I used 12 MIDI tracks to create the secondary harmonies. Sounds good now but if all the Combis are in the sound pack, that’s great! Thanks again!

Thanks, I'll check it out, but I'm happy with what I've put together. It DID involve a lot of time and work. Cheers!

Thanks for the great tutorial on playing this song. Unlike one other, I don't expect it to be perfect .. it's about the concept of how to play it and your ability may be way better (or worse) than the individual watching this. Thank you ! Question .. the midi controller with pads top left, what is it and how to do you program the set changes (combi changes) using it ? I've had a Kronos for a while and done it all manually - I like your setup :-)

Love the song so great vid! Now all I need is a... synth!

Even with the minor mistakes you’re still amazing!!!

the Best match sound EVER

Awesome!!!

Well done!

Very cool TY!

Nice video . I don't even play piano but it's a great song

Look at this dude playing this song without even telling me. :P

One of the best tutorials I've ever watched, too bad the video and the audio arnt 100% in sync, makes it hard to know what you're playing sometimes.

That's the sound!, awesome video. I'm uploading a latin piano cover of this one tonight. Just need to finnish editing the video> Kepp up the great work. PS I've subbed!

Maestro 👌😎

Very well done!

Five years later and you had forgotten to tell your audience they would need an expensive Korg Kronos to be able to sound like the song itself haha. Oh and splitting the keyboard and using key switches to change between voices as well. The layered flutes are in 5ths. I also recall the Yamaha Motif can pretty well do the same. Sadly, the Kronos is discontinued as is the Motif seems to be replaced with the MX and MOXF series. Great song by Toto and not overly easy to play as some chord changes are fairly quick. I did the same also and that is, programed the pads for the chords to play off the lead part and the little filler part.

@AudoraAudio

Жыл бұрын

The layered flutes aren't 5ths. They're 3rds and 4ths depending on the note because of the scales used. But you're right, I totally forgot to mention the Korg Kronos!

Would love to play "i, cant stop lovin you"

Hi Dave, just great! Can you explain how you did the triggering of the chords off the NanoPad2 during the solo? How did you program that?

awesome bro!! thanks

Hey Dave Champagne is there a delay effect on that marimba pattern at intro?? Thank you!

Very Good man. Thanks

Excellent job

Tremendous!!

Sounds fantastic. Can you play the whole thing please ?

Hello David, thanks for this tutorial, it's very impressive indeed! :) I've just spent a full three hours tearing my hair out trying to figure out exactly what the harmony interval is that's happening during the solo. Am I right in thinking that it actually changes depending on what chord is playing? Or is it a fixed interval that stays the same all the way through? I'm trying to learn it on a guitar using a harmony pedal - the Boss PS6 - which has a few harmony options, but is essentally fixed at whatever setting I choose (unless I bend down and fiddle during the solo) If I can figure out what the relationship between each note is, I can just follow your right hand and learn the melody, which I'm guessing is the high flute part. Does this make sense? I hope you can help - It's killing me!

Since I just have a basic keyboard, I'm having to do this the hard way and actually play both notes on the Kalimba and solo parts. I kinda have the kalimba part down (takes two hands, kinda like the synth part on Workin for the Weekend) but that solo is gonna be rough

Please tell me, how do you put this great original sounds into your Kronos?Do you changed the sounds with a footswitch too?

What is the config for the second variation of the solo? (flaute and marimba) in special pitch for each one

the sounds themselves, are simply incredible... a good tutorial for someone needing info about the various parts, however, I was hoping you put it all together in a sequence at the end.

Thanks! I was lacking, as usual, the left hand, which gives quite a bit of color... Was doing the lazy one hand chord type of thing on the verses. Maybe I could do a separate keyboard program for the solo...
