Unfortunately math Is not the same as music... If I was a math teacher I'd be a dick too. Unlike math, most people like music and if you don't, you're dead inside and I don't trust you, the same way I don't trust people that don't like pizza.

Hey Guy - a new career beckons: Children’s TV!1;-) Better yet - call the show the Boris Pick me-up show or something...

@@johnwade7430 You might be surprised by how much he knows about TV and radio presenting, from both his own experience and that of his very famous parents.

Guy, you're an absolute tonic. Thank you so much!

Finally! For years I've been watching various music makers on KZread and nobody has ever done a talk about MIDI controllers. Thanks Guy, you're the best!

My favourite Guy on KZread. Always great when you post a new video, mate.

Sometimes, after a particularly fatiguing day, the unbridled enthusiasm of Guy Michelmore is the perfect medicine...

A good blend with useful knowledge, lovely humor, a real British man and authenticity, thank you very much Guy

Absolutely love the energy of this 'Guy' But Seriously, I have been watching this channel for a long time now :D Such a character... and I have learned so much. Thanks Guy

Perfect timing, I started browsing yesterday for a better way to tweak EQ, automation, etc. than my mouse. Thanks for this Guy!

If you use logic you can get logic controller for iPhone/iPad and use faders and cool stuff there. Idk if it’s customisable as in assigning different CC things toit but it works for mixing and all

Lucky you! I have waited for this vid for moooonths! 👌🤣

Another video that's all about your video - audio setup for making your videos -- your work is excellent and it all looks very simple and clear, which obviously means that you have organized some complicated tech in such a way so that it all comes across to us as a "simple" process... thanks!

Very useful video for me! I don't know much at all about MIDI and controllers, so having those things explained is great. 😀

A-mazing Guy, never ever thought the keyboard would ever work again, so cool.

oh, finally I found very enthusiastic and expressive midi controllers review. So unique presentation.

When you were waving your arms about manically doing an excellent impression of a DJ who's had one too many Trebor Mints, it reminded me of a Scottish/Borders expression: Giving it Laldy! Thanks again for your time and enthusiasm.

We have at least 2 things in common: 1) I prefer tactile controllers over virtual/touch and 2) My first rule of technology is that it has to look good in the dark! Cheers :-)

love your enthusiasm, definitely on the same wavelength!! The interface revolution is happening

Brilliant thank you Guy great fun as usual. Thanks for the nod on the S88. It’s fantastic.

Love your vids and tutorials Guy. Informative and entertaining, and always delivered with such infectious energy. Thank you so much. 🙏🏾🌞

Stumbled on this video and checked out some others. These are really well done and agree with the comments below. You make learning fun! Thank you for posting.

I mostly have no idea what he's talking about when he demonstrates techy-MIDI-controller stuff (you don't have to be a millionaire to afford & use such toys, but it helps... I still create & use soundfonts for that reason [if and when my PC with its Audigy soundcard works]) but he is irresistable even so. You can tell he once worked in local (English, Anglian) TV media. I'm British, & his parents (popular national radio & TV presenters) were familiar to me from my childhood. He may be a maniac, but he is a born teacher.

You've mentioned some of your controllers before, but I've been looking forward to a deeper dive!

Not sure if that keyboard wanted a deeper dive though XD

Thanks for all the information and insight! My stay sane summer project has been recording an album of original singer / songwriter tunes (not film score ... sorry ...) and the learning I've done on your channel has come in handy an incalculable number of times. Much appreciated!!!

Excellent video! Keep up the great work. I have a bit of an obsession with midi controllers. Hardware or software. Midi learn in CUBASE has gave me much joy.

I never understood MIDI learn before. There are gems in all of your videos.

I agree. Expected a deeper dive and more towards just midi controllers.

Another controller that works on an old iPad here is Metagrid, which has pre configured buttons for Logic, Cubase, FCPX, Dorico etc. Totally user configurable as well, it's been a useful addition here in my studio.

Love the enthusiasm! 😊 👍

I am so glad the Keystation 88 still works, if I still had hair, I would have ripped them off my head when I saw what you did ! :D

love your wit and quirkiness :)

I love your energy and dynamics!! I would love to have an studio like yours as well..

Thank you, Guy, this is inspiring!

Hi Guy, glad your doing well.

brilliant! i love my 10 year old Akai MPK88 so much i just bought another one! :D great feeling hammer action keybed, full sized faders, button, knobs, transport controls, 16 velocity sens pads with note repeat, arpeggiator... weighing in at 34kg it's a real beast!

I like Guy’s sense of humor, nice channel

Always a pleasure to watch your vids Guy! Instant like ;)

Guy - as a composer/arranger for 4 decades, I hope to always have the curiosity for learning new things - as you seem to. Thanks for putting a little "extra" into your videos. Just don't drink a Red Bull before filming! Cheers and keep it up!

Love that energy man cool videos keep doing that!!

Exactly the video I needed. I've been in the market for an honest opinion about controllers, various controllers, how they're used, and if they're right for me. Thank you very much. I'd love a video on how to set up a controller with VST plugins like channel strips.

Great video Guy! Worth the wait to see your Stream Deck implementation, might not chuck my MIDI keyboard in the bath just yet but it is made by M-Audio so never say never!

Great energy - For that, I subscribed!!!

Thank you for that awesome video.. You taught me orchestration with the other videos and now you're telling me what exactly to get. I got a Nanokontrol2. And after that Keystation 88 "durability test😂" I bought a Keystation too and they're awesome. Truely Thank you!! and for keyswitches later on I would probably go for a Novation Launchpad Mini because it's programmable for cc switches as well as notes and the difference between an Akai APC Mini is very marginal

All hail Keystation 88. You made me actually laugh out loud. Thanks Guy

Great tutorial and well done

love this guy

One of my all time faves is my trusty old peavey pc1600

Using software like MidiPipe, I have remapped the CCs of the AKAI APC mini faders to CC1 CC11 and CC7. Works great

So glad I found this 😊

dude you are my hero HOW GOOD VIBES

I recall reading years ago about cleaning a qwerty computer keyboard by putting it in the dishwasher. The article did state that it wasn't recommended but was a fast way to get your keyboard pristine. So I tried it and the keyboard came out perfect, and after leaving it to dry out it worked perfectly. I wouldn't do it to any of my expensive keyboards, but I would do it again if I ever had a cheap keyboard that needed a deep clean.

Love this teacher!

Man you earned my sub so incredibly quickly!!!

You also have a MAIN STUDIO. That's two more studios than I have. Well, maybe someday. Love your videos.

Fuckin love this guy, i see my crazyness in him near all the electronics synths and midiboards

I have a Beringer umx 61 and Edirol ur80. Marvellous.

This was very helpful, thank you :)

Hey Guy thank you for sharing your video review for Cubase Elements. Because of that video I at least can say I'm Semi-Familliar with the program.

Hi guy, love your videos and find your enthusiasm is infectious. Although after you bought the S88 I took the plunge and got the S61 and love it. Are you using komplete kontrol or just loading vst stand-alone , would be interested to see any midi maps you have created

Ha! Been on the mixing desk with hundreds of knobs for forty years, nice to hear from a musician what people think of me ! 🤪

Guy, refreshing as always just started deep dive into controllers will be checking out the Icon / Platform & thanks for your advanced product testing with M Audio Key Station 88 next time the salt water challenge ;-)

omg i love you. "BUTTONS!" This guys gets it.

Lol 2 days ago I was thinking about making a comment asking you to do a video on this topic. GREAT MINDS.

Thanks to Guy I just had to have the StreamDeck XL. It's sitting on my desk now and I'm loving it so far. I'm sure I've only scratched the surface (get it?). I would love to see a deeper dive into what Guy uses it for. I've got DAW control down, but what else will this madman think of?

The iCON Platform M+ is the best piece of kit I ever purchased!

That black magic switcher is nice!! I need to find a Display Port switcher!!

Guy, you are the best brother... learning is so much fun with you...thanks !🙏🏽

definitely crackin' up just in the 1st minute...!!!

Yes, Stephen, you are ravin' mad .... :D

Never heard such a "clean" sound from an M-Audio Keyboard before :D

I like the Novation launch control and launch control xl

great video thanks for sharing

Ahh finally, "Hello everybody"! I missed that.

"It might just explode" thanks for making my day Guy :)

Yes flashy lights are very important , Now you just need one that goes BING !!!

I would love to see a Stream Deck design that has knobs instead of buttons!!! Just think how cool that would be! It would be amazing. I am shocked this doesn't exist out there somewhere. You'd have a 32 OLED type Rotary knob set up that was fully programmable to each induvial VST! It's tempting to build such a beast myself via the Stream Deck. Would need really small rotary dials though as to not block the whole display area. Native Should come out with this! The tech is dirt cheap, and the demand would be immediate! Who wouldn't want a fully programmable OLED type rotary knob board!? Right now, the only thing close is the NI Maschines, S series MK2, with the 2 LCD screens and labels for each knob. Overlay templates are PITA, but something that instantly adjusts as you switch VSTs? I'd buy that at just about any price.

@Shawn Strong The price of the CT is too close to a Mpc one or such. The standard is 279.00 I think. Not that bad, but only 6 knobs. 8 would be just prefect. It's a neat device at the price point.

Your keyboard exploits remind me of the scene in Tim Hill's 2007 Alvin & The Chipmunks film, where Dave throws his keyboard and recording gear out in the rain, then later on brings it back inside and records a hit jam w/ Alvin & Co. :)

After what seems like an eternal search for a simple CC fader controller, I've finally found one. 8 assignable faders. That's it. That's all I want. 4 would do but I'm sure I'll find uses for the others. It will fit nicely on the big blank space on my Komplete Kontrol S88 (where NI should have put faders, right?). $99 + $15 worldwide shipping. It's the MC-8 from Nakedboards out of Moscow. Shipping is 2 to 3 weeks. Reviewers on KZread are happy with their products.

His the coolest guy iv seen today

Great this video.

Loved the video!! I actually bought the Icon Platform M+, but I can’t seem to get it to work the way you have it (even after going through all the steps I found online). Anyone know how to get it to work here?

Great info - however without examples of each item you mentioned I’m only guessing about the instant results available with the programmable interfaces...

Whilst nothing will ever completely replace a hardware unit, if you don't have the cash to splash then take a look at TouchOSC. A fantastic little app for the iPhone / iPad (better on iPad as more space but one purchase gets it for both devices). Allows you to setup your own controller app so you can change whatever you like whenever you like it. I'm currently in the process however of making my own hardware controller using an Arduino. Very easy to do with the Surface Controller Midi library available and very cheap to do. Also get the satisfaction of having made it myself. Also love knowing how things work so if they go wrong I can fix them.

Love it! What is the software you use to process your youtube videos? - The ATEM goes where? Thank you so much for making this. Again I just love it - and you are brilliant! I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on vocal processors or choral sounds! Your videos = morale boost.

Thanks, Guy! I'm fiddling with the TouchOSC iOS app. It's only $5 on the Apple site and it does work quite well. The draw back is that merely touching the screen sets the slider to the point of contact so you have to be very careful about not losing contact as you make those hairpins sing. I would much prefer hardware with physical resistance but I'm not putting out $400 for one just yet! Why, oh why doesn't the Komplete S88 not have any sliders??? Or at least offer an outboard one?

I'm using an old iPad with a custom TouchOSC layout I've configured with CC-faders, buttons for shortcuts, jog wheel etc. It takes some time to setup but it works really nice! I had the icon platform but the software for programming the faders were a nightmare to setup for me.

Hi, I would like to know if you recomendation the Icon M+ for controll Spitfire strings library?

I enjoy your instruction. It's would be great to hear you compose using Logic. Sometime I'd really like to see you go through your ways of assigning buttons and knobs on the Komplete S88. I'm using the same setup for my projects but rely on menus and on the mouse for interactive screen data .

vous êtes génialement dingue et drôle!! bravo pour pour vos vidéos

How would the Akai MPK mini work as a portable keyboard controller with knobs?

Hi, keep up the excellent work.Just one question :how about using an ipad as a controller?

please do a video, about re setting cubase elements, to its factory settings, because sometimes, we need to know that! Thanks!!!

Now you've got to take the upright into the pool and see if it still works afterwards. :)

Any chance of you doing a quick video on assigning keyswitches to the buttons on the S88? I can’t find anything specific on KZread and the manual makes me break out in a cold sweat!

Sign the Keystation in gold sharpie and put it up on eBay for sale.. Bet you get a nice bit o' bank. :-)

do you have an tutorial on how to setup the apk mini because I notice you have stuff wrote on yours? This would really be a help to me, thanks in advance!

Hey Guy, could you put the links for the products mentioned the the description?

Thank you for the video! if it's ok... I'm thinking of buying platform m+, does it work well with Cubase? Do the motorized faders move with sending CC in plugins? What do you think about X-touch compact? Thank you Avi

So EAGERLY I was waiting for this video .. I use Studio one in Windows... How do I configure Korg nano for midi... It works well as a mixer slider pan and transport control... but it doesn't work as midi cc.. It would be nice if you can suggest some guide to achieving this

Korg also makes the NanoKontrol Studio, a larger version of the slim one shown here. It's very good. Longer faders. Comes with some cool software, has Bluetooth, programmable. Not nearly as nice as the Icon Platform M+, but it's one-third of the price, so that's to be expected.

Thank you so much for this video dude! Now i can get something done before baby wakes up :D

This year I want to improve my own set with a komplete 88 maybe later will come something more

watching this right now.. you're making my day! - controllerism is WHERE ITS AT!!! ( sort of ) ... if only NI would fix the KK88 mk II software and produce improved versions that are a little more thought out... Komplete Kontrol.... half arsed... imho.
