Me too. 🫣 PDM is a phenomenon for me how to get (some sort of) unintentionally famous. Wish you a lot of fun on the tour. Love to see great people working together!
"It's about not being too much" he says, playing funky as sin wah wah clav lick while a disco ball slowly rotates behind him 😂 love you Matt, thanks for the video!
I love these videos Matt because they show what a genius you are on keys and synths...something that can get missed amongst the superstars of Jamiroquai. Massive respect fella 👊
Amazing... this guy is able to teach me dozens of tricks in few minutes. How to play, how to design sounds, how to sing on a vocoder... Masterclass of everything in keys. Chapeau!
Love the vocoder tips about keeping the vocal low, will use that. We’ve started doing a similar live show but with modular synth and backing tracks, did our first gig a couple of weeks back and are now getting bookings for some festivals next summer
9 min 30 seconds…. I think this is a genius idea! A basic analog piano sound layered with a digital piano ( fm or sampled ) makes it 10 x more satisfying, rich and rewarding.
This is a slick setup. Thanks for being so generous with your tips! I’ve been following you for years and I’ve seen PDM live a few times, so clicked this video very quickly :)
The skills level is of the chart! Instrumental creativity at the peak, I can only whatch and admire. The funk and disco sound is sooooo good, thanks for sharing this!
Wow! That bi-timbrality trick you did with the dx7 sound and the Nina sound.. ..I've done something similar with sounds from my JD-800 combined with sounds from my DeepMind 12. This way I have both the digital colors and the analogue warmth and the combination of the two is amazing!
You have just unlocked ideas of how to maximize the parallel function of the Korg Kronos setlist & use that to hop between controlling the main and auxiliary synth!!
I'd love that all these dj's "live" gigs would trasform themselves into REAL Disco concerts played by REAL great Musicians like Matt! ......there's nothing like THE REAL THING!!!
Man, who needs a sequencer when Matt is playing! I can't get enough of the groove; especially the clavinet and the vocoder example. Hope to see the 3rd Wave out with you at some point, but you are making this rig sound absolutely fantastic! Very cool to route the P10 through the Montage for effects. I wish I was over there to take in one of the shows.
Matt, I saw you yesterday in Liège front row. The show was amaaaazing ! 👏 I loved your solo parts, e. g. the ending of the first half of the show before the pure DJ set. Cannot wait to hear your next Jamiroquai album 🪩
Hi sir Johnson, I just wanted to thank you for all the joy your work has been giving to my life. Jamiroquai has a huge importance in my life cause it is me and my dad's favorite band and it has helped create strong bond between us, I was really hoping to listen to the new Jamiroquai album with him but he was recently diagnosed with cancer and they say that he has weeks to live and I was hoping that maybe you could just write a little thing for him before he goes away. I'm sorry to bother but I'm just trying to do the best I can as a son. Thank you for all the music and I hope you and all Jamiroquai fans are doing really Great 🙏🙏💙💙🎹🎹
7:27 It never occurred to me that the timbre of one's voice would have such an impact on the vocoder timbre... but that makes so much sense. Would really dig a vocoder masterclass if you ever felt so inclined! Thanks for the rig rundown!
Thx so much for sharing this. Wow that last patch with the layered 80’s glockenspiel and prophet 10 whistling on top of it is gorgeous ! Need to try this with my SY99 Yamaha and the take 5 I own
Matt should produce more and more disco-funk bands .....the world desperately needs real Music played with real instruments in this genre.
So true, if anyone likes Disco-Funk I suggest listening to Dabeull.
@@Echochamber79Great artist and sound he should make a tour with Matt! Thank you for the suggestion.
There is plenty of amazing Ny Funk/Disco currently being made. Not sure what you mean by “real instruments”.
@@Echochamber79I prefer the Space Grapes label.
Hi you might enjoy Mildlife or Nu Genea : pretty cool bands with that organic feeling ! There is also Voilaaa but it’s less jazz funk and more afro
'A lot of what I'm doing is quite simple really' - maybe for you Matt, but you're a genius!
Very kind thanks
Love you Matt.
You as a top level musician showing others how it's done is so so rare. Thank you.
I had no idea you played on purple disco machine records! I’ve been playing his records for over a decade.
yes I'm on a lot of them
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquaiany stereo funk records?
"played" is a tad underrated tho. Just look up the credits and figure 🤭
Good to see you adding your flavor in here, love PDM!
Me too. 🫣 PDM is a phenomenon for me how to get (some sort of) unintentionally famous. Wish you a lot of fun on the tour. Love to see great people working together!
Delayed chorus. What a sound! Such a treat to hear you demonstrate such delightful gear.
Glad you like it!
"It's about not being too much" he says, playing funky as sin wah wah clav lick while a disco ball slowly rotates behind him 😂 love you Matt, thanks for the video!
Haha! Thanks
Oh, now I know why Purple Disco Machine sounds so good.
What a legend 👏 Thanks for sharing your rig and thought process with us. Priceless ✌️ Happy jamming ✨

Beautiful playing at the end
Thanks

Happy to help!
Matt’s chord voicings and runs are so sophisticated and beautiful! Such a great lad too!

Sounds great!
Matt plays beautifully the lovelyest notes with the sweetest sounds and the most charming good spirit !
Thanks for sharing and great playing as always!
Love the Nina+DX+reverbed Synth stuff!!
Thanks a lot!
7:19 the vocoder tips!!! i love it! I have always wondered about how to get a better sound and singing into the mic or not. Thank you!
Happy to help!
Thank You, Matt, for sharing your setup with us. Very intereseting and clever. Have a nice tour!

Matt every video you drop always inspires me to go write !! Everything you play sounds so damn Tight !!
Thanks a lot!

Nice to hear you are on tour with purple disco machine... I love his music, and i love your music, so it will sound best to me...
It’s been fun
Thanks, Matt, appreciate sharing your very thoughtful setup. It's a nice insight. Love the instrumental outro as well!
Glad you liked it!
You must be a joy to have in the studio or on tour. 🎼🎶🎹
Your vocoding lesson is actually educational! Nice rig , by the way
Awesome, thank you!
Crazy this is a dream gig honestly ! You must be having sooo much fun
Thanks for taking the time to show this. Awesome!
No problem!
Sounds great Matt!
3:00 oh thems the perkies. Such sweet insight. Thanks for this particularly and the cool onsite insite and vibe. Thrilling!
Awesome video. One of your best Matt!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How cool... I never knew you played with him. You're such an amazing musician. And a top man! Hope I can see you on tour.
Thanks so much!
Your layering is totally inspiring. Thanks for posting.
You are welcome!
So much fun watching this! A real eye-opener to use the Montage FX on the Prophet. The programming of the sounds is spot on!
Thanks!
Oh man. Bring able to program/layer and play like this… goals! 😮❤
Thanks
The skills level is of the chart! Instrumental creativity at the peak, I can only whatch and admire. The funk and disco sound is sooooo good, thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for listening
Amazing! Thank you for taking time of sharing your knowledge and expertise as a pro musician, it really matters.
My pleasure!
Now I want to go to the concert ❤
I thought it was yoooouuu, I had as feeling I was going to hear that!!
What a creative rig and beautiful sounds! Thanks for showing us that great setup.
My pleasure!
Very nice and efficient rig. The other rig behind you looks amazing too! You should do another rundown 🎉
incredible video, thank you a lot, and wish many bands would have this level of keyboard sounds !
Very tasty omnomnom. That rig has a lot of flexibility considering how simple it is. Thank you very much for the tour and insights.
Funky ! ❤ what a beautiful combination love that rig ! This man is a legend. Thanks for sharing Matt !
Interesting live rig. The Nina and Motif layered together sound pretty good.
I think so too!
Wow! That bi-timbrality trick you did with the dx7 sound and the Nina sound.. ..I've done something similar with sounds from my JD-800 combined with sounds from my DeepMind 12. This way I have both the digital colors and the analogue warmth and the combination of the two is amazing!
Very cool!
Great job Matt, impressive!
Sounds great!!! Have fun on the tour 🙂
Thank you! Will do!
Mr. Matt You play wonderful melodies :) I wish listen to you live during a concert. Best wishes :))) 🎶🎹🎵
Thank you very much!
Thanks for doing this Matt! I could listen to that outro tune all day long. Exceptional playing and beautiful tones all around (as always).
Thanks a ton!
This whole rig looks so comfy, thank you for sharing. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
Matt - my favorite funkster! Smooth as silk, chill as ice, and bringin' that funk twice as nice 👑
I love when you do these rig rundowns! Wish I could see this live🍻
Me too this is so cool…
Very interesting and great sounds, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed!
This is so awesome. Thank you for posting your setup.. it looks well designed.
Having a terrible day after surgery and this helped a bit.
Sorry to hear it rest up! X
What! You've done the synth work for PDM? Incredible, Exotica was my favourite album of 2022!
Thanks!
had a pleasure to see you and the gang last week in Warsaw, great show and it was wonderful surprise to find you and Derrick on stage there :)
Thanks for coming
You and Derrick really up the quality of these concerts! Incredible musicianship 🏅
Thanks
You have just unlocked ideas of how to maximize the parallel function of the Korg Kronos setlist & use that to hop between controlling the main and auxiliary synth!!
First class as usual Matt, I love PDMs stuff too, great combo.
Cheers
Great, love your sound and playing, Matt!
Thanks a lot!
Little bit of Herbie in there, nice!
Beautiful sounds!
Thank you 😋
I'd love that all these dj's "live" gigs would trasform themselves into REAL Disco concerts played by REAL great Musicians like Matt! ......there's nothing like THE REAL THING!!!
True but I love electro, the combo is quite cool
God bless you man, i love this kind of video. You're a talented musician!
I appreciate that!
Thanks for explaining your settings in such detail, it helps a lot!
Yeah gret -sounds nice.
So interesting to see you explaining the set up. And afcourse the funky clave was TOP!
Glad you liked it!

The 3rd wave is great for sure
I could listen to Mr. Johnson all night simply jamming! 😎
Amazing! I love these sounds. It’s dreamy 🎉
Thank you! 🤗

Hallelujah! 😍 thank you. So much cool stuff.
Glad you enjoyed!

@@arupscornner529 oh I’m so sorry to hear this. I am away on tour but I will try to do something when home. Contact me at mattjohnsonmusic@yahoo.com
Thank you always
Great as usual
!
Awesome.
Great setup, cool demo.
Hope you can show us some videos of this show on this channel.
How am I not surprised you're working with Tino ! I need to find a some seats for this gig now !
Great video!
Excellent rig Matt!! Cheers!! And say hi ti Derrick.
Thanks! Will do!
7:27 It never occurred to me that the timbre of one's voice would have such an impact on the vocoder timbre... but that makes so much sense. Would really dig a vocoder masterclass if you ever felt so inclined! Thanks for the rig rundown!
Cheers Matt, nice to see your setup.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers man great to see a video!!
Thx so much for sharing this. Wow that last patch with the layered 80’s glockenspiel and prophet 10 whistling on top of it is gorgeous ! Need to try this with my SY99 Yamaha and the take 5 I own
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Amazing musical situation!
Downgrading to a Montage 8 is like downgrading to a different model of Lamborghini. Love it!
Great synth!
Nice to see you out on the road Matt. Say hi to Jay for me and have a good one. All the best as always....Dan
