    Push2 is the best thing I ever bought. I started on bass guitar, and used the chromatic mode on push 2 for a long time since the layout is the same. Eventually I started to understand scales and chords within those scales for what they really are, rather than some abstract unknowable thing. The patterns are just there to see. It's like jacking into the matrix.

    I figured out the shapes for different chords and inversions, but you explaining the grid gave me a tangible way to visualize the keys. You earned your like Sir!

    Thanks for making this. I’ve been exploring Nashville note system (NNS) and the flexibility it offers for changing key. Been playing with NNS on guitar and even using capo it is a bit challenging to do with all keys. Got to thinking, “I should try NNS with Push in this mode you’re showing so well. I could toggle to a different key and easily play a 1 4 5 1 progression. And learning some inversions this way would also be easier than on guitar.

    Thank you for the explanation of chord formations. I came from the guitar family and know very little about keyboards and have always wanted to learn to play. I like the idea of Push 2 and how it is laid out. It makes better since to me but I guess if you are from the keyboard family then Push 2 would be hard to get used to. I purchased the Push 2 and it is supposed to be here today and I can't wait to get started learning with it. Your tutorial will help me tremendously. Thank you for sharing. You have a new subscriber now.

  • @MadelnMachines
    @MadelnMachines Před 5 lety +1

    Thanks, that was interesting even if I got lost part way through. I notice you can change the interval to fourths even in chromatic mode. Does that mean every scale will have the exact same shape/pattern like the bitwig isomorphic keyboard layout? So unlike a piano you don't have to remember a new scale pattern for each key. I really wish I could learn all of the major and minors scales and their accompanying chords but my memory is dreadful. I do like to start in chromatic mode though so I have access to all of the keys at first before i've chosen my key.

    I've been practicing guitar and learning theory with it for years (on and off). I've never been more interested in theory until I got my Push 2 though lol. I wanna be able to play chords on it and know what I'm doing. I feel like the Push 2 speeds up the music making process as opposed to traditional instruments.

  • @kierenmoore3236
    @kierenmoore3236 Před 5 lety

    This was helpful, thanks. Seems weird, that minors, diminisheds are the sam shape as majors ... ? I take it the 'in key' mode means it is 'quantized' (in a pitch sense) to whatever key it is set to. So, you don't think about notes, you need think about scle degrees - and 'trust the machine to know whether than scale degree should be major or minor'? Seems like it would be harder for someone who is used to theory on a keyboard (to whom it's counter-intuitive to use the same shape for major, minor and diminished!). I'm just looking at trying out a push (or launchpad pro), so this has been insightful. Cheers!

    @hannahbackward Před rokem

    When learning chord changes and shapes do you think in terms of numbers instead of notes? Like don't think of a progression as C-ami-F-G but I-vi-IV-V? Because those shapes can work with any key, right? When you played the first C chord I instantly thought if you moved the 5th or G to A you would have an ami second inversion. That one note change would always give you a I-vi change. I'm starting to see the light. Thanks!
