Chords for Using the Nintendo Labo Piano to Make Music

_ I am back and today I'm gonna be doing another video using
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ [D] Nintendo Labo that is [G] right today
I'm gonna be taking a deeper look at the Nintendo Labo piano
Which I made last week and then I'm gonna be putting my skills to the test and I'm gonna see what kind of beat
I [D] can come up with using only the Nintendo Labo piano by itself
So today I'm gonna be using the studio mode instead of the toy piano mode that I played around with last week
The studio mode is a whole lot of extra features, which are actually pretty cool
It actually turns it into a pretty capable music making studio.
So first up we have a drum pattern sequencer
So I'll [G] quickly show you how this works.
So we've got this row here, which is for the kick
We've got this row here, which is for the snare
we've got this row here for the high hats and [N] we've got this row here, which is for the
Ride, I think all the crash one of those I guess we'll find out in a couple of seconds
So yeah, it works like any standard sequencer.
You just take your points and put them wherever you want them in the grid
So once we have our drum pattern all made up
We just need to go ahead and insert it into the toy comp piano and press this button here. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I
Actually think that feature is pretty cool
But what I think is even cooler is that you are able to make your own waveform
So what you need to do with this is you just need to take it and put it in the same slot that you put
The drum pattern [G] and press the same button
_ _ [B] And there we go.
It has turned this cardboard waveform into a synthesizer
Now if we go ahead and play the piano, it [C] sounds a little something like this.
_ Oh
[F#] Yeah, and I saw way but [G] now let's go ahead and move on to one of the cooler features of this waveform scanner _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[B] _ That is right.
You are [F#] able to make your own custom waveforms
this one that I made here is just a really basic square wave, but you can also [G] go ahead and
_ [C]
Make something completely crazy.
So yeah, I think there's enough explaining of how everything works
Why don't we go ahead and actually start making some music?
So I think I'm gonna start off with some drums
Let's go ahead and make a pattern
That should be good.
So let's go ahead and [N] loaded my drum pattern _ _
_ _ That's sound pretty good.
So now I'm going to go ahead and start recording the instruments
So first off I think I'm gonna start off with a piano sound that's already loaded in
I might go ahead and change some of the parameters.
I might change the envelope a little bit
[A] _ _ _ _ Maybe put the volume down just a little bit as well
_ And that should do so now it should be good to go ahead and start [C] recording some chord
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [E] _ _ So I think that is sounding pretty good now I'm going to go ahead and record in a bass line
I might use this little square wave that I [G] made
[E] That sounds pretty good.
[C] Let's go ahead and record it
_ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Em] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _
Next up I'm going to go put in some synthesizer chords.
I'm just gonna use the saw wave for this one
So let's go ahead and [Bm] load it in now.
I might make the envelope a little bit bigger.
So just [A] turn this dial
_ _ [G#m] Sounds alright, [F#] and I'll just put on a little bit of [A] reverb _
_ _ _ _ [C] That sounds pretty good.
Let's go ahead and record it
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _
_ So next up I'm gonna do a little melody using [C] the crazy waveform that I cut out
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
That sounds pretty [E] good.
So I think I've recorded everything that I need
Why don't we [C] go ahead and have a listen to my finished beat?
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [A] _ [C] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ So I've been playing around with this little cardboard [N] piano quite a lot over the past week
And I must say that I'm actually pretty surprised with the amount of things that you can do with it now
It's not like I'm actually going to go ahead and start producing songs using this piano
But I actually think it's a pretty cool way for people to learn the basics of music production
I [G] kind of wish that something like this came out when I was a kid because that way I would have a much earlier
Introduction to music production that sounded weird.
But [B] anyway, this is definitely not the last Nintendo [D] Labo video that I'm gonna be doing
[D#] I've been working on a few of my own music making tools using the toy con garage
Whatever [A] is cool, and I'll be making some videos on these creations in the future.
But yeah, anyway
I think it's gonna wrap it up for [G] this video.
Thanks for watching everybody.
Bye
