Hello! That's Marius - Hi! And that's Ben. Welcome to the new synths & Stuff. New it is, because there
are a few old episodes that are already existing.
Focus we had there on going to musician friends, into their studios and take
a look at their workflow and we intend to continue this for sure!
New is now: Marius joined the team as well as Rapha behind the camera and we also want to
extend the topics a bit and add news, means: everything related to electronic
Music, what seems interesting to us, we will put up here...
and everything whats goin on for exapmle workshops or events such like fairs...
or anything like that, we will put an eye on. And perhaps
we will show some handy hints/tricks to you.
If you are new to the channel - you're welcome to subscribe, so you won't miss
new videos in the future... I'm Ben Bloodygrave. I am more out of a punkish enviroment.
I have previously played in what most people call rock / punk bands. In 2008 i bought my first Sytnhesizer
and that time i was into... Wave and Minimal music or somethin like that. I thought:
"Hey, i want to try this myself" and then I just started
experimenting. Had no idea what I'm doing... but then i got to know
more and more people with synths and i started asking them a lot i didnt know.
trough this, i just got the idea: Just put up your camera
and record everything those people have to tell you, so others can learn as well.
so, nowadays i am doing a kind of Synthpunk with EBM impact. Yes, thats all i got to say for now...
I'm Marius aka Bassinfected
i am into doing electronic music since about five years
I started first doing grindcore / metal / death metal stuff then
increasingly slipped into the electronic music. I work a lot digital with
Ableton but also modular analog synthesizers and i am doing now
quite a bit of jungle, drum n bass but also experimental, anything really.
This channel will not serve as our self-promotion, but
because there were already people asking, somewhen we show our studio setup
in detail. For those who are interested. But vor now, in this video here
we will take look into the studio
of Jack, from Soft Riot. Which I had visited in Glasgow. So lets have a look:
www.softriot.com
...And then we attended the Super Booth. I agree. We were only traveling with
smartphone camera. But if you are interessted to see what has been there
we will show you what we encountered and put our humle opinions to that.
you tell more about a workshop. We can actually do it right now..
So ok. The workshop was started under the name "Mutable March"
A whole project was launched. Mutable instrument is a company wich decided to do their
projects all "open hardware", so you can then interpret everything yourself and
get all parts/items and firmware everything directly from them.
And then you built it yourself. But all parts are SMD (Surface Mounted Device)
These are electrical components that are tiny tiny, only millimeters in size, so they are quite
difficult to solder. But I have also spoken with the people
and they sayed they wont offer smd parts no longer
because no one is really happy it
if you had no experience that's really tough to finish
an SMD project successful
They were also doing a second "after"workshops, because
there are still too many people, like me as well, wich weren't able
to finish it. But I have to say that
the organization was not that good this time. When i was there the first time, there have been
enough soldering irons in place and really more than enough working materials
but last time i just got the very last soldering iron
wich somehow got much to hot and
temperature could not be adjusted. This was the reason i fucked up
the whole board. So then i had to order a new one from england.
but luckily i got one in better quality and i started working on it again
at home. But now i am still waiting for help to upload the firmware on it
because i can't do this on my own...
it was a nice idea, but i think they learned their lesson
so they get back to normal radial parts wich
you put through holes and so on normal resistors etc
as a beginner you get along better with that
you also got a better overview of it, so i think they will do this next time.
We will put a link to this in the description, if your want to know more about that.
We will in future continue to point to events and workshops as I said, and at
best to look at our facebook page link is also down in the
description. We are posting all the stuff whats going on
not only in Berlin but also what seems interesting to us
Because we have one small tip. We also want to from time to time.
If we have some hints or we see something and say: "That's a nice idea
for people wich have a studio." And so this is:
some time ago i bought a midi cable. Wich is actually no Midi cable but a
5 pole keyboards and mice Cable. You get those onamazon for 7.69 €
Link to Amazon's description. This is a 5-pack of
these midi cables and actually I was looking for a extension cable because
I have some devices have where I cant see the back that good.. and i just wanted a cable that I can
plug in the back and back of the synth and write on it from where it is or where it goes to
amd then i can connect my other Midi cable from another instrument.
So i just found them online, they operate properly and are less expensive than many
other Midi cable. So T thought that's maybe be a nice idea what we
could thell the peole here. Thats it!
We were even asked if we could do something
especially for beginners. We were considering what we could
do. My first idea was that we just could
create a playlist on our channel, with all the basics and what is
synthesis in general. There is enough videos on this, i think we wont make own ones.
I think qe know some good channels and magazines, etc.
all places where you can learn about this
So I would just put together a playlist
maybe we make an extra intro video to the playlist and explain again
a little more... an pick something for you.
for people who say, "hey what's.. really?"
or "Can you explain..." It happened to me that someone
had bought a Microkorg and said, "Hey how does it work?"
Well good, I can not explain this quick in two sentences!
if someone not even knows what "waveforms" are for example.
if the basics are already missing ... I think we build something up in the future. For those people who have asked.
Ok, perhaps again very briefly
We were here on Saturday in Berlin on the FEZ
in the Super Booth. The Super Booth is an exhibition for electronic
equipment, synthesizers, modular equipment, musical instruments effects everything
possible. initiated by schneiders Laden
schneiders Büro. a business mainly for analog synthesizers
Who have organized just the second time
we were both there. Looked around a bit. and I just had the smartphone with me
and recorded a bit. we play the clips now, one after another
and tell a bit to every clip. Here we go!
Here Bastl Instruments, super cool! Have the boys as yet met later au nem
workshop. which I liked are the new panels they have, since they
but known for its wood panels are now available for the first time metal panels
offer are just super innovative and through this
engines this now drive which then analog, really is a
can now hit a snare bell or a stick Drumm get them. or
The trigger to his modular. I have to tell me
like this idea just the guys have so this is not always
qualitatively the best but definitely still worth a look I'd say that.
always in any case purely let's see what will bring that.
I think that's still down in the foyer and later
Since then again comes a video which we will then announce again.
This is that story PopAnalog
SyntoNovo. I agree.
At first glance, it looked like an ARP or so a blend
I then later recorded what the big deal is. This is probably an old synthesizer brand
it no longer exists for some time. And you can see here how you to herumdrückst
but we both have not noticed that the keyboard is probably very besonderst
that this not only has an aftertouch, which we know already when going through presses the keys so but
that is, as in the Seabord ... that such a coating have oderso
and you can press down the keys and wiggle and then have like a kind mod wheel
So a slide effect or tremolo. 3D effect call the probably the
And wishing well bring out this keyboard still single I heard on another channel
Yes let's see. We were there did not realize at the stand.
I found the synth also really funny. I've turned so many buttons and everything sounded the same. Since I was away quickly.
But these are the things that I was sharp, equipment or trademarks of whom you have never heard anything.
The monster Case!
Custom Built
4. Video - Error Instruments
Error Instruments are also innovative
For me, in my opinion not so interesting
because a lot of circuit bending and
much lo-fi stuff Drone stories
but these spikes are quite funny, because as contacts by hand
created and thereby create new sounds so can
to handle these spikes and whichever one of which spikes at fässt- or which
combination is then again sound in others. quite funny.
but nothing now would be what I really wanted to get me out. If I think
no instrument where you can really say
so now do meaningful music. for me is more like a toy
That was this bitbox was this older gentleman who was kind to us
was really interesting and I have but now also seen in forums that
It was taken apart a bit so that many people do not it so
are convinced. and I must say not so stupid by the idea that her
to three different modules has but somehow are all digital and
Therefore, you can transfer the software each so you can buy
a module and has, so to speak, the choice which of these three I want
just use and yes was very versatile as well as
this effect ding
was nice. was certainly not tired to tell us everything in full detail.
touch Keys
that was almost just a controller, a ribbon controller, where you fumble with the Sun
could Sliden to pitch bein influence the.
Oh that's an angle! Erica synths. Really good. unfortunately was always too much going on that
but since you could really play around in this polivocs imitations I
am happy with the modules. I have 1.2 piece, yes. I must say have the
again and again in the eye. look really nice and also'm still thinking of
to bring them some more. I just like this Picos. they are really almost the
you can see here in this small case very many of these pico it on
just 3 hp or so tiny module but then what already
quite a lot of power one has a lot of different ausführungen.- HP's broad?
-HP is the width of the modules, exactly. and there are quite a lot then
different, because there is one of the only trigger only for sequences and a
signals transmitting. a dsp, who then effects but then also up to eight
different from reverb to granular delay and so compelling and drums there then
where you can then draufladen even with a map of his own samples
and which can then trigger by. I now have for example also
the output at home. so I then just
two mono or halt and left right signal resulting in a stereo signal
is mixed together.
Industrial music Elektronics - damn who this
horny Sticker: This synth kills Fascists, and so on.
Kuck times on the table is still such a pile with all
many flyers and stickers and buttons and so on
my flatmate had pretty laugh when she saw me everything
room've distributed.
That was probably this sticker here ...
exactly pretty cool. we had also really try our
entering money in bags and t-shirts etc rauszuholen again. - For me, it paid for itself!
I mitgemommen patch cables 10! And my have I given you. Since you have half Eintrittsgel already there.
Make Noise, which are very popular. So who modules can be seen in just about every rack
but I must say that are just me somehow strange look from her. the
Although always look ultra crazy out but I want to know just really
and this is the output and the controller makes this - not sufficiently labeled?
-irgendwie already but you have to always look pretty much somehow
and somehow everything so I have to look at everything two or three times that I only
raffe times what is where. I have the module simply made too confusing so a bit
I have nothing of those. I look at the not so often to be honest
said. Because I do not like the look. actually they look beautiful but yes
the work they are then shit I think. too confusing for me.
had times as a semi modules synth I've tried to load into schneiders
and I did not get a ton out. I had someone next door are the intended
I'm sure about the idea fully and in general. and then I'll be there in reason and soil
lost because there I had no idea. - That happens to me just as often because if I face any
stand flagships or so and then I think, "Ahh ok ... ähhmmm" So no idea.
and especially if then only is a hole where only one donut is drum herrum
painted or so. Since you think is "mh ... what comes out of there now? Or is there purely what? I do not know"
Just, you know nichmal which is the input that the output.
Here we are on Waldorf
Waldorf was disappointingly small. - I found also. So who saw this Quantum Synthesizer
not bad. somehow their large display and so on ... me now but not really
dressed interestingly I found I when I do go into the modular
would that would be great ... um like to say that again? This modular keyboard? - I do not know. That you get but otherwise also quick to point ...
That is also everything Eurorack right? - Yes exactly. - But Waldorf ey ...
who have so many devices: this fat spread, rocket etc ...
Just those little boxes, because I would have liked playing around times. - Exactly.
This was non-st there. - Yes, unfortunately. Was disappointing on so many other brands as well.
then we'll get to yet. But that was one of them.
Eowave These are again Drone stories.
I have not so great looked and I must say that are
Also very cool I think. The also have a lot of DIY stories so therefore of which I've already
a step sequencer in mind. To see you because I believe in the very image
Left. as a red device. I have quite a bit in the eye.
costs about 100 euros, the DIY kit. For a sequencer with 8 steps. Since you can not fault it.
I considered from time to time ... next time I'm somehow the 100 euros left
have. Then comes the the rack.
Vermona Was also a bit
disappointing. I could at least the retro verb lancet times
test because I would like to me to my PerFourMer
to make because he once visually to match. And secondly because before I'm still looking
after a reverb and so an analog spring reverb with little filderstadt kram
still in there. The looks exciting from. Alternatively still Eventide out of the question, but
a bit more expensive and are digital.
I think probably it will be a Retroverb are lancet. Let's see. But otherwise
here much modular, you can see a lot. But for example this Vermona Synth14
I would like to try and even the DRM3 or as the means
not have been like there. - of course, their modular and partly very beautiful.
But I have not so in mind. - I think I just, old, German
Brands have little journey way in comparison to Americans and bring their
things did not expect to ... I'd have more, but bitched enough. There's more coming.
Sherman This is again something to dream about. These filter banks
The ultimate filter banks. I've also heard it live in action
have since been reversed itself off. Not on the Super Booth, but at
someone at home, so I'm very confident sound of that.
So I think I've been pretty cool. - But the four-digit price range.
for such a filter bank 1,300 euros lie that would be me personally too stupid. - The man must have been very badly want then.
I would love to but take the award for me simply bright.
Unfortunately 4MS was always too much going on, of course. 's understandable with the award winners
with their new looping DeIay and what they have it all over.
I like the. I have of them already one two
things built. 've also always like an eye. But can not now
so much to say about the new stuff. Because there's just too much going on ever was.
If one has noticed. In the popular stuff was always someone there where you then not
could really deal in peace with the things. as could
you most times someone else look over your finger.
Perhaps you can hear the in the videos and straight. There was just a noisy backdrop ... a noise ...
1,000 people who talk against each other and even more Sythesizer the anfiepien against each other
and was then already difficult ... even if someone had taken the time ...
to us what really specifically shown again something or imagined then
out listening to everything exactly ... with headphones went in part.
But were often monitor speakers there, with which many people something to show
of course, is quite nice, but with so many equipment next to each other ...
The overwhelmed sometimes a bit. -just in the narrow corridors. Whoa there it was
partly really really loud. -Did you noticed. - hot and noisy and stuffy.
Verbos The Berlin Vorzeigemodulierer. I know that also
only from the look here, with these red pots
They're also fairly well known. Since you do not need
so much to say. If you know you will be modular
quickly encounter Verbos and also to the quality that make the guys.
I was not great at standing because most things I have ever seen anywhere
or me even to satisfy watched but was nice to
in any case they warn there. They also had pretty much
all there, what they offer, I think.
That was the Doepfer stand. He was
nice size. But that's just this standard thing somehow.
So opinion is that things just like that sound a bit like it outside.
Plastic. Sterile. have a few things I have of them. A two tools ... etc an LFO
Since you can not go wrong easily. But I have less and less in the eye.
which have again brought out some new oscillators the
should be apparently pretty good Quadrature ThruZero FM oderso ...
Should be exciting. But I have now not a big
had eye on it. But the stand was really going on surprisingly little,
for that they have issued their half or even entire product range. but much as not many turn.
Also Dark Time and so ne things, so actually everything.
Oh, that was up to the DX1. A brute thing. I do not know to what the
have made the standing there. Again was so much going on. - That was so bending circuit, right? Ahh no that
these effects were pedals, exactly! The DIY also were not you? Anyway, I've taken n poster.
Teenage Engineering Super cool! was super nice finally this part in
action to be seen. - OP-Z or? The most encouraging news we get from
have heard this gentleman is that of OP-Z is expected to cost less than the OP-1
I had thought only times that is likely to replace in
the price level and the OP-1 then oderso cheaper. Wober it now
meant he has will be cheaper than the OP-1, which is of course very, very
is interesting. I think that's part simply departed with all the video effects
what you can do with it with the hdmi input or output that you
can control entire beamer stories with his synth.
Since one should but then probably a separate box or something to buy ... so very
stand alone, it will not be. on the one hand I find it exciting
a synth, a sequencer, a looper, a drum machine, etc ... So really like the OP-1 also
So all in there. Quasi one bags one gets where actually theoretically
nothing else needed. but if you then just as one that
seen here in video, these visuals etc ... that's here from an iPad
which is connected with usb. But he said for beamers and so on ...
... which are still in development, which we must not forget ....
that comes indeed out until september
And when it comes out and then the finished product ... that was exactly here
yes even the prototype ... then I'll also take a closer look me
look at. For I could also imagine such a thing still take
easy to run to visuals. - So he probably meant it ...
not that you're still brauscht an extra device but he meant
sees that so that he and a device for music, one for visuals but
both can somehow control together. But I'll definitely my
left to some eyes. I have now seen again has lots of
CV in and out and you can probably control himself if the one or Out
to order and generally do whatever. Assignable outputs you can always
use. I have the eye on the thing and was really nice the
to see again live action. - You would not now sees the Viedeo
that there danneben the whole Pocket operator were stories. There also was something new out.
and new drums have the well and 8-bit sounds that can be? - Yes that could be right. - I would not say no if I
would offer one! But so expensive are not yes. Yes 60 € to turn around the. But still.
Next Video: Dreadbox
Yup! Super sexy!
I am excited about those. ... ah and there one can still see the beautiful long papers by Ask Audio!
I've also very celebrated: "Get some additional inspiration" They know their target audience easily.
As you can see the Erebus and new rear this is blue ... what's his name again ... Abyss
Similar to the Vermona I would have bought the other day.
"Ok, a four-polyphonic in which: Or when I had a look around after I saw Vermona
one quasi select the game-modes can he
monophonic with four oscillators or four polyphony etc ... you can
Of course not select quite as much
modulation options like the Vermona. But I also found exciting!
and but I think also a bit cheaper. when several
Oscillators needs. So I think generally Dreadbox very interesting what the
just bring out or brought out in recent years, these Erebus or Hades ...
If I wanted to get somehow again a smaller synth then
I would definitely choose one of them because the sound incomparably
pure analog sound but really. Beautifully simple. Always. since machts
just fun on the pulse With oderso way of fixing. - Can I find exciting. Great.
Recommended. You mus say, we look at the video for the first time at
We have not even looked through. Have simply sat down and look at the now.
Koma Elektronik was also very nice. The filter is known and also this
step sequencer. I do not know how to say ...- But nothing new.
Ahh complex sequencer. Looks repays very good.
In sequencers I'll always noisy. That's so a field looking where I'm always ... what's so new.
But makes sense with Modularsytem most. While he has MIDI outputs
but I think that would not be worthwhile for me now and I have no Modular.
Which is just huge in size. There are indeed four sequencer in a so
4 sequences that you can use completely independent.
I now have nothing new that I think mitgekriegt far as I know.
if I have luck, I look at those also soon be over again. so, here in
berlin have invite these common grounds where you can also make DIY and stuff
a workshop they offer. Since you can then go up everything
for soldering technique, etc. - Oh really? - Yes. Need to bring anything. Can there simply
out. Can you buy a kit, can in the workshop you right back
put together and build there. -Very good! Since competent people are you
and even look over her shoulder. I have indeed made himself never been there
but I do think that I'll stop by here again. I -Würde even just once with to watch.
- I do not do not know exactly, because I myself have not tried it but have apparently
the there also very tasty beer.
And even brandy too. every now and then have the sometimes very small
events. But matching purely a maximum of five people. -So let it work for you.
Here were again quite a lot of crazy, physical acoustic things. and this
schallplatte rotates here with this beeper. and any spoon the
beaten to test tubes.
Kilpatrick. - Ah yes siehste who I meant. -They have
this sequencer. Carbon. Sees repays from all chic.
The looks exciting. I had looked at me closer sometimes but
ultimately be lost to the Pyramid. Which is now at my home. Because he had promised me more.
What one reads online about Cabon: The one not say that the carboxylic
has the best manual and is not as clear. again, many
has submenus or somehow feel combos and I did not want to.
I wanted a sequencer running well. The looks from the design somehow strong
by Octatrack from I find. So after electron sequencer I think.
with these sterile round buttons up. -Yes. And I find Kilpatrick, who even this semi-modular
Synths you see in the picture below left.
- This is the phenol
who indeed get good critiques actually. - I just do not understand ... why
use the other sockets there if I understood it correctly, you can
because not ran with normal klinken cable. - That's so ne jacks that I know
nor of the art lesson. Banana plugs oderso.
Exactly. I find that kinda stupid so that then the
just can not integrate into its Eurorack. so a bit eigentor what they because
have shot. For me would be such a thing really interesting,
I would like to see right away, but if I can once I see the Sun
do not use with my Eurorack. then the down immediately so I look at all
not on it. - By itself, an exciting booth, but the phenol was not interested in you and
the carbon now has not really interest me, since I had already occupied me in the run-up to it.
And this Gameboy ... what's his name again ....
Tungsten. Here it is.
Since everything kannste with smartphone or make a tablet.
Let's move on. Next video.
the city is the Ableton. Now that we have looked not so much,
I would argue for both of us now times. I see what's going anyway always so with
Ableton. Because I also use it. So I know what's new, so to speak.
I know from my joy circle that use a lot of Ableton.
I myself do not use it.
Although I eh not so much do with software. I could with any freeware
aufzeichen stories. -Dir enough Audacity. -Probably.
I have here a hardware recorder I use my Zoom
I have to say where I'm exhibition stands on the software rather simple
walked past. - So I have to say, software is something that you look
then you can also look at home times.
Jomox, what was new? Alpha Base. A lot was going on. And me now
not really dressed. - I would have very much time around off
played because've heard many times that should be very crass.
I know of Jomox another synth in size. I do not know
just as he is. But since I have already heard crazy sounds. so I
would definitely keep checking it, keep an eye and I must also say
that probably are auserhalb my price range.
Music Factory. That was just software stuff
Exactly.
There were just a few stands with tablets- or computer software
etc had ... - Yes, he had told me. He said they make ...
(I'm not sure if it was a separate module for it) but in any case
they want software integrated with modular systems. He has given me
shown, there was a filter oderso and since he just wiped only back and forth.
And then the filter in modular systems responded. but I find everything is not
so exciting because these are also all Midi control devices I would say.
actually what one knows by heart all in and. And what you also
could make reactor etc.
they just see all the colorful and blinkig from but whether the now really what
and thus come to me for my workflow
now less I would say. What we have here U-He
To U-He I can say that getting good software. never disappoint. Make many software synthesizer
the analog in direction. have a warm touch. Are not quite as sterile
as the normal digital dinger. -OK! - And the interface
easy surface, always adapted to
Roland etc he is also ultra classic and otherwise
AVID, even ultra crass deck and otherwise
something ... but yes, I'm not a pro tools user. will probably also for me
not really worth it.
Pyramid, exactly. That's like saying my newest
Sequencer. I am not yet risen at all, but I
believe that it is now finally. I'm through with meiiner search.
Very good.
Cirklon
Danneben were these imitation jewelry. The is supposed to be cool but then I've also not accurately looked upon
because I thought in this price range ... I do not know what it cost for the, just
2000 Euros about, right? - Not at all looked upon. -Übel expensive.
and you have half a year waiting to have the you assembled. - Yes thank ey.
not even for the money they move her ass!
They had beautiful stickers. -is probably hand carved. -I think so
Malekko
Whatever beautiful things. but was going too much.
Had I not around much chance to play it. I would have gladly times the anti oscillator
belongs in real terms. For this I've already seen quite a few videos because that looks interesting, but live I have to unfortunately
not heard correctly. - That was one of those dark loud,
stuffy corridors. As we went further fix.
Here we are at Synthesizer GRP. Although I have taken something Matierial me, but I
do I find on the fast probably not ... -Sahen but super sexy! from the look
her impressive in any case. We have dealt returns nothing really there with the sound
but we brought both material and wanted
the again look at a bit more closely. - I agree.
Sehgen from top in any case. Unfortunately I can not say what kind of a price range ...
Since I generally see me for sequencer and step sequencer interested have
I have the times looked upon me. Especially the devices above.
Standing on top of it, these are the Step Sequencer well.
Prices about 1200 €. - Did I almost thought. - So MSRP, possibly to get the
somewhere for 1000, or at least something cheaper, no idea. Repays almost three times what a Dark Time costs.
But looks something exciting in any case. Probably more modulation options.
- Definitely. I think there is quite a bit with the parts.
- I think. The stand was repays an eye-catcher. Oh man.
Who simply so an impressive Outlook. -Beautifully big and bulky.
Large pots, large boxes. Nice. - Bunte Lichter that shine!
What more do you want. The main thing it flashes and squeaks and rattles.
That was the replica (conversion) of this Alesis synth ?!
What is the name of the? Andromeda A6. Yes.
That was not a Alesis booth,
but ... -nee this was a guy who has worked to himself.
- Here from AMAZONA! (Www.amazona.com) Since lying all this synthesizer buttons
around. - Exactly! He said he has himself somehow times
found somewhere and has redesigned itself and umbebaut. With the new pots, etc. -Exactly
I was also impressed. The looked amazing.
Of course, I know just do not like the Alesis original looks like and what the can.
To play we did not come here because others were engaged tweak.
Then you continue ...
PACER
And danneben this Digitalle Mellotron
- This ultimate Simple .... -This is a replica of a Mellotron. This had indeed almost for
each key is had a single tape. What then runs like a sample.
And that will be the same principle. For each key a sample ...
Quite as it was not because you had an octave (pitchbend)
but there was a knob of from a to b and c could turn and then
you could because you had three different sounds. So where I there
had the option was a kind of male choir. Then it went
over, I do not remember exactly, there was still repays
a violin in it and yet a third sound. You could then
morph back and forth between the sounds, with this button. And the octave playing.
For me this is such a thing for people to play the piano or keyboard rather
and who want to choose something quickly. Zack-Zack, here I have the sound.
And can immediately start buttons on dei to cut.
That's exactly the opposite of what I do.
I just press a button and turn on many buttons!
TIPTOP AUDIO
also looked super interesting, and I then
which then so felt a bit strange because I now seen in retrospect
I know that the guy who stood the whole time and has turned the knobs: this is
the guy from TipTop Audio, has at least the this was represented ... and who exactly
seen that we stand quite interested in the things around,
look and make and do. But who but which do not interfere, and had
just made his music and I found a bit crass. So I thought
actually, theoretical want so sell what
and he should have a bit worry about the people since then but the
us even more put off the things time to check out right
because that was his movie it and has turned its sound. I Fande a
bit of a shame because I would have really like this new sampler to the
Built looked at.
They have a new module. like so many, there is the now card with sd, sampler.
But that is apparently the first sampler just does not sound like a
Sampler, funnily enough. If you know what I mean. You make a sample
on the sampler. You play the on different pitches and so on
then you just listen to it quite quickly that it is a Sampel. , In the simple
not the case. I can not explain why why why ...
but I've also been a youtube video seen where really convincing
real sounds. It sounds more like a synth as a sampler. -Ok, I can not judge now ...
So in any case, even a glance value. tiptop always audio. I am
which also very satisfied. Have the time and again in the eye. Have also a
modular home from the. this ZDSP, it's also such a flagship of those.
More than satisfied. The thing is the hammer!
Then we are at Curetronic. - Uh, no idea.
-Also no idea. But they probably always with a small penis.
A corner where it was too stuffy and loud ...
so we're it not been for a long time. Audio Workshop was cool. It was nice with the
chatting typ times. To be well hopefully soon encounter in the
19 "Stammtisch -. Exactly.
Who where they meet and a new place. It is well
no regularity in it but it definitely now in OHM, here in
Berlin. And he's definitely quite a few
interesting device. I find the look of which also
Pretty cool. I mean that all just show, he gave us
said. The housing-circuit boards do not function
from the top down. are all well separated and so on so that there
sometimes somehow a sweat drops can lose it without something
somehow everything blows the same. but have to say the device would be for me
too expensive for what they do. he he very designed everything on MIDI
does and I generally completely gone himself from MIDI away so because I now
Only CV and gate use. - Would rather for me, but as I said ...
A midi drum sequencer or a 16 step sequencer? - I think 16 but I'm not quite sure ...
While seeing chic but about 350 € about ... but I do not know ....
in which drum sequencer could look again more closely but
especially with the step sequencer as you get for something a little more money,
much better. I am thinking of the stuff from Doepfer. -Just.
And maybe something where even sound comes out with and not just MIDI
outputs. - Or with CV. As the Dark Time. -Oderso something yes. -Was but nice to see that.
I did not even know that yes. What he hatter there? MIDI to CV converter, etc ...
And did not look too bad with these design circuit boards.
These were all Clock Generators
or Divider. Cute It's definitely, cool idea is all
made by himself. He said he always starts pads with about 20x piece and
looks like it sells, then carry on.
It is worth to support such a thing in any case. - Let's look more closely.
Sometimes even look at the website, which I have not done.
I think there are people that the more interested than us now. Is not bad in any case what he
Sun offers.
Also cute plush synthesizers on the wall. - Yes!
Digitana
Ahh, that this "in the glass box" was synth!
That was FSOL - Digitana
T-shirts they have given us!
"Digital pocket synth and Eurorack module". Somehow it looked exciting with the display!
I thought since you can as the OP-Z visuals
raushauen but the lady etc (the kindly yet shirts and
gave bags) can not explain exactly because that's all
probably still prototypes. -Eben, you said, this is not finished yet
develops and why it's still in the glass case inside. So these visuals
but is to come is not yet fully mature and therefore was the
also not available for demonstration purposes.
-Hätte interests me! - Would have liked also times it turned around, etc. Have we not
immediately said pack anything in a glass box and it looks immediately interesting !?
-Yes, exactly!
Since the same we needed to go and see! "Oh a quietschgelber Synth in a glass box What! He probably ?!
- Yes! it was so interesting now and it's also remained after we abgechecked what it is.
First of all have to wait to know what there is to come. Can perhaps go for a while.
Until then really what comes out ... End of year you probably thought.
Right! What have we here?
TOUELLSKOUARN
Ahh that these new .... are no ahh!
These were the also DIY kits! See partly not at all times from bad.
Who amp Distortions and stuff. Do everything possible VCOs also I think.
And VCFs. But these are, (when I saw it right) Americans - and that is a bit stupid here
to raise Europe ... these DIY kits.
Imer actually worth a look.
PITTSBURGH was also nice!
A bit of a shame that they have their patchkabel not get moved, because they look so beautiful.
They had lying around so many of them and then did not even come out of! - The bastards!
But there was the state of REASON. - Your new best friend! - That's what I celebrated!
MUSIC THING MODULAR was super cool! This Coiul or electric coil ...
electromechanical module which you can now purchase ... - Ahh yes I've seen times on video.
You can see that here also the same in the video. These guitars pickups.
Since we will record also the sound of the video ...
This is, in principle, in terms of function, such as a pickup from an electric guitar.
You can theoretically from nem copper wire even wrap for a few €.
So you can listen to radio waves.
This can be easily integrated into its modular system, which you have built over these amplifiers.
Who has the same funtionsprinzip as the microphonic. This is the same, only with contact microphone.
The have been a while and now this "Coil" ... I think something like this is the,
because is the technical term for it. - Have the the same with this uranium module?
No that's ERROR INSTRUMENTS, which were the ones with these spikes in the beginning ...
-Ah okay! - And also a Gameboy module ... where eir it had it before.
So a real Gameboy from Nintendo.
- But this is indeed rather Experimental ... -To turns good Drone Sounds!
Where MusicThing Modular yes did everything possible instrumental also ...
I also have an eye on their spring reverb, including a spring back in there.
This is a small DIY kit which will cost € 100, but that's all sold out, because the sounds super cool.
just has a great sound for real little money. True, who had indeed
yet this tape ding! That's just the head of a tape recorder, right?
And fill in a few tracks tape that you see stuck here. And he just leaves.
The sound to be heard straight.
Like scratching. I have ever seen, this idea,
but now that there is a module ... - I wanted to say that the idea is not new just ...
I've seen this only as DIY kits now and that they really those things
need to produce in mass production. That's just not something else.
SONIC Potions
Also very cool! where one there waiting to death.
The guy is probably not really get going.
The now get so gradually the little things to the series
The Penrose I had built myself. With which I am also
pretty happy. This is a very fast quantizer. He should probably faster
be like eg the Döpfer device in contrast to it. One has since seen,
who have this dual oscillator, which still
to come out and nor any other module not ready for what
is should also come out. The all look very interesting
but you have no idea when the last to hit the market.
Stylish design and I think the idea here is not bad.
ADDAC SYSTEM
They had this beautiful tape delay, I just had to shoot ...
NOVATION
They were a very mysterious stood. - With such a large space, yes.
The haten yes newly introduced the "peak". but it was also impossible everywhere turn to
come and people are snake stood ...
in the foyer of a standing time around but stop without harps and sequencer and nothing
and as I could then nothing rausholen unfortunately. I would like to have time
tested. Is said such an analog / digital waste-be ... or was the completely digital?
- No, I think that is already analogous but has definitely several voices.
- Digital voice and analog filter? I can not remember ... you can also
read more detail online all who here are the details
interest to the individual devices. - there was the new drum machine yet ...
-This is no drum machine (I only themselves misunderstood), but that's almost like
a Bass Station 2, so to speak, only without harps. But with the Seqenzer off
So the Novation Circuit. -Also not a bad idea!
One can probably use Paraphon that one quasi then both
oscillators can drive sequencers so separated by 2. - Cool!
I found not bad, but you have to know yourself whether there for a bass station 2
makes more sense. Both together probably makes less sense ...
For someone like me, a sequencer is always more interesting than
to have keys.
RK - Retrokits They were here with the intelligent MIDI cable
-I agree. This is especially for people with Volcas
work interesting. - There nevertheless was something else ....
There's these little warning mixer. As DIY selbstbau kit for 20 or 25 €. Go I would still get me one of those. - Cool repays.
What had still ... this MIDI Hub
the quasi automatically detects how many inputs to the outputs many are off.
It is well no matter what you use as input because then recognize immediately: here comes
signal in - and then he immediately converts all about.
So is the signal then to all other outputs then.
You can probably use the merger as. So that you can have two input and then on
can create multiple outputs or so. That would be really exciting because such a thing could I myself also
imagine for me. If I somehow work with several sequenzenr and then
still want to distribute 2, 3 devices and possibly merge ... Since you can save money I think.
Because such merger kostetn also a bunch of money on the other manufacturers, I think.
So I find by itself from design her looks chic, it is
compact, nicely done, a good idea. This is something definitely what one eye
can keep. -How are called? RK - Retrokits
XOR Electronics What was that again? Oh this strange Rack! It looked
as if you were there taken C64 Commodore disks and pushed it somewhere
would or so. Also from the sequencer ago ... Yeah, very funny.
Was no one there who could tell us what .. - No. The probably wanted to sell anything!
-I think so ... -But I'll watch it anyway times online. Exciting. Looks like Multitracker.
WINTER MODULAR
What it was here again, I can not see it?
In addition to these cases? - The sequencer: Eloquenzer - Ah, that's right! from this step sequencer which one sees as the rack.
Next to it was someone who actually built only the cases.
The sequencer I have looked upon me not accurate.
Here was a workshop. -just as have the beautiful soldered.
there were also 1-2 Bastl instrument somewhere people.
Yes, that was just the Bastl workshop.
Just most of them have made Bastl instrument cases.
I want to actually still ask if they know what that means in German ...
True, those are Czechs, but maybe it's a similar word.
CLAVIA NORD
Was nothing intoxicating what one would have blown away.
you know actually what it was all there.
YAMAHA
Yamaha was mega crass! Very cool stand with stage. We came in there and just because you can also see the live musicians
had the set the focus on the Reface stuff and a bit performs.
I must say I was overwhelmed and really ... there were so many
Equipment around. Workstations - with whom I now do not really know much about.
Not only the workstations, provide a true piano ... even a grand piano! ...this direction.
Everything is designed for piano.
Is less for me that says I'll start now first with a pure square wave! - I have even
the Yamaha DX Reface. The is also chic. I would say, who knows the Microkorg and likes will also like the
in shape. Even with built-in speakers,
also battery powered, etc. So also quite nice on the go.
And no plastic toys, like the Volcas so a bit ... but that's really well made.
Here we stand on the killer Desk. Hammer part. Help!
Since I need first a new digs. - Me too!
I would not know where to stand that. - Then you continue ...
Synth-Werk
This is the Moog verschnitt. I agree.
Looked very nice, but one has since something great
belongs? I do not know. -A bit ... I do not even know whether one now hears ... We are only briefly
the eyes have stood still in front of us and drop it out of my head ...
ROLAND
Since I had the XA and Xi a bit recorded. I wanted to hear times.
That's the Roland System 8 Since I had otherwise only
Gisterüchte heard that it is intended to give maybe. The the the
Jupiter make eight times as Plugout ... but now seen for the first time.
Oh, that was my highlight! The little astronaut test!
There as extra again a video? How do I attach this thing inside?
Sure, of course! Our astronaut !! -The woman there was always afraid of my hair!
OK, I jest but also see that it looks a bit tight ... it was funny!
was fun! -The was nice there, all around to Roland everything was so
Astronauts moderate and NASA stuff.
Did you noticed that this trainer astronauts audio trigger had? - Yes has made sound.
There was such a small modular system on the side, one has but rarely heard.
As you can see it!
That was not so noticeable.
Polivoks That was really Witzig
The found you cool! - Who found my hair just great ... -He said the green suits their logo!
He would like to give to such a part for me! I find really cool, I'd like a home.
That is the replica of this old Polivoks. Geiler, dirty sound. Have so a bit
playing around. Which of course is wrong, is the Cyrillic lettering.
On the back is a translation. But I can imagine if you have such a at home,
you quickly out what everything means. -But for the first time is the stupid, yes.
SCHMIDT Exactly, this ultra ultra expensive things. 20,000 € oderso.
That was at Moog in the corner. -I agree
Also nice, but nothing new. So nothing that you have not seen before.
Here: Sub37, Sub Phatty, Moog Mother, Minimoog Model D's that right?
Since all people warning very busy. And since Cuckoomusic had a
Video shot and was accordingly as stop action and bustle ...
RME there was! - True, the interfaces. - Nothing but the brand I think that's great.
But true! They had something new: Interfaces I had never seen before. So I
think these are just newer models of the old interfaces.
So and so in terms of size ... I could not me unfortunately everything really
but look as I might also investigate again right.
Again go to the internet site and then look for commands again exactly.
But RME is always worthwhile. If you want to have an interface that really
sounds good, you do not get nearly over it.
Let's go to the next ...
TEGELER power mastering studio
hardware. What less for us
is interesting, I would say that. - repays Very impressive.
- Sure, very impressive from the look ago but nothing we somehow Us
could afford.
MODAL also nice from the look here. Oh those were the with this MORDOR
or as of yet named. On the lower floor we had to again
seen in white or? -Yes.
And I fande the Eurorackfliter of the Mordor good.
who had not a formant of the very, very clean sound but it was still
one hundred percent ready. So there were probably no buttons off the
function had until now. So he "said to me this is a prototype and
which is not very mature, "but
This part I found Schick!
Here we are imnächsten video ... I do not even remember which one was? -I unfortunately can me no more
quite to the brand recall as the hot
but I have the funny enough, a day later saw a competition on the internet
where you could win such a part. Where I then of course participate on an equal
had to. Won course I did not but
I found the super cool forth by the idea. Although it was not really even DIY
if it looks like. This is all just to put together and there's all
pre soldered. -I agree. And then you have such a small synth
is somehow monophonic but also can play chords. Somehow the chords can. There is also a
interface to that but can digitally control everything simply
can turn on the button analog. This then has the same effect. -Not bad!
What was the price? - He was ultra cheap, between 79 euros and 100 euros.
For this, does the really good! Exciting. So a beginner thing. We hide the name:
MFB
There was not much new. -Yes Dominion club was probably a new one.
I read here again just after ... The new Nanozwerg PRO
Who is now modular. I found the Nanozwerg always quite cool. I then had a time
Long himself at home. Who also always nice snotty sounds
given her. But at some point I just noticed
I actually almost no longer use the system always when my Modular
grew and so on ... Then he speak simply outlived its usefulness.
I've since sold to someone who was very very happy.
Has a wide grin as he ran out with it. But I guess that
was because because I made one very good price and do not share yes
be made and I've seen are for
sold over 200 €. What was not even the original price. - Oh crass!
Sold more expensive than it was then. - Yes, there are times when something is found and there is a special
had property. - I have to stop selling for the same price
I then bought it and so I thought this is a fair deal.
And he was happy. I can recommend it, right now
he Modular probably take a few extra features to you.
Where he had previously been semi-modular. Who had already CV and Gate etc
And LFO out, etc. What I have seen from the Dominion club, I'm not sure
whether the easy now only the mini-version is no idea of the Dominion 1,
or even Dominion X there yes, this great, right?
Was not bad but tried by sound forth itself, I have not got it,
was also busy on the stand.
What was there yet? Dancing mouse dancing bear and so what is familiar to MFB.
ROSSUM ... with this ultra funds Morpheus filter!
This cube. So who has a small display in which one felt a certain in every corner of the cube
Filter type can use and then there is probably a morphing function
so that you can then move between the corners back and forth and then
it morphs probably between these filter back and forth. Had it not made the
heard there but looks definitely super good but just as he looks
he is also the price lichen. So that is probably not particularly cheap, unfortunately.
But in any case, an interesting device.
EXPERT SLEEPERS Since I have a bit more but expect clear
who also have not so much in principle.
Since I was with it closer to ENDORPHINES. Was nice again a little chat with them.
Endorphines is simply one of my favorite brands which
As a modular, with ... at Expert Sleepers I come just a little bit
behind what made the sp. And this Disting's just very extensive.
But now that I understood the part
I am very happy with it and I've been thinking to get at least one second.
The Disting is simply a 16 in 1 device. Since you have the Phaser to delay, etc. but can also be a
Be oscillator, so you can easily switch as you please
and, for that reason because it is so versatile, you can it at least two or three
without hesitation put it in your modular system. There's even an SD-Card with
Sample playback and MIDI playback on it. So you can MIDI files on there
an SD card which are then fired to make modulus of the as CV or gate
signals. should both top brands that you definitely check out.
Endorphines show off their stark oscillator, which sounds very own with
Buchla Design I'd say now. Everything is so West Coast but inspired
Extra wave shaping section still in the process with.
As you get something for your money.
The Soulsby were cool! A digital thing. looks nice
trippy out. A mixture of a step sequencer and an effects unit. Although one probably because
may transfer the software back and forth, because that is all digital.
-From the modules there?
Not only the modules, also from the devices! - Ah ok! The link was an arpeggiator?
Yes, and that right was an effect unit. This had Delay etc string Machine is here.
Ahh true !!
Here we warn yet nervous on performance. The endorphins had a shuttle. It was nice once the complete things to see.
The other had a Moog. What exactly I have not seen. But both were from the sound ago
really pretty. That was live music improvisation. You could see that
but just do not know the part exactly what they're doing was interesting!
Not our music. But we have looked inside briefly. There were at
the fair ... maybe you can see that yes here ...
Full program! This is just on Saturday!
10:00 to 0:30 pm and from 19 o'clock was then the
Fair closed. Then there were only a few events, etc.
I now times do not count for how many points these are now ... anyway, we thought, for we
just pure stumble somewhere, it's ok, but if we do not spend our time here
trying to see only the people making music.
Let us first view equipment. But if we want to sit down anyway times, we go a look.
This was a nice break to breathe short order times. Because it was really exhausting, the
as by squeezing all the time between people.
We also have been through no workshops. Although there was the option ...
The fair was indeed from Thursday to Saturday.
So if you really want to take anything, and so all workshops .... So you have to
then really make every day. But for just one day? We were
then really quite in the bucket then! I do not even know when we're gone ... but hurt my feet!
Yes, that was steep.
Modor, again.
As we had previously seen this one video ... here are the small boxes.
There is also the filter I had mentioned earlier.
POLYEND That was this sequencer.
Since I'm here still something I had taken ... -Looks any case greatly from!
Has certainly more tracks. Reminds me a bit of the yamaha ... what is the name of again?
Yes, we did it! These were the videos! I hope it was not too
detail! We have not even a video of all ranks
made. But where we stopped I have my camera
draufgehalten for a comprehensive insight what it was since so.
So now: Ups and Downs - good and bad:
I was surprised that so much Modular were there! And I'm still not in the
enter modular synthesis! That's still not mine, of several
start ... And I was also surprised that some
Brands were not represented. Casio was not there,
Dave Smith Instruments was not even there. And also determines some
others that did not occur to me. There were definitely some brands
not there, with the one you might have expected.
I was disappointed also by Behringer stand ... - The Beginning dismantled.
We were there on Saturday ...
perhaps it was 16:00 or so. But it was the middle of the
Day of the fair. We have since paid admission, which were about 30/35 €
That was not so cheap. And we stand for Behringer and there is only one
Deep Mind 6 there. And the other: Model D, ...
Everything degraded already. I think Arturia already ...
- Arturia was only very small. I think the
were somewhere in the corner. - Ah can be! What did you have
issued: the black edition of the Beat Step Pro etc. So all one in black and
bit more cables are there there. But the matrix brute I did not
seen! Was there already gone? I thought that was a little breakdown ...
Then I think to myself: "Hey guys, on Saturday, as you can but really to the end
still hold out or "- Actually, yes was a bit of a shame..
Otherwise I might have wished for more "surprises".
So where I think to myself "Wow crass!" Such as the Roli Seaboard
or Harkon Continuum board what they had just seen since ... So input devices ... Or like this
PopAnalog what we had seen at the beginning ... Such things would have irritated me more.
Sequencers were some there. I thought that was nice. Modular course, was the crowd.
From KORG stand we have no videos strikes me straight!
The only thing was there a little surprised me was this Microkorg S
in white. Seems to be a normal Microkorg, only with more memory.
- Yes have now again a few things new, in white, brought out.
MS 20 also. - Really? OK! -Yes, just in white .... and no more! - Mh ... if you need that so ...
in ELECTRON Booth we were still been, but since we did not video. - Was there too full.
Since the hell was going on. was presented this
Digitakt what is effectively a sample machine. So MPC might mäßg.
Did not look so interesting. - Was for me not so exciting ...
Hexinverter I missed. The modules are from Canada.
Eie want but now that I know, draw in the summer in Berlin.
Who pretty cool drums. All my drums are
of Hexinverter. Which are now just back there and have some new
brought things out. Recently, a new filter have brought out
Now a while already to have. For a few days there is a
but the noise is oscillator volt per octave controlled, so you can the noise in
alluding different pitches. And then probably still want
what rausbringen where done so far is still a mystery why. So you
only seen such a small part of the panel but you do not know what
that's even etc ... Whether this is an oscillator, or only
an effects unit. I have no Idea. - And they were not represented at all?
-No not diewaren there. I have not seen at least. - You have to say now,
this is the second time that the exhibition has taken place. I know
how big the first was not and who was there ... - But the was pretty hyped.
So after the popular brands that now also large
are ascended, so like Roland etc ... Let's see. I think the bottom line:
go back next year !? -I guess so. Yes.
Maybe even one day again. - So every 3 days are too much. - And me too expensive, quite honestly.
One day is enough for me to look around a bit around.
And I had my "Aha!" Moments and a lot of things that I liked.
I did astronaut training! That was it! I say now times ...
Thanks to all who have persevered for so long!
