How to Build a Compact DAWLESS Synth Setup for Techno… under $1000 // Summer of Synths
You did a pretty good job of chopping up a sample!
Still feel i made a mistake and chose polybrute over the hydra synth deluxe.
first synth I have heard that has the 3D sound that the old Memory Moog had. Just dimensional and vivid.
Can you see the notes entered in the pattern like the Sampltrek on the screen?
No i dont think you can in that way
If you want to work on more than one song or project at the same time, you need synths with memory and midi program changes; and also a digital mixer and effectboxes with memory.
Can’t wait for this to be available!
This company always impressed me.
I’d love a video covering the soft/apps that come with these, talking about DAW integration, motion recording, playback, etc
for a minute I thought you were going to play golden brown @01:59...
Awesome demo BoBeats! Sounds great looks horrible...lol. I'll wait till the noir edition comes out. My 6 banger will do just fine . There are loads of after market sounds out there for it. Have a great weekend 😀. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.
Thanks for watching!!
I'm gonna sell my CS80 and JP8 so I can buy this bad boy!!
What does it means the Sync ? The Kaosspad can Sync samples? Or only the LFO and delay speed..? Can you record your performance in an SD card..?? Thanks..😜
If they manage to pull up overbridge where you can record the stereo tracks plus fx i am definitely going to get it.
I looked at the price and laughed and laughed and laughed. I needed that.
Don't look up the Moog One, you might end up in the hospital from abdominal rupture from laughing so much 😆
Let's grab a popcorn, Bo is building something! 😉pop
Even though it’s got a crap keybed. I still think the JDXI is the best all rounder beginner synth that packs a punch for a very reasonable price!
Goddamnit i love it. Way high, but damn its just trippy. Hmmm....do i need three minilogues ? Dayum ...
I’m no beginner but I just love my two Minilogues (and Monologue) as they constantly inspire, mix well, and are resilient to being moved around a lot. Beauties. But Korg really have a problem with their pricing models on everything above the NTS’s, it’s a headscratcher how far off the mark they are at the mo :(
I cut my teeth on a Monotribe which is great fun but recently decided that a "proper" synth was required to improve my esoteric musical ramblings and the XD was no brainer as it's so tactile, easy to use and you can lose hours fiddling away with nobs and switches.
Happy I did not buy the 6 Voice Version, even I had it quite many times in my basket... 12 Voices makes much more sence to me... Just worry what the price will be... I think it catches the 3000 line as well... Then its for me in the End just a question Polybrute 12 or UDO Gemini... I think in the same Price Range, same features, same analog feeling.... heavy decision..
I love SAW teeth.
I must admit that I've never seen Arturia as more than noise machines because of their - well - brutal sounding mono synths, but this one sparks my interest. The oscillators and filters sound really fine. And it has that old style analog vibe that the other modern analog/hybrids lack. It's close to the CS-80, as somebody mentioned in the comments, but it still has its own "thing". And I love the matrix! It's really easy to understand. I don't know if there's anything i miss in this synth. It seems to have it all.
it was the best synth ever if it had multimode SSM filter + one full digital oscillator imported from Minifreaq
Love those packages for newbies that are clueless about modular, starting with me!! I'd definitely love to get my hands on a PM Voltage 2, I'll start saving some money. Thanks for sharing Bo!
Im leaning towards my first synthesizer pickup to be a Behringer Model D. Basic, powerful, and bound to make me learn how to sculpt a sound
I had some budgets synths come and go but Minilogue XD will stay in my possession, possibly forever... BTW, there are some new interesting user oscillators from tsoniq in case somebody missed it.
For 4K I'd get the Nonlinear C15.
The synth sounds really fantastic, but am I hearing some sticky keys? It sounds like the key releases might not be registering every time.
how much?
Its in the title
@@BoBeats thank you!
Nice work, Bo. I really liked the patterns you created for this vid. Stereo really makes a difference, it's their best-sounding sampler imo. Very soulful machine!
Minilogue XD module is one of my favorites. You have helped me pick all my synths. Bass Station II, Peak, SE-02, Minilogue XD Module, Cobalt8M, Digitone and Digitakt. 61SLMKIII to run it all. I am a drummer originally until I started this new addiction! Thanks Bo!!!
Hope the drums still get some love!!
Looks pretty cool .. must be a little heavy though !
Its very heavy
It does not have a sequencer???
It does
They need to make a standalone SPARK drum machine.
The nifty bundle really nailed it with the entry kit. Its more than usable for any skill level but packs in a million features that a beginner likely wouldn't have. the quarter inch out is awesome. I had a thousand dollar budget when buying in to modular, and I was able to get a zadar, ensemble and wasp filter and the nifty bundle was able to tie in all the necessary functionalities as well as getting an Lfo on chips and cellz was fun while I had it, but quickly got replaced with my beatstep pro.
One of the most helpful videos I've come across: straight to the point, assertive, no beating around the bush, and really thought-provoking. The world of synthesizers and electronic music is fascinating, but it's common to feel, after delving into so much information, watching numerous videos, and investing in equipment, that one can do more than they actually can. It truly resonated with me...
wonderful design
don't care what anyone says. This machine is lovely.
Really awesome review, thank you!
it's sluggish... not good!
How many HP is it? I'm assuming its Eurorack compatible?
Each section is 90 HP and fully EuroRack compatible.
What do you use for amplifying your music live. Do you have a personal pa or another setup if there is no pa to plug into ? Curious
Pathetic. An extra €350 for a paint job. Bo, really poor show.
so the video isnt about the paint job. the video is about the XD as a whole, which is still available. The paint job weirdly priced for some reason in europe but not in the US, don't quite know why
I still think the beginner should have full sized keys, whether a beginner synthesist and keyboardist or a beginner synth user but a master on keyboards. Today's best deal is a Behringer MS-1 + one MIDI cable + a Roland Boutique JX--08. A great monosynth, plus a great 20 voice digital synth all with surface control. $620.
its tricky, alot of people struggle with just getting one synth to work for them... at least people who ask me for advice :)
@@BoBeats You are certainly correct about that my friend. The same people who don't understand computer hierarchy file systems will not understand much anything else.
Love the new look! But Gosh Darn, 300€ EXTRA only for a new paint job, that's just robbing people.
so weirdly the price is the same in US for xd and inverted (679 or something) but in europe its more expensive. Dont know why
Now that I think of it, the same happened with the Minilogue Bass, and now its price went down below 600€. That said, and apology for not saying it in the first place, great overview. It definitely is on my wishlist!
So educate them by not buying it! The power is in your hands.
I would go for a Behringer Deepmind 12. You can scratch the surface and then move to a much deeper synth. Yes people, Behringer.
DM12 is quite neat and also an original design! i personally have very little experience with it however
So this........or spend 2k on a custom built modular system?
Harbor Freight making synths now? Jk lol Pittsburgh
I'm not going to lie Bo, but my Xd is on the floor atm waiting to go back in its box. Every time I use it, I find that it gets lost in my mixes, now I record live so all my synths are playing and being recorded separately, the thing is when I play my Xd alone, I can hear it perfectly, when playing with other gear, it's always lost in the mix and I cannot hear it live. I find I reach for the input gain on the ADAT but it's being recorded as hot as it can. I can recover the sound in post but it always gets lost in a live mix. Either my unit is faulty or it just does not like to play along with my other gear. :/
I feel you. Sometimes gear doesnt fit in the mix. And sometirms it takes up too much space and u gotto work hard to EQ and compress it
@@BoBeats Yeah it is a killer when you try to do live sets for sure.
FedX is delivering mine today.
