Alert Tracker has a synth engine update now 2.0
I'm hyped to give it a good test to see what I can get out of it.
this was a great walkthrough cheers i spent the whole time trying to work out where’s the person eating crisps i can hear ..it’s the microphone rubbing on your neck
Thank you and I do apologize for the mic rubbing. I couldn't work out what it was when I was editing and then I realized and though ahhhh man
How good is this unit at producing solic kick drums?
It's ok at best. I think there are loads of other machines that can do that job a lot better.
This reminds me a lot of a. smaller scaled down version of my Analogue Solutions Leipzig v2.
Oh yeah, I never had a solid go of that machine but I can see the similarities
I love the simplicity of this device and sliders!
Sometimes when a machine just does a small number of things really well it crushes.
Don't hear anything that you could do with better results on any other synth, just compare to the roland s-1 that you can find for the same price.
I hear that. I haven't played on the S-1 so I can't compare but I do hear good things about it.
I love this little machine ❤️ great work
Thank you and thanks for watching.
How am I the first person to comment on this?!? It’s a beginning tutorial using a specific vintage synth, sure, but it translates to so many other synths. And it sounds great! Thanks Craig.
Thank you! I'm just happy that people watch the video and can take some of the techniques for their own productions.
That was good 👍 For LaLa, the third note should be up by 3 semi tones, its hard to hear but it is.
Good shout, thanks for that!
@@craigwilliamsmusic I hope you do more of these.
I’ve got an Arturia AudioFuse 16 rig and an IConnectivity MioXL arriving from Sweetwater today, 6/25/24. I’m super stoked to finally get my studio all connected up and properly routed with good, clean, organized cable management. Appreciate this video 🔥
Awesome!! I think those devices should set you up nicely. Thank you for watching.
Although I do not have Polyend Mini,I totally agree with you about being able to see a big picture containing details of a song in Polyend Mini. I have had M8 for more than 2years now but I still got overwhelmed by its functions(for example: so many unusual effects and of course the Table.) so for the more choices I have to make in order to make a song. In other word, M8 is too capable in a special way. haha. I am sure it will be very powerful once you can handle it properly. After while muscle memory helps the process. I am not sure but in order to make what you are really intended to make takes extra learning with M8. I know magic happens in accidents but I want to know how that accident happens and be able to repeat them when I want to. Maybe I just need more limitation to get creatively productive. Anyway I am still trying to get comfortable working with M8 so I can play with it not get intimidated by it. Sorry about my English. Cheers
Thanks for watching. I'm pretty comfortable with the device but I don't find myself really developing new ideas with the device. I find that I fall into some old habits.
I had one of these more than 20 years ago. I never really liked the sound, as I wanted a complete drum machine. But yeah the bleeps and bloops are cool.
It def has it's place and it's sound. I will always go to the Elektron and Roland boxes for the meat and potato's drums but for bleeps and bloops this is my go too.
Thumbs up!
Thanks for watching!
I'm not a huge fan of the Nubass, but it's fun, easy to use, sounds pretty good, is small, battery powered and looks cool! I guess that's what the Volcas are all about.
100% It has it's place and I will use it as a layer but rarely will it be the main element.
So asking this as a total music newbie and new m8 headless user - where do you get your samples/sounds from and how do you go about recording them?
I will create sounds using the other boxes in the studio or record found sounds with my field recorder. You can also grab free sounds from places like Wavetick.com
@@craigwilliamsmusic thank you!
definitely Snake's a dark-sound connoisseur
100% his music is super dark and his personality is super bright. A really good place to be.
The M8 is better, I have both
I'm selling my M8.
@@craigwilliamsmusic don’t do it
Listening to David talk about synths...what a joy
100% So much knowledge and super nice and humble to share the information.
Great! Thanks
whatnot
Hahahahahhaa
Great info Craig!
Thank you!!
I love how you're getting all these matter of fact questions. Which you answer, matter of factly. 😂 How does the furniture fasten together? Does it feel solid like the good IKEA stuff or the wiggly flavor that wants to rhombus?
It feels a little better than Ikea. It uses screws and the turn lock fasteners. For the last 4-5 months I have had a Launchkey 88 on the slide out drawer. I can't slide it in due to the size but it feels very solid on the draw.
Behringer just released a clone of this. I wonder how they sound compare to the original.
They sound pretty good to me. Cheap too. I LOVE Uli!
There isn't much to the original so I'm sure it will get you pretty close and for a cheap price. I'm not mad at them releasing this clone since it hasn't been produced for some years other than smaller companies making clones or Modular units.
Thank you.
You're welcome, thank you for watching.
Great video! Please make more DD videos.
I think it is about time that I made some more Deckards videos.
thank you for explaining ! great stuff
Thank you for watching!
Very compact and versatile set up! How do you input sequences into the Blackbox - play them in or import midi files? I thought the Blackbox would be perfect for midi sequencing but find it difficult to work with so have just been using it for stems and field recordings
The Blackbox let's you import MIDI clips which is great when you have a longer sequence. You can even add program changes within the clip. You can write MIDI notes on the Blackbox but it can be a little tedious when you're writing chord progressions and what not.
Always reminds me of Edward Norton … another great video.
Edward Norton wishes he was this cool
Hahahahahahaha thank you.
I don't know he is pretty cool hahahahaha
This video is awesome, thank you! Curious how you went about adjusting the MIDI notes. Did you mod it to do MIDI? Or was it CV I/O? I just ordered mine, eager to get my hands on it. My plan is to jam out, record the audio output into my DAW, and slice and dice. The thing about syncing with the bpm is a real issue though, what app were u talking about in the vid? 0.0 thanks!
Thank you. I picked up the MIDITribe kit a while back. I didn't cut the case or anything so I still have the cables hanging out of the battery bay. Not the best but I know I would have messed it up if I cut it.
u didnt go unison on arp cause this synthesizer has only 5 voices and u used to much release. I say it again only 5 voices
The Korg ER-1... The happy little accident beat machine 😇👍 hm²
100% I love it for that.
The original is more raw for the sound
I haven't played the original so I can't compare.
WoW
The more novation peak tutorials on youtube the better.
Thanks! I am hearing a bit of weird distortion in "No so basic pad", my ears are not so well calibrated or it is by design?
By design, I love to push the pads a little more to give them a rougher sound.
Muito bom espero ver o a continuação. Très bien j'espère voir la suite. Bravo
Thanks for the tutorial. I recreated the patch along to your video and learned a lot. More Peak-Videos would be appreciated!
I will be doing more but I'm trying to spread it out with other synths too. Most of the sounds I make on other poly synths will transfer over to the Peak.
Thanks man - love that.
Thanks for watching!!
That sequence was awesome but it could have been more effective imo if built it up more slowly starting with a a quarter note hi hat and only one kick on the one of each measure than an eighth note hi hat with a kick added on one and three of every measure then keep adding minor variations until finally a full track kicks in.
Thanks for the feedback. The idea definitely needs a lot of work.
Thank you for this, Craig. Even though I don’t make the kind of dance track that you presented TEO-5 in the context of, it was so great hearing it in that context. At the end of May 2024 when I’m commenting, I can safely say that I would seriously consider getting this synthesizer if I hadn’t already ordered myself a Hydrasynth Explorer and was not prioritizing a new computer as my next major purchase. It definitely has several features that I could go for, one of which is that it might be a companion to my first generation Oberheim, a Matrix 1000. Another is that all for the analog polyphonic synthesizers I have owned it over the last 20 years and counting (one of which I no longer have) have been DCO models. It would make a sweet change getting one with VCOs and the same front panel layout as the different monophonic ones I’ve owned.
Thank you. The Hydrasynth is a great instrument and I think you will have loads of fun with it. The TEO-5 will be around for many years. If you do end up wanting to purchase it there should be more content around so you can make an informed decision.
I love very much korg ms-20 it cool makes sample hold sounds,i think you must try to make. By the way i advice you to use esp for s/h too.
Thank you. I might have a look and make another video exploring some more patches.
Man that tape sound trick - incredible. Reminds me of Tboacco's Sweatbox Dynasty album's sound - the track Fantasy Trash Wave in particular. Nicely done!
Thank you, I'll have to check out the track.
Great demo .
Thank you!!
I always get stuck on when I try to combine synth sounds with other sounds. I hope these tips are going to help… but it is kind of hard to follow your video because your “mix” is entirely imaginary. I think it would have made sense to add some other instruments and to do the illustrations of what fits in the mix and what doesn’t fit in the mix by trying these pads out with the other instruments.
Maybe I can do a mixing synths video and show what I have done on a number of finished tracks. I think that will be the best way to show the techniques rather than just talking about them.
Has anyone told you that you could be the long-lost twin brother of actor Matthew Perry rip 🙏
Hahahahahha no, that is a first for me.
Thanks for Sharing! Thanks for showing off the peak !👍🏻
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
