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

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.

Thumbs up!

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.

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?

definitely Snake's a dark-sound connoisseur

The M8 is better, I have both

Listening to David talk about synths...what a joy

Great! Thanks

whatnot

Great info Craig!

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?

Behringer just released a clone of this. I wonder how they sound compare to the original.

Thank you.

Great video! Please make more DD videos.

thank you for explaining ! great stuff

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

Always reminds me of Edward Norton … another great video.

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!

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

The original is more raw for the sound

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?

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!

Thanks man - love that.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great demo .

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.

Has anyone told you that you could be the long-lost twin brother of actor Matthew Perry rip 🙏

Thanks for Sharing! Thanks for showing off the peak !👍🏻

The Iphone store has an Er-1 emulator, for anyone interested.

It's something that Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers usually use

Love this video. The main guy that does all the talking is just so excited about everything. One of the best "studio tour" videos Ive watched, simply because of how genuine and excited he is about everything hes got. Great job.

Awesome Craig!

Cool demo. Have you ever played with the Take 5? It’s very similar except for the filter and a few other things. One thing you might not have been aware of is LFO 2 defaults to reset on each note on an init patch, which is why you didn’t hear the full effect of it in your arp patch. You can change that in the program menu. Another trick: when using envelope 1 as “Aux” there’s a dedicated mod slot for it in slot 19 and the Amount knob on the envelope sets the depth of that mod slot so you can change it on the fly from the panel. LFO1 and LFO2 have dedicated slots too that their amount knobs control (and you can get directly to those slots with the Dest buttons).

Can’t believe you never mentioned Loopmasters. Surely they are the next biggest after splice

If in the eurorack domain, a cost effective option is the Michigan Synths SY0.5 clone. Obviously only if you're already down that rabbit hole, because going down it to begin with certainly isn't cost effective ha.

How did you get the teo 5 already? (and for a couple weeks already at that!?)

Very informative. As a suggestion please keep sounds a bit quieter. This cicada is overly loud. Especially because it’s full of transients.. ☺️

Great demo!

Seemingly you had the Teo audio only on local speakers and picked the sound up through your microphone. That, unfortunately, yields a very poor quality result. i'm still waiting for any demo with proper audio. My interest in this instrument is currently based on specs alone, and i would sell my Matrix 6 to get one of these. i do understand the Oberheim and DSI companies are delighted about this instrument, but until now they (superbooth and this video) fail to bring some enthusiasm to me too.

Now wait a minute. You can't say "is this the greatest bass machine out there?" and then flippantly say "no" like "of course not silly" and then NOT say what you think is better. That's a tease that I fear you don't really have an answer to. Otherwise why not mention other bass machines that are better? Curious. Calling your bluff as if you are too cool to say this IS the best bass machine. Prove me wrong! I want you to!

great series Craig, I’m really getting drawn to a Moog One right now it seems like the god of synths with a price tag to match, I already have 6 Moogs and there is nothing that sounds like those filters despite the changes with Moog lately, look forward to seeing more, thanks for putting it together 👌🏼

excellent video.
