    Oh man, I should have held onto my Oxi one, I had it very early on and it kept freezing and crashing and irritated the hell out of me. Seems it’s grown to be a hell of a beast. Looking to get a sequencer again and finding myself choosing between the two, but it’ll probably be the deluge because it’s also a hell of drum machine and rompler too. At least from the last time I used the Oxi, surfing around the grid piano roll was much smoother with the deluge for me, but this was a while ago. The real answer is I shouldn’t have sold either hehe

    I'm assuming, firstly you don't know how to play piano? Therefore this isn't going to matter as much to you? If you were a piano and a guitar player, this might not be on your "me no likey like like" Iist. The point isn't pulling up plug-ins live, the point is to records all the backing band material you need, with as much density on sound as you like, and having that on stage with you, as FINISHED projects to play the guitar, or the keys along with, BY YOURSELF so you didn't need anybody. You just have to record and save the songs at home. Play then on stage with your guitar hooked right into it, or play the keys. IT'S FUCKING BRILLIANT. Is it brilliant for playing along in a pointless improv jazz troop, taking their turns wanking off a bunch of solo's "alright Jim, walk her on home!" NO! IT'S NOT THANK GOD! Is it perfect for me, a multi-instrumentalist who loves to craft original songs, needs to play them live, and doesn't have time for all the flakey musicians and Craigslist fantasy bullshitters! YES! NO ONE HAS EVER DONE THIS, IT'S BRILLIANT, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW, AND DON'T DO, WHAT IT IS THERE FOR. IT'S NOT SO YOU CAN TAKE ACID AND HAVE AN OPEN JAM WITH STEVE AIOKI IN SOME LAS VEGAS WET DREAM OF YOURS. ( Or,...... Maybe mine FINE! YOU CAUGHT ME!) But really, this thing is nothing but a god send. Pre-record and save. Play along live. Not for improv. Simple. Your welcome. Do another video. Say yer sorry bo. Don't make me find out what city yer in bubba. What dawg?!? WHAT?!?? 🛸🐑🧬🧠🤖🤮🫨🇺🇸✝️🤙🤙🤙

    You are on par with many synth RUclipsrs in terms of information, knowledge and such, but you are next level with your sense of detail: In many situation you do exactly the right thing. if you mention how you have to keep re-adjusting the start point when previewing clips on the MPC, it's obvious that the best way to illustrate it is by showing how you do it on the MPC. This requires you to start up the MPC and record a clip of how it works. Not many would go that extra mile. You use two cameras and routinely switch eye contact from one camera to the other for cuts. It feels very thought out and I'm thoroughly impressed. You also boil the whole video down to something that contains the same information, but is 50% shorter than other similar Videos on RUclips. thanks for respecting our time. Your content is a delight to watch. An expensive delight, because now I'm looking for a Polyend Tracker - mostly to see if the workflow really is as good as it looks. Sample slicing, which is arguably the bread and butter of many producers' workflow, certainly seems to beat the Digitakt by a mile.

  • @artephank
    @artephank 14 дней назад

    While I really liked the review, I can’t agree with the „not enough” buttons argument. m8 has phenomenally though out UX and Is very fast to learn basic operations (there is only couple of „Combos” that work similarly on every screen) and then - you don’t even need to think or look on the screen. The problem with too many buttons (like on Polyend) is that it is way more cumbersome to use. Both have learning curve, both are great in their own thing, but when talking about buttons - in my opinion M8 have an edge. I agree that they both crave different demographics - one (Polyeend) is based on classical Tracker experience (Fastracker, Noisetracker, Protracker etc), ie trackers existing on computers, while M8 is based on LSDJ (grom GameBoy) - those are totally different experiences and ideas behind. I personally think that m8 paradigm works better in portable form factor, but „traditional” trackers (ie Polyend Tracker) are easier to grasp for novices.

    Hey, Since you also have/had the circuit rhythm, how to do like them both? I have the circuit rhythm and the only thing that really bothers me is the fact that patterns are limited to 32 steps and resolution is not great. Everything else seems to be better on the circuit rhythm: recording sample, resampling, probability, poly rhythm… What are your feelings?

    • @MidlifeSynthesist
      @MidlifeSynthesist 15 дней назад

      Hey! That’s a great question! Even though they are definitely similar, they are extremely different in workflow and functions. I’d say the K.O. II is faster to work with and is easier to take to very weird territory as well as improvise live thanks to the fader, while the circuit might be deeper and easier to sequence more complex patterns. I think its worth it to try them out and see which one speaks to you more, they are both amazing machines, though I feel you can easily run into their limits as well. Thanks for watching my friend!!

    Cool video. Exactly what I was looking for to get me motivated to use mine.

      Hey!! Thanks for watching! Don’t worry, we’ve all been there lol. In this case, the Astrolab is acting as a sound library. Since the main appeal of the MPC is sampling and sequencing, the Astrolab compliments it by feeding it a wide palette of sounds from different synth engines. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for watching my friend!

    Haven't you read the manual? No banging on the OXI.

    I started working on a song on my DT1 for similar, gas-quelling, reasons 😂

    The original op1 was out for years - and te let a rumor distort the market to up the price. Synthstrom are a class act. Polyend did the dirty. I know what you're saying and it would be nice to be ethical but look at Te as an example. They let a rumor spread - said nothing and when people were tricked to buy at higher prices, the TE price went up. At no point did they look to quieten the rumor and they used it. Polyend could have done many things. In truth, many things but they didn't.
