Review: Robkoo Wind Synthesizer R1 🎶

🎶 I've always wanted to try an Electronic Woodwind Instrument, and the lovely people at Robkoo have sent me their Wind Synthesizer R1 to have a play with. 🎶
The app that I mention in the video is called Jamkoo, and is available for Apple and Android.

[@robkoo_official]

We are so glad that you enjoyed it!🤣

[@richardlindesay]

Very much thank you!

[@MagicSnail-so6jq]

This instrument looks amazing! I think the songs played with it will be magnificent

[@richardlindesay]

I look forward to writing the songs and sharing them with you

[@oskargebczyk3976]

It sound's totally awesome! Can't wait to hear more of you're songs using this!

[@richardlindesay]

Thanks you I can’t wait to make new songs with it!

[@esstee0605]

I love the oboe. I bet you could make an amazing oboe song!

[@richardlindesay]

I will put it on the list

[@thewardflock4673]

At this point Richard should do a video with all the instruments

[@richardlindesay]

Eight hours long

[@djredshow]

My step daughter would love this.

[@richardlindesay]

It’s a really nice instrument

[@djredshow]

Yeah 600 American bucks woo-hoo bout the same price I paid for her tenor sax a few years ago. It's cool though and I used to be a dj and I can see many things it would be cool for. Definitely worth a buy.

[@richardlindesay]

@@djredshow yeah I can see where the money went with developing this, it’s very nice quality and the sound samples are excellent.

[@zetho.270]

That’s pretty cool lol

[@avarice02]

[@Model3140digitalalarmclock]

Wait, your Australian, so we gotta get Kazoo with a Kangaroo.

[@richardlindesay]

Oh yes that’s a possibility

[@roecatgaming]

Next song is Merlin in Berlin, or Ocarina in Argentina?

[@richardlindesay]

Merlin I’d say

[@luvsunooxx]

RICHARD I HAVE A PROBLEM! I keep singing recorder in the corner, and my mum is getting sick of it what do I do!?

[@richardlindesay]

Keep going maybe she will get used to it

[@luvsunooxx]

@@richardlindesay So wise!

[@PhilGeissler]

Can the animated lights be turned off?

[@richardlindesay]

Yes they can and they adjust to the amount you breathe, I just had them turned off as sometimes social media used to mistake it for a vape.

[@kaine000]

This or the flute, what do you prefer

[@richardlindesay]

Flute as I’ve played it much longer so this has to prove itself

[@DukeofDenmark2]

I learned Sitting in The corner, playing my recorder, On my violin. Should i play The version On my channel, and send it to you?

[@richardlindesay]

Great! Put it in your channel and I’ll send people to it.

[@DukeofDenmark2]

@@richardlindesay Ok, it Will come out in 24 hours! I just need to set The clips, and stuff together! :)

[@DukeofDenmark2]

@@richardlindesay done

[@yarnns_gr]

This instrument would be perfect for a remix in a song. It would be even better if you did the thug shake while doing it

[@richardlindesay]

Going to use it in a bunch of songs soon, it’s so cool

[@azw409]

What's the latency like? I've tried the re:corder which is similar but it's just unplayable for fast passages.

[@richardlindesay]

I found similar with the re.corder, and this feels much more like a grown up instrument with better pads and just more reactive and easier to play. For playing live I’ve only used it plugged in, so with a 6.5mm Jack to an audio interface / speakers, so doesn’t have any noticeable delay. I’ve used midi ble for playing into a DAW, but I don’t play it at speed for that use case. But yeah overall it feels like a more professional instrument, I suggest checking out Robkoo’s videos where they have people give them a proper play at higher speeds than you see me play in this video.

[@mycosys]

Sylphyo is incredibly fast (capacitive sensors, so you have to actually slow them down to your tatste) and designed for low latency (to the point it has its own wireless module, not bluetooth, to save latency).
I was wondering the same (and what the breath response is like) for this

[@Sealoneal5001]

Hello I have a bearded dragon

[@richardlindesay]

They’re lovely but hard to impress

[@darshansooful9559]

You seem like you’d host a CBeebies show in the early 2010s.

[@richardlindesay]

If I had a Time Machine I’d take that job

[@bzstewartfilms8371]

Does it come with headphones?

[@richardlindesay]

No you have to supply your own

[@UraniumFever3]

If I was a woodwind player I would be a woodwind player but too bad I’m a brass player

[@art8792]

it's a gg for steve and lucy, no match for merlin. merlin is literally multiple instruments in one instrument, there is no way steve any lucy are winning that

[@MrJON3S]

How much vape juice does it hold?

[@richardlindesay]

You’ve been on the lives

[@Snowpea333]

Its awesome but i dont know about the echo

[@richardlindesay]

You can adjust the reverb on it, I had it on medium.

Why don't you say that in your review?

[@shiver_gt]

Let’s hope this instrument doesn’t get you in any more risky situations…

[@richardlindesay]

That is a risk
