Before the robots get here … I just wanna say that I built my PC about 4 1/2 years ago with your videos. It has never crashed, it’s been running great, the best PC I’ve ever had. Thank you and have yourself a great day.
Ha, brilliant 🤩
Another fantastic roundup, sir! I am really excited to get my hands on Erica Synths Labor. Not only for my own prototyping, but my kids (ages 9 and 12) are taking an interest and learning how to solder. I love that Erica Synths is really taking an educational route. AND… Thank you for the kind words on the Slight of Hand, and Arp of Darkness. I’m so excited for you to play with the AOD. I hope you find it enjoyable, and useful!
Loved the Reason 13 bit. Lol :D
Thumbs up for the Rosco P. Coltrane reference, wasn't expecting that. LOL
it's funny what knocks around inside your head
Thank you Robin for being so busy sorting out all this software and gear for us. We'll see you Sunday night!
I loved that Modular on the roof channel too - really inspiring for simple set up in a romantic urban setting!
Really interesting thoughts on technology potentially taking over the world, taking our jobs etc....we have good reason to be concerned!
(singing loudly) "IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME ............ OF THE MONTH!!"
Yep.... indeed, Robin, it's definitely "Brooks-A" (but I would say that wouldn't I???). Thanks for the lovely "Monthly", always fab!
Looking forward to you takes on the Telepathy bundle and Tetrachords. Tetrachords just got some powerful new beta software.
Always a pleasure , Robin,-
We've had arm based surfaces at work and they are a total nightmare..... As things don't work with them.. I'd steer very clear of them if it was my pennies....
Nice to see ST Modular featured. (are we not saying "Labyrinth"?)
Certainly not
What what what did I just hear a rooster in the back ground?
Da Plane! Da Plane!
Great question. Intentional Music vs Generative music.It's become as relevant as the Analog vs Digital question. There are many of these today. Players vs Programmers, Acoustic vs Electronic, Modular vs Computer vs Synthesizer, DAW vs Live, Improv vs Written, educated musicians vs self-taught, hobbyists vs artists. In the end it's all music, but when the gear does all the work, what does the musician become? Are modular sound generators really that different than using a computer's plug-in generators to do the same? Is a parameter Tweaker a musician at all? All pertinent, all important to someone.
All the questions 😁
@@MoltenMusicTech Ain't it the truth, and we remember when it was really simple for the average, Joe. To play, or not to play. Now, infinite ???????'s, and a never ending stream of new choices, daily. Lucky, we have you to tell US all, what the Heck's going on.
Perhaps your humour flew over my head, but Erica's "Labor" does not stand for "labour" but rather "laboratory" (like the German word and possibly other languages).
Oh I expect it does but it’s my job as an English man to ignore that and make a mess of things
Now that Windows doing what it is doing... and Apple is what it is, expensive mostly. About time trying Linux, again?
FlatSix impressed me the most this time and get 10 points for innovation and stuff.
I'm too old to learn a largely unsupported OS - i want an easier life :D
this is the year of the Linux desktop! 😂 (honestly though, I've come to the end of the road with Windows, and their new "take snapshots every 30 seconds and store them on Microsoft computers")
@@MoltenMusicTech I get you, and understand, but I'm really really old myself, and remember Linux mint as easy and sort of similar to windows, but better support. A bit like the support from the community on modwiggler, but faster. Also I'm into eurorack so obviously I like problems ; )
@@russ254 Microsoft Recall got recalled.
I think the absence of real musical talent began to show its claws with the advent of sampling and software such as acid. I've had so many acquaintances show me their latest song they said they created/wrote and it was totally put together by combining pre-recorded patterns. Having the computer do this for you, albeit with patterns generated from a pool of programmed instructions which one culls from, is about the same thing. But if there's joy in the creation and in the listening despite the origin, does it really matter? Is "AI shaming" another form of bullying? I think that musicians who play their instruments (and I'm including those who patch their modular) have a greater chance for success if they showcase live performances whenever possible. Bottom line, it's all music and not guns and that means a lot to me - which doesn't mean it has to mean a lot to anyone else. My sentiment. Cheers Robin.
Good words
You had me in the first half. Well put!
Lol, I started out using acid pro, copying and pasting prefab loops. Thought I was making some cool industrial music, but most sounded like rave or techno. Never sold any but entered contests n stuff online. FFWd 10 years, and my cousin with no prior experience arranging music in a Daw, used it to make his own cds with several tracks he copied and pasted together and sold them at work.. 🤦🏻♂️ I should have just quit back then before wasting any more money on gear 😅
@nickdestruct well, that comes down to what your goals are. Are you making a product for sale? Are you making sounds for yourself to listen to? Are you playing music for the joy of playing, without a care for whoever else might listen? Are you making love song specifically to reach a special someone?
Huge variety of motivation and goals that can lead a person to make music. And just as many ways to judge your success.
Man no offense but you look like a crossover between Lemy Kilmister and Piers Morgan
Ich war vor einigen Jahren immer treuer Zuschauer seiner Sendungen, wo er noch die MS Laptops "getestet" hat. Bin aber wieder abgewandert als er angefangen hat, zu sehr dieses Modularzeugs zu promoten. War heute mal wieder bei ihm und es ist noch schlimmer geworden: Überall dieses Kabelzeugs - ich kanns nicht verstehen - was treibt diese Leute dazu sich mit diesen Modulen zu beschäftigen - es klingt immer nach den Moog-Burgen in den frühen 80zigern- und 90ziger Jahren, wobei sogar ein Klaus Wunderlich - einer der besten Orgelvirtuosen - sich geradezu genötigt sah, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen - und so ist auch eine seiner der m. E. besten LPs entstanden: "Uraltedelschnulzensynthesizergags" hat er das genannt - und er war ein Kalauer, er hat sich über alles lustig gemacht ...
Well, it takes all sorts. I guess we are bored by different things.
@@MoltenMusicTech Das ist wohl war, aber: Wieviele Musiker nutzen wirklich dieses Kabel-Hardware-Zeugs. Ich habe das Multiphonics von AAS und in Reason ist ja auch so was drin - habe es aber musikalisch noch nie benutzt, weil für mich zu kompliziert und es viele einfachere Lösungen gibt, um tolle Sounds zu erzeugen, wie jetzt der kolo X-Stream von Steinberg ...
Natürlich, aber ich vermisse mal Vergleiche z.B. habe ich ein Macbook Air M3 und ein Lenovo Yoga 7. Für musikalische Dinge liegt das Macbook klar vorne, obwohl es keinen Lüfter hat.
