    Hi Cuckoo I just wanted to say a big thanks for your excellent overview of this brilliant machine. Mine arrived today and I absolutely love it, brilliant sounds, very easy to use and the sound sculpting tools on this thing are amazing. I spent most of the day so far just playing with the SH4d engine alone, so can see how you got so involved in that engine here. I do have an MC101 but find all the menu diving and combinations of button presses a little too much for me, although the Zen Core engine is very deep and sounds are great. But I just found the SH4d so much more immediate and was creating little grooves within a very short space of time. Your tutorial here was so useful in showing what this thing can do, thank you for your excellent work here sir.

    Cuckoo - Thanks for making this video - it's a tremendous help to unlock the features of this little production synth. I rather prefer something that doesn't do everything at once and the limitations spark creativity - but with a minimum of menu diving. I got started on my music journey with an MC-505 and the same immediacy of purpose for a knob turn, tweaking a slider, or tapping in a pattern with the SH-4d enhances my productivity and creativity immensely.

    I really enjoyed this tutorial. You show so much of yourself through your patterns, while also demonstrating the diversity of this synth. It's always a joy to watch you go through instruments.
    I'd love to see a more in-depth walk-through and commentary of the sequencer capabilities and shortcomings, and particularly your take on using this as a standalone groovebox similarly to the Syntakt. I can already tell that there are some obvious gotchas, such as the way parts are saved separately from patterns, but what about things like microtiming, p-lock capabilities/limitations, manual triggering of different patterns throughout a longer song, etc? And how does it work to actually perform on it while a pattern is playing? With those non-endless knobs, how will it handle switching between controlling different parts in a live jam situation? And, let's say you have a few patterns all using the same part preset, what happens when you tweak that part live and change to the next pattern, will it reset the state of that sound to the saved part tone, or will it keep going with your live modifications?
    And the biggest question of them all: how fun is it to use? (Conversely, how frustrating is it as a standalone groovebox?) Many thanks in advance! -David

    Finally picked up one of these. I got the s 1 tweak synth months ago and wished i had just went with this. My music making varies so hard, i do hip hop beats for my friends a lot with my MPCs and have been wanting to incorporate more synths on top of my MPC. Tho i also snagged the verselab mv 1 real cheap as well, so im on a roland kick this year. The verselab i want to use as a sketch pad for ideas or maybr even along side my MPC and synths, i like that it has easy vocal recording. I need to figure out midi sequencing with it as well, along with sh4d. Having multiple sound engines over multiple midi tracks i feel like with the mpc sequencer i can go crazy.
    So mpc live 2, verselab, sh4d, and sp 404 mk2 will be my livesrt up(i want to really learn 404 better as well, more than effects!)
    Your videos really help me learn thank you!

    SUGGESTION: These tutorials are an amazing and meaningful asset to the synth community. One thing I'd love to see you include is an extra 5 minutes on how to connect/use the instrument with Ableton. I realize that there are other DAWs, but so many of us in the electronic music community (Elektron users, Teenage Engineering users, etc) use Ableton because it lends itself so well to performative aspects of this genre of synth. Showing us how to get something like this working with Ableton would be a fantastic way to make these tutorials even more valuable and complete with regard to how much they already benefit the community. Thanks again for all the tutorials!!

      @@truecuckoo Mine recently arrived and I have just found this annoyance out. After figuring how to make and save a pattern, my initial creation became 'something else' the next time I fired up the unit. I need to look into that side of things or re-visit your video as I must have missed this if you mentioned it

    Was super excited about this, pre-ordered on day one, but the more I think about the awkward saving setup, and now realizing that you can't even chain patterns together, I'm realizing it's kind of a stretch to call this a groovebox, much more of a synth with a drum track than groovebox. Hoping future firmware improves it.

    • @truecuckoo
      @truecuckoo  Před rokem +2

      You’ll get the hang of saving. But I think you need to adopt the idea of the computer as a place to backup a whole “project”, then wipe all the patterns and create a new sesh. The lack of chaining and song mode might put some people off, but for me it’s actually not a big deal since I enjoy doing this in real-time anyway. But let’s send the clear message to Roland so that they see the need. They are known to make big firmware updates down the line with many of their long lived platforms. It kinda comes down to how much memory they have on the device. I suspect this one is pretty limited in terms of storage capacity.

    Hey quick question I just kinda thought of regarding the wave draw using step motion/ modulation sequencing that you did...
    If i set two or more adjacent steps to tie, would the respective sequence steps smoothly crossfade each drawn wave? Asking for a friend 😄

    Great tutorial, thanks for this! I’ve seen the SH-4d sample pack on your store, but do you also have the Cuckoo patch bank available for download/purchase?

    • @truecuckoo
      @truecuckoo  Před rokem +1

      Thanks! I haven’t got a patch bank on the store. Currently there’s no sensible way to distribute patches on the SH-4d. You can load a full backup, but that will overwrite everything, right? But I guess I can still sell a backup of my machine with the drum kits in it, I guess. It just doesn’t feel like it’s the right way to do it.

      @@truecuckoo Samples probably is the best way to distribute the sounds then, I guess. Surprised that you can’t save and load individual patches, though. Maybe this is on the way once the synth has had a bit more flight time 🧐

      @truecuckoo  Před rokem +1

      Yeah it was one of my early feedbacks to the beta group. Let’s hope they’ll make the backup file structure a little bit more full fledged over time.

      In particular, I’m wondering how to create the “zip”-like sound heard at 4:39. I’m guessing it’s the rhythm part’s pitch envelope that creates the “woop”, but I wonder which of the 481 kit sounds is used as the basis for it, and it sounds like you’re getting some overdrive involved as well.
      Happy to buy your sample pack, of course, but it would be nice to know how to create my own version of this sound as well, since I have the SH-4d

      @@will3music I think it’s some sort of square wave and letting the pitch envelope zip the pitch along. Can’t remember completely.

    All synth youtubers must have reveived one of these. Lol. Wow. The sound is great. It seems to be packed with great functionality. I only wonder if, 5 tracks, 60 voices (xm got 4 tracks 256 voices if I am correct) is that enough?

    • @sooperheep
      @sooperheep Před rokem

      yes, each drum sound has two layers and you can select sounds from the pool on each layer so you could duplicate that way, not sure if you can just copy and paste from one button to the next but I would think so

    Are the different drum sounds it’s own midi channel? In case you want to sequence it with a stand alone sequencer? ☺️
