Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland Phrase Lab MC-09. Is this synth, looper and groove box Frankenstein's Techno Lab??? - Hudba
Wake up babe, new AudioPilz video!
That's what I call a romantic relationship!
I have just started this film and its got 303 comments lol
Hubba hubba
Don’t call me babe.
That jam at the end was so late 90's and badass that by the end of the video I was wearing a pair of JNCO jeans and carrying a pair of glow sticks.
No one was listening to that stuff in the late 90s. The drum n bass maybe.
@@dan_rtype Acieeeeed is timeless homie. Shit, New Order had an acid hit in 98!
Thanks! When stuff gets more 90s than the actual 90s;)
@@AudioPilz How much gear was used in the last jam? It wasn't just MC09, right? It sounds incredible.
Future Sound of Bad Gear!
What I’ve learned: gear can be bad, but a good musicians makes it shine.
Thank you so much!
Id read shine as shit
This channel's so underrated
Thanks! Working on it;)
way to make us all feel more like hipsters than we already do.
“You can bounce multiple tracks to one...”
*with the wryest possible inflection*
“...just like the beatles...”
Man, your subversive humor is impeccable
I don't get it.
Thank you!!!
That D'n'B track may be "just" a workflow study, but it sure packed in some good, genre-appropriate musical ideas.
As much as I love the memes and the video editing, the consistent quality of the bad gear jams is astounding, and the best thing about your work.
Thank you so much!!!
"When it comes to bad gear...Roland never fails to deliver." Truer words have never been said.
They never disappoint!!!
SP404MKII is still out of stock
Every bad gear episode is a weekly highlight for me. It's basically how I tell time at this point.
Thanks! The Bad Gearean Calendar ;)
damn that last jam has got me wanting to watch Blade again
Yeah, that's so 90s action movies!
@@AudioPilz Damn that was good.
Every Friday, my girlfriend says oh it's the guy with the voice.
Ze Voize ;)
@@AudioPilz I live for Fridays. Thanks for all you do
He’s the loud German bald guy at my house. One day I will break the news he is Austrian.
That last jam was insane! Good job.
Thank you!!!
You certainly squeeze the best out of hated audio tools.
That is perseverance. And ultimately why you succeed in this genre. Keep going!
Thanks! I will!
This is my highlight of the week. Danke, Kumpel.
Immer gerne ;)
Whoa, the visuals on the last jam though. I tripped on my shoe laces and realised I wasn't wearing any shoes 😂
Thanks!
I just cant get enought of this series! Bad gear being revieweed with memes sprinkled in is just my jam.
Thanks! Happy to hear that!
I was not at all prepared for how hard that track dropped at 6:53
Thanks! Gotta drop dat bass!!!
@@AudioPilz Did you actually program that tune in the Phrase Lab or just use the sounds from a DAW? It's amazing.
@@darfswifespeeholeburns2549 all sounds are from the machine, both sequenced internally and in a DAW (and both at the same time;). I REALLY had to push things forward in the drum department
I see what you did there, making the intro sound cheesy and then blast off our faces with pristine production quality in your jams. Nice play, Pilz...
Great work as always. Keep up the good work!
Classical Pilz :D I've learned to never judge these by the intro tune anymore.
Thanks! Some instruments just don't work that well in the intro tune ;)
@@AudioPilz Still, enough gear does work that we must acknowledge the versatility of the tune itself. :D
My first looper! The MC-09 is one of the only pieces of gear I regret selling. I used to midi sync a circuit bent 505 and spend hours recording drum loops into it. Thanks for another great video and nostalgia trip.
Thanks for watching! Bent 505 is the ideal complement!
4:23 Wait a second.. no crash report from Ableton? Something must be broken!
That's how it looks when it crashes while crashing
Great work by AudiPilz. He's like the mailman, cause he always delivers!
Fantastic work finding the right type of arrangement, style/genre and use of sounds for the main song custom written for the MC-09.
Thank you!!!
You make all of this stuff sound good. It’s always the workman, never the tools.
Thank you!!!
That dig at Behringer… EPIC 🔥!
😂😂
They would certainly include USB and extended sampling time
You catch me off guard with the “ticking all the boxes” line every time and it makes me laugh out loud.
Always a pleasure!
Love this! This thing is amazing, is like making music with an Amiga 500, and the design, direct from the Buck Rogers TV show, is awesome :D
Yup, it's adorable;)
The song at the end is actually a banger
Thanks!
Where can we get it?
Holy moly that weird acid preset sounds sooo good.
Edit: Dude the filter sweep and video accompanying it at 6:05 sent me somewhere, cheers! 🤣
Edit 2: Yeah, the video for the "weird genre jam" didn't help either, now if you'll excuse me I'll stare at some still pictures that move somehow.
the filter sweep is the phaser
Absolutely, there's some sound design goodness hidden in that cursed machine
@@AudioPilz have you tried using the eq to make the kicks & snares sound better?
@@kelvint03 Thank you, I'm still too new to this to understand all the effects by ear. :)
@@AudioPilz That's the thing about most Roland gear I'd wager. No matter how user-unfriendly and stupid the device, there's probably some really good sounds hidden in there. :D
6:30 OMG this is so Daft Punky! Damn!
I'll take this as a compliment, thanks!
Another one ☝🏼 (DJ Khaled voice) 🔥
...and ANOTHER ONE!!!
6:30 *[The Surgeon General Warns; H2SO4 Urban Decay Warehouse Generator Party Public Nuisance] INTENSIFIES !*
It's incredible how pricey these things can get nowadays... Few years back it was common to find them for under a hundred euros on ebay... (got mine for 50, mint in box in 2010).
The looper is endless fun, but as said in this video, you need quite a lot of practice to kinda fully master the whole unit (looper/fx/synth/drums/sequencer) and it's not really worth the effort since the looper + FX are the best part of it. Endless layered cruchy sonic fun garanteed (it's lo-Fi but really, really addictively good!).
Paradoxally, it's one of those units that one can have fun with after just a few seconds. I always thought that Korg should issue some Volca FX/looper using the same interface, it would fit so well in the series.
I cherish this thing, plus it looks like Kitt from the Knight Rider TV series, so if you find one, then give it a go ! You may not regret it !
Damn, Volca looper should be a thing!!!
Just found your channel, this series is brilliant! Now to binge all of it uh oh
Thank you!!!
I think I might want to subject myself to this ersatz beauty. Those acid tones have a gnarled quality I find gorgeous.
He did it. That crazy austrian finally did it. This is a perfect MC-09 video, and you actually made it shine. Congratulations.
Yeah, got some help from Berlin. Thanks!
DAMN!!! That last jam is a BANGER! Great deep learning video too.
Thank you! Them algos certainly love eyeballs and dogs
Friday meeting ran long. I finally announced, “Guys! It’s time for Bad Gear!!!!”
It should be part of the meeting!!!
Great video! I dug into the MC09 on my channel a while ago, exploring looper a bit and using it for something other than acid. I was surprised by how fun it was before I sold it. Love the last golden-era electronica jam. Cheers! 🍻
Thanks!
I had 1, sold it, now I have a TB-3 & don't miss the 09 at all.
Yeah, UIs DID improve over the years
"You will need it, but it won't help you much!" - A sad truth about way too many manuals
Agreed! Roland is a specialist for that
Damn dude. Proper banger in this one. Nice job with the song visuals too.
Thank you!!!
Hey, no boxes were ticked, no itches were scratched. It sounds bad, but at least it's expensive. The looper would be laughable, but they were serious. The "303" emulation makes my ears bleed, and no-joke made me jump and cringe when the video started. Somehow you managed to coax a produced track out of it that didn't need a roll of TP, and for that I salute you. Like the other MC says, "can't touch this". Nobody wanted to, and that era of Roland shite is gratefully over. Thanks for another great video!
Hey Chris! Yeah, that one is "special";)
There was an act in 2009 called "Technobox" that would use only the MC-09. Actually the guy was in a hardcore thrash band called 1991.
Thanks for posting, I have to check then out!
I LOVE old 90's early 2000's roland groove gear. I love this channel. and i love YOU sir hahaha.
Another fantastic episode!
Thank you!!!
Before a new bad gear drops, I always watch an oldie in anticipation.
That's the spirit! Thanks!
I never thought about it until today, but I could really use a "The Surgeon General Warns H(2)SO(4) Urban Decay Warehouse Generator Party Public Nuisance" synthesizer
It should be in every household!!!
No retro D-beam or vinyl simulator, but it comes with a menacing red led - awesomely bad-ass
The red LED really makes the product!
Nice! Never even see this model before. Great stuff per usual! Interesting Roland has the same general idea to this day with the MC grooveboxes and then now that MV-1 Verselab.
Thanks! So true, made me think of the MV-1 too
I think the mentioned MC-101 deserves an episode, too
My god, your videos are really cool! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!!!
I love your videos, awesome stuff man
Thank you!!!
Fridays are the best part of the week because my sub feed is blessed with Bad gear
Fridays are the best part of the week because I find great comments like this
The behringer and cymbal jokes were lit af. And the final track/video, a total banger, re flashero
Thanks!
Not to forget Myspace Tom, friend of all of us ;-)
The video for the last jam was one of your best!
Thank you!!!
The damaged corner of your table drags all my attention. As said Mick Jagger, "Paint it black"
That's what my sister did in the 80s. Originally it's vintage Danish teak furniture
Never heard of this box. Great job squeezing out the sounds on that last take. Good stuff!!
Thank you!!!
Entertained thanks Florian, some decent sounding work with it in your hands.
Take it easy, stay safe.
Regards
Thanks!
You have a great channel and you are an amazing musician.
Thank you so much!
Since a few weeks, every week I can't wait to see a new bad gear after I watched all the recent videos ❤️❤️❤️
So happy to hear that, thanks!
Really like your work bud
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great as always!
Thanks!
Nicely done!
Thanks!
This whole channel is an acid trip and I love it
Don't do drugs! ;)
Holy fuck that last jam was insane!
Thank you!!!
Ha ha ha, who’d by dumb enough to pay for that plastic piece of a fake 303/909......Oh yeah I did 😳, still own it actually- no idea why? But for no apparent reason I sort of like it 😊 Thanks for covering this it was fun!
Always a pleasure, thanks for watching!
Now you made me crave an all 90s Roland Gear Jam.
It would be cool if you did one. And then made it sound modern 😅
That being said, gonna rewatch the rooftop video ❤
Thanks! Yeah, 90s Roland gear only jam should be a thing!
Okay. To start with, the music you worked out of it sounded pretty damned good. But, I also suspect this is a nexus point between gear, talent, and determination. After that, I have to compliment all involved for the edits. Excellent work, particularly the Prince joke. LOL!
Thanks!
Friday evening is Bad Gear evening. Awesome channel, great editing and some very bad gear indeed.
Thank you!!!
Totally cured me of ever going near one, having almost traded some gear in for one last year I'm glad I didn't. Great work as always my friend 🙂
Thanks! Not a keeper for me as well
First piece of gear in weeks where I have no G.A.S. whatsoever. No thanks! Awesome video, as always!
Thank you!!!
Man, I love me some Bad Gear on Fridays!
Happy to hear that!!! Thanks!
@@AudioPilz no, thank You, Florian 🙏🏻
Thanks dude. Because of your video here, I just ordered this Bad Gear - Roland Phrase Lab MC-09 - Frankenstein’s Techno Lab for $200 shipped, and it should be here late next week. I am your newest subscriber!
Happy to hear that, thanks! Have fun!!!
"I am sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that! Not even for the rediculous money you just spent on me!"
Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
the last jam reminds me of parties i too young to go to at the age of 13
I won't tell your mom ;)
Love your intros, especially this one with MC-09 coming out of the grave. LOL.
IT'S ALIVE!!!
The jam at the end was amazing!
Thanks!
6:30 - Quite possibly the best song ever composed on this albatross. Kudos!
Thank you! Albatross is funny ;)
You made it sound awesome :)
Thank you!!!
Best notification from CZcams this week! 😁
Happy to hear that!
that warehouse public nuisance track was banging !!!!!!
Thank you!
The jam at 6:30 is THE BEST THING I ever heard on this channel. It's the awesome sauce.
Thank you!!!
good stuff, have seen it online a bit but never in person
as usual you made it sound great with some good jams in there, but I suspect it took quite a while to do that from what you said about the quirks :-)
Thanks! It's limited and quirky but you can get used to it rather quickly
I died at "will behringer make a clone soon"
We need some Uli on that ;)
Mint as always :) learn and laugh at the same time
Thanks, always a pleasure!!!
Love the acronyms quality PUBLIC NUISANCE
Absolutely!
Now that you're back on Roland's case, I'd love to see an episode on the Gaia SH-01. They seem to be stacked 10ft high at guitar center whenever I drop in and I have never once seen one on a stage. Either they really screwed up the sound engine or there's some money laundering going on.
Great idea, Gaia is really interesting! The money laundering theory is valid!
4:38 I would buy this album
I'd love to produce it (if I could find the time;)
I will now search old Synewave and Irdial tracks all evening
👌🏼🎯
It's funny how many pieces of gear I have that are on your channel :)
Bad Gear unites the people ;)
here's a tip:
use the lead synth to make your kick, by pushing the resonance high and applying filter envelope. you'll get a really deep kick.
Nice technique! Thanks for posting!
Die Büchertapete ist sehr realistisch!
Stimmt, ich könnte das als Tapete/Poster verkaufen ;)
*Wolfgang M. Schmitt betritt den Chat
standard like the video during the opening credits
Thanks!
The Synth Whisperer strikes again! Nice acid grooves!
Thank you, always a pleasure
oh man for a minute there I was worried you wouldn't do a mythical genre jam. phew, that was a close one!
No worries, won't happen;)
YESS you did it! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
¡¡You have to test Electribe 2 sampler!! Like always, super dope content. Cheers from Argentina ♥♥
Thanks! Yeah, ET2 is on top of my list!
I don't remember this but probably think it was out when I'd moved over to soft-synths.. Ahh.. 2002 this was out. Yep, I'd moved over to Reason then and was making evil squeaks for hours and then thinking 'I dunno what I've been doing for the last 2 hrs!'
That's what reason was originally designed for;)
lmao these edits always make me cry from laughter. love u
Thank you so much!
Man, that urban decay generator whatever party was amazing!
Thanks!!!
I was waiting for this one, the mc 09 is dope as funk
True, a very funky machine (in every way;)
The DnB track reminded me of Dom & Roland, how fitting
I have to check that out, thanks for posting!
@@AudioPilz Recommended tracks: Skyliner, Imagination, Can't Punish Me, Soundwall, Firewire. But all of the early stuff is good anyway, and the later stuff is not bad either
Great video! I like the way how you put these little jokes like in 3:54 into your videos. Really nice! Your videos always make me rethink my good opinion about Roland 😂😂😂. I didn’t expected what they’d developed besides their top sellers 😂
Thanks! Roland is, after all, the best AND worst music tech manufacturer of all time
Ahh! Oh no my one weakness!
Memorization! It's a monster!
Nice one as usual the acid so dirty no reaction sequence can purify it.🤣🦠
Thanks! Dirty AF!!!
