This was so useful I’m going to like and subscribe without even being asked

I consider myself fortunate for stumbling upon all you do. It was a recording/creativity video first, but once I found out ALL you do, I was always happy for new tracks and the little online chats we've had. Your Dark Ambient channel got me through many a workday (and writing session)...and whether it's old or new, I'm always excited when I see something you've done pop up in my subscriptions 😀

This is awesome, thanks for sharing.

Not the only one Martin not the only one interested. Always admired your music as you know and enjoyed your drone sessions of old. I think it is time to rekindle the old channel into a new one.

🖤🖤🖤

Took me a moment to comprehend what “loafy” was…Lo-Fi or Low Fidelity recording quality (niedrige Wiedergabetreue in your neighborhood, according to Google translate). Around where I have lived (western Canada and US), everyone says fi as fye, rhyming with eye, usually referring to High-Fi stereo systems in the old days when everything was analog. Just mentioning it as an aside in case anyone else had a moment of derp like me.

I love ambient drones 🖤 sounds dark and mysterious 🖤 👏👏

Oh yes, that is my kind of drone. Nice one Martin.

damn that UHER is sexy. Immedietly went to search one from eBay :D i've hadf a lyra8 on loan from thomann and it was fun but didn't see the potential in it so I decided to return it. Been looking for a good little reel to reel..

What's with the fking leaves?

Can't wait to do stuff with mine. Not actually plugged it in yet. Just moving all my music gear from the back bedroom to the back room, so everything is all over the place at the moment, as I'm just setting up my studio downstairs. I bought a Soma Enner and a Pulsar 23 at the same time as the Lyra 8 so hopefully will be going in a very experimental direction. I've also ordered an Elta Solar 42F. These synths all speak to me. I'm moving away from very ordered and structured composition to something a lot more organic. I also have the Soma Ether which picks up radio and electromagnetic interference and I've got some interesting recordings from that. It's particularly effective when it's picking up what must be clocking devices. So the central heating controller, my computer, and sequencers on my eurorack, and a battery charger all output quite rhythmical interference patterns.

Pfuiii ! Goddamn ! You saved my day ! I can't understand why the manual mention that with so much lacunas...

Hallo Martin, Moon Echo ist echt Dark und stark. Das hätte ich mir bei Independence Day als Titelmusik gewünscht. Kennst du schon State Azure? Er ist zur Zeit mein Favorit im Bereich Ambient Music. Mein Hero bist du bei den Apple Tutorials. Gruß Andy

A psychedelic drone that expands and contracts, creating an infinite soundscape.

Jesus! You guys must earn some pretty good money. I earn £1600 a month after deductions. I love making music with my Lyra 8 and my ( a bit crappy) Korg Monologue; but, the possibility of me ever having a synth/production room? Never!

NO

Hi Martin does this work the same with the digitakt 2 ?

I get so much feedback when i try to use the onboard mic or plug in a mic. Unless i turn the op1 volume all the way down.

seems a very big drone machine. just ordered.

stunning... such an amazing track. so meditative, so special.. I love it

Großartiger Einstieg, um die Tür zur Moog-Welt zu öffnen! Kannst du vielleicht mal erklären, wie du deine Mother32 mit der DAW gekoppelt hast?

LOL. Love the video. I've had three full home studios. One version had almost 30k into it. Now, that would make sense if I had massive talent and skills! BUT, NO! I am OKAY, but my joy is in creativity. Not sure how many will admit this, but I sure will! These are COOL Toys! As an adult, we have the ability to buy amazing toys. That's the reality of it. ALL these videos? Content creators? We have no idea who they are. They don't have Platinum records. They are hobbyists! Just like us! We see their toys, and we want one too! Is there anything wrong with GAS? NO. Not if it isn't hurting your family, or yourself via keeping you from spending money on the NEEDS! If you have extra for WANTS? This hobby isn't expensive! Even a $3500 keyboard is no big deal. Most synth hold value, or at least retain enough value to get a good amount of money back. SO, why not enjoy life? I've been back and forth between DAW and DAWless more times than I can count. NOW, we have amazing all-in-one workstations that are as good as DAW, like MPC Force, Key 61, and obviously the greats like, Kronos, Nautilus, Fantom. (I hate yamaha, so I'm not giving them much of a mention). Just have fun! Who cares.

Another question: Can you play ambient without delay and/reverb? It's so easy to drown everything in reverb and then call it ambient. I know your videos aren't meant to be that serious (which I like) - and I like to deal with questions such as this at the moment...

So do I

Hi Martin, can the same be done on the Syntakt? If so can you explain please ? Thanks in advance🙏🏻

A fitting day in history for a moon echo. Hope all's well!

Hey Martin, good to hear from you. Been quite musically speaking for a while any plans for more?

AI will never replace true expression by actual consciously living humans

Great track! Meditative and hypnotic!

Can hear slöer birds! Nice 👍 and also for georgious for thankful Start in the week. Dong 4 the day 🔔 Ahoi

Grässlich!

A great way to begin a new workweek (after a little break from it all last week). As always, great work, Martin 😀

💚💚💚

So good. Love these slow videos too.

I'm such a gatekeeper. I got so bad that i realized I, myself, had to stop making the crap noise i was making. So, I sold all my gear and started making art. But, now i need someone to tell me what 'real art' is.

So uts just a laptop keyboard? Same as OP-1 Field? How does it get velocity key tho, can normal laptop keyboard achieve it too?

I've never quite understood what ambient drone types find so fascinating about clouds, trees, etc. Is there something ominous behind those clouds and bushes?

Is it ok to put the out of the synth (mother32) into the input of a guitar amp? I have a custom champ 57, should be nice but dunno if is a too strong signal

Thanks, so if i want to use velocity with mi akai board and midi 5din plug I have to set the setup mode to 10. Right? Normally without any patches and to factory setup I don’t have velocity on my keys

Oh god. Yes! I should narrow down my space to no more than 6 things (& get to f'king know them!)

I'm 53 yrs old, I have tinnitus in my left ear and I'm managing to understand this instrument after a week. I'm no genius, but patience and intuition are key to working with this. Really good video btw. Glad to see us old farts are still musically active.

I thought you were the breaking bad guy gone synth 😮 😂 I love your channel, you have great taste in gear 🐳

Finally the answer I was looking for, thank you Martin!

Are you running this through a reverb pedal? I run my monologue through a Nightsky (without which it would be way too dry and boring)

Very helpful , thank you. Excellent video.

Awesome tips thanks ! It still bucks me off and tramples my ears but I enjoy it even more now

Software can be and is fun, but the GAS is real in the software world as well. I speak from experience :D Logically I understand that I try to compensate my lack of skills through it, but understanding it logically doesn't seem to translate to actually grasping it emotionally for some reason. One more VSTi, one more course, then I'll be there. Nope, you're never there buddy. Only if you stop and do some of that damn music, you might reach that point, but not with buying more and more. I guess it's because actually doing the thing is hard, and I try to avoid doing what's hard...
