    My daughter wanted a "beat maker" for christmas one year, so I bought her an Orba. She loved it, still plays with it to this day.

    So I agree about Orba sound being cheesy and making it a toy. The new one just released has a sampler but not sure its sound quality is any good. That said you did miss one use that MIGHT elevate it back up a tier. It can be used as a midi controller with all that expressiveness (the tilt, shake, hit, vibrato etc converted to midi cc parameters. Still not sure it’s worth the price but it is a nice use.

  • @niclastname
    @niclastname Місяць тому +14

    Cetus is a constellation of a whale/sea monster and the art is a space whale with several eyes haha. Also you opened the box side ways lol. It has art and some writing on the inside panels when you open it the right way. Idk about "ritual-like unboxing", but it certainly has cool presentation when you open it right and fold it out.
    Also as a side note, it took me a while to fully understand the functionality, but it can do some really fun stuff. With the switch up, you hold the footswitch to do an infinite reverb of whatever was playing when you pressed it down. So you can use it to hold a drone. That also makes the bottom middle knob do pre-delay. With the switch down, the knob does modulation (for the waves it increases the intensity/volume of the waves). The switch down also puts it in a really cool mode where you can record knob changes (multiple layers of changes) and then whenever you hold the footswitch it repeats those knob changes. So for example, you can "record" the mix knob slowly increasing, and so whenever you hold the footswitch it will do that increase you recorded and then go back to the current settings when you take your foot off. Then you can layer on say the bright knob rolling down at the same time, and when you hold the foot switch it will roll up the mix and down the bright at the same time as you recorded them.
    I can't remember off the top of my head but I think it records the mod knob as well. So you could have it so that holding the footswitch increases/decreases the waves until you release it. All 4 of the pedals in the series have this function iirc. I only have the Cetus so far though.

    the first orba one seems nice, like.. idk if id use it, or if it makes sense for you to use it, but if you play piano, thats basicly a mini sound board, which could be nice if you needed a beat or chores or something like that. i belive it could be usefull for ppl who just plays music as a hobby.
    also, id love if youd try and make the best song you can make, with as many horrible paddles you can use, but it have to be actully good, i feel like that could be a fun experiment, id do it if i used peddels, but acustic pianos dont rlly do that
    also, are those peddels only for harp, or would they work for guitar too?

    Just to start, the ORBA seems like a good idea, until you realize that on a keyboard you can use all your fingers at once when doing Drum patterns. You can't on this. And when your hands are more spread out on an actual keyboard, you can keep time better too.
    On the music stand, ok, you can't flip it around-but 'giggers' memorize their music. We just use that stand for words we haven't memorized yet.
    That reverb? I loved it! It would fit right in with my originals, stuff no one wants to hear. Love the "wave" setting.
    All of that said, I LOVE watching intelligent people do their thing! Great job Emily!

    Some other channels have covered the ALabs pedals, and they do sound pretty good in the demos. In addition, IIRC all but the first one in the chain are stereo. And there is some sort of automation / sequencing that you can get them to replay / or something... So $100-120 each for stereo effects... pretty cool...
    (I opted for the cheapy Chinesium affordaboard mono pedals... cause that's what I could afford at that moment. I should've saved up a bit more. )

      Isn't noir kinda the opposite of solarpunk? Like isn't noir implicitly dystopian?

    • @ichortide
      @ichortide 2 місяці тому

      @@PhillipRaymondGoodman Noir isn't a genre in the same way as "punk" genres, noir and neo-noir are more related to tone and themes while "punk" sub-genres are more about aesthetics and settings that tend to be used to support or contrast certain themes. So, a noir solarpunk novel might have a bright setting on a surface level but have high contrast in aesthetics and themes, and the main characters might deal with cynicism and crime that come with new or aging technology (which may or may not make it more tech noir or possibly even post- or pre-apocalyptic).
      Anything can be merged together if you're creative enough, even seemingly opposite aesthetics like solarpunk and dieselpunk exist simultaneously in real life, same with rural slice of life and urban warfare, or psychological thriller comedy romance.

      @@ichortide as far as I know solar punk is meant to be utopian, as a purposeful contrast to cyberpunk and it's related genres which are dystopian, I always assumed the punk aspect is that the stories are meant to be subversive

    • @ichortide
      @ichortide 2 місяці тому

      ​@@PhillipRaymondGoodman Subversive can mean a lot of different things, though, depending on the context, and genres are never that strict. The utopian aspect of solarpunk doesn't need to define the rest of the themes in the story or other elements of the setting at present. It could be a future the characters are working toward, or a previous version of society that is falling away or being held together.
      Although noir tends to focus on cynicism and moral ambiguity, it isn't required to be set in a dystopia, or any particular kind of setting. And in real life, many people would call certain big cities or small towns a utopia while others would argue that place, global society, or human existence itself is a dystopia.
      In a solarpunk noir, I can easily imagine cynical characters battling the remnants or reemergence of cynicism, crime, doomerism, and so on in the dark shadows of a utopian landscape, needing to contend with living a life unseen or unappreciated by others, or antagonists (be they regular people or criminals) who struggle with letting go of vanishing lifestyles as society changes to something more sustainable.
