Thank you thank you thank you for showcasing some of the BASS sounds on the Bassline. I've looked at half a dozen videos, even those by Erica Synths, and nobody can resist the modulation/ resonance crazy sauce. You are the one who has sold me on this box because now I know for sure the bass is for real. :)
I didn't understand half of this but your way of talking, sympathetic appearance and engagement or enthusiasm makes this a joy to watch. Take care, stay safe.
It's a good time to be a synth nerd; we're all trapped in our caves with our equipment. Your videos are always enjoyable, and you have an engaging way of talking about what is clearly your passion. Stay safe!
Hi Ricky. I always enjoy your videos. As a live performer, I find the vision of a live performer and details that can be so important when performing live. Thanks a lot.
Awesome review and video as always! After seeing this video months ago, I just got my DB-01 over the holidays. Seeing that it could do a large variety of things and I thought it would be a nice complement to my TB-03, rather than a replacement. The DB-01 sounds fantastic! From massive to growly to silky smooth, it is the perfect companion to the TB-03 - letting the TB-03 do the 303 things it does best and the DB-01 do all the rest :)
I bought one of these last year following Ricky's review. It's totally sick, and Erica are a great company. I suggested a firmware update to increase the LFO cycle from 1 bar to 4, and they did it a month later. Ricky is right, this is SH-101 territory, and it's massive. What makes it special from my other mono synths is that the Envelope is soooo fast, and there is no click whatsoever. This is a future classic!
The "ARP Thing" you´ve struggled with, works! Start Sequencer, then the Arp Mode (Shift&ARP), put the Notes in, while holding the buttons press Select/Gate. Release the Step Buttons, hit Record.
Take awhile but I picked one up used off FB Marketplace this summer and you're spot on! This thing brings smiles and foot tapping so easily. It just begs to be paired with drums and other things. So good!
You're the best synth reviewer out there, Ricky. I will always check out of there is a review by you if I plan to get a synth or similar instrument. This synth is definitely one that caught my curiosity a little extra and I think you are spot on that it sounds like a mix of 101 and 303, with some unique features. Love that Erica sticks to adding the Polivoks filter, and that double bbd is pretty genius.
the bassline from Where's Your Head At is is a track called ME by Gary Numan. Not sure if it was sampled directly or just referenced because I haven't listened side by side. But cheggit out.
7:23. ‘Says the guy who’s not going to use this feature ever’. Just brilliant Ricky, your face says it all, what a great piece of gear! 🤣 Order placed.
First vid I watched here, super nice. The calm but focused delivery (plus the color grading) kinda remind me of a Philip Bloom review. Looking forward to more!
A lot of people aren't aware that about half of all the synth parts in classic acid tracks are actually Sh-101 lines, not 303 lines. The 101 is almost as important to the history of acid as the 303. So it makes sense that this has a bit of a 101 vibe to it.
I copy this comment: I didn't understand half of this but your way of talking, sympathetic appearance and engagement or enthusiasm makes this a joy to watch. Take care, stay safe. :)
The knobs on this unit are soooo nice and chunky! They look extremly satisfying to use. Also noticed you didn't use the Drive knob until briefly near the end. Would have loved to hear more of it.
Thanks for the video Ricky, good stuff! I recently got the Erica Synths Baseline eurorack module and pairing it with the Arturia Minibrute 2S sequencer is heaven. Seems to fix some of your gripes, such as live recording your gate length. Also gives you pressure sensitive pads to route as modulation. Something to consider if people already own some of that gear or are looking to dive into modular but like this thing's sound.
I've been eyeing this up for months. Nice review. Maybe if I move my bass station 2 and td3 on, I could make room for this. Or maybe not, I'm sure I can make room 👀
Yeah - I played with this at a music shop around month ago - ooh so dope. Yeah other patrons listened in and were ready to buy. Pricey but maybe not. But I think it is great.
thanks fro the great video. awesome enthusiasm and a top demo of this synth. I've skipped the sample pack download and just bought the one in stock from my local disti. looking forward to having this in the mix!
24:37 is the sexiest thing ever. I was like "Mkay he's gettin a little wild. Must be about to cut it." Then the beat came in and I realized... Ricky had a plan the whole time.
just purchased my DB-01 today Ricky, watched the other vids, but this one sold it, brilliant channel, thank you. (i’m going to pair it with the Specular Tempus, check it out!) cheers from England.
Surprised the algorithm hasnt tagged this video for the "Where's Your Head At?" moment early on in the video. Lot of crazy copyright nonsense going on with You Tube at the moment.Another great video Ricky!
Hey Ricky, what do you think about the new tracker from polyend? I think it looks dope. And for what it does, it isn't that expensive. Don't about the workflow, but would love to try it out. Do you have any experience with this kind of of sequencers?
I don’t miss trackers. Used them heavily in late 90s before I could afford DJ gear. Maybe they’ve modernized it but it could be just another tracker. I’m curious too.
Lol barf, this thing intrigued me, love how big the knobs are to actually perform the thing which is lacking in a lot of products, plus it sounds huge through monitors
@@xnflg3074 ah OK, I don't own it. From the FM I know it is recording the changes of knobs and sliders. But never as comfortable as it looks on the Erica!
s müller It can do stepped locks too. If you hold down a step button on the ribbon sequencer and turn a knob, it’ll lock that in memory and apply it during playback of the sequence. The Drum is easily the most complex of the Volca line.
Reminds me of how Maschine does automation. It’s great for performance as you can move controls around and still have your automation stay relative. I just wish this had presets and usb...that would be perfect for me then. Also agree about automating the unison.
Actually, if you have one of the big ‘uns like the Rytm, that’s how the performance controls work. Just not the trig locks. I’m also like 99% sure it’s how aftertouch and breath are modulated as well. On my faderfox I have knobs mapped to perf on my Rytm (don’t like the pad press idea) as well as a knob mapped to aftertouch as a mod source.
shit, your videos always get me inspired to make something, lmao. pausing vid half-way, i’ll be finishing it after i get some jams out of my system 😝 much love, stay safe y’all
I like the look of this and I like Erica Synths (I've got a couple of their modules) but I already have a Bass Station 2 and it's got 101 and 303 tones for days. Props to Erica Synths though they make cool stuff.
Love this video, I keep coming back and rewatching it. Man, when that beat drops at 16:18, that's when I think I really have to get one. More videos of this box, please?
Thank you for the samples, Ricky! Me and guys used one in our track: Лужа - Руки-Пауки. Just copy/paste it in any streaming service if you’re interested 🦾
Ah man that thing sounds schweet! Did you talk about build quality and I missed that part? Do the knobs feels as good as they look? And is the body as metal and solid as it looks? Seems to be the same size as a Volca but MUCH better. I want one!
Cool thing! What I'm really interested in, is how it compares to the Moog Minitaur for bass. Love the sound of the Minitaur for bass, but can't really get it working with CV from a sequencer.
This and other videos sold me on this synth, but as "simple" as it is, I find it hard to get anything useable out of it. Maybe I just need more time with it, but I'd love another video that explores getting the most out of it.
Super clicky knobs. I've had my eye on this for a while. Looks really fun, I'd get it before an Avalon, or pretty much any other "bassline", but I won't because I already have plenty of things that can do bass.
New synth enthusiast here. I loved your review and am about to get myself one of these. Just one question, tho. What is the gray thing that you have next to the synth and what does it do exactly?
Made a FREE sample pack of the DB-01 sounds so you can maybe get a better take on it - bit.ly/smplpcks
ON IT CHIEF
Nice one thank you :)
Why do they need my credit card details to get a free sample pack?
GLDN1 Weird, it asked for your credit card information? I downloaded it myself on a random account and it just asked for my email and address. If it does charge you for anything I’ll refund you whatever it may be. But it is completely free I promise. Shouldn’t ask you for your CC Info though
@@RickyTinez I got the same remark for the Skillshare website: they too ask CC info for something "free". BTW your videos are top, thanks!

Me too, bit I’m tryna do it more with my pants when someone interesting walks through the door.

Big thanks man. First you introduced me to the Novation Circuit, then you've kept finding new, really cool instruments that fascinate me.
I think this plus my drumbrute impact are gonna be a killer combo
Drumbrute impact is fuuuuun

101 202 rock bottom end . 303 rock hi res game have all real sequencer fun
People also forget about ms 20s witch where heavy used
What are some good tracks with sh101?
Here's one - Robert Hood - 'SH-101'

Ricky, your videos are awesome. Always top quality work, each and every time. Consistently the best! Keep up the superb work!
Freaking awesome. Love how ya got sucked into it there. Thanks for the flyover d00000de.
Great review. I've been waiting for your video on the DB-01.
Nice close out jam. Really shows off the synth.
Cool! Was waiting for this video and now waiting for release of this synth. Thanks!
great fun to see you reviewing!!!!
That simple sequence with the detune and pitch env sounded great. Definitely had a smile creep up on my face too. Nice demo.
Sound wise and build wise this looks great! Love Erica Synths stuff!
Love the design and the sound of this thing. Also, keep up the good work! Love your videos!
I've been waiting for your vid on this synth since i saw you have it 😬 I REALLY dig it. Thanks for your take on it
Erica synths definitely has a good take on layout, loads of space to play with there. Nice review 👍
The knobs on this unit are soooo nice and chunky! They look extremly satisfying to use. Also noticed you didn't use the Drive knob until briefly near the end. Would have loved to hear more of it.

Whoopy doopy sounds? You just made my Sunday morning!
That bass line at around 7:30 was 🔥
very cool review and thanks for the samples !
Hey Ricky, great Video..Giving you shout out from Rhampton...Keep up the great work..I may have to pick up one of these..
Great as always
Three black corp machines on the shelf there like come on
I wanna hear that finished track from 7.28 🙂
I think this is the exact bass synth i was looking for.
Your videos are always so inspiring. Time to go make some sounds,! Cheers!
Thanks for the sample pack! It's well worth downloading if you haven't already ;)
3:39 "Is that wheres your head at"
LOL i thought a true synth aficionado would reference the original by Gary Numan...
Lol barf, this thing intrigued me, love how big the knobs are to actually perform the thing which is lacking in a lot of products, plus it sounds huge through monitors
The bassline in "Where's Your Head At" is actually taken from a fantastic Gary Numan song: M.E.
From 1979 :)
Ohh I didn't know that haha, cool
That BBD detune sound is dope!
Great video as usual! Thank you Ricky, I have my DB-01 coming soon :-)
great video man ... was skeptical about this one, but now I want one :)
I thought it was a new Volca until i looked closer lol
yeah, thought the same, a volca with parameter locks!
It’s very jersey shore club trance braaahh

7:20 Absolute fire, reminds me of old Richie, Sheet One.
Dope as always! Would love a deckards dream sample pack if you plan on doing more packs
Good to see I'm not the only one who's cycles came minus the rubber stoppers on the sides.
The M:C came with both actually! I’ve just been using mine with a battery pack. But that doesn’t mean I know where I put the rubber plug 😂
7:38 100% make that track now that the video is done lmao thats so slick
7:26 I'm head banging too, even when I revisit this cool video.
Nice -- buying on the strength of this vid.
NOW I WANT ONE. Erica Synths owns my wallet at this point..
I love how the parameter locks are relative to the underlying values.
