Bio
Multi-Instrumentalist Reinhardt Buhr has composed 17 albums in 10 years time.
At the end of 2019, his work went viral over social media, reaching more than a hundred million views across Facebook and UA-cam.
Reinhardt combines the Laser Harp, Spanish Guitar, Electric Guitar, Electric Cello, Australian didgeridoo, Israeli Shofar, Spanish Cajon, Synthesizers and Piano via a live looping system to create an extraordinary symphonic orchestral sound in only a one-man improvisational act.
Reinhardt Buhr was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1988 and grew up with
no passion for music at all, In fact, as a teenager, he became a computer gamer and
began abusing alcohol at a very young age. His first job was at a small liquor store, where he earned 20 cents an hour. After that, he worked as a packer in a supermarket. His plan of
becoming an animator failed when he started abusing marijuana and alcohol on a
regular basis.
At the age of 19, two of his closest friends began learning the guitar. Reinhardt
immediately fell in love with it. With no formal training, the three friends simply
taught themselves how to play. A year later, Reinhardt was inspired by a Flamenco
guitar player, and began learning Flamenco Rumba Guitar from UA-cam videos.
One day, he was sitting at a small roadside steak restaurant with his parents, and
there was a man playing solo guitar covers. Reinhardt approached him to make
small talk and the owner of the restaurant overheard that Reinhardt played a bit of
Spanish Guitar music.
So the owner asked Reinhardt “Why don’t you come back next week to play, and I
will give you a steak and 10 dollars in return?” So Reinhardt Buhr played his first
solo Spanish guitar gig that following weekend and hasn’t stopped since.
Reinhardt Buhr quickly became known around South Africa and formed a duo
band called “Wild Lettuce”. He and the drummer performed many national
tours. They also opened for a lot of great artists. But unfortunately, Reinhardt fell
into a dark habit of abusing alcohol, drugs, and cocaine.
This affected him, his career, and everyone around him in a very negative way.
The band broke up. Reinhardt Buhr went solo and left his hometown, hoping to
escape the drug scene, only to find himself moving in with someone who also had
a cocaine problem. The whole cycle started over again.
At the end of 2016, Reinhardt hit an all-time low. He was at the point of death. He
fell on his knees and pleaded with God to step into his broken life. When things
could not get any worse, God in His full mercy and grace, stepped in and changed
his life completely. Reinhardt and his wife, Mandie Buhr, both experienced God’s
salvation and were baptized together. They left a lifestyle of abusing, marijuana,
alcohol, and drugs, and began on a beautiful road of salvation and healing.
During the biggest transition of his life, Reinhardt was playing a gig one day. As
he was playing for hundreds of people, He experienced a voice telling him to make music
for God. When Reinhardt made the shift from playing for fame and fortune to
playing for Christ Jesus, everything about his music changed! You can even see
the transition from his earlier album called “Organic 432hz”, to his latest album
entitled “Arise”.
To this day, Reinhardt Buhr makes music to God. This is his way of worshiping
His Creator and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Came for 505 tips and tricks - stayed for the live performance. Very dang nice!
Impressed that you run down so much of your set-up - much appreciated!
It's a pleasure!
Normally I switch fast trough livemusicparts of "tutorials"...but when I heared the part in this video I couldnt skip it...it touched me so deep...maaan...the way you play and combine this instruments is wonderful and I want to play some of your beautiful tracks from bandcamp on my first ecstatic dance dj sets! Thanks for spreading this sounds from your mind into the world!
Same! I usually skip them too, but not this one!

Just picked up an rc 505 and I've been appreciating your videos a lot. It helps a lot to see how you have everything set up and optimized for how you work. Thanks and keep making beautiful music!
That demo track in front of all those people in the sunny square sounded MONSTER. What an incredible soundscape!!!!
Thank you for your incredible generosity in sharing your workflow, you took live looping to the next level!
Mine came in 4 days ago, and thanks to your videos, I'm already doing most anything I think up! It's not as difficult as it seems at first. And it's more versatile than I thought it was! Thanks Reinhardt! Again, I LOVE what you do with it. It's TOTALLY musical. Several vids by others mostly make it seem like a NOISE machine. I ordered mine after seeing some of your Busking videos.
I love how you spun your guitar into action :-)
I loved hearing your music so much I bought an Rc 505 to move beyond my usual multi0tracking. Thanks so much for explaining some of how you do what you do. Feel free to explain more if you get the urge.
The INST input is designed for audio up to +4dBu, which is what most professional instruments output. They output a much higher voltage than consumer or DJ equipment. The AUX input seems to be designed for headphone signal levels. So the normal output of a DJ-mixer (with RCA-connectors) would not be very loud compared to what the INST input can handle. It's a bit loud for the AUX input though, but if you keep the volume down, it makes sense that the AUX input sounds better. If you use a pro-audio mixer (with jack connectors), though, I'd expect the INST input to sound better.
Thanks for this video, especially the last part is so helpful. Hoping to get started with a rc 505 soon and see how it flows. This is truly appreciated, thanks for inspiring and being. Sending love🙏🏻❤️
Hello Sir...I love your music and am inspired to purchase the 505 for my own music. But more than that, I loved your story about your faith... please keep up your great work, and God bless..
Blessings to you!!
very inspired by you! Thank you for being so generous with your set up. love and peace.
Thank you for posting these tips - they are very useful indeed. You're an incredible talent, glad I found your channel on UA-cam.
Thank you so much Reinhardt, this has helped me immensely.
Incredible, thanks for all the tips and tricks and for actually showing how it is supposed to work in really life. I am dizzy from your great performance (and the go-pro on your head 😂). Really cool. Just purchased several of your albums online … great stuff.
The transition using track fx roll & filter and all stop, then turning off track fx with all start [7:30] is an awesome trick! I also really like how you showed all the settings screen by screen for those fx. Thanks for doing that! I'm watching your videos and learning so much.
Thanks for your feedback! I stumbled upon that by accident by experimenting... will post more :)
Thank you ! Your videos have inspired and helped me so much !
Dude, you are a god, what you do only seems to be a simple matter, but viewers don’t see anything on the RC-505 in the sun ...)
Thank you! I loved it! Ive only just started it'll take me a while to get my head around it but this has helped.
Thanks for explaining how you set up the Playing Modes. Super important!
Awesome. Just got my 505 mk2. So very very useful vid.
Thanks for tips and ideas. Your music is an inspiration! I also use the Boss RC-505 and I agree the auxiliary in seems to have a little more clarity. The headphone out seems to have a little more punch too. I feel that the difference is more noticeable at louder volumes. In either case, I do notice I have to eq the bass when using the built in rhythms because the lows are so pronounced with the kick.
man pullin out instruments like mary poppins! helpful...and entertaining.
This was wonderful... thank you!
A really deep look behind the curtain whereas I usually have the view from infront (or from behind the cam). Well structured and understandable explained. And everything you explain is visible through this permanent view - it´s very helpful.
Thank you so much my friend :) glad it was insightful :) see you soon!
Invaluable information, thanks a lot!
Thanks for the very helpful video, happy new year!
amazing! thank you for sharing it!
Really enjoyed watching that!
This is awesome thanks for sharing ❤️
a few years late, but thanks for sharing what must have been years of work. finding t he right filter settings etc. thanks mate.
i use multiple patterns for song part ie pattern 1,2,3,4 you can move up down patterns via the knob or you can program a dual footswicth for up/down
Thanks Reinhardt, big help.
your live set was dope!!! that outback jungle vibe really came through
Maaaan that was so helpful. Thank you so much. I am looking into buying one of those :D
I'm glad!
hi, I am not a musician! I have tried but it's not in my DNA, but I Love music and with my Mac I make music that I love using Loops. I have now got to the point where I have exhausted all available loops, then I saw you video on youtube and have just got a 505! 2nd hand and I am going to give it my best shot! if it all goes wrong then I blame you lol.
Very cool and impressive, thank you!
Great video, thanks!
Wow thank you for yout explanation, regards from Austria
holy cow you know you are a genius and awesome inspiration right? Keep up the hustle, sooner or later it will pay off
That was a good live performance!
Thank you!
you are a freaking genius
Your amazing thank you!
Thank you for the great video. I have to learn a lot :)
CHEERS MATE, I JUST BOUGHT MY LOOP STATION SO I HAVEN'T YET GIVEN IT A GO. I FELT I NEEDED TO HAVE AN IDEA BEFORE STARTING AND YOU WERE VERY HELPFUL.... CHEERS, I'LL GET BACK TO ONCE I HAVE GIVEN IT A GOOD GO OVER.......
Thank you so much for sharing, your work is very inspiring, and your music is amazing \m/
Aux in.. does sound crispier.. thank you 😁✌️💓🎶🔥
Very special!!! Thanks
Thank you!
thanks for the bonus tip
Thank you for such an informative video. My rc-505 is due to arrive in 2 weeks. I will surely watching this video many more times!! Who know what the future has in store, exiting times. 🙏
ben king it’s only a pleasure! You must be excited! :) more videos to follow!
Danke dir. Ich hab mich schon so geärgert das ich nur einzelne Effekt nutzen kann^^
Brilliant man!!!
thank you!
Very good, thx
Thank you so much you've really inspired me, you're very talented and very creative and I bought the Strymon timeline just like you. My question is what settings do you normally keep the Strymon on please if you can help me with that I'm struggling with it. And what settings do you use for the microphone.
That horn and the cello line worked perfectly, great mood. Thanks for the video, very informative, and love the vibe.
I am also a musician/artist and have studio... If you ever need music to be mixed/mastered in a pro setting let me know. I like what you do, so if we develop a symbiotic relationship, I am all up for that...
Awesome that sounds great, where are you based, and sorry for the late response
@@ReinhardtBuhr no worries man.
I am in Lisbon, Portugal.
Like I said, if you need any help with my skills/equipment, let me know! Keep it up!
Hey Reinhardt! Thank you so much for your RC-505 tutorials and performances, you have extraordinary talent! I have a 505 on it’s way, and was wondering if you could set the machine to record specific 4, 8, 16 etc bar loops without having to hit the Play Button every time you wanted to stop recording? Basically set it up where it stops automatically after the set amount of bars is done. Is this possible?? Thank you for your time
That is indeed possible! and thanks for the kind words! if you need help setting up let me know, all the best!
@@ReinhardtBuhr That is great news! Yes please, would you mind assisting me with this? Thank you again
Go into “measure” on each track and switch to whatever you want
You are god-level.
Smart guy, got the only part of the patio with shade on.
Good tipps
Good video
Good sound
You are good
Thanks a lot
The order or sequence of effect types on output might influence the final sound. A B C might be different from C A B for example.
Thank You
My latest Album "Movement 3 - Berlin" (2019) is now available to download here: reinhardtbuhr.bandcamp.com
Thank You very much!
Thank you!
@@ReinhardtBuhr You are an amazing musician 👍
Love your videos! What would you recommend someone who is just getting into looping? What to buy I mean? I grew up playing drums but no longer have a drum kit. I now play acoustic and electric guitar and sing. I do have a guitar amp and a microphone but that's it. Just wondering on starting equipment? Thanks!
Superb. If only this equipment was around during Frank Zappa's time.
Thank you for sharing! Just got the 505 and getting into it. How do you sync tempo across devices, ie delay pedals, or any external devices?
Midi out from Rc-505 into all the devices.
Thanks for your awesome videos. You’re so very talented as a musician, and it’s nice of you to teach and share how to use your equipment.
Most importantly, I was excited to watch your Pocket Rocks video and see your love for Christ in action!
Two questions about the 505:
1. Could I run my electric or acoustic guitar right in the 505 and then out to powered speakers? Ie, can I have no amp at all? Just use the 505 as a multieffects unit for delay, reverb, chorus? (Of course I don’t expect it to creat great overdrives and stuff like that.)
2. Is it possible to have multi-part songs? Like a verse, then a totally different chorus with different chord progressions. So far, your videos I’ve watched have the same beat/progression for all 10-ish minutes.
Only if you get a chance to answer ;-)
Thanks.
God bless!
It’s possible to plugg in your guitar! And use the effects.
Also you can record different chords on different tracks. So you can switch between those
Your bonus at the end is exactly what I do with my rv 300 but it’s so limited compared to this ... this is just what I was hoping the 505 would do
I’m sold ... but it’s so breakable :(
Your looping is amazing. Had a quick question. I have heard your tone from your classical guitar. What are you running through? The Headrush?
Great! Do you connect your mic directly to the 505, and what kind of mic is that?
hey dude, can you use footswitch a to stop start and footswitch b to select / navigate through the other tracks ?
Hi love the video, do you know how to do à lunch pad effect so the track is only played once. Thx
Just go into the edit settings of the loop and set it to one shot mode hope that helps
Hi Reinhardt! Thank you for the video. I have one question though. When you loop at the different tracks, the circle around the play button fills. For your different tracks this circle moves at different speeds, while at mine rc 505 the circles all fill at the same speed (the ‘free’ measure is enabled for all my tracks though)
It's because all my loops are different lengths. hope that helps?
HI good work!...... i have a question: in the RC 300 i was recording on different tracks with differet imput volume...seems in the RC 505 this is not possible anymore....can you maybe help me with this?
It must be possible, have you come right? can you elaborate more?
Reinhardt, how did you get the kick to hit on every quarter note on the last movement? The beat changed, but you never recorded a new beat. Did you get the beat to doubletime somehow? Your work with these instruments and devices is fantastic. I'm trying to do something similar but with different sounds.
Can you quantize sync overdubs as well as all the tracks so small timing errors are avoided without the use of a midii device or other unit?
I hate everything you are doing.....(HAHA! Signed, COMPLETELY JEALOUS!!) You have an amazing sound... as I listen to your live you do in this video, I come to the conclusion, you aren't making songs... YOUR'RE MAKING THE NEXT MOVIE SCORE SOUND TRACK to the next Indiana Jones Movie!! Great excellent job! Keep on exploring and expanding your talent!

Great stuff mate. Does that delay unit take midi clock in to give you the right delay timing? Also, how have you set up channel 3? Is the same as channel 1?
Hi there, thats correct, the midi clock is being received by the timeline, not sure what you mean by channel 1 and 3?
Merci.. trop de la ball..continue res explication courte...j t'aime....

If I want to get into DJing would this be good?
Hey thanks for the vedio man must appreciated. Got a issue from the start when I press memory then left and right arrows input fx and trax fx options are not appearing on the screen. Any ideas anyone?
Hey! Thanks for all the tips,what kind of a microphone would you recommend putting on the rc-505?
Hi there, I would recommend any of the two microphones in the description of this video, either the shure or sennheiser!
The two most basic microphones you might want are called SM57 and SM58. The only difference between the two is the windscreen giving the SM58 more bass in closer proximity to the sound and the SM57 has a more even response at any distance. For vocals with lots of bass - SM58 is the industry workhorse and the first microphone for most vocalists, anything louder than a typical voice or very high pitch like bells and whistles use SM57. There's always better microphones for more money but these two are essential starter mics.
Thank you for this! One thing I can’t figure out that I’m sure is Easy is how to stop the automatic overdub. When I press the play button to stop the loop it automatically goes orange and I have to click 2x to stop. Any info on this? Thanks mon
I think it’s just a matter oh how u hit it, I’m having the same question- it seems if you push either icon ply or stop, it goes yellow, but if you SMACK it, it stops and loops on time- watch how he does it
I saw a guy using the same footswitch that set it up so the second switch chooses the next track. That way you can start and stop the one that is currently selected and then move to the next track to record it. Then you can use all five tracks with the footswitch instead of just two of them. Not sure how you set that up. There must be a function in the 505 for selecting the next track that you can assign to a footswitch. There is a lot of good information in your video, though. Thanks!
The output effects being different for a b and c isn’t an problem with the unit or an issue. It works in series so a effect works first then gets sent to b and then c. This is done by design. I believe it is the same for input effects
brother , have you ever connected a roli seaboard and rc 505 to each other... if so please help me to understand.. i cant get the sound of seaboard through the rc505+speaker.. İt'S sound always goes out from pc... thank you for all your beautiful, inspiring songs and videos. Love and respect
You are a master sir. What is the control pad you are using and what are you doing with it?
Novation circuit, you can find the link the the description, it does everything haha, I'm using it here to produce a kick drum sound
I"m trying to get a single elongated tone to loop without a spike at the join of the beginning/end of the loop. just using my voice through a mic, with a simple hum which is a consistent sound as I make it, starting the sound before the press of the record button and continuing the hum after hitting the stop recording of the loop... I would assume it would be a clean join but it seems to pop and clip is there a way to alleviate this? Or are looping machines more designed for rhythmic sounds which have a break in the sound to loop back on?
Hi Reinhardt, thanks for your music and showing us how you put it all together. I discovered your work not long ago and got to enjoy the 80% Discount on my entire 13 album discography. What a bargain. Thanks for that too.
I've got a few questions for you:
Why do you reckon the aux input is better?
I have got hissing issues when the signal of my microphones and instruments get picked up (the hissing appears when i play but my rig is silent when I don't play even though the mic is on. The hiss also get looped). Could it help my sort issue? Otherwise do you have an idea of why it's happening?
One last thing, cool you're now using Ableton to loop yourself. I really though of looping myself with a software too but got discouraged by how complicated it all seems to be and how much gears it involves. Do you think you could show us how it all work or direct us to place that would?
Thanks again man. Keep the groove grooving :)
How do you get the tracks to play different tempos? I have to record for the same amount of time on my 2nd track as I did on my first track!
Tap the edit button next to the first track and scroll through the menu until you see “Measure” and change “Auto” to “Free” then repeat on each track
wow!!!!
how do you time your performance with the bpm?? is there a click track in your headphones?
Could you explain how you use the Novation Circuit ?
hey :-),
how did you manage to don't have your loop back in your microphone? i always have a little bit of the loop background from my speaker.
Thank you for your answer ;-)
If you use an omnidirectional mic your going to have more issues. Other than that just try to keep your mic as far from your speakers as possible and keep it mixed down when your not using it.
Does anybody know how I can sync 2 rc505s, so I can loop with a buddy , each on their on loopstation?
Hi I have a question do you HAVE to hook the rc505 up to a computer at any point ? I'm about to buy one but i dont know if u need a pc to us it
You don't have to connect it to a pc.
