At 17 years old I sold my polysix and Mono/Poly to buy Olin freestyle skis witn Scott boots. It was in the 70's. Still do music and ski here in Québec !! Take care sir.
Good health to you, Ralph. Your videos are so easy to follow (as a synth newbie) but SO full of information. You, sir, are an educator of the highest order!
Hallo Wolfgang, vielen Dank für die Genesungswünsche. Ich werde zwar nicht mehr durch die Buckelpiste brettern, aber entspanntes Skifahren wird bald wieder drin sein. VG Ralph
Sending you lots of positive vibes and wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery. Take care, and we look forward to seeing you back in youtube. Love From India.☺
Hi Ralph. Was thinking about you the other day. I felt you would appear again soon. We are all entitled to a break, indulge in other interests. It keeps us fresh and interested in life. Good to see you friend 😀😀😀
HEy Ralph! thanks for answering my questions during this time (ARP2600 and Analog SEq). I've been on a similar path, focused more on KiteBoarding 🏄♂ Muscles and skeleton has their own memory, so you'll be ok soon 👍 👍 👍, "motion is life; stillness... is not!" TRAIN HARD!!! About your entertainment during recovery, darn! 🎹 my own family will not see me for weeks when I get my TEO-5
Hello Marco, I have always been fascinated by Kiteboarding ever since I saw it on TV for the first time around 30 years ago. Guess it's too late now to start another dangerous sport 😉 Many thanks for stopping by! Cheers, Ralph
Hi Ralph. Just bought the Behringer UB-XA and just discovered your channel. Please do know that I really like your approach and your tutorial style videos. In one of your first videos on the UB-XA you said that you wanted to bring out more tutorials. I am really looking forward to this and subscribed to your channel. Get well soon and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
@@RalphBaumgartl Hi there Ralph. And thank you for answering my message to you so fast. Much appreciated. To be honest, I did not know that there is a Desktop version available..... And to be even more honest, I am quite new into synthesizers. At least in owing them and playing them (obviously I have been a great synthesizer fan for a great deal of my life...). That's also why I am looking out for tutorials about synthesizers in general and the Behringer OB-Xa specifically to better understand and use the synth to its full potential. I really hope that you can be an experienced guide for me on this journey. So looking forward for more OB-Xa content from you. Stay well and stay safe. Ronald
Hallo Ralph. Schön das du wieder da bist. Ich wünsche dir viel Energie, damit du für dich und alles was du liebst wieder auf den richtigen Level kommst. Ganz liebe Grüße Kurt
Glad to hear you're on the mend, keep on healing. Just a thought though, with some of the tiny synths available these days maybe you could combine the two? Windspeed detectors generating CV signals? Oops! I'm having a mad scientist moment 😀
Thank you for your kind words! Mixing windspeed detectors and synths? That's a genius idea! Who knows, you might just revolutionize the music industry!
I was always an intermediate skier (though an expert water-skier), the day I thought I was an expert snow skier I ended up tearing my right knee ACL and had to be carted down the mountain on a snow-stretcher. Ended up having surgery to reconstruct it. That was the end of my skiing career, but at least I still have synthesizers (and a road bicycle)!. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I suppose you were also waterskiing in the Pre-Wakeboard time ;-) Slalom, Trick and Jumping. Waterski Jumping is extremely wild! Did you do that as well? Greetings, Ralph
@@RalphBaumgartl Slalom skiing- starting in deep water from one ski! I grew up on the South Shore of Long Island, NY and skied Great South Bay. We used to jump the 2 meter wake of the ferries going across to Fire Island. Interesting thing- after I recovered from my knee surgery I wanted to ski once last time (so that the last time I ever skied wouldn't be on a stretcher) and stuck to beginner slopes for the morning. In the afternoon I decided I wanted to try snowboarding (which was relatively new then), my instructor told me it was just like slalom water-skiing as far as weight distribution. As soon as he told me that, I was an instant expert! But I decided not to push my luck, and that afternoon was my last on the slopes...
@@marzzz1 Slalom waterskiing was also my favorite Waterski discipline. And....I am also not pushing my luck with sports anymore. Just for fun and recreation 😃
You're my favorite 2600 person, Ralph. You got me up and running to use it in production work and I'm forever grateful. Hoping and praying for the best for you always.
What a combination, skiing and synthesizers. I only hope you were able to tend to the orthopedic issue, Ralph. A guy I play music with here in the US is also an avid skier, and he had to hang them up this season (which he wanted to be his skiing swan song) to undergo hip replacement. Too bad there are no longer glaciers on this part of North America (New York). I keep telling him that winter 2025 will be his final outing.
It's amazing how hobbies can intertwine with unexpected challenges. Sending good vibes to your friend for a smooth recovery! I am making daily progress, but nevertheless I am going to play it save in the future. No hard Mogul Skiing, just cruising on soft and easier slopes ;-) Cheers, Ralph
1:34 Those curtains! :O Just by seeing those I feel like I'm 6 or 7 years old again, haha. I can see why shows like Stranger Things are really popular. The 80's did sorta "shine" a bit more, right? Like people were more enthusiastic about everything. Today, being social/creative means: get your phone out, bury your head in there and everything's gonna be fine. I'm really considering buying one of those 3310 reissues and get rid of my iPhone. As sorta an experiment, I lived for a week without any social media a couple of months back and I felt alive again, like... being HERE. Don't know how to explain this, haha. :)
Hi Ralph, we’re about the same age, and I relate to your story of decades of intense activity finally taking its toll, so I’m glad to hear you’re on the mend. You inspired me to purchase a UB-Xa a while back, and I’m sure this excellent track will inspire others.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am glad that my videos inspired you to get an UB-Xa for yourself. I haven't regret my decision for a single day. Great Synth! Wishing you lots of fun with your UB-Xa. Cheers, Ralph
Thank you for your well wishes. Cycling is also one of my favourite activities. I give it another month and then I might get back on my bike again. Currently I am mostly spending my sport time in the Gym and walk around with Nordic Walking poles :-)
Hi Ralph. I am new to your channel but heck you are a nice bloke. You are too valuable to us in the synth world to do skiing. Its dangerous. My German Wife now deceased used to say Sport ist Mord!!! Just get well, play and teach us synths. I am partially deaf but hear every word you say. So clear and concise. I have just bought a Behringer 2600 and followed you video how to get a sound out of it. I wrote most of what you said down as the 74 year old memory needs jerking. When I eventually got that tremendous sound out of it I have decided now to have another one. This time the Blue Marvin with real spring reverb. It is the best synth I have ever had. Please do more videos on 2600 on patching and what happens when you connect what to what. Please? Keep on the mend dear man " und immer halt die Höeren steiff!" Sport ist Mord. Vergesse es!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and! I'm glad you found my channel and find my tutorials helpful. Trust me, I have slowed down on my skiing and spend more time with my Synths now ;-) Wishing you lots of fun with your 2600 Synth. Greetings, Ralph
Hello, I have a beginner question, I copied a patch from a Korg arp 2600m into the Arturia 2600 v3 vst and the sound is not even close, is this something common? How can I copy the same sound from the korg to the Arturia?
Try to move the slider position of the relevant modules. There's always a difference in sound between various 2600 versions/clones and between VST versions. The very same slider position on one 2600 Synth doesn't necessarily yield the same sound on another 2600 Synth/clone. Play around with the slider positions.
I'm glad you're doing well :) Your channel has been a goldmine of a resource for me, and so many others, while learning synthesis techniques
Thank you for this kind feedback! So stoked that you have learned something from my tutorials. Cheers, Ralph
Ralph, gutt dass du wieder da bist. Ich habe viel gelernt von deinen Behringer ARP 2600 blue marvin tutorials, danke schőn davor.
Das freut mich! Hoffe du hast viel Spaß mit deinem 2600 Synth. 😃
At 17 years old I sold my polysix and Mono/Poly to buy Olin freestyle skis witn Scott boots. It was in the 70's. Still do music and ski here in Québec !! Take care sir.
Olin Skis! The "Oberheim" of the 1980s Ski world :-) I once had a pair of Olin Skis too. Greetings to Canada! Cheers, Ralph

@@RalphBaumgartl yes skiing and skating are both great exercise but can be dangerous!
