    Wow, what a jam. Less then $200 bucks worth of synths and you easily made a song that slaps.

    I swore to myself I wasn’t going to buy an NTS 1, I have a Kronos for Gods sake! But I did after hearing the drone Tim Shoebridge has for a donation, he expects $10 and deserves it! It has a shimmer reverb too! Check it out, I went to school for programming but outside of school have never done it, Well here’s my chance! Great video!

    hey there. I was just about to buy a PO robot to play some melodies over what my PO arcade can do. would a nts-1 maybe be a more powerful yet not over-the-top alternative? Or is the ribbon keyboard not really meant for that, since it's more like an effect machine? I'm really really loving what you do in this video.

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  2 роки тому

      I think it depends on your setup. The robot is of course battery powered, but the NTS-1 needs USB power. That being said, the robot is stuck in one (C major/A minor), whereas the NTS-1 has access to all of the notes. The ribbon keyboard can be very difficult to play without a stylus though, but you can always plug in an external MIDI controller to play it. The effects on the NTS-1 will also sound great with your arcade. Like I said, really depends on your setup though. Thanks for watching!

    • @bumboclat
      @bumboclat 2 роки тому

      @@FreeBeat I don't have a setup lol, just the arcade, which lacks in lead options. I'm really liking the nts with its arp, but saw that the volca keys would also pair nicely with a PO, but more for rhythm I guess...

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  2 роки тому

      @@bumboclat The volca keys would be great too! Not really sure what you mean by it being for rhythm though. I'd still probably lean towards the NTS-1 for the effects, but either would be a great choice.

      @@FreeBeat (sorry for bothering you btw) so I went ahead and watched several dozen videos, mostly on your channel. besides showing me that an artist can make something out of anything, I think I decided against the nts and for the vkeys. the ribbon keyboard of the nts seems to be really bad when it comes to playing melodies, so all I could use it for would be the arpeggio and the effects. both of which I really like tho. with the vkeys on the other hand, I get a proper lead instrument that also has a step sequencer. meaning I get more out of it in the long run, and might add the nts if I feel I need its FX. thanks for your content. hoping to see more synth+PO jams.

    hey do you know of any hardware effect units that can transpose a signal? I LOVE my PO 20 but find it limiting that I cant play in any key

    • @FreeBeat

      I don't sadly, effects aren't really my area of expertise haha. You could always get a sampler and sample it?

    So Nice! Just a question, can you pay #'s on the arcade?

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  4 роки тому

      Ttttttechnically. It's all dependant on what chord you have in the background (whether you have them playing or not). It can get pretty complicated to get the notes that you want.

    How do you sync with stereo?

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  4 роки тому

      The P.O.'s can only output mono, but any stereo cable coming out of the NTS-1 will techincally be in stereo!

    • @robertbuckly76
      @robertbuckly76 4 роки тому +2

      Figured out it’s easier use NTS to sync PO-20 then set po to sync 2 and then run stereo out to audio in on the nts for stereo effects.
