i have a nanozwerg...it's pretty good the resonance and filter is pretty harsh on it though..it screams really easy!..it complements my minibrute, volca bass and volca keys well.
I'm a total nub when it comes to this stuff, I'm thinking of either getting this or the Arturia MicroBrute. I have an etherwave theremin with CVs and I don't think the microbrute presents as much possibilities with CVs. But the MicroBrute sounds so cool. I don't know which one I should buy, Help! Also very straightfoward and helpful and entertaining video.
If you enjoy making melodies and really playing a synth, get the Microbrute. If you want something very cheap that has a more old-school approach to synthesis, get the Zwerg. I personally would pick the Brute. The sequencer is good, it has the same external control options as the Nanozwerg and has a keyboard. Did I mention it sounds positively evil?
There seem to be a big difference between this and the Waldorf Rocket, or am i wrong? the bass seems deeper on the rocket, while this machine makes sounds much like computer game sounds, i am looking to get a little module synth, dont know which yet.
+MrKeys57 its a whole different concept. The MFB is a classic monosynth with 1 osc + sub osc and full adsr envelop and vcf (filter). Its fully analog. The Waldorf Rocket is an digital Synth with analog Filter. It has 8 osc for the unison mode. (so you can play accords)
Sorry, I didn't tested the Werkstatt. But in fact, Werkstatt is a Moog, has a patch area and a lot of mod points on the pcb. So if I have to choose between the Nanozwerg and the Werkstatt, well …
@@thomasgoetze well, go with the nanozwerg, of course! ; ) i'll bet they'll be more sought after, some time in the very near future. and, well … i like it more, too. but it's all sounds, good sounds, musical sounds, sometimes, even, which are good. thanks for the vid, much appreciated.
CV/Gate is a norm which is used for analog machines. It's "more powerful than MIDI" : old/analog sequencers control via CV/Gate, this is also used for patching several synths together (imagine three Korg MS20 linked together :D ) and a synth can be patched with itself. Like MIDI there is no sound through this, only information, you plug a sound module in a filter or a lfo.......
Even after 10 years this is the best video for any MFB machine out there
Great Video, very well done job!
This is how I'd like all the machines test tu be made !
really nice Test of a very nice little synth, well done :)
Comparing this to volca bass.. MFB got ADSR, HP filter, PWM, triangle wave
volca owner here

more on this! :D

Start with the Microbrute. There is nothing like a synth with a keyboard … ;-)

+Grimly Ghost thanks for the reply!
guter Test :D
ist das dieser kleine Behringer Mixer? Nimmst Du den auch als Interface für den PC? Wie bist Du damit zufrieden?
Any thoughts on how it compares to the Moog Werkstatt?

I'm surprised when I see it can do all this without changing CV/gate!!
can you explain what cv/gate is? i've heard of it in many videos now

Same pattern for EVER!!!!!
Where can I get one?
Robert Jackson their website..
Robert Jackson or eBay, Reverb, etc.
Sounds digital
It sounds like a Pocket Operator.
Hardly.
