Wow, this is sick, I’ve never seen a synth video manual as beginner-friendly as this one. I don’t have this thing, but after seeing this I’m very interested in picking one up. One advantage of making the video so low-level detailed is that it shows off the powerful but small features that actually make things so powerful for more experienced users. For me, an avid Elektron user, I’m shocked by how powerful this sequencer is. It has even more power in some ways than the Elektron sequencer, which is wild given the price of the synth and how famously powerful the Elektron sequencer is purported to be.
Another winner, it’s made the ambient 0 more fun to use and is a great reference. Thanks. Would be interested to see similar videos of the other boxes.
Thks for this video really useful. Now and I talk for a lot of people it will be great to add a video about the way how to import pallet from creators in our device. Not easy at all
Regarding the tie limitation: On my Roland SH-4D I can tie back to page one, thus creating a drone. Since this is a 'drone-machine' that sould be possible? Is the only solution then to make the release on the last note so long that it blends into the first note on page one? If the question is answered later in the video I apologize. I haven't seen it all yet. Great tutorial, by the way.
Thank you! I address it a bit in the “song recipe” section, but basically, since you can slow the note value all the way down to 8/1 and have 64 steps, you can have one note or chord be 512 bars long, which at 80 bpm would be about 25 minutes. You could extend that to 50 minutes if you slowed down to 40 BPM. So, in other words, the unusually long note value is what makes the sequencer drone-friendly, despite the limitation.
Yeah sequencing isn’t for me. I don’t know exactly how to play a key board but the flow of actually playing keys is way more enjoyable for me Edit: then the fact I can never remember what keys i sequenced cause the keys don’t light up 😅
I actually don’t like step sequencing in many contexts either and usually have a strong preference to play the keys live as well-but the live recording mode of the sequencer can give you the best of both worlds: the freedom to go with the flow and just play things via intuition that comes with playing the keys live and the rhythmic precision of having your notes get quantized that comes with sequencing, plus the ability to record and gradually layer things like you can on a looper. This is how I use the sequencer most of the time. So, maybe check out that section of the video (0:42:47) or give the live recording mode a chance if you haven’t already!

That’s a masterclass on sequencers, much appreciated 👌

I for one appreciate the level of detail because I find this machine is not at all the easy to learn but hopefully worth it. Thank you!
Great! ❤
Ah brilliant! Gonna have to come back to this one -I’ve got a lot to learn about sequencing in general 😅😅😅😅
Yes!!🎉

I wish there was a much more concise video. Love this for an absolute beginner to music, but the explanation was not concise
