Excited to see yet another amazing synth I can’t buy haha. Good to see the options for some day down the road. You always do a good job on these, Jeremy
Geez! When I was a kid music was learning to play a clarinet and now technology has changed it so much! After over thirty years without playing an instrument I'm now starting to get into computer music and this just blew my mind. Unbelievable.
I'm back pining over this synth again, watching you and Benn, plus a few others now and getting my head around it more. I love how you had this synth going from the mono line sounding like demons dancing in hell, to the pads sounding like Angels coking to church. This is still the best demo of this synth out there, but I'm glad others are catching on.
When I saw all this lines and vectors automatically reminded me of that Nintendo DS game that I used to play when I was younger called Elektroplankton.
The delay looper segment was amazing. I have a Vector here on my desk and I'm learning it to some extent by watching your video. That was pretty inspiring even though I had no desire to use a looper at the outset.
On listening to the demos on their site, and the other reviews, it sounded like and interesting synth. But your review blows them out of the water. Constantly bringing fresh and outstanding sounds out of this machine. At times I had remind myself it was just a synth and a simple drum pattern playing. I can only imagine they are over the moon with the service you have done them.
What really sold me during the awesome demo section you did was just how versatile and fun this thing sounds! It's a mite chameleonic, and I love the range it has when it's doin the super-bright digital sounds.
I just bought this about 2 hours ago, and I am beside myself with excitement waiting for it to arrive. This is SO my sort of synth + sound design that its bonkers. Thanks for this vid!!
I've now had the Vector for 2 weeks and it's MORE than I hoped for. It's a synth that does "standard" sounds if you like (keys, pads, bass, etc), but with the capabilities it has, WHY WOULD I EVER MAKE NORMAL SOUNDS with this thing?? It is capable of generating hours worth of deep, multi layered, high fidelity(it's clean) unique ambient soundscapes without even connecting external fx. It's internal fx are almost always enough, and the Vector now is really the core of many of my projects. I'm so happy with this thing!!
first off this is the first time I've seen this synth and you have blown out my mind with it, and i am already a registered synth enthusiast.. second, the jams you were pumping through and around that thing were equally as tasty, you sir have my undivided UA-cam attention
In case no one else mentioned it, there should've been a Vicks Inhaler on the table next to this thing. Kidding aside, I like its very particular sound. It reminds me of FM and wavetable goodness. And I'm old, so I like printed manuals. I bought my Deluge because it came with a printed manual, and it just happened to be a wonderful little instrument.
You did such a great job with this. Your enthusiasm and thorough explaining of it was so awesome, but then the sounds and that rhythmic patch you created and play throughout is really beautiful. It's the best I've heard in demos of this synth. Thank you.
4:07 onwards. can imagine that in an illegal warehouse rave. Dancefloor missile - Direct hit - No Survivors - Clear up for days! Fabulous sound - Super demo..well done my man !
Stfu, there is nothing illegal in raves, it is government shills who decided to rob ppl who makes private parties where they don't pay taxes to fascists.
@@mathieuverrier7980 yes I think it’s an original sound engine in this, but does seem to share some principles like the orbiter as you say. Might have to dig out Animoog and play with it again while figuring out if I can justify getting this lol 😝
@@MichaelAldridgeGlidepro Definitely like Animoog, there is a lesser known app called Aphelian that uses the 4 corners thing that Vector does and similar "orbit shapes".
A number of the Arturia V Collection soft synths have similar features in expanded mode. The tactile interfaces on the Vector and the iPad Animoog app are nice, though.
So yesterday I saw this video in my suggestions. Seeing the length of it I knew it would be a breath to listen to while gaming. Great vid dude ! Great music as well ofc haha I really enjoyed it. Almost as much as your videos on modular synthesis :D
Then get a Raspberry Pi and put SunVox on it. Add some pots and switches with an Arduino or something, and throw it all into an old shoebox with an cheap tablet LCD. That's essentially what this thing is. Realtime Linux is a helluva drug!
@@brmbkl You don’t need a touch screen and you already own a computer and audio interface. If not, you’re using tape and that’s way more expensive, or a hard disk recorder, and in that case you made poor decisions.
Excellent demo. Really enjoyed your playing but the sound of this machine is absorbing. So much interesting timbre-shifts that I constantly focused on the sound and really got sucked in. Want this in my collection!
My thoughts exactly. Listening without the fancy lightshow the oscillators are too digital and brittle sounding for my tastes. Someone will love it though for sure.
I love the idea of the orbiters and I like that is built on Linux, seems like a clever way to build something like this. Awesome little jam at 38:17, it sounds so cool, put some vocals on top a la Chemical Brothers or Apparat and you got a hit.
Holy quack! You wouldn't believe this! These (Beetlecrab) guys are registered in Prague and their HQ is just about 10 minutes by walk from my house :-D This synth will be on my wish list, definitely!!!
Very cool, like a Kaoss Pad taken to the next the level with a great control/interface layout. The visuals are very pleasing, it would be cool if it had a video out for the vector 4 corner screen. Then run it to a projector for a stage show. Even a cheap portable projector on a wall would look cool.
First time, my cat listening very focused to a synth review … and I was mesmerized too … 😻 Since 12 minutes she listened to your explanations … I hope she remembered all, if I was able to make that monster mine … 😂
What a fabulous piece of gear - quite a revolutionary, yet intuitive, touchscreen that helps shape the marvelous sonic capabilities. What I particularly love is the vector in collaboration with the Synthstrom Deluge, which is one of my favorite music instruments and groove machines
At 20:00 you pretty much happened onto the classic snare sound of the 80's (Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight, etc)! I watched a whole documentary about that sound the other day.
It's funny how the official videos from Vector didn't excite me at all, but an outside person has made me pre-order it instantly. They really need to work on their marketing. Lol
This looks really cool. It's nice to see a good Linux-based synth with useful concepts put together in a coherent way, with an intuitive UI to visualize and control what's going on inside. The sound doesn't seem radically different than other devices with a bunch of LFOs and envelopes, but others would take a lot more work to get the same sounds... and a lot of synths simply don't have enough LFOs or oscillators to do it. It reminds me of the Arturia Polybrute, conceptually... except instead of morphing between two timbres, it does four... and has additional parameters to control that morph. It''s possible on other synths, but a lot less convenient.
yeah, it sounds digital. thanks karen, i get it. that's the point.

I am not a musician, but I realy like how we came back to these retro synth sound + add some new wave.
Geez! When I was a kid music was learning to play a clarinet and now technology has changed it so much! After over thirty years without playing an instrument I'm now starting to get into computer music and this just blew my mind.

This is still the best demo of this synth out there, but I'm glad others are catching on.
''Coming' to church I mean, not 'çoking'. Wasn't implying Angels would do lines off the pews, although I would put that past them.
I was weeping at one point. The joy and wonder this has brought me, im in awe.
Coolest synth I’ve seen in a long time! Hope they mass produce this.
When I saw all this lines and vectors automatically reminded me of that Nintendo DS game that I used to play when I was younger called Elektroplankton.
this reminds me of my first Game Console, the MB Vectrex from 1982 ;-)
I have one of these, and still found this Video MASSIVELY informative ..... Thanks Jeremy..
This synth looks like Nexus and Serum had a son. 😂
Nexus in a case would be a game changer with 128 voice polyphony
Yeah

The delay looper segment was amazing. I have a Vector here on my desk and I'm learning it to some extent by watching your video. That was pretty inspiring even though I had no desire to use a looper at the outset.

How could I miss this one? The Vector Sequencer is already the center of my DAWless setup ... so welcome Vector? Yes!
Oh jeez... these are available in 2023. I think I'm going to get one. I love having that visual expression of the sound!
It´s something like mixture of digital synth, chaoss-pad, and some Eventide multieffect, awesome idea, want it!!!

This is a really unique approach to synthesis. You did a great demo of a complicated system. 👍
That's fantastic! When I see things with touchscreens I usually fear the worst but this one really seems to put everything to good use.
Wow those demos could fit right into a sci-fi movie, they sound sick as hell
I want to listen to the intro demos on repeat.
Sound quality is phatt and rich.
or my live set, paired with several other synths as layers
:)
Great demos. The rhythm programming in the demos is pretty tight! I love the flavor of the synth, and the phat beats help fill in some body around it.
Also: Wonder if the Vector gets enjoyably thicker through that Silver Bullet behind you...
@34:29 actually gave me goosebumps. Very potent little machine it seems :O
Dude, same! I cried a bit.
I LOVE super visual workflows that encourage playful experimentation....This needs to go in my spaceship 🪐💫
This thing keeps on popping up on my radar. I love the interface just not sure I'm in love with the sound.
My thoughts exactly. Listening without the fancy lightshow the oscillators are too digital and brittle sounding for my tastes.
Someone will love it though for sure.
I'm actually the opposite. I love the sound but hate the interface.
@@billB101 Usually these brittle sounds are just not destroyed enough. Put them through some tape delay and call it good.
@@warp9988 Just buy a module with not so brittle sounding oscillators in the first place.
By far, the best video on the Vector. Job well done!

this thing sounds amazing! i haven't been this exited about a synth in years!
ooohh.. lovely... the screen is what I imagine my Wavestation is doing in it's head. :)
I just ordered an Akai MPC live 2 retro edition and damn now I want one of these as well. This thing would be sick for Drum N Bass.
Reminds me of the Animoog Synth… some very cool sounds from this unit too!
The Animoog just got even better with the Z version.
everytime I see and hear this little powerhouse again, I'm impressed, looks great sounds even better, would surely look nice in my setup!!
This is really cool hardware and software implementation 👍
Always a joy to watch you patch new equipment. So much potential with the vector it's insane
That’s amazing. First song kinda reminds me of the Stars of the Lid.
You just remind me about them. Really thankyou!

01:00 Takes me back to first playing Fez and Hyper Light Drifter.
The overview beat you had playing is 🔥..great work as always...more GAS for me
