Thanks for another great video. I like your chord-box/parameter-box concept. Gonna try it (though I'm preently falling back in love with the Liven 8bit Warps following the recent 3.0 firmware).
You're welcome / thank you! And yeah, I understand - I've been playing the Warps a ton lately too and have had a newfound appreciation for it with the update. I also figured out a new little trick with it and recorded another video about it, which I'll publish soon - as soon as I have time to edit it.
Love it!..thanks!..its inspired me to try out Texture lab…while i am waiting to Torso S4..)..which has a display..and 4 layers…but..TLab looks easy and simple…in your hands..)😢
@@SonicCartography yes..its promising..) By the way…how easy is sampling on TexLab?…can i do it live fast?…for example- i play..keys..than samle at one button…and imminently play back…as a looper…and after tweak it?…or ..do i need a looper in between? To have a enogh time to preaper some texture foundation for next soloing..? Maybe i miss your explanation video about it?
@@andropolonsky You've got to do a key press combination to go into recording mode, either press another key to start recording or have the automatic sound-detection recording feature enabled, record for 6 seconds, then pick a memory slot to save the preview of the sample that it gives you at the end of the recording, and then you can start to play/manipulate the sample, so it’s not quite that seamless. That's using it as a synthesizer. Using it as a live effects unit in effects mode, you can instantly “freeze” a few seconds of whatever you’re playing into it, and manipulate the sample and play it monophonically that way, so that’s much more seamless, but also the controls or more limited (you can’t slow down the sample or play it polyphonically, for example). I’ve got a video demonstrating using it as a live effects unit, and I’m sure Chris Lody’s tutorial on the controls and features shows the sampling in action (I’m not sure where or if I’ve shown it myself without fast forwarding).
The very best overview and boundary-pushing exploration on this device. I’m very close to buying one. In the mean time…I’d be interested to know what’s the closest equivalent (if any) iOS app for realtime granular? Thanks!
Thank you! The only granular app I've used myself is Tardigrain, but that doesn't do realtime. I've seen Fluss and Silo get recommended, and I'm pretty sure both of them do realtime; I can't vouch for them personally, but they might be worth checking out!
@@VuotoPneumaNN Yeah, and as I mentioned in the comment thread on the other video (@advenchr_us posted there are well), it just needs to be a standard jack on one side and a mini jack on the other (for going into the Texture Lab), assuming you're connecting to the Texture Lab from a standard pedal or directly from a guitar.
Hm... I mean, it only takes a few button presses to do, and it's fairly straightforward, and it gives you the essential options, like being able to set a threshold for automatically starting recording... but it's not quite as painless as sampling on, say, an OP-1, and you can't do it on the fly in the middle of a song the way you can with an OP-1. You have to do it in advance.

OMG! Exceedingly DOPE! YOU RULE! Awesome sounds! 👍😎❤😎👍
Haha thank you!
Just to echo the earlier comments another great video!
Thank you very much!
I don't own this synth yet but this video was very helpful to understand the capabilities ane also the helpful tips. Thanks very much!
You're welcome, and thank you for the nice feedback! I'm glad you found it helpful!
@@SonicCartographymine just came yesterday but I haven't even turned it on yet.
@@Countachockula well, one thing at a time!
@@Countachockula and? used it yet?
Again thank you! Your videos are truly inspiring and extremely helpful. You are a genius ❤
Aw, thank you for the very nice comment! I appreciate it, and I’m glad you find them to be that way 😊
Thanks for this. Would not have thought of that on my own!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching! Glad it showed you something new (to you)!

Turn the poor kid into a synthesizer. XD ;3 Thanks, poor kid. Hehe. 🤝
This is the demo that got me to buy this thing.
I hope you like it!
Wow.
😊
Beyond cool. 👌
Thanks for stopping by!

I'm glad to hear that! I hope you enjoy it! And I hadn't heard of the Torso before, but it looks very cool and powerful!

can you connect guitar pedals to this? if so how?
Yes, I'll answer you in the other video (the one over here, for anyone else reading this: ua-cam.com/video/owGKK1SQczE/v-deo.html),
With a jack cable

What is sample recording like? Easy or painful?

Fellow kalimba player! Shalom.
