Bleeps and Boops
Великобритания
Добавлен 9 апр 2022
Hi there... welcome to things that go bleep and boop
I've sort of fallen in to this - I don't claim to be an ambient sound designer, pro RUclipsr, I don't have soundpacks or sample libraries you can buy, but over the years I've accumulated a few bits of random 80's/90's synth things and not really had much of an outlet for playing it. I figured that demoing it in context, a few covers, a few tutorials etc might be useful...
I'll be trying to avoid the DAW where possible - I spend far too many days stuck editing audio in Pro Tools, and whilst I've nothing against ITB, it just lacks the *fun* factor of a DAW-less track
If there's something I think is interesting - a track, piece of gear I've managed to get hold of, workflow etc - I'll try to film it. Drop me a comment on any of the videos if there's something you want to see covered.
Thanks for looking!

Roland S1 meets the Hologram Electronics Chroma Console
Short video - and sorry I haven't posted for ages - working on other projects!
Having some fun with the S1 (WHAT IS THIS, A SYNTH FOR ANTS??) and the Chroma Console. Have been looking to try out the Chroma for ages, and finally got the chance.
Really liking the range of effects available - might do some more on midi control and automation if there's interest: I hooked it up to the Hapax's LFO and it can make some pretty wild sounds..
Thanks for watching and please comment/like/subscribe if this is your kind of thing!

One of those times when Aphex Twin wasn't Aphex Twin - Polygon Window hardware only cover/recreation

A few people have requested this one - happy to oblige! A sense of the synths and drum machines that Richard had around the time is mostly based around the '93 Future Music interview - lannerchronicle.wordpress.com/2020/08/30/the-aphex-effect-future-music-magazine-april-1993/ Since the Roland R8 was used for a lot of SAW - see my Xtal video ruclips.net/video/tiynQ33EDwA/видео.html - it makes se...

Covering the uncoverable one step at a time... Also 10,000 subscribers??? Thankyou so much for each and every click/like - none of this was particularly planned, so any engagement at all is a surprise! It's been a while since I've uploaded one of these, and I have to say, 'Theme' was a real challenge. I've been obsessed with this track for years, so finally getting round to covering it has been...
The Korg Wavestation - Orbital's Halcyon+On+On Synth
Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
One of the greatest synth pads of all time IMHO - this video came about discovering @GyuBeats' breakdown of Orbital's Halcyon On On - link here... ruclips.net/video/XAkCBr8UmHE/видео.html - and then finding (courtesy of synth legend @Jody Wisternoff) that the intro pad was made with the Korg Wavestation. I have a Wavestation SR in my rack of 90s stuff, so thought it might be good to show how to...
DAWlessly Recreating Café Del Mar on mostly 90s synths

This was totally inspired by a video uploaded by @mastertracker510 , who re-uploaded a video that Andre Strasser uploaded (and subsequently deleted) of his studio setup for Cafe Del Mar - ruclips.net/video/eqsMFXDYYZI/видео.html Is it the GOAT? Maybe. Comments below. Sadly I don't own any of the JP8K or Access Virus synths, so most of Ferry Corsten's output is out... as is Xpander! Synths are t...
Modern sequencing on vintage drum machines: Roland R-8 meets the Squarp Hapax
Просмотров 6 тыс.Год назад
I've wanted to do something with the idea of sequencing and automating the sounds on the R8 for a while, so now here we are..! Using an external sequencer makes the R8 a lot more suited to live use, though it isn't without some quirks (thanks Roland) Apologies to anyone who likes music and synths, these jams are quite jammy and I didn't even squeeze in a Nick Batt gurn... I've got the MIDI outs...
When banjos went techno - DAWless-ly recreating the Grid - Swamp Thing
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.Год назад
Not sure how popular this one will be, since it's certainly not as high-brow as the Warp back-catalogue, however, here's me, winning a pint 🍺 Not 100% by some way - there's some sample-library fluff and sprinkles that are needed, and I didn't have enough sends to get the long delay on the vocals... also where is the "dig it" sample? Couldn't hear it in Lloyd & Patsy.. ??? If you just want to se...

My take on the banjo stomping monster track from 1994 - please see my other video ruclips.net/video/fGN0odN8FXU/видео.html for the making of RIP Roger Dinsdale 🪕🪕 Despite the effort that's gone into making it, the video is demonetised because of copyright, copyright, copyright... *All* the banjos, and yet the only bit that the bots think is Swamp Thing is the SH101/S1 line around 1:26 😂😂 ...

Synth Secrets of the Alesis Quadraverb
Просмотров 23 тыс.Год назад
Surely the most common delay and reverb unit on earth, but how often do we take the time to see what random stuff this thing does? Sooo, I'm going to try and explore a few ideas and techniques to show how the venerable vintage Alesis Quadraverb can go beyond something that just does reverbs, with the aid of the (increasingly useful) Roland S1 and the (surely legendary by now??) Elektron Analog ...
Roland R8 - The Autechre drum machine
Просмотров 75 тыс.Год назад
Many videos have been made about the R8. Everyone wanted it, it's a piece of bad gear, lots of stuff about programming a basic beat... however I haven't seen any that attempt to explain Autechre on it. This video is the companion to another one - ruclips.net/video/M9KKbuzys7A/видео.html - where I cover Crystel. Hopefully it explains a few things about the machine, how you get those weird sounds...

Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
A _lot_ of people were asking for some Autechre on this channel. The big problem is IT'S REALLY HARD. Especially if you don't have Max/MSP and want to do things DAWless with older hardware... However.... Autechre did a big WATMM Q&A session a few years back, so we know that a lot of their early work was sequenced with the Roland R8 as featured here.

Yes, another version of 'Little Fluffy Clouds', but this time #DAWless with a vintage #Akai sampler and a box of floppy disks because that's what they had back then Lots has been said about the samples and structure of this one, most of it covered over on @GyuBeats beats excellent Ableton breakdown.

Cool ! The sound of the Chords are from ? So much inspiration man thank you..ps what is apache drums ?
Thanks! Chords are from a track called "Evil at Play" by Steve Jefferies, Apache Drums are the drum break from the start of "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo Band.
I bet he's still growing those nails. Heebie jeebies
Cool. Electronic card on R8 or internal sound ?
Neither, the R8 is just sequencing the S3000!
Wooooow I really Love love. THe sound are from the card ? the name of your Card. i buy one tomorrow
All stock R8 sounds, no expansion card used on this video! 👍
Awesome quadraverb video. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
As a developer it drives me crazy when people can't do better than a sketchy Windows 3.11-looking UI in 2024.
Haven't seen any updates but it was a throw back to "my first C# app" when loading up the interface... It's that intersection between software devs that can code low level USB drivers, and UI/UX experts though. On a functional level, it's all there. It's just not very pretty!
@ LOL yeah! But I mean C# isn't so bad. In 2012 I was making apps with C# and JQuery that looked pretty good! But this type of thing is usually made by the type of guy who does a lot of bash scripting and probably has an E-mu rack sampler that he burns ROMs on for his Command Station. Different priorities.
Mind completely blown
Thanks!
It's funny to see these old things pop up in popularity now and then. I'm selling my unit for about $70. It's been with me since early -90s.
Can I buy it off you ?
Everything goes in waves... 20 years from now, people will be dumping their digitakts for peanuts because they're seen as dated... 😁
@ 😄👍🏻
Aphex Twin has one. That says it all! Great review
I know he has/had an R8, but has he started messing about with the Waverex? That would be cool!
Incredible
Thank you!
I wish you made more videos. I really enjoy them
Working on it!
I have always been a little scared to go "Dawless" but seeing you and others using that Hapex, makes me think maybe i could do it!!!! Anyways, great video!!!!
Do it! And thank you!!
Absolutely brilliant reconstruction!
Thanks!
Me: Mom, Can we have Aphex Twin Xtal? Mom: We have Aphex Twin Xtal at home. Aphex Twin Xtal at home:
💯
The only issue is that the Akai H3000XL and the Roland JV1080 were realeased after that tune was relaesed to the kids so their you have it so it will not sound the same, that is tech for you. Good day.
Thanks for watching! Didn't think I used the jv1080 in this one did I? There's some discussion around which S-series sounds best but meh. Samples are samples - it's how you use them that counts ✌️
People like you are the reason we have vapor wave music
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
So this is how music was made back in the day.
Very much! Makes a change from being distracted by millions of presets!
@@bleepsandboops It's really surprising that to record music like this you need to do it all in one go.
Can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers, you do amazing work.
Thank you! 🙏
I got hooked on ROYGBIV around 2004. It's interesting to see BoC put it together!
🍊 Have been a fan for a very long time... Would love to see how they put it together for real (and a new album already!!) but don't think that's happening any time soon... 😄
I like the original better. ;) Amazing job here. Very impressive.
Thanks! 👍
so so so kewl
Thank you! 😎👍
Hola!Siempre gracias por el aporte. Tengo una duda sobre los efectos. Utilizas el mismo delay para el TX81, para alguno de sonidos de bateria , para los strings y para el MS20 enviandolos por un canal auxiliar al quadraverb? Y reverb? Con un quadraverb es suficiente, o tendría varios?
Hello! Yes, it's just one aux channel through just the one Quadraverb!
@bleepsandboops Fantástico, es de gran ayuda así como tus vídeos, gracias..un saludo!
Wonderful. Thank you so much for a very solid demonstration! Kudos! :) Note: those animations (on the songs)? Hand made? AI involvement?
Thank you! Two of the songs are just editing, but the animated one with over the Tangerine Dream style track was made with Disco Diffusion, using the cover of Klaus Shultz's as a starting point 😄
virtual anal
wut?
Superb mate 👌
Thank you!
So, I need time for my Quadraverb ....
Fantastic bit of kit - you definitely do need to sit down with it!
I would like to control it live with midi, its on my list
This is an incredble re-recreation. I love watching you break down every step. This is inspiring me to break out some of the analogue gear that's collecting dust.
Thanks! And do it! 💪😎
07:52 Doktor Mix ?
He gets everywhere...
Do el creokle Hey waka wabe Boom trt trrr trrr boom trr trrr trrr
💪💪
It's apparently the Type O Negative drum machine also. I guess most of their albums don't have live drums
Sounds very much like it!
Amazing ..just randomly found this channel- love samples n BOC, job well done
Thank you!
Sounds perfect for the sound you are after from the title. Any plug-in alternatives (or combination of) for this?
It's really handy having it all in one box, in hardware form for definite! Plugin alternatives... I'm a sucker for Soundtoys tbh, which would probably cover most of the modulation and delay options. Distortion, likely Ohmicide because it's so versatile, whilst the tape can be covered by Soundtoys delay (turn the mix to 100% wet, delay to 0ms and then play with the tape models), and Goodhertz Wow Control for the wackier end of things 👍👍
Where are the drum sounds coming from?
Elektron Analog RYTM, offscreen 🤖🥁
I feel robbed with no voiceover, but what a cool piece of hardware! Hope we get to see the Chroma Console flex its muscles more in future projects.
Next time, and yes, next time! 💪🌈
Brilliant video! Where did you find the notes and chords for the song?
Thank you! I just played some notes until it sounded right!
Love this!
Thank you!
Love that sound man! Come back soon with more videos, you are missed here 😎
Thanks! Working on it, but life/video/content balance etc!!
Nice. I think Hologram Electronics owes you a commission, cuz I totally want to buy one now.
😎👍 I was worried about it being a one trick pony but having lived with it for a bit before making the video, I'm finding more and more things with it. Especially the collage stuff with tempo synced loops and so on.. wouldn't use it on a whole mix, but as a sound source for one instrument, it's great
sounds very good
Thanks!
Awesome. The driven tape sound over drawn out chords is such a subtle thing, but it absolutely defines BOC.
It's such a cool sound, and having it just 'there' in a pedal is a bit of a gamechanger tbh
Ants have needs too you know.
Between this and volcas I think they're covered... 👍👍
seems like this doesn't really work on the r8m. you can load the samples individually from waverex software editor but cannot load a kit. you have to roll your own :(
Bah. Have you reached out to Marco? The R8 FB page is pretty active and helpful too
@bleepsandboops yes he wasn't much help but no matter I don't think it's a product for me.
how did they even think about combining those samples in the first place?
Freedom and time to experiment with sampling, without the pressure to make social media content... Also drugs I think. Mostly drugs. 🍊
Great use of the Hapax! I love it.
Thanks! The Hapax is quite the midi brain! 💪🧠
Amazing stuff the synth sounds are bonkers ! Always struggled with FM gear tbf. I was convinced there was a 606 in there. Such fine work Mr Bleeps !
Thank you!
really enjoyed your video, I remember that cymbal sound,i always thought it was from a sampler didn't realize until recently it was r8, i had a real tr-808 but there is also place for sampled versions for a different flavor, i had r5 back in the day too, i heard these sounds on polygon window tracks too,love early warp,i used to go into their record shop early 90s in sheffield,u.k, the warp artificial intelligence series were a great inspiration to me:)
There's a really strong (R8 shaped) line between Polygon Window and aE - and that Artificial Intelligence album is absolutely killer!
Memory Lane 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Roland R-70, Boss Dr5 😎 Those were the good and days 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best!
Excellent video. You’re very skilled at recreation of this BOC classic.
Thank you!
Well done! Is it the remix from 3 and 1?
Thank you, and yes it is!
Hey! Nice track! wanted to ask about the ROM you are using for the r8
Thanks! ROM here is the Electronic one with the 808 sounds on!
