Great demo, interesting music, I'm getting one. Seems a year later they have the 4 fader version now. The song needs a timpani track with the spiccato strings :)
Glad the video could help! Seems other people are having issues when contacting customer support, so do be careful with that! And yeah, the song could do with more work, thanks for the fun suggestions!
I was searching for this kind of thing for a fair price (1 to 3 big faders for dynamics and expression) and I swear everything that seems good quality is sooo expensive 😭 Some brands like Monogram sell a pack with 3 faders, 3 knots and 3 drum pads for 500$ 😂 like ??? I really don't understand why these things are so overpriced. For me, 100$ is the maximum i would pay for it, so the Sparrow 3x100 seems like a good option. I would like to know, have you seek any other options (decent ones) for a similar price or even cheaper? And thank u very much for the info! :)
I totally agree with you on every point 😅 I usually see these midi faders have unnecessary features that cause the price to go up, or the cheaper ones just being way too short. All of my research led me to this one as the winner for best price for exactly the features I needed, but I also want to mention that it's possible some new options might have popped up since I made this video. I'd personally start with this, and then eventually upgrade to something more heavy-duty later if need be.
@@HyS.officialBtw I just discovered the Expressive E Touché SE. I didn't know about it and I think it's absolutely amazing 😮 idk, if I'm gonna spend some money, I might wanna spend a bit more and have something so good that feels like an instrument on its own, and that I can use the rest of my life. Also, it comes with a software and lots of preset sounds. For 230€ I think it might be worth it. I thought that maybe you would like to know about this :)
@LauraBallestrino Oh yeah, Expressive E's stuff is awesome! I think it's definitely something I'd like to invest in eventually. However, what's interesting is I still see a ton of composers sticking to long faders. Maybe a combination of both would be best? (although expensive haha)
Stupid question but I bought Sparrow... I kind of imagined once programmed via online app it would cover all instruments as assigned per channel 1 for example for that midi assignment, say volume. Another programmed to expression channel, etc. But doesn’t work? Do you have to assign for each software instrument each time you use it via midi learn? Keyboards always are assigned mod wheel for same channel. I thought would be same for Sparrow? Am I missing something obvious? Duh?
Personally I haven't tried assigning different functions to different channels. Have you checked to make sure a particular midi track was accepting a signal on the correct midi channel? I know in ableton you can specify the midi channel input for each specific device/midi track.
no worries, I'm glad to help! Currently I use (from left to right) CC 5, 1 and 11. I think I talked about it in the video. 5 controls glide or portamento, 1 for mod wheel, and 11 for expression. I leave the channel on 1 for everything since I don't have any reason to change the midi channel
Hey there! Usually you won't need motorized faders for envelope automation. That's more for mixing (especially with consoles). Many professionals use something like this for desk space efficiency as well as the smooth faders.
Does anyone have contact details for The Midimaker - a phone number? I bought the Sparrow 3x100 this week and it was not working out of the box. I have now sent 5 emails to support and they are being ignored.
Strange, I've been messaged by someone else about having a hard time contacting The Midimaker as well. I'm not associated with them, but maybe I can help you out? What seems to be the issue?
This is EXACTLY the demo I needed, thanks for your thorough review and walkthrough!
This is what I want to know! Thanks for describing! Looking forward to the next video:)
Strange, never got this notification! Sorry for never responding 😅Glad the video helped and I'm going to get back to uploading soon! :D
just got mine and your video made it a super easy process to get it all set up. thanks!
Great to hear and glad I could be of help! :D

No idea what all these things mean, but I'm glad for you :)
It's your turn to make a video that I can't understand now.
@@HyS.official Check the only video I posted.
@@kooro_H oh geez, that video gonna go viral randomly in like 2 years.
Fun and informative video!
I put this on scheduled upload and forgot to update the info before the publishing date. I hope I didn't leave anything out! 😅
Let's gooooo!!!

여전히 잘 쓰고 있나요? 궁금하네요.
늦게 답변 해서 죄송해요 요즘 이 채늘 잘 안 보고 다른 프로젝트 관리 하고있었어요 ㅠㅠ
네! 아직도 잘 쓰고있습니다! 저는 아직 한번도 문제 없었어요
@@HyS.official ㅎㅎ 네 답변 감사해요. 가격도 저렴하고ㅜ해서 사고싶은데 그 유격있는것도 괜찮다는거죠? 좋은정보 감사합니다.
How do you set it up in Logic Pro X?
Hi there! Unfortunately I don't use Logic and I don't have any apple products, so I can't help you there

@@HyS.official thanks I’ll recheck. Did you just use your sparrow out the box no online channel assign?
I used the online assigner 👍
@@HyS.official what did you assign maybe I'll copy your routing? Sorry to be a trouble

Very useful thanks, And your face looks like a thumb 👍
I'm a beautiful thumb
I think your mic is upside down
Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe that shouldn't matter for mics as long as it's aimed towards the audio source :]
get a tripod for your camera
I have a tripod, but there's no good place to put it at the moment 😅 I promise quality with eventually improve :D
110USD for 3 unmotorized faders and a microcontroller 😂
right?? I made MIDI controller with 9 motorized faders for much less
What is a good product alternative in the market if you want something compact like this?

That's not good. Did you ever hear from them? I guess I'll have to keep looking.
