dreams really do come true! 😁one day I'm being inspired by mylarmelodies video on generative modular techno, then I wake up today and the result is in the hands of the man himself! thanks MM! 😊 FM madness prevails!!
It's late fall, almost winter. Thank you for reminding me that I can grab my NTS-1, Volca Drum, and Bastl Dude and just plonk myself on the couch and jam. No sitting/standing at the desk, no need to crawl about for sockets, just wire it up and make "techno!"
I'm obsessed with the Error Instruments "Brickies" and have bought rather too many... I did discover that they definitely work best in pairs, rather than trying to over-complicate things. Love the closing jam. Thank you.
There hangs a tale: This was the first video I shot in my purpose built studio - and I lacerated my finger finishing it off!! 🤪 So so good to have it inhabitable tho.
These devices are wonderful. While I’m mostly hybrid (hardware and iPad), I can have a huge amount of fun with a DecadeBridge Cadence and a Wingie 2. Add in a Moog Mavis optionally. One of the comments here has reminded me of the NTS-1, which I could add to the mix. Inspiring video, as always.
Funny,, just purchased the Crum Drum about 2 weeks ago and now i'm thinking of getting the Freaq FM from Thonk....Greetings from Florida...Love your Videos btw, Thank you for sharing..
Don’t fear the soldering, it’s easy to teach yourself and you only need an iron, wire wool and some snippers. Video I made on the subject ruclips.net/video/9g2Q0esgBuk/видео.htmlsi=MfoNqmoFUxw8EgLi
When a random YTer does a 100% sponsored video the keyboard warrior in me is out and ready 😡 when MM does a commericial for two nasty synths available from Thonk you know the next 20 minutes won’t be wasted👍 nasty as always Mr Magic Hands🤘
Ha - yes you can rest assured that I only agree demo cool things I would actually recommend to my friends, otherwise what’s the point! These defo surprised me, be curious to pair the swarm with the Freaq(!)
Tiny weird little gear is fine, but if it requires soldering it’s out of the reach of most of us. And fortunately, these ARE available as built items, for surprisingly little more than the kits. Thank you guys!
@@brokenscart7989chill eager beaver. There are those that are visually or physically hindered. That's why it's great when companies do the pre builds too.
After seeing your RUclips I really fancy a few FM to pair up with my Roland T-8 and S-1, I can't see a volume control on the FM am I right in thinking I'd need a mixer to hook the sound up?
Complete novice alert: anyone have the patience to explain to me which cable goes where as I can’t work it out from the video and am super new to this stuff. Feel a bit of an idiot so please be gentle

Amen - my compliments to the chef, Freaq is great fun, jamming with it and TR8 right now, good times!

Love the closing jam. Thank you.
All the bastl kastle range are very good fun, and fit in the palm of your hand.
I have the freq already and love it. Fun little build. But now i guess i need that crum drum!! Was curious before and this makes my mind up.
Hell yeah! Love little weird machines like these. Good stuff, Boss
inspired! ordered Freaq FM. Crum Drum in a few weeks. perfect for my tiny studio.
ace! have fun
made up both of them, very impressed with the crumdrum especially
Aren’t we going to talk about the band-aid on the middle finger of the right hand? 😋 Nice video, as per usual,and great refreshing gears presented.

Toejam & Earl immediately sprung to mind with that nice little WHSmiths reference, thank you for the memory Alex
Still vividly remember counting book tokens(!) and birthday cash to buy my own copy of Sonic 3 for £60 in WHSmiths somewhere in 1993 - loved that game
@@mylarmelodies loved Sonic, but do distinctly recall trying rip the controller in half in the Labyrinth Zone multiple times ha ha ha
Crum Drum and a DFAM would be great together.
basically like old autechre inside of 25cm² is some hiiiiiigh praise!
“Like the inside of a Megadrive on christmas morning in 1992” also works
Well, I’m now in love with the crum drum and probably won’t rest until it’s under my greasy fingertips.
I am about to create a jam with this two devices. Hopefully the drum crum gets some new features per update .

Thanks!! Let me know if you have any crum tips (or should I say crummy tips?! ;) and defo can recommend the Freaq, it’s a lot of fun
Awesome!
Thanks for showing Crum Drum out I want that thing so bad but afraid about the soldering process
They are available as pre-built units on Thonk as well! :)

@@mylarmelodies Thank you so much for the reply!
Love the outro jam!

No no no. Anyone can solder, have a go!
+1000. Made a vid on this 7(!) years ago and still stand by it ruclips.net/video/9g2Q0esgBuk/видео.html

Jeeeeepers the FREAQ FM sounds wild 😍 I'd love to pair that with the TR-8S 🔥
You read my mind, been thinking I might pair up the TR8 (haven't got an S!) and add some trad XOX to these and record the results...!
@@mylarmelodies Oooff, filthy. I'd love to hear the results!
@hexial Gotta get a podcast done but will see what I can do
Aaaggghhhh I'd just closed the window I had open to get a freaq, and now this video shows up 🤣🤣🤣
I didn't want to alarm you but I was stood behind you the whole time. Might I say you look lovely today
Me too. Dooooo iiiiiiit 😂
@@wireheadinstruments I think you'll be pleased with the jam I just recorded - ooft!! Watch this space
looking forward to it @@mylarmelodies doof doof donk donk 😁
Great little machines. I'm looking to get something like this. Are there any other wierd generative little machines you'd add to the list?
some reccs in the comments but also Bastl Kastle is a good one! Dirtywave M8 on the higher end I think could be argued?!
After seeing your RUclips I really fancy a few FM to pair up with my Roland T-8 and S-1, I can't see a volume control on the FM am I right in thinking I'd need a mixer to hook the sound up?
i would buy this album
Fuelling the GAS, bet I couldn’t make it sound as good as you!
I didn’t have long with these!! If I can do it you can too 🙌
I built the FM and got it all almost working but can't trouble shoot and fix so sadly sits in a drawer
They’re priced in an extremely tempting way 😬
cool

Embrace the Kaos.
What is wrong with your swear finger??
Broke it flipping the bird too much (cut it finishing the studio!!)
@@mylarmelodies LOL at the first part, ouch for the second.
Sounds like poop but its ok for a gimmick
Don’t let old John Chowning hear you say that, he’ll have your guts for garters
Even the Prince of Persia needs to poop sometimes. 😊
To me this would get boring after a short while
