People: "I hate the keys on the Microfreak." Me: "That makes sense. It's definitely not built for traditional keyboard playing. Can you play piano or keyboard?" People: "No."
Some early synthesizer pioneers were totally against synths having piano keyboards, because it already taints our perception of what the thing is… what it's for… how to use it. We take it for granted that _all_ keyboard players understand and like using synths. That wasn't the case at first. Many 70's players saw it as an expensive alien box, disguised as an electric organ. More abstract controls might be cool, but no other interface style has gained traction. Maybe that could change with the new MPE controllers…
Logic Pro X 10 debuted in 2013 for $199 on the Mac and has had Free updates for over 10 years with no new charges, So I'm not mad at the $50 a year to use my iPad on the go. Logic 5 platinum was the first one I bought and it was $1400 for just the DAW and Logic 6 came out 2 years later for $1200 so if you are mad at $50 a year then you are too young to remember how much this software use to cost!!
I used a cracked version 4.8. Liked it and bought 5, hugely expensive and came with a big box of user manuals, then bought it for £199 when emagic sold it to Apple. I don’t mind paying, but I don’t do subscriptions. I would have bought a new iPad if they hadn’t gone down this road.
i was hyped to see logic come to ipad not because i use logic i don't even use apple products at all but i am super into mobile daws for no reason lol (i don't use them at all) but i just like em for some reason BUT the fact its subscription based really made my love for it go out the window
@@bobsmith12345 After years of playing with FL/Cool Edit/Acid, Logic was the first DAW that I ever made anything worthwhile in. Then Apple bought it and killed the non-Mac versions. And the rest is misery…
For real. I’ve been an iPad Stan since the first mini came out and a proper full fledged daw has always been the last hurdle for me when leaving laptops behind for good. Logic is an exciting development for me, although I’d be over the moon if ableton made a proper port.
I generally don't like subscription services, but Komplete Now is an exception. It's reasonably priced ($10/month) it has some of the best NI instruments and effects, and they constantly add more instruments to it.
Proud to say that I'm 100% TE-free. They're right on up there on the "pointlessly trendy" shelf, right next to the long-promised yet vaguely -physically-missing Korg 2600 FS and Behringer's 738,204 various pieces of vaporware. Oh, and whatever expensive AF derivation of the Motif Yamaha's about to squeeze out at the latest NAMM while a CS-80 sits over in the corner, reminding everyone of when Yamaha used to make some damn serious electronic music gear. Just keep that in mind the next time someone tries to sell you a new Yammy MODXSXOP-88 Mk II AWM retread for $3k+. I could go on, but I feel the need to bash my head against a wall. Several times.
As a Microfreak owner, amongst other hardware, it's insane the level of development they bring to the table. And regarding the keyboard, it works surprisingly well and intuitive. Don't let it hold you back in getting one.
@Weaverbeats if you have any elektron gear, my buddy, EZBOT, and I are 3d printing riser stands for them over at Modbang. If that sounds interesting to ya, lets make something happen :)
"United the sonic richness of real physically vibrating bodies with electronic control" - I think Korg is trying to achieve analog warmth by creating a musical sexbot.
The main thing stopping me from getting a microfreak is the keys. I played a demo with some nice midi keys (semi weighted) and it was amazing, ultimate lead machine.
I don’t know why you would want to produce on an ipad since you can just use a laptop…with more performance, a trackpad, keyboard, and very similar in size. Not only that, a laptop is way easier to work on…I don’t get it. I only use tablets for ebooks and streaming videos. Now, if they made this logic pro software available on an iPhone…that would be a much different conversation we’re having. That would be dope
I have a desktop and an iPad Pro, no laptop. Trackpads and bluetooth keyboards work on iPads, and the apple announcement said that Final Cut would have the same shortcuts as the desktop, so keyboard support for Logic wouldn't be out of question. I've tried a few other DAWS on iPad and they all suck, the only decent one imo is GarageBand. I'm actually stoked for this. Literally drawing automation curves with the Apple Pencil is what sold me. There are also some really cheap/free Auv3's in the App Store that as far as I can tell don't have a VST alternative. I've also seen a lot of ports of desktop VSTs on the App Store. Sad to say they'll probably get my $5 a month, Sorry for the fanboying
@@wyatt199x3 Ahh but what you have right there, the iPad pro, is already kind of like a laptop 😂 okay I can see the appeal now. It is probably targeted at the ipad pro people, which makes sense. And as you said it should be pretty fun to draw automations with the pen and still have access to the keyboard and mouse functions. That should make for an interesting workflow. As for the auv3 stuff I have a bunch of it on my iphone and yeah they’re getting better and better! If you haven’t already, look up Drambo and AUM for ios. They’re not like a traditional daw(drambo is closer to it) but they’re still viable and fun options for mobile production!
The basic difference between subscription of streaming services like Netflix and subscription of music production software/plugins is that we don’t earn money through Netflix; but we do from software/plugins. So basically us having to pay monthly for something that gets you money and lose access to everything if you don’t is not very promising. Also, subscription is a trap to lock you into an ecosystem and to never let you explore others.
It seems like TE could take some cues from Arturia and the Micro Freak… Less expensive and feature packed, instead of extremely expensive and having basic features of 10-15 year old hardware
Subscription models suck so much!! I agree some subscriptions make sense, but slowly evolving software should be purchasable outright. I use Logic Pro X, but Apple can do one if they think i’m subscribing to Logic Pro on iPad. I don’t have an iPad tho anyway
I'm loving my Minifreak. It's just so smooth, the buttons, keys and sound. The keys feel much better than their minilab and keylab lines. It's great to be able to make all these sounds without being infront of the computer then just sync it with your DAW. Arturia gives you Minifreak VST free and it takes like 5 seconds to sync and you can use all the sounds you made. The only downside I have with it is that it needs A/C connection to power on, even if you have USB connected. ~y arturia it's 2023~
Next thing Teenage Engineering needs to do make is a video recorder, so i could film myself flipping over their desk, and capturing the audio with their microphone. Massive irony sandwich 🥪
advancer plugin would work great if it can go back a bit more in miliseconds for lets say you have a kontakt library flute for example running on one track ok. Your legato and short staccato notes have different offsets.. i duno if you can do this in your DAW. But I can add plugin fx to single midi items. So basically I could put a split where needed to make midi items cut up and then place this plugin to get exact offset times. This is if i was using that flute and keyswitching , either that or you gotta put on the metronome and drag the notes back all zoomed in using nudge till it sound right, which is not really that hard to do.. A lot of Kontakt sample libraries like Brass, Woodwinds, Strings, anything recorded with real instruments, usually has a little offset in the samples, anywhere from 60ms to 250ms. Some companies provide a PDF file when you get the kontakt library it is in the folders you downloaded. A lot of ppl don't know this and do not read them. A lot of companies give you their offset times in these PDF files. Cinematic Studio Series specifically give all their offset times. They are a great company, all their libraries just work together right out of the box cuz they all recorded in the same place. The kontakt interface is nice and easy to use too for all their stuff. Big fan of that company, anyway, I can rant about DAW stuff forever.
Glad I can use logic on my A12x iPad Pro. I might finally buy the Apple Pencil if it’s stable enough - would be excellent for precise automation, or sample cuts.
Teenage Engineering = the Balenciaga of electronic music. Seriously, tho...the touchplate keyboard on the Microfreak is actually a pretty old concept, dating all the way back to Don Buchla and the first system he built for the San Francisco Tape Music Center c. 1963. The idea is that you can get a lot of signals out of human control if you're willing to use them. Regular keyboards give you on, off, and note#. Touchplates, however, can give you loads of minute changes to route all over for extra uses; the Microfreak touchplates can actually do very involved expression work, including the coveted polyphonic aftertouch. But you do need to get used to them. A couple of tips: 1) wash your hands prior to playing the Microfreak. This helps to make sure that the touch responses are pretty uniform each time you use it. 2) Don't play the Microfreak when physically stressed, like after running or a workout. Again, this will result in inconsistent controller behavior from your physiological state affecting the controller response. And... 3) Touchplates are NOT keyboards. Instead, if you deal with them on their own terms, you wind up with a controller that can boggle the mind from its responsiveness...but playing it like a black-n-white means you're just scratching the surface. Try doing some shit that piano instructors go into conniption fits over...the potential rewards are there, 100%. So what about that new $750 Teenage Engineering Slinky? Generic transducer and contact mic from AliExpress + metal slinky...cost around $20 but the TE boxes and logos and crap add another...uhhh...$730. Yeah. Next up from the Supreme of electronic music: the Teenage Engineering TE-W2!!! It looks like an ordinary 2-meter 1/4" cable...and it IS! Only $299!!! Sure, you can get the same damn thing on Amazon for $1.98, but we've added...OUR LOGO!!! This of course necessitates the increased cost as the present-day TE logo demands that minor pricing premium...so, the extra $297.02 of course MUST be charged because...TEENAGE ENGINEERING!!! WOOOOO!!! Meh.
@@Weaverbeats It actually has less features than some defaults for daws as far as I can tell tbh. Ableton goes back 1000ms, but also in samples. Just press the tiny little D to the right on your master track to open it up. No need to insert a VST and everything. Cubase has it too. But I'm not sure what the max is. Can't be bothered to open it up for a youtube comment too tbh. But yeah, plugin is pretty much just a default DAW feature. There's plugins that do sample alligned stuff, but you can just dump em on all tracks and it'll automatically do it too. So even for the niche applications it's just... not as good as what already exists.
In GarageBand iOS, they consistently added new sound/instrument packs every 2-3 months, and I assume they’ll bring that over to logic for iPad but the subscription only still sucks
kinda cute that you haven't heard of negative delay before :3 just kidding. i know that it's not relevant to most beatmakers, but just so you know this is a widely used technique when mixing rock music. drums, bass, guitars, it is used everywhere. cause you always have a lot of mics recording the same thing and then you mix them together and try to phase align them. and well, you sometimes have to shift things forwards or backwards in time for that. not by an amount of ms that you can hear, sometimes not even 1ms, but just a few samples. it makes a huge difference. If you're interested in seeing that in action I made a stream lately called "Mixing Stream [Darien Geep]"
@@Weaverbeats yeah most DAWs have a track delay feature. i was surprised why bitwig doesn't have one, but its time shift tool is good too. why would anyone need a dedicated plugin for those micro delays, is the real question. i'd personally say that there's some potential in them auto-phase aligning 2 signals with each other and stuff like that. i couldn't ever get such features to produce consistently good results yet though
not necessarily defending apple, BUT.... they're always updating the app with a ton of features and even sounds (on the Mac ), so im assuming iPad version will follow suit
Logic on iPad has no appeal to me whatsoever, if it does to someone else that’s cool. I just hope that the already lacklustre, far and few in-between updates for ‘proper’ Logic don’t become even more far and few in-between now they have a new thing to sell. Subscription is also whack.
The worrying thing about logic being sub only is you can never 'park' it on an ipad. Unlike those music apps from 10 years ago that people still use on a gen 1 pad
I started making beats on GarageBand and it’s kind of scummy for apple to even charge a subscription service for something that’s free on damn near any other device that can run it.
N.1 Absolutely NOT to subbed software.. N.2 The TP-7 is a lovely piece of minimalist art....$1.499 ?!?!? NOPE Everything I need for field recording, I can get in a $400 Zoom...For a little more I could have a decent and even more lovely looking NAGRA. N.3 I much prefer an Ibanez S body design.....N.4...now I'm hungry for guitar pasta, with a side of GAKKEN Mk II!
The problem I have with that Teenage Engineering recorder, and their microphone, is I have no faith in them as an audio hardware company. I wouldn't assume it's any better than my 10-year-old Olympus recorder much less any of the current Zoom or Tascam models that cost $1000 less.
As soon as I saw the announcement for the recorder I knew there would be a video of you shitting on it. I’m getting on my soapbox. If you think that Teenage Engineering products are overpriced, you don’t understand design or how unique the capabilities of thier products are. Thier products flexibility are unmatched. There are no products that match the capabilities of any TE products period. (Except for the desk…for now.) Here’s a video idea @weaverbeats Try to put together a setup that has the same capabilities as the field system. You can’t, but it’s an interesting exercise that will show you where you’re ignorant. Be curious if you don’t understand. You might learn.
Teenage Engineering does this stuff to draw attention to their design services. They do design work for several other brands and are obviously not going after the pro audio market. They have a whole line of electronics products at IKEA, for example.
Should have been an Analog heat software update, you could pay for. Waste of space in their hardware space, there next product could have just been ‘ HYBRID FX ‘ focused on the Analog/Digital FX extending the Analog heat heritage instead .
I mean i dont use Logic, i'm a Cubase cat. But 50$ a year to have Alchemy on my iPad Pro that's just a bargain. And we not talking about all the Logic instruments who are REALLY great. So yeah!
Everything with the name Teenage Engineering on it is a rip of. About Logic. Functionality is added all the time, at least for the desktop version. I suspect they use a subscription for the iPad because no one is going to pay $200+ for it. The subscription price seems fair, but I don’t like subscriptions. Next to that I can’t use my Mac plugins on it, making it useless for me. For recording I can just as well use ( the free ) GarageBand on the iPad.
Why do companies and artists release products with "wholesome" thoughts of wanting everyone to experience the gear but have it be expensive asf😂 it just seems like the exact opposite of wanting everyone to experience it.
You don't use logic so I should tell you that they've updated a ton!!! since I bought it 7 years ago with no paid upgrades. new samplers. new synths. added a step sequencer that can export to midi. updated the bit depth of the bus system. one of the best $250 I ever spent.
mascine has had midi output forever. logic I use like a tape recorder. I'm mostly hardware. midi isn't cv. I was just saying the logic samplers are damn good.
@@user-lp9qj7ul1g Logic is like the same price as FL and Cheaper than Ableton, and the UI & stock plugins don't look like they're designed designed by a Forrest Gump type. Also it's pretty much always been able to export midi, bro said the STEP SEQUENCER now exports midi. It does not surprise me that someone that uses so many emojis has the reading comprehension of a medieval farmer. Please let me know how the FL mobile experience is, I'll go to your funeral when you sudoku yourself after you realize its as intuitive as banging ur mom

It's not like it's a staple from older vinatage synths (e.g. Buchla, Wasp, synthi). We had this shit before you were born XD
Just put buttons on it then. It'll take up less space that way, and those of us who do play keys can just keep using the controllers we like.

Touch plates are just a different interface that you utilize differently. They have their benefit despite keyboard players dissent.

But you do need to get used to them. A couple of tips:
1) wash your hands prior to playing the Microfreak. This helps to make sure that the touch responses are pretty uniform each time you use it.
2) Don't play the Microfreak when physically stressed, like after running or a workout. Again, this will result in inconsistent controller behavior from your physiological state affecting the controller response. And...
3) Touchplates are NOT keyboards. Instead, if you deal with them on their own terms, you wind up with a controller that can boggle the mind from its responsiveness...but playing it like a black-n-white means you're just scratching the surface. Try doing some shit that piano instructors go into conniption fits over...the potential rewards are there, 100%.
So what about that new $750 Teenage Engineering Slinky? Generic transducer and contact mic from AliExpress + metal slinky...cost around $20 but the TE boxes and logos and crap add another...uhhh...$730. Yeah. Next up from the Supreme of electronic music: the Teenage Engineering TE-W2!!! It looks like an ordinary 2-meter 1/4" cable...and it IS! Only $299!!! Sure, you can get the same damn thing on Amazon for $1.98, but we've added...OUR LOGO!!! This of course necessitates the increased cost as the present-day TE logo demands that minor pricing premium...so, the extra $297.02 of course MUST be charged because...TEENAGE ENGINEERING!!! WOOOOO!!!
Meh.
I already have a Microfreak and love it... But a limited edition space themed microfreak? Yes please!!!!
My boss is perfectly fine
The Teenage Eng. recorder looks like a 1st get iPod and a PS1 had a baby! LOL🤣
@ the advancer plugin...
Doesn't every daw have that as a default feature????
Has more features than that. Is it a software I remotely care about? No
@@Weaverbeats It actually has less features than some defaults for daws as far as I can tell tbh.
Ableton goes back 1000ms, but also in samples. Just press the tiny little D to the right on your master track to open it up. No need to insert a VST and everything.
Cubase has it too. But I'm not sure what the max is. Can't be bothered to open it up for a youtube comment too tbh.
But yeah, plugin is pretty much just a default DAW feature. There's plugins that do sample alligned stuff, but you can just dump em on all tracks and it'll automatically do it too. So even for the niche applications it's just... not as good as what already exists.
In GarageBand iOS, they consistently added new sound/instrument packs every 2-3 months, and I assume they’ll bring that over to logic for iPad but the subscription only still sucks
dropped a like , cant wait for my boss to get dealt with
My boss is perfectly fine.
Wait! I don't even have a boss!
3:49 You can't die on us; you don't have a massive hating ward/prodigy to learn your ways yet!
kinda cute that you haven't heard of negative delay before :3 just kidding. i know that it's not relevant to most beatmakers, but just so you know this is a widely used technique when mixing rock music. drums, bass, guitars, it is used everywhere. cause you always have a lot of mics recording the same thing and then you mix them together and try to phase align them. and well, you sometimes have to shift things forwards or backwards in time for that. not by an amount of ms that you can hear, sometimes not even 1ms, but just a few samples. it makes a huge difference. If you're interested in seeing that in action I made a stream lately called "Mixing Stream [Darien Geep]"
Actually I have used negative delay quite a bit, ableton has a feature for it. I haven't ever used a plugin that does it though.
@@Weaverbeats yeah most DAWs have a track delay feature. i was surprised why bitwig doesn't have one, but its time shift tool is good too. why would anyone need a dedicated plugin for those micro delays, is the real question. i'd personally say that there's some potential in them auto-phase aligning 2 signals with each other and stuff like that. i couldn't ever get such features to produce consistently good results yet though
My boss is perfectly fine...and she can take you...
Every day I tend to go back to analogue. More quality and I feel less of a burden for not paying monthly for a plugin.
Hey.. You open that mail from Unison Audio. They are the grandfathers of Analog Warmth. Passive Hater.
If you wanna start having fun with hardware synth Microfreak is a way to go, bang for a buck!
My boss is perfectly fine, do something about it 😅
Do review if you buy the microfreak
Subscription? Hard pass. To be fair, Logic does include new conent frequently.
someone get this man a microfreak
That Udo synth looks very reminiscent to an Oberheim 🤔
not necessarily defending apple, BUT.... they're always updating the app with a ton of features and even sounds (on the Mac ), so im assuming iPad version will follow suit
fair enough
Logic on iPad has no appeal to me whatsoever, if it does to someone else that’s cool. I just hope that the already lacklustre, far and few in-between updates for ‘proper’ Logic don’t become even more far and few in-between now they have a new thing to sell. Subscription is also whack.
So is the clipper trash?
My boss is perfectly unfine
The worrying thing about logic being sub only is you can never 'park' it on an ipad.
Unlike those music apps from 10 years ago that people still use on a gen 1 pad
I started making beats on GarageBand and it’s kind of scummy for apple to even charge a subscription service for something that’s free on damn near any other device that can run it.
N.1 Absolutely NOT to subbed software.. N.2 The TP-7 is a lovely piece of minimalist art....$1.499 ?!?!? NOPE Everything I need for field recording, I can get in a $400 Zoom...For a little more I could have a decent and even more lovely looking NAGRA. N.3 I much prefer an Ibanez S body design.....N.4...now I'm hungry for guitar pasta, with a side of GAKKEN Mk II!
my boss is perfectly fine
Bitwig FINALLY ADDED MSEGGG!!!! N I LOVE IT!! MODULATED MEOWS!!!! 😺💖😺💖
Teenage Engineering makes great stuff
My boss is perfectly fine.
I would unironically watch the shit out of you reviewing hardware
The problem I have with that Teenage Engineering recorder, and their microphone, is I have no faith in them as an audio hardware company. I wouldn't assume it's any better than my 10-year-old Olympus recorder much less any of the current Zoom or Tascam models that cost $1000 less.
If my boss saw you, she would invite you to see the back seat of her car. 😎
My boss isn't totally fine😂
As soon as I saw the announcement for the recorder I knew there would be a video of you shitting on it.
I’m getting on my soapbox.
If you think that Teenage Engineering products are overpriced, you don’t understand design or how unique the capabilities of thier products are.
Thier products flexibility are unmatched.
There are no products that match the capabilities of any TE products period. (Except for the desk…for now.)
Here’s a video idea @weaverbeats
Try to put together a setup that has the same capabilities as the field system.
You can’t, but it’s an interesting exercise that will show you where you’re ignorant.
Be curious if you don’t understand.
You might learn.
i used to have "IT".
then they changed what "IT" was.
now, i don't know what "IT" IS! 🤷♂️😂
Teenage Engineering does this stuff to draw attention to their design services. They do design work for several other brands and are obviously not going after the pro audio market. They have a whole line of electronics products at IKEA, for example.
my boss is completely fine... (I wasn't told to say this)
TE is a meme company at this point.
Dude please don't fight my boss. He's a super cool dude. Also he's jacked like a moose. I wouldn't want let my worst enemy fight him.
Should have been an Analog heat software update, you could pay for. Waste of space in their hardware space, there next product could have just been ‘ HYBRID FX ‘ focused on the Analog/Digital FX extending the Analog heat heritage instead .
I mean i dont use Logic, i'm a Cubase cat. But 50$ a year to have Alchemy on my iPad Pro that's just a bargain. And we not talking about all the Logic instruments who are REALLY great. So yeah!
why a subscription it is a one time payement on os, there is no reason for it to be a subscription. it is the same processor behind it
That nose scratching, very subtle? (body lenguage of someone who's lying lol)
Or the body language of someone with allergies
Seems I got some mail from Unison Audio... (chunk that sh**) 😂😂😂😂
Parking garage looksinteresting
The way Apple treat their users, if I won an iPad I'd smash it before using it.
Logic is just REAPER with a mac skin change my mind Also a guitar with fuzz, kinda already been done before. Also tonewood is a lie.
Still no true 32bit floating point headroom in Logic Pro, in the year of 20-fucking-23.
Methodist synthesist? Huh… so I’d be a Protestant synthesis also?
where's my goodnight kisses dawg?!?!?!?!?
I like the humour, keep it up…
Everything with the name Teenage Engineering on it is a rip of. About Logic. Functionality is added all the time, at least for the desktop version. I suspect they use a subscription for the iPad because no one is going to pay $200+ for it. The subscription price seems fair, but I don’t like subscriptions. Next to that I can’t use my Mac plugins on it, making it useless for me. For recording I can just as well use ( the free ) GarageBand on the iPad.
Why do companies and artists release products with "wholesome" thoughts of wanting everyone to experience the gear but have it be expensive asf😂 it just seems like the exact opposite of wanting everyone to experience it.
Is music just an excuse for consumerism.....🤠
yes
My boss is perfectly fine 😔
You don't use logic so I should tell you that they've updated a ton!!! since I bought it 7 years ago with no paid upgrades. new samplers. new synths. added a step sequencer that can export to midi. updated the bit depth of the bus system. one of the best $250 I ever spent.
Wow, they have an export to midi option?? 😮 It's almost like fl or ableton!.. But 15 years late 😂
mascine has had midi output forever. logic I use like a tape recorder. I'm mostly hardware. midi isn't cv.
I was just saying the logic samplers are damn good.
@@user-lp9qj7ul1g Logic is like the same price as FL and Cheaper than Ableton, and the UI & stock plugins don't look like they're designed designed by a Forrest Gump type. Also it's pretty much always been able to export midi, bro said the STEP SEQUENCER now exports midi. It does not surprise me that someone that uses so many emojis has the reading comprehension of a medieval farmer. Please let me know how the FL mobile experience is, I'll go to your funeral when you sudoku yourself after you realize its as intuitive as banging ur mom
What’s dumb is they’re showing people use Logic on iPad in a studio setting. That’s not how 99% of people are going to use it.
Teenage engineering is the unison of hardware.
music production on iphone is best on garageband bc it’s pretty deep and FUCKING FREE!!!!!
in this one we can see a snippet of the next season where the massive hater slowly descends into hardware GAS madness
