Lovely synth - good to see you using gear like this and the recent Waldorf synths - bringing your unique flavour to this contemporary world of synthesizers!
First time I've actually seen music being played on a Vector synth rather than just bleeps & bleeps. Extraordinary synth. It's amazing what a Raspberry Pi can be made to do
It's 2 overtone generators, plus amplitude modulation and/or phase modulation, and then flexible filters. Then it's vector synthesis - you put one of those synthesis blocks in each corner of the screen, and then the moving dots on screen describe the moment-to-moment blend between those 4 synthesis blocks. As said above, there are no wavetables or samples involved. It seems like the overtone generators can make the basic analog wave shapes. Still, the end result often has that glassy icy, with lots of movement, sound that people associate with wavetables being modulated. Sometimes it has that organ-y sound that people associate with additive (stacking overtones) synths, which makes sense considering it does that. Fred's Lab Manatee stacks overtones and looking at some comments under their videos, I think people assume that has wavetables too, even though it doesn't.
Looks a lot gadgety/novelty but once you delve into the pdf manual (amazingly clear and accessible for such a powerful machine), everything becomes perfectly logic and almost self explanatory. And quite surprisingly, there's almost no menu diving: each switch or encoder has just one or two functions. Another feat!👍 PS: a video output (with just the orbiter and/or wave signal) or even better a digital converter with dmx interface to drive a laser would be definitely a most interesting bonus...
Has anyone else noticed, this thing looks a bit like one of those 3d mockups they make to sell virtual instruments? Every-time I see it I have to remind myself that it isn't software I don't mean that in a disparaging way, its very cool in fact. And interesting to think that plugin aesthetics are influencing hardware designs!
People get so caught up in vintage analog synthesisers they actually forget on many levels they are limited compared to a box like this. This goes way beyond anything any analog synth can do. By far. Like Roland's VSynth for example. Its way more intelligent than anything that came before it by far. And there are so many software instruments out there too that go way beyond a standard analog synth. Its exciting actually. Some very interesting synths are coming out now.
@@ZenMountain Yes they are for sure and they force you to go deeper into things. But at some point if you are trying to make a very complex sound you just wont get there with an analog synth using normal architecture. You need something much more complex and interesting. And thats the time to turn to a more complex instrument. The idea is to have both things and use them both. Balance things. Like Edgar Froese in Tangerine Dream. They use a lot of analog sounds but spice things up big time with some very deep and complex synths.
There is no such thing as the best synth at all. Its a pipe dream to even think so. No matter how good you think a synth may be there will always be another synth that can produce sounds that your best synth cannot even dream of. I think you need a few synths. But not 30 or more like many people have. Its silly have 6 analog synths all of the same architecture design. Sure there are some slight sonic signatures going on but overall they all do the same thing. Its just as effective using one or two analog synths in 10 different ways than to have 10 analog synths.
I love watching you jam out and experiment with these machines. often times, i close my eyes and listen, when i open them again i find i was making the same face you are.
I love synthesizers that are so friendly and inviting to experimentation that you can't stay away from it, like a man in love. 😄 It doesn't sound much different to other synthesizers but the great USABILITY also adds to its USEFULNESS! Have fun Dr. Mix! 🙂👋
thanks very much for a great vid - love your studio btw. I have just bought a vector and awaiting delivery. Your exploration of it has made me very enthusiastic about its capabilities.
it's a modulation path :/ from the demo and info page review, it doesn't appear as if the oscillators themselves are anything to write home about. i was watching to see if someone had done a hardware multidimensional oscillator (like me, smashed transistors, or soundemote).
Right at about 18 seconds in, I'm wondering if I could hook up my MODX to the vector and then move the Super knob to migrate from the Vector to the MODX Electric Piano sounds, love that transition you did.
Most of those sounds were very "same-ey", over-complex swirly sounds with limited musicality. I don't think you really did justice to the synth in this video, which is fair enough considering how complex and unusual the interface is. It would be nice to see a follow up video once you know the synth better, where you can demonstrate some good bass sounds, chords, lead sounds etc. 🙂
I was hesitant because there are very few videos showcasing what this thing can do sonically, and I'm not talking about ambient. There's 100 videos of boring ambient shit out there on this synth. 5 minutes in, I got a nice growly aggressive bass tone. So I turned it off and made some oak cheeks for it, since it's a keeper. This video above is basically the same as all the rest of them, showcasing mostly presets. It's capable of a lot more. I'll be back in 6 months when I figure out the matrix.
@@pepejul modulation path, not oscillator. :/ here's what it could have been (i made the 3d osc, someone else made the visualiser, i didn't have a clue what it looked like, just for the sound) ruclips.net/video/kzIA45Qyh_c/видео.html
Wow the synth is very responsive to the touch I’m very impressed amazing one of the most futuristic ones I would say of the moment. Enjoy take care . ❤️ x
That display looks like what screens showed in alien starships in early 70ies scifi-movies: Lots of completely useless Lissajous curves. How about an upgrade with an built in dry ice fog machine? Soundwise I'm not that impressed.
i know i'm overposting this, but, wouldn't you? 3d rotation oscillator (the oscillator was coded with no consideration for visual appearance, which was a happy accident as soudemote was in the middle of prettyscope) ruclips.net/video/kzIA45Qyh_c/видео.html while the world looks away
The sounds are cool, realy, but this screen with such a lot of nice little colorfull moving things (meaningless for me so far) is quite disturbing. Like a "graphic digital equlizzzzzer" of the late 80s.
The graphic on the screen actually makes a lot of sense once you understand it. It's simply showing you the path and orbit of each voice. That's how vector synthesis works: i.e. you choose the waveform that resides in each corner, then customize how you want each voice to navigate between those waveforms (path) and deviate from that path (orbit). You can also choose the rate at which that happens, and many other parameters. Very powerful stuff. This is a very well-designed and capable synth. Cheers!
all the new tech etc .. I am still distracted by the fact I liked your old chesterfield settee more than your "new one" it's the little things ! 'specially when you show "vinatage "

I really loved your video on this. Smelling the synth is brilliant.
The MAGIC is always between the chair and the keyboard... 😉
100%
that's basically a kind of Animoog in hardware format with huge polyphonic and functional implementations, love it!!!
Just the fact that he is controlling the Vector with a Jupiter is such a huge flex ngl😂

It s a promotional video...for now !

It's what happens when a REAL musician puts his hands on an instrument.
RMR and Benn Jordan are "real" musicians too, and made good videos.
The Wave Table mainly makes sense when you're on hallucinogens!
And absolutely none at all when you're stoned :)
thats not wavetable

Love the video! You should do a 1 year review and thoughts on your studio build. SO FREKIN COOL!
That's just brilliant, isn't it? You could play with it for a week and never remember to record anything!

By that logic, no synth would be the best synth.

Very Philip Glass towards the end - very cool. The ambiento guys would've loved this in the '90s :)
wow 400 bucks, I'll have one. second look: just a deposit. wow, I'll have none lol
Yeah at just over $900 (777 euros) I don’t know….
If it was $400 it would have been an easy decision
I love watching you jam out and experiment with these machines. often times, i close my eyes and listen, when i open them again i find i was making the same face you are.
What you're looking at here sirs and madams is the pure nexus of the landscape of sound and music generation.

I have no idea what that thing is but it sounds GREAT!! It’s like an Animoog on steroids!
Instant Jean Michel Jarre 😁 what a great little synth. Honestly loved the way you played with this.👍
Claudio, @0:47 you should extend your doorbell to play the complete Wings “Let ‘em In” song.
thanks very much for a great vid - love your studio btw. I have just bought a vector and awaiting delivery. Your exploration of it has made me very enthusiastic about its capabilities.
2:45 It's a sin, sine curve, e.g. sin[2(x+π)] on the y-axis against sin(x) on the x-axis in an xy plot🤨
Hey David, wath do you mean, with your expose? 😊🤔
it's a modulation path :/
from the demo and info page review, it doesn't appear as if the oscillators themselves are anything to write home about. i was watching to see if someone had done a hardware multidimensional oscillator (like me, smashed transistors, or soundemote).
whoa, amazing stuff!!! :) lovely! phat warm rich oscilliators and nice playing :) much want on this one yes
Hello Claudio. Thx for video.
I'm glad, that it happend and you've made video with synth which produce my friend .
Now it's time for the new Stranger thinks soundtrack produced by Claudio 👌
"Without a joystick, it isn't a vector synth" Sincerely yours - Prophet VS / Korg Wavestation
In my playlist Keyboards & C. !!! Greeat Claudio
Gotta smell a new synth 👏🏾👏🏾😂
From 9:45 would make an awesome backing track with some D&B. Might just go and sample that....
roland cloud reacently released the TR-EDITOR would you be able to check it out?
insane machine! Bravo Doctor mix :)
Right at about 18 seconds in, I'm wondering if I could hook up my MODX to the vector and then move the Super knob to migrate from the Vector to the MODX Electric Piano sounds, love that transition you did.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice Video! I love your videos!
Modern,Fantastisch.The sound and shape reminds me a little bit of a refx Nexus (VstInstruments)
@5:25 should be called 'SPECTOR' :D ... Very nice machine!
Hey Doctor Mix, I don't know if intentional or not, but your doorbell sounds like the start of Paul McCartney/Wings's 'Let 'Em In'.
There is that Jupiter X again. Your using it as a controller again. We need a Jupiter X part two!!!
Show us the beast!!!!!!
The most important is the sound, not the screen graphic animation
Exactly
What an incredible machine
I need this little blue box
That looks crazy. Fun fun fun.
Cool boxes fella.
Which software synth (vst) / plugin would you recommend that comes near to this synth :D?
Thanks Claudio.
EXCELENTE _DOC MIX_ .

Smells good 😂👍 You are funny . Greetings from Germany. 😎 👍
Fantastic machine! Btw I see you using the jupiter-x a lot. Is it your go to these days?
Funny to see your mind get blown, great sounds! !
What’s this type of synth without a keyboard called? I’m having a hard time googling for other stuff like this.
A desktop.
Nice instrument , thanks
Now we only have to put this in front of the keyboard and build a starship around it. 🚀
Welcome to the world of jean michel jarre and some serious physcedelia
That display😳
is there a plug-in that does a similar job as this in/for Logic Pro?
There have been some VSTs that go someway towards this such as Vecto
@@sodiumlights Rob Papen's Vecto has similar features

Reminds me of Rob Papen's Go synth...
Looks interesting
Most impressive sound effects! I mean... roughly here... 1:13
Sniffing the synth... you know you want to. You know you have.
That's crazy
1:17 like a kid in christmas
like generating a software "vst" in hardware
Wow!
10.45 sounds like some Van Halen music
U're maad 4 synths 😁

It’s got almost as many features as Dr. mix has finger rings. Almost.
