      I know this is an ancient comment.... but what synth is in your profile pic? It looks a bit like my multivox mx 450.

      Truly! I'm wearing Beyerdynamic T90 headphones on a DacMagic XS v2 and even with the bad sound quality of 360p resolution, it sounds like the stuff is happening in my room! God bless! =)

  • @joninio6542
    @joninio6542 4 года назад +1

    I know I'm 2 years late - but I just ordered my MB2S. This is gorgeous. No wonder the pedal costs more than the synth. Nice one Nick, as ever.

    I think this is the best Nick magic I have yet seen. The Mini 2 sounds beautiful even soulful in your hands. Certainly Arturia have done it again...the incredible Matrix Brute and then this...These are Masterpieces that w I'll stand the test of time I think. I am going to start selling stuff to get the Sequencer version.. I liked the pedal too.

  • @Deeplycloseted435
    @Deeplycloseted435 6 лет назад +4

    So many GREAT reverb pedals now. And so many that accept line level. Just checked the specs on this and the input can handle +6.54 dBV = 8.76 dBu, plenty of headroom. This, the Empress Reverb, the Boss RV-500.....Eventide and Strymon finally have some competition.

    • @fray3dendsofsanity
      @fray3dendsofsanity 6 лет назад +1

      Check out Meris Mercury 7. Even better than most of those. Definitely beats the Big Sky in terms of sound

  • @Diddyvids
    @Diddyvids 6 лет назад +2

    Top Session! These sessions make me think / reflect more than anything else on what I'm doing or more importantly, not... I am interested to watch how Nick navigates the controls, anticipating and modifying with a clear expectation of the results, a reminder that a deep understanding of the common building blocks of synthesis - and the power within - takes you a much longer way than just investing in another piece of hardware in order to drive the creative process. There were easily half a dozen quickly sketched ideas that were begging for more development, but again not needing the keyboard skills of a virtuoso and a rack full of gear. It's that accessibility that I think makes these so powerful. Cheers Nick!

    Think I said it before, but my Minibrute 1 probably needs to find a new home to make space for the 2. REALLY like the sound on this thing.

  • @dep1001

    Great demo and love the ambient drones and tones! I have the same setup, Ventris and Minibrute 2. Question: I'm trying to replicate what you did on this video. To create the pad or bed to play on-top, did you have to make some settings using the Neuro Desktop application?

  • @claytonlevibrown
    @claytonlevibrown 6 лет назад +1

    looks like you got some good psytrance going on there. noise later gets quite messy, but I can see how that first long note would be perfect to layer over the preceding idea.

  • @Flohr

  • @drawntothefire
    @drawntothefire 6 лет назад

    Cool stuff. Is the Minibrute going straight into the pedal, or are you attenuating the signal somehow to bring it down from line level to instrument level?

    @JammyGit 4 года назад

    Being a total newbie with synths, and looking at buying my first synth for primarily ambient & trippy music along the lines of The Orb, I think this might be the one I should buy.......Not only that, I've had Arturia's Analogue Lab for a while and quite like some of the sounds from their Pigments software, so if Arturia chuck me a few downloads as a sweetener it might just convince me to buy this synth 😎👍

  • @synthesizedchill8258
    @synthesizedchill8258 2 года назад

    I like the reverb, but I'm not sure if I like the cost. There's other companies with comparable pedals in the same price range that I would pick first. It's still a nice sounding pedal, though. I think I would get an Empress, Chase Bliss, or Hologram Electronics pedal first. I bet you could get some insane reverb, if you paired something like an Empress Reverb with one of these, and then ran it through something like Habits or Blooper. I'm sure it would get completely insane, which is what I prefer sometimes.

I love it but I can't figure out how to keep that frozen sound without remove my finger from the Option Switch... Could you tell me how do you only press it one and get it to continue like that ? Thanks in advance

    • @jrlx86
      @jrlx86 3 года назад

      Hi Simon, just checking this vid out too :) the Ventris can take mono in, and puts out stereo. This is quite common with Reverb and Delay pedals by the look of it! Good luck :)
