It's all fun until one of the oscillators snaps.
😂😂 IYKYK!!
I have no idea how you kept a straight face while recording this. I want the two hours of bloopers and outtakes
😂😂 LOL!
@@MidlifeSynthesist BLOOPERS PLEASE
Right ?! Lol
Seems like an interesting replacement for a TB-303.
😂
So, in 2045 we'll be buying original basses for £5k while Behringer pump out "Behsays" for £90?
Spot-on review. They won't be selling many of these. It doesn't even have patch recall!
😂😂😂 i forgot to mention that!! #nomorebass
I went to the Bass Pro Shop and I couldn't find those.
I have several of those electric bass instruments. A couple of them are extra weird because they have 5 voices instead of the common 4 voices. Most of mine come with more than two knobs and even a switch or two to modify the tone, plus I have some that even have two oscillators per voice! Also, I built an outboard modular system that I can control with my feet that gives my bass instruments far more range, voices, sounds and effects including a whole plethora of LFO effects. But what really gets my goat, is that with all this range and capabilities everyone still seems to want me to just "stay in my lane" (whatever that means?!) and produce common sterile electric bass tones! And worse yet, they only want me to play the chord roots and co-ordinate simple sequences with the drummer! These people have absolutely no imagination! Oh, and they also keep mentioning something about making people's butts shake, which I don't completely understand.
😂😂😂😂 this was excellent🙌🏻🙌🏻
If this were the first episode of a series, I would watch it. The tone of this is just right. Well done!
Lol! Thank you!!!
I’m just here for the comments 😁
😂😂😜 they’ve been awesome so far!
BLOWN AWAY! That was such a great idea for a video! I loved it!!! You have been one of my top 3 or 4 synthtubers for a long time but this was a WONDERFUL surprise to see something done in a completely new and unique way. It isn't just for laughs, either. It is also for our ego, because we know that synths are the best instruments there are and I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see this concept taken further. From now on, all instruments should be expected to live up to normal, modern expectations for SYNTHS! Suck on that, oboe!
My first synth was actually one of the offshoots of the prototype models, the "Double" or "Contra" bass. Super weird input methods on that; You could more easily reference sequences by writing or printing them out so the pathways didn't lose step, but you had to hold the FCOs vertically due to the size and shape of it, and it used this kind of hyper-analog exciter to FM the strings? That or you had to use 2 fingers per-string for a simple AD envelope. Oh and if you used long articulations you were reduced to duophony, and a 1/4" output was a PAID addon!! Insane!!
I just checked, and there's no Decksaver for it either. I don't take a synth seriously unless it has a Decksaver.
The plot thickens!!!
On startup, every oscillator needs to be manually tuned. On top of that, the oscillators often go out of tune while playing. For some reason, each one seems to tune completely independently, and can cause real headaches when performing live.
No oscillator sync is criminal!
Worse than that, their sound degrades over time and sometimes they flat out break. Just touching them with your fingers wears them out. Don't get me started about humidity!
‚I love that weird synth as is, no LFOs or sequencers. But it's hopelessly paraphonic. Pitch bending individual notes is cool though. Oh and you can boil the oscillators in water to change the waveform.
It’s the best!❤️❤️❤️ gotta try that boiled oscillator waveshaping!
4 voice polyphony only? For this size? Who would take this on the road?! Preposterous
Lol, I mean, it doesn’t even fit in my backpack!! What gives??
I bet this odd instrument is going straight to bad gear. excellent and refreshing stuff my friend.
Thanks so much for watching my friend!❤️❤️
3 weeks only? It took me 4 months to program this Hysteria sequence in my brain !
The sequence is still glitchy AF though😂 have to keep programming it😜
Sub 37 is definitely a better choice!
Always!
Entertaining April upload. Thank you. Lock picking lawyer sets the bar, but this tickles me still. 😂🎉
❤️❤️ happy you enjoyed it!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
As a bass player, I found this hilarious! Thank you for keeping it real.
That’s a pretty, passive Squier
Like always, great vid! Very entertaining!
I've got Bass Gas.
Bass GAS is Real and very powerful 🤩🤩
Me too man. Music is a hell of a drug.
I used to own one with a three knobs multimode filter that allows me to select LP, BP and HP, but unfortunately lacks a resonance knob. And also comes with pitch bend that can reach 2 semitones down (not up) on the lower "oscillator". (Ibanez SR3000)
I love this. Especially the part about the sequencer, and wishing it had an app. God I love basses.
What do you mean I can not play it with a mouse!? 😂 ….. or can’t I?
You finally explained why I only play one string on any polyphonytar - I like mono synths, haha
Random delete function! ❤
I just bought my first analog bass guitar synth a few days ago on Thomann . This video is right on time !!
waiting for it to be delivered 😍
It's a Squier ! I was told Fender released some pretty analog gear since the beginning.
As of the sequencer... well, I hope it comes with a complete User Guide 🤣
The sequencer is so over the top overcomplicated, I don't know what they were thinking! 😂
I think the problem with bass that I solved is that you need to be fretless. That's the answer my friend. After going fretless 25 years ago, I never had those problems again.
Hmmm… so you’re saying I should buy MORE basses?🤔 interesting
@@MidlifeSynthesistof course! The answer is always more basses! 😁
Brilliant😂❤️
I would love to hear your thoughts on the generative aspects of bass-sequencing.
Pro-tip: has great sustain when run through a pitch-to-midi or pitch-to-cv converter. Much better than a so-called "electric guitar."
I love that you pronounce the instrument's name correctly. I know several people who use these in their bands (must hate themselves) and call them "base".
Sounds like an ad for something Teenage Engineering would do - at 1/10th of the size and twice the price.
Re: MPE, don’t be afraid to try drumsticks or violin bows too. Pretty expressive imo…
As a bass player who took a synth/sampler detour for a bit, this is perfect in every way. Thank you for explaining this obscure instrument to the masses.
A great video on any day of the year!
❤️❤️🙌🏻
Very educational.
Have you ever heard of the drum set?
Like a Perkons?😜
Good tongue in cheek. One word to end the discussion - ARTICULATION. STRING- vs KEY control? If i want the real me to come out, i'll take STRING control all day. Best of luck.
Asking the REAL questions here!
I love this commentary. Haha. Really puts into perspective all of the times I bitch about missing features in samplers and DAWs hahaha. We really do this. When I made the shift from sample based producing to piano/keys honestly a lot of the points behind the satire are things I realized about just how different live playing is from the mindset of sequencing.
LOL! 💯!!
it's pre-midi, takes a converter box called a DI and all you get from that is a line level audio out, same kind of thing you get from the synths.
a standout musthave feature of this thing is that it is made to be played like those 80s keytars - how posin' lovely! 😁
furthermore i heard there's some real ancient ones out there that are supposed to be played without electricity and even standing UPRIGHT - DIG THAT!! 🤣
i mean which synth guy has got a microphone at his disposal? seriously ... 🤔❓
You made my morning! Part about sequencer)))
Good job with the muse bassline
Thanks so much! I´m trying to get it right at realtime speed! Wish me luck lol!
Any idea where you can buy one of those 'brain app' things? Also do you get them with more memory card slots?
I actually seem to be losing storage space as the years go by! Pretty janky OS if you ask me! If you find a place to buy more memory please share!
This is the kind of April fools video we need. Thank you for not doing the “durr durr im quitting never mind APRIL FOOLS” crap.
This was so incredibly well done.
Loved this!
Thanks so much!
Look, I understand the point about the battery, but those usually have more knobs, hence making it a better MIDI device!
It's that time of the year again 😂
😂😜
Brilliant!!
This is awesome!!!
This is my favorite synth review ever.
Also, I bought an electric bass recently and it’s so much freaking fun.
My 14 year old just decided to take up bass. I will send this to him. I suspect he will never forgive me.
😂😂😂
To think how much greater James Jamerson would have been on a cheap synth ...
A damn shame!😜
10/10 genial, love this video!
I bought one and tried to play it, but it always fell off my keyboard stand.
😂LOL!
It doesn’t have much sound tweaking either. No envelopes (well, those b-ass oscillators seem to have a quick attack and a slow decay envelope built-in), no LFO, no resonant filter, not even a garbage reverb chip built in. Not even a postage-stamp sized LCD to name your patches!
Do you find the oscillators go out of tune too?
Hilarious!!! I'll take that Squier off you if you can't find a use for it! It's out of my budget and i love to play (not in bands obviously, they do not need bass players..)
I’m taking that red devil with me to the grave!!! Thanks so much for watching!😂🙌🏻🙌🏻
Fascinating. 😉
Video of the year
I get me one ye sir-ee
🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻🙌🏻
this is great, thank you
Thanks so much!
best bass I ever had, i had to throw back in the river because it was too vintage
😂😂
Well done, sir.
Thank you!!
lol, this is how I started out my January
You can't get much more digital than this 👍
Cierto, es un instrumento muy limitado, ningún musico serio se aventuraría a usarlo en sus producciones, ojalá hicieran la version en modulo.
Jajajja asi es!! Un instrumento que seguramente nunca se hará popular😜 abrazo grande y gracias por ver el video!
Hmmm.... the Snark Side is strong with this one... 🙂
Dew It! Join the Snark Side!
Very good :)
WOW no undo?? NO SONG MODE? bruh when will we get real features
😂😂😂exactly!!! Like, how is anyone supposed to make any MUSIC ON THIS??😜
OMG, I laughed at almost all of your dad jokes. Great stuff.
Lol! Thanks for watching and joining in the silliness!!❤️
@@MidlifeSynthesist Just finished a stress-relieving jam. Been having a ton of fun with the Qu bit Data bender this evening. Now I am unplugging everything to protect it from coming storms. I watch your videos often but will fade back to lurker mode. I hope Davie 504 sees this one. Be well.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
I have one of these "B ass" things too. I thought it was just an ornament. No idea it was 4 voice occultation thing? My wife calls it a "DCD" that's, dust collecting device.
She keeps saying I have a DCD problem and need to get out more😃 thanks for Intel on old analogue vco thing anyway 😎😎😎👍👍👍
😂😜😜
You didn’t hold onto the Pro 3? Why not?
lol E#? Big love 😂😂
LOL!😂 big love back brother!
@@MidlifeSynthesistthank you for bringing your heart and soul to your channel. Love your work. This one tops it! 🪬
Great👏😅
Lulz. I feel seen.
Jajajaja BUY MORE BASS!!
Genius!
GREAT April fools video haha !
I 100 percent support this pivot to bass. Is that your first instrument?
This is the funniest thing ever if you're a nerd.
I bet another Teenage Engineering idea
😂😂
Something very fishy indeed!
They can’t fool us anymore!!
where is the button where i can block all videos from 1st of april
Maybe watch netflix instead of youtube today?🤷🏻♂️
Lol. 👍 electronic music deserves more... musicians. 😊
😂😅
ahahahahahaha, well played bro!
Amazing😂
❤️🙌🏻❤️
Now I have GAS for a BASS! 😏
Great :D
😜😂
Those bassassis(plural?) 'random delete' is a virus within the instruments coding and will affect the entire system. It can even affect the system retroactively.
Best stick with proven instruments that actual rhythm can be sequenced. Like a good monophonic synth.
Plus those things cause, like oh my god totally grody calluses on your fingertips. People who play them are almost as weird as Acoustic drummers. Yuck.
😂😂
🐠⭐️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hmmm not exactly Eurorack friendly. Doesn't even have CV inputs. There's no future in it.
Damn shame, it had potential
What? No MIDI *OR* CV on this thing? Maybe it has the old Roland DCB or something??
What a ba$$$
Thank you!! Jajaja🤩🤩
🤣🤣🤣 very entertaining ...
😜😜
bassed
I see what you did there😂👍🏼
Haha genius 😂
😂🙌🏻🙌🏻
😂
LOL😜
lol
😜
what does BoBeats think of this useless primitive non-instrument not made for someone as smart as HE ?
Bo is severely allergic to stringed instruments 😅
dave504 will be very upset with you if he hear this review xDD
Every time someone talks to me about my bass I feel like pretending I’m Paul Rudd in I Love You Man: “I slappa da bass man !” 😂 ruclips.net/video/OO0zDOhhaSw/видео.htmlsi=ZUMaLSiAXykrbREk
This spoilt ol Boomer has got every bit of new kit going....
😂😂
Think you really went fishing with this....
Just having some April Fools fun😉
@@MidlifeSynthesist way off bass lol APRIL FOOL
