River Spree, post apocalyptic looking Berlin around the Funkhaus and Tony talking modular ... definitely a good one! :) Seen the follow up from this year? ruclips.net/video/-KogBoKBAzU/видео.html
+Dibs MM if I was closer to any I'd travel over and do more of this style of interview. I have to wait for big events for things like this to be possible.
Great interview! Loving your show coverage so far, there are many other channels that covered the event but I like how since you're a modular guy you ask the manufacturers the right kind of questions and not like ''What is a VCO'' kind of stuff :D
+felipe vareschi yeah I was hoping that would come across. I've had a few noise issues with some audio and some camera blur/out of focus moments as it was really just a test on the technology I had to hand but overall I'm really happy with it all.
+DivKidVideo Hopefully mate - would love to buy you a pint! Dont know if I'll be bringing the modular tho - got exhausted and flu after the 1st one. Should be great either way!
Really great interview.. Interesting to see two very knowledgable modular bods able to really "geek out" and talk freely... This to me was the greatest single thing about Superbooth.. the environment for geeks to really open up and share thoughts and ideas
Very informative and interesting.. The whole conversation about the differences between east and west coast design philosophy, fundamentals and harmonics, triangle wave mixing and contour generators was fascinating! That States business kind of reminded me of Reaktor's morph function how you could basically slide between one 'preset' and another.. But in a more complex and analogue way.. Good stuff! ☺️
Excellent and very interesting interview Ben!. Tony Rolando is such a nice guy and he really knows his stuff. Maybe he should be part of a future Modular Podcast episode?
+Jorge Rivas Krause Tony was great, really happy I got to meet him and chat like this about his ideas. Definitely a good idea for a future podcast episode.
+Gareth Johnson thanks Gareth. Only got this conversation with Tony and didn't get them with other manufacturers. I'll be trying to do more of this in the future though for sure.
+DivKidVideo Yeah Ben, please do. It's great to hear their philosophies. I was only discussing the idea of "systems" with the Australian modular group the other day and so it was really interesting to hear both of your views. Tony seeing his brand as an instrument in the same way I'm sure Don Buchla did / does and how you like to build specific cases for certain duties. The 5 minute interviews that people grab with these guys at NAMM an such don't really allow the time for them to divulge very much, this was a nice format.
+Gareth Johnson yeah I've got plenty of general Superbooth footage but it was a lightbulb moment when we did this. Definitely going to be as much as I possible can. If I can somehow fund some time (and the actual cost) of travelling I'd be all over the place doing this.
Cheers John I appreciate that, there's a second follow up conversation with Tony from the year after. I'll try to do a third this year at Superbooth too.
Maybe some of us will remember, when Batman was the only kid in the block with a CD writer! I remember when I saw a modified Sony PlayStation playing Bootlegged imported Japanese games, namely Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, and THAT’s when I decided to buy a brand new PC. A Pentium 2, 300 MHz Windows 98 machine with a 1 GB hard drive and a whole 256 Megs of RAM! I was afraid of the internet so I ripped my modem out and traded it for 3 writable CDs, and my 2 times speed CD writer cost about 500$! It was 1996, and I know without a doubt that I’ve never made a wiser purchase. And the fact that software companies would stirr up incentive for everyone to go buy a CD burner, by claiming that with their software you can copy CDs. All of that snake oil would just serve as motivation for me to develop a skill set revolving around microcomputers, until I was actually semi computer literate. That decision and the experiences that followed as direct result of making that decision would shape my life and be so close to the core of my identity, that nothing else, no thing, no decision, has literally made me who I am more than the computer. THANKS FOR SHARING, I HOPE TO SEE SOMETHING GREAT AND AVANT-GARDE FROM MAKE NOISE IN A FEW WEEKS AT NAMM!!
Hey thanks, really enjoyable meeting and speaking to Tony he was great on and off camera. I don't make any videos for Make Noise, we have spoke about it but nothing has come of it in the past. No hard feelings just a matter of fact that nothing is happening regarding me videoing their modules at present.
Great interview! It's awesome to hear what's mulling around in the heads of these developers...Seems like the beauty in modular comes from wide acceptance of many various noise/frequency spectrums, so digital goodies that may happen to have some aliasing, can be approached in a creative and appreciative aspect, where as if you're a keyboard/guitar player, the sound of digital aliasing can be very off putting. Either way it's all about using the RIGHT tools, medium is mostly irrelevant.
Oooookay; compare the sound of TI PCM63 R-2R multibit DAC that was "then", and random 1-bit sigma-delta DAC that is "now"; for my ears multibit will be simply in another league, by far.
One of your best videos Ben

I’ll always want to listen to Tony and Ben
Thanks Neil, appreciate that. I'll hopefully grab Tony for a chat again at the next Superbooth.
Thanks, man. Cool interview.
+Gabriel Mnz cheers!
Amazing interview! Thank you!
I love how the modular community is a sect of really friendly nerds :)
yeah we're all a nice bunch. Funny when we all get out to events, it's like unloved pets been let to run around a park for the first time!
Make noise rock
More manufacturers interviews please
Fantastic

these interviews are great
Thanks for this Ben & Tony! Great interview with two genuinely cool blokes, thank you!
+mCKENIC cheers mate! Will I be seeing you at the next Dublin meet up?
+DivKidVideo Hopefully mate - would love to buy you a pint! Dont know if I'll be bringing the modular tho - got exhausted and flu after the 1st one. Should be great either way!
+mCKENIC great I'll take a pint no problem! :) I aren't bringing anything for the event. Just bringing a rucksack over for a few days.
Finally got round to seeing this guys. Great little interview. Tony seems like a great fella.
+Ben Breslin cheers Ben
Really great interview.. Interesting to see two very knowledgable modular bods able to really "geek out" and talk freely...
This to me was the greatest single thing about Superbooth.. the environment for geeks to really open up and share thoughts and ideas
+Chevytravelleruk yeah that really was the beauty of it. Lots of great people all in a really nice open feeling event sharing ideas.
Great interview, seems like access to the big modular guys at superbooth was amazing
+Forehead the whole event was great :)
Great interview - really in depth and interesting conversation
+basicbasic thanks, hoping to arrange more of these in the future.
Great interview.
+cane creek thanks mate

+andy carter cheers Andy appreciate your comment.
This is an excellent interview on so many levels. Great work Ben.

The man has a clear look on things, great interview. Keep making noise!
+nicolasdwa cheers

Tony is a genius. i go that far to count him somewhere betwenn legends as don buchla, bob moog, dave smith, arp! seems to be a great guy as well!
Terrific interview - thanks for posting!
+yerpa58 cheers for the support.
Fantastic!
This is incredible! Such a great video! More like this guys!
+allears62 thanks and definitely love to be doing more of these kinds of videos.
This is my favorite one so far man, excellent conversation.
+Gareth Johnson thanks Gareth. Only got this conversation with Tony and didn't get them with other manufacturers. I'll be trying to do more of this in the future though for sure.

Really nice interview! great job again!
+thisisprisma thank you, appreciate the support. Hoping to set up more of these where I can in the future.
Very good interview, Thanks!
+Auxar cheers
Great coverage Ben!
+David Ramirez thanks David.
Very Cool. Thanks ! Keep it up DivKid!!
+SunFallsMusic thanks man! :)
Getting caught up with your videos. This interview was excellent.
Cheers John I appreciate that, there's a second follow up conversation with Tony from the year after. I'll try to do a third this year at Superbooth too.
Killer interview. Unless I win a lottery I don't see myself ever affording a Shared System, but the No Coast is within budget hopefully.
+Account Von Fraude No Coast looks great, I'd love to play around with one when they come out.
Swell interview, Ben

Nice inteview divkid! not seeing you do a lot make noise modules though... ;)

Exactly that!
It would be greate if modules actually allowed you to seamlessly morph between their states.
+TheSlowGrowth yeah that would be seriously cool! I use Macro control on soft synths to do things like that.
+DivKidVideo I guess it only makes sense for modules with continuous parameters (-> like Frames)
+TheSlowGrowth yeah makes sense

WHY ARE YOU ON A BOAT?
we're not, just on the edge of the river.
@@DivKid that sounds exactly like what someone on a boat would say
cool
