    This is my Artiphon Instrument 1 review. In this video I unbox the Artiphon Instrument 1, connect it, play some sounds with the Artiphon app, Garageband app, and even construct a song! I show you what’s in the box, how to get started, demo all the best sounds, talk about playability, and then see how it works with Garageband on an iPad. The Artiphon Instrument 1 is an MPE MIDI controller in a guitar form factor. It plays guitar, bass, ukulele sounds, as well as violin, piano, rhodes, and even DRUMS! I demo it all! So is it worth $400? You gotta watch the video!

    I've had mine for a year now, I think. It is my absolute favorite instrument to play. I have 200+ instruments in my collection, and I'm a violin maker. Instrument 1 with the right software is amazing! Music Studio on the iPad has the BEST sounds I have ever used, and I have over 20 DAW softwares in my my collection. With Music Studio, the solo violin or oboe are just astounding, they sound so real. Other programs really screw these sounds up by immediately doing vibrato right from the start. NO idiot plays a note that way, one starts with a steady note, no vibrato, you wait a moment, then add it in! Well, Music Studio does it this way. It makes me sound like Izak Pearlman on a multi-million dollar Strad! What a fricken wonderful sound. Hey, at Christmas I played Moonlight Sonata on solo violin, with my laptop doing the backtrack. I made the little girls cry! I also have the Orba which I find as a worthless pile of crap, nothing but a toy. I have yet to hear ANYONE do a decent song on the Orba! It does ok on drums. Then we have morons who all they do is a beat, so what, who cares, it takes MORE than just drums to make a song. The orba does make a nice little paperweight, but at $100, an expensive one! Artiphon definitely made a one of a kind controller with Instrument 1, I consider it MORE as a musical instrument than a controller. I bought an extention cable of 15', same length as the audio cable, and can walk around jamming, the short cable that came with it is just NOT long enough for a stage performance, and thats what I use mine for. I also love how I can switch over and play guitar... then for piano and drums, forget it, I have better things to do them on, like my Yamaha keyboard, and my digital drumsets. I am totally NUTS about Instrument 1 and highly recommend it. BTW, on the solo violin setting in Music Studio the range is actually Double Bass, Cello, and Violin, all without changing to individual instruments! Solo Oboe on this program, incredible! I love playing Gabriels Oboe on it!!!

    I hate to piss in everybody's cornflakes, but I must warn you all about something.
    About a year and a half ago, I bought an Artiphon Instrument 1. I liked it. But not long ago, I had issues with charging and powering it up. Long story short, the internal battery is dead.
    It gets better. Artiphon informed me that they do not offer battery replacement service: they only replace the whole unit IF it's still under the one year warranty. In fact, while examining the thing, it looks like there's no way short of cracking it open to get into the unit to access the battery.
    So, unless Artiphon comes up with a solution, I'm stuck with a useless device I can't even sell for parts. Which is even more tragic because I really like the thing.

    Guess what! My wife went ahead and gave the instrument to me today! She know that I would have such a hard time waiting for my birthday to get here. I've been playing with it all day long, and it is so amazing! I'm using several DAW's on the iPad. I also downloaded the PC software for it. I found setting up the DAW a pain in the butt like it always is on any of my midi instruments, but finally got a few of them to work. I just wish I had the same luck with my laptop. The software comes up, the instrument is active, however, no sound at all. I got tired of dealing with it and gave up for today. If you know why I'm not getting audio, please let me know. I started watching the tutorials tonight. I'll be viewing all of them. I also found out on the PC that if I bring up the instrument, I can't hear any videos, tell me if you know why. It seems like the PC can only do one audio source. I just hope I dont have to use the iPad all the time. What I want to do is play a backtrack on the pc and melody on the instrument. Anyhow, it is so impressive. The violin sound from the DAW makes me sound like Izak Perlman playing, what a pretty sound. I also need the oboe, bass, steel guitar, and cello sounds, which I have found. The violin one sounds like a super expensive violin, just so amazing. I played Amazing Grace with violin, then Adigo Gm on cello, Gabriels Oboe on oboe, Kenny G on the sax... I am totally blown away, it can play any sound of all the real instruments I have, which is now 119 of them. Gosh, with the capabilities of the instrument, I don't even need all of these real ones anymore! I sure am happy that my wife gave it to me early. Last Christmas she got me the Hohner C64 chromatic harmonica, a melodica, african thumb piano, and the Yamaha Venova. I'm fully retired now, I never have to work again, so I wake up every day and do what I want to do, and not go to work. If we are not playing World of Warcraft I am either making an instrument, or playing one. I generally play about 10 instruments a day. Now I can see myself playing the Artiphon full time. Between all of the DAWs I have, about 10 of them, I now have thousands of instruments available to me. Later on, I will be doing a video of me playing Amazing Grace and Ave Maria to post for my friends to see and hear. When I do, I will post you the link here!

    • @SanjayC
      @SanjayC  4 года назад +1

      I'm so glad you're having so much fun with the Instrument 1. On your PC, you'll have to choose between either using the Artiphon software alone or your DAW (with its instruments) alone. If you want to use a backing track and play along, you'll need to load that backing track into your DAW (import the audio file into a track), and then load another MIDI track with an instrument on it - like a guitar to control with the Artiphon. When you use your DAW, you set your audio output to your computer speakers (or audio interface if you have one), and then you'll hear the backing track and the midi track on your computer speakers. The Artiphon then only acts as a controller to control the internal sounds within your DAW's midi track. I hope this helps.

    • @PootaurStuff
      @PootaurStuff 4 года назад +1

      @@SanjayC Which DAW are you using. I am using Acid, Ignite, Sonar x3, and Samplitude. I still can get a sound out of Bandlab. I'm wondering if there is ANY DAW out there specifically for the Arti? I think sounds for violin on the Arti app HORRIBLE! Samplitude on the PC is the best one. Then Music Lab does the most actual sound of a violin. I mainly want violin and oboe to work the best. The sounds that come with the Arti are pretty awful. You would think that the company would pick the best sound fonts for their device, it would sell better. For such a great instrument why skimp with a piece of crap software? Its like the Akai Midi Digital Horn, a fine instrument, with the most crappy sounds... Whatever you do, do NOT buy this instrument. The delay between blowing a note and then hearing it is unacceptable. I still use my Yamaha digital horn more, it has its own tone generator box that does a pretty good job. It is also standalone. You simply plug the horn into the box, then the box to an amp, and it is ready to play within seconds, unlike everything else... The Ignite sofware is made specifically for the Max 49 keyboard and does a great job of detecting the keyboard and the DAW being used, There is no BS setting up, it does it for you. So when I plugged the Arti in, ran Ignite, I was ready to play as soon as i picked the instrument... I've been using midi from the time it first came out and STILL find getting a sound out of some DAWs a nightmare...

    Had fun with it for a while, even wrote an entire string section using it. However the trigger pads simply stopped working after a year. I’d understand if I dropped it or left it in the rain, but it just stopped working. There doesn’t seem to be any place (in Canada at least) to get it repaired so buyer beware.

    Yo, my wife ordered one for my upcoming birthday in December! I can't wait to get my hands on it. I've watched just about every available video of it here on youtube. I'm so amazed by what I've seen. ALthough I have the real instrument of every instrument, they are a pain in the butt at times. I wanted a single instrument that does it all, and one that you hold like the real thing. I have two digital horns, they are great, but not what I really want. I also like the idea that I can hook to a cellphone, iPad, and computer. Several years ago, I bought, I guess about 10 different DAWS, and downloaded hundreds of virtual instruments. With all this software and this device, there is NO limit of what can be done. I already know when I get it in my hot little hands I wont even want to go out to eat for my birthday, I'll be wanting to take it with me! I have 118 instruments in my collection. I'm also a violin, guitar, harp, and steel guitar maker. Music is everything to me in life! When I get to the point that I can no longer play, I dont want to be alive! I appreciate you showing all of us the video. I know that you were about to spew from excitement, as I will be doing in December!

    As a guitarist, the dealbreaker for me is the way the right hand string sensors are aligned in a thin strip, perpendicular to the strings. This doesn’t allow for efficient right hand technique. It’s an inferior design.

    I don't really agree that, as you say this is a "pick up and play instantly instrument" as you can not take it out of the box and start playing. It is a controller and requires a computer (iPhone) connection in order to have any sound at all. I have an Instrument 1 on order and will be receiving it today or tomorrow. Uncharacteristically, I have only Windows 10 machines and Android Phones which will be no help at all. I am willing to purchase a used iPhone for $20 in order to have the ability to take this out to the park on a Sunday and chill with it. I will keep the spare phone in the carrying case. Also, should this actually work for me I hope to make some videos about how awesome it is for Cakewalk by Bandlab (free DAW on Windows) users. Maybe I can be the Windows guy as the creators of this instrument are quite fond of saying "I don't use Windows". We shall see.

    Wait, what?! Did I just see correctly that you were playing normal guitar chords?? Does that mean the keyboard and other instruments are set up in those instrument's tuning and such?? Do tell. Super curious. This looks like the auxiliary instrument of my dreams. Perhaps a super affordable way for me to lay down the other instuments on the album I've been planning.

    • @SanjayC
      @SanjayC  6 лет назад +1

      So if you're purely a guitarist, this is a great instrument to use as a MIDI controller. So yeah, you can play other instruments like a guitar. BUT, you can also switch to keyboard and drum pad layouts. Lots of options.

    • @JeremyGotwals

    • @SanjayC
      @SanjayC  6 лет назад +1

      I get this question a lot. They are both very different. Before I had the Artiphon Instrument 1, I always felt like I couldn't mimic the accurate sound of a strumming guitar or picking guitar. This solved that problem for me. I also advise people that, if you're going to pick one of the two, I would pick according to your primary instrument. If you're a guitarist, go for the Instrument 1, if you're a keyboardist, go for the Seaboard Block. If you're both...well then...time to save up!

  • @Subparanon
    @Subparanon 6 лет назад

    I think mine is going back. I just got it today, both speakers buzz like they are blown out, at any volume, the fret board doesn't respond to finger vibrato or pressure, and it's difficult to mute. I've played guitar 20 years and maybe a few seconds of playing out of every minute doesn't sound too bad, but the rest is notes triggering staccato, the sudden muting of strings that should be ringing, and strings that should be muting getting stuck on. Instead of enjoying it, it just made me want to put it down and go pick up one of my guitars.

    • @SanjayC
      @SanjayC  6 лет назад

      That's good feedback for the Artiphon peeps. If you're an experienced guitarist, this is gonna feel really different. For a beginner like me, its fine.

    • @tronlady1
      @tronlady1 5 лет назад

      I think you’re missing the point I don’t think it’s supposed to be a replacement for a guitar? I am interested in it purely as a midi controller, Along with the jamstick. They have both been marketed wrongly and people think that they are guitars when they are nothing like guitars!!!

    • @SanjayC

      Tough question - they are really different approaches. Since I am primarily a keyboardist, I would choose the seaboard alone and add the full version of Equator software.

  • @HamedHamedi
    @HamedHamedi 6 лет назад

    I'm happier with seaboard block. What's your idea? Which one you prefer?

    • @SanjayC
      @SanjayC  6 лет назад

      Honestly...I'm a keyboardist, but I still prefer the Lightpad. Its just such an innovative device. I can configure it, change layouts, and the light feedback is so cool. Also, I tend to grab that first when I walk out the door - its such a convenient small controller. I can go on and on....How about you?

    • @HamedHamedi
      @HamedHamedi 6 лет назад

      I'm more melodic player rather than bits. From my point, it's a little hard to connect with the shape of notes on lightpad, though It's a great device both as fun and productivity.
      But as I didn't touched yet the physical version of lightpad, I can't be sure which one is my favorite :D

    • @SanjayC
      @SanjayC  6 лет назад +1

    Reminds me of many of the fake reviews for that dress watch scam from Felipe Loreti. They paid hundreds of people to advertise their substandard quality watches and many reviews are just like what this guy is doing. To me he simply looks like he is acting and pretending to love it.
    Any person who has tried guitar once will wonder why anyone would buy this? For kids who don’t want to seriously learn guitar this may be a cool toy.
