    You can see the pride in Stephan's eyes when you see his instrument properly played. Well done, sir.

    I love Stephan‘s smile when Matt hits the keys. He really enjoys watching and hearing Matts playing - how can he not 😊!

      You're absolutely right. As with most other C15 owners I had the opportunity to have a few calls with Stephan before buying my synth. Its so very clear from talking to him how proud he is of this instrument. Even the fact that he puts in a personal call with every one of his customers says a lot about his personal investment in this synth.

      He's an inventor, not a session player 😂, I'd have a smile to if someone mastered what I created ❤😊

    • @andycleall
      @andycleall 8 месяцев назад

      I had a play with it at Synthfest and could sense his frustration with me not being a proper keyboard player. You’re absolutely right that this instrument comes to life in the hands of Matt.

    Dude hit the jackpot when he got matt to play this thing on camera. That’s why he kept looking at the camera smiling. Lol

      :-) That's exactly what I thought. Matt following your example, giving this magnificent instrument some love, made my day. Thank you again, also, Claudio. Nonlinear Labs really needs brilliant guys like the both of you to make people realize that this mind-blowing synth is out there.

    At last, a breakthrough synth ! I was getting desperate ; too many people copy each other and it seems no one was thinking outside the box. Kudos to Stephan Schmitt

  • @fauxtapes628
    @fauxtapes628 8 месяцев назад +34

    By far the best and most impressive demo of an instrument I’ve watch since a long time. The synth and the playing are stellar.

  • @wesselvanrensburg8
    @wesselvanrensburg8 8 месяцев назад +10

    I own this beautiful synth. It is handmade and gorgeous to play with best keybed ever. On top of that Stephan is the kindest man and his team is incredible!

    Matt’s playing never ceases to amaze me. they picked the perfect person to demo this instrument. so many of the more cinematic ideas he played could easily be dropped into movies. so inspiring.

  • @studentsmusic
    @studentsmusic 8 месяцев назад +12

    know the c15 since quite a while and have seen many demos. Matt nails it exactly the way that convinces me to buy one. Great musicianship, instant access and feel for its sound capacity and instantly understanding how to use certain sounds. I would take the same sort of approach checking a new instrument and Matt did it for us all...thanks for that video and thanks to nonlinear labs for providing such a great instrument.

    Wow, this synth sounds so organic! Looks fantastic too, you can clearly see this one is made with lots of love.

  • @realqwave
    @realqwave 8 месяцев назад +14

    This is my lonely island synth for some years now. And the firmware added so many useful things with each new version. This is a real instrument, not just a synth.

    • @Quicksilver_Cookie
      @Quicksilver_Cookie 8 месяцев назад +2

      Is "just a synth" not a real instrument? A silly thing to say.

  • @paulmacksmith

    This definitely seems like a player's instrument. The level of expressiveness is remarkable.

  • @TomLamb1
    @TomLamb1 8 месяцев назад +9

    This is the best, most different sounding synth I've heard in a long time. As Matt says, truly acoustic sounding and those pads/atmospheres 😮

  • @user-iy4ih7dj4n
    @user-iy4ih7dj4n 8 месяцев назад +3

    The best demo ever - the better you can play, the more you can hear what is under the hood.

  • @Deepwatermusic
    @Deepwatermusic 8 месяцев назад +2

    I think you need one of these Matt! It is so expressive, especially underneath the hands of a virtuoso player like yourself. You make it really come to life!

  • @josephfelice601

    My Lord, that intro is unreal. Probably the only thing I have ever heard that matches or succeeds the CS80 Blade Runner vibe.

    @erikribeiro5772 8 месяцев назад

    I remember watching videos when it first came out. It looked crazy, and I loved the aesthetic and the ribbons, but I didn't really get to hear enough of the sounds. It's wonderful to get to hear it sing in your hands and hear how far it's come since it first came out. Great video! Thanks, Matt!

    @Bin909able 8 месяцев назад +5

    I played it a bit some time ago. Was amazed with the sound, but also had a reality check: I'm not a performer. My playing skills are lacking for this player's instrument. This is a genuine instrument! Great company too, btw. Terrific video!

    Props for throwing in Burning of the Midnight Lamp by Jimi Hendrix, bonus points for that! 😃
    Great demo of a really interesting synth too. I liked the string sounds that are somehow both realistic and unreal at the same time.

    What an incredible gift sandboxing this instrument in a long form exploration. The craftsmanship looks outstanding. Thank you for sharing. For all the keyboard heads out there, I found Mike Nock’s Fourth Way today. I wonder what the old jazz masters would do sitting in front of something like this.
