Sorry for the two minutes of dead air around the 18 minute mark - just skip to 20:10.
Finally got around to making this! This is a basic introduction to how Blockhead works and the aspects that make it unique, interesting, and extremely powerful. Can't really recommend it highly enough.
Here's a link to the manual:

this is insanity

its looks amazing,but for experimental music for now at least

@Hyfudiar 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, it's basically tailor-made for experimental music and sound design. It's pretty wild.

I have a beta blockhead version from a while back, it was buggy so I stopped using it. Really need to get back into it. I was immediately could tell that FM was cross modulating, it really reminds me of my ax60 tbh

It's definitely still got its bugs, but it's worth checking out again! Colugo is consistently putting out interesting updates and steady bugfixes. I really need to make a part 2 video to this soon, going over the stuff that has been added in the meantime.

Is there already a way to enlarge all blocks / lanes in a project? Similar to what the "hover + F" command does, but just for all of the stuff? That would sometimes come in very handy. Couldnt find anything by clicking around or searching through your FANTASTIC manual :) Maybe you know it! That would be very nice!

@Hyfudiar 3 ай бұрын

I don't know of one, but that would be useful for sure! It would definitely be worth putting in the suggestions channel in the Discord server! Also, I don't think I knew about the hover-F shortcut! Thanks for mentioning it, I'll put it in the documentation!

Is there anyway to slice and split samples? Seems like an oversight to me

@Hyfudiar 3 күн бұрын

Oh absolutely, you just hover your cursor over a sample and press the S key to split it at that point. It's actually the fastest and easiest method of splitting I've seen in a DAW haha, you don't even have to click anywhere.

aphex twin should watch this

I would love to see what he could do with it! (And I also wouldn't be surprised at all if he's already played around with it, haha)

I searched the patroon for the manual, came up short… can you link to it?

@Hyfudiar 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, here it is! I'll put a link to it in the description as well. docs.google.com/document/d/1y6je_g2oNnxClL1eXV20dcQpoyZEkek5LTxQPyEFT0w/edit?usp=sharing

@@Hyfudiar I found out that it is linked with every update, but when I searched patron, it only searches tags apparently, which he did not employ. Anyways thanks!

You're a block head for even using it. There's no grid, yet you're paying $3 for it.

@Hyfudiar 14 күн бұрын

You can add a grid if you want one! Not having a grid/tempo by default is actually part of the philosophical vision for the DAW as I understand it though - I believe it is supposed to be a DAW that is more freeing and creatively open than strictly tied to tempo/etc. Colugo talks about it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpuWirNztMrWiWw.html

@Frikoppie Ай бұрын

system requirements?

@Hyfudiar Ай бұрын

Not sure, sorry! I think it's fairly lightweight (as far as DAWs go, anyway), but I'm sure some more extreme uses of it will be taxing on older systems. I've had next to no issue with it though, nearly every (*maybe* all, think it might have happened a couple times though) crash I've had has just been caused by a bug. I haven't really had any issues with it freezing and crashing for performance issues, even when doing fairly demanding things like loading 10GB of audio files into it simultaneously.

@@Hyfudiar Thanks for the reply, wondering coz I'm using a 15 year old PC running windows 7. Not the worst PC in its own right, but as you'd know rather many things annoyingly require windows 10+ (which is why I got Reaper and FL Studio).

@Hyfudiar Ай бұрын

@@Frikoppie Hmm yeah, really don't know if it would run on Windows 7 or not, sorry.
