Amazing work

I'm actually a K.O. II player, but I still found all of this advice super applicable with just slight adjustments. Thanks a bunch.

This video helped me a lot!! Thank you very much for this extremely useful experiment! As a 404 user, I feel like I found what I was looking for! Big :)

The Mininova is the Synth I grab and take where ever and just jam, and play with I should just plug a zoom recorder to it and make samples from the random jamming.

Very good video. I would love to know how it connects to the Eyentide blackhole app,thank you.👍

I love your channel and energetic! So helpful and interesting.

Great video! This was exactly what I was looking for after looking at so many other videos and products. Luckily I remembered this device and found your video. 🔥🔥💚

@yukesmusic Greetings I kinda got lost as to why you were using different cards, then it hit me. You using 404sx not mk2 (just got the mk2 myself a few weeks ago). I guess you would make different Projects in the MK2 vs. having the actual card (except for bkup)

With multilayered sounds, having a delay as part of the ADSR is super handy.

So nice that you got the call to demo this for Arturia. Especially in that you have experience with using traditional Chinese instruments along with synthesisers.

What a treasure

great visuals!

Oh heeeeeyyy!!!!! I'm so happy to have finally fallen on another person who EXPLICITLY mentions they want to build a holophonor! (or an instrument that has the same intention). I'm an experimental animator. hehe. I did not know about this instrument. It sounds so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 💗🖖

Your playing is so cinematic and beautiful brother. It inspired me a lot. I have some questions, it has some latency ? Because it is MIDI over bluetooth. Which cheap EWI can play well without latency?

Your videos are really inspiring and cool. One gripe: the plural of “vinyl” is “vinyl. Keep exploring

So, so cool - thanks!

Man, I been looking at many vids about the 404. Your approach is natural, musical and intuitive. I wasn’t convinced until I saw this. Thanks man.

The Soviet Union's artistic and cultural development from the early to mid-20th century significantly influenced the rise of modernism and minimalism. Here is some relevant background information: 1. **Lenin and Electrification**: Lenin once said, "Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country," highlighting the importance of technology and modernization for communism. This ideology influenced Soviet artists and designers of the time, who often pursued a combination of technology and minimalism. 2. **Minimalism and Electronic Music**: Soviet minimalism manifested in art, architecture, and music. Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square" is a prime example of minimalism. First exhibited in 1915, this artwork is considered a significant milestone in modern art. It emphasizes simple geometric forms and extreme abstraction, profoundly influencing later graphic design, architecture, and other forms of modern art. 3. **Stalin's Influence**: During Stalin's era, the Soviet Union promoted Socialist Realism, demanding that artworks serve the purpose of communist propaganda. This policy stifled the development of many modernist and avant-garde arts. Many artists and musicians were persecuted or forced to change their styles during this period. 4. **Influence on Chinese Musicians**: Under Stalin's influence, China also required artworks to serve political purposes. Chinese musicians during this period were similarly influenced by Soviet Socialist Realism. However, after the economic reforms, a more diverse and modern artistic expression began to flourish in China. The "Yama YM 8501" was a toy electronic piano produced in China in the 1970s, priced at around $15. This electronic instrument had a simple structure, possibly incorporating the tonal qualities of traditional Chinese instruments like the erhu, combined with electronic waveform sounds. These instruments were typically inexpensive and suitable for households and music enthusiasts. Here are some key points related to this background information: 1. **Minimalist Design**: The design of such instruments was minimalist, in line with the influence of minimalist art in both China and the Soviet Union at the time. The simple structure and functionality made them easy to manufacture and use. 2. **Development of Electronic Music**: Despite the promotion of Socialist Realism in the mid-20th century in both the Soviet Union and China, electronic music development continued in some areas. Electronic instruments like the "Yama YM 8501" reflect the era's exploration of new technology and sound. 3. **Fusion of Tradition and Modernity**: The sound characteristics of this toy electronic piano likely incorporated elements of traditional Chinese instruments, reflecting a fusion of cultural exchange and innovation. In the political context of the time, this fusion of tradition and modernity also expressed modernization and technological progress. In summary, electronic instruments like the "Yama YM 8501" were products of their time, reflecting the influence of minimalist and modernist art in China and the Soviet Union. These instruments showcased innovation in sound and embodied the principles of simplicity and practicality in their design and functionality.

Really like this usage case....exactly where I'm at 😊

If you ever decide to get out of the music business, you should become a professional instructor. You have a laid back vibe about you, making your voice very conducive to learning. I've never had the desire or even an inking to live in China, but I sure do wish I could see you perform live! Any live streams planned for your future?

That was a-ma-zing! I don't think I've ever heard that style/genre of music before, but I just love it! I love how you seem to put your personal spin on things. You have some of the best creative chops I've heard - maybe ever! You have a new follower here, and I'm certain this isn't the last time I'll listen to this particular performance.

Hey, I just came across your channel tonight. I would sure love to see what one of your performances looks like! Do you have that anywhere I can watch it? Your sounds are so dope!!

What is the instrument in the thumbnail with the inbuilt keys? Is this an actual instrument? Thank you for this video Yukes :)

Producer series. Yoooooo.

24:55 changed my life

你好, Yukes! 我来自中国，之前从您和mengqi的合作视频认识到您。我准备进入404mk2，今天第一次在youtube看到您的视频，非常感谢您的分享，这是伟大的！非常感谢！

I honestly don't know where to start. This (and your other videos) I find so inspirational and incredibly well produced I cannot thank you enough for sharing them. I can see having a set-up like this not only uncluttering my workspace but also my mind. Hopefully leaving me to think more easily regarding the task in hand. I often get bogged down deciding which of my gear I should dig out and wire up, by which time i've lost the initial impetous. Glad to hear you plan more videos 👍

This was a fascinating watch Yukes, I love how thorough you are. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make this. I've been eyeing the QY70 for a long while, particularly because a lot of my favourite artists used it to create to create some of their best songs (e.g. Bjork, Bat for Lashes). Also having a portable standalone device with so many instruments, effects, adsr and even EQ and mixing capabilities does hold a strong appeal for me. I struggle to find a device these days that packs such a punch in terms of versatility and usability, even if the sound quality and instruments aren't the best. Thanks so much again :)

Thanks a lot for this wonderful video session. So much fun to watch ❤

Really great video. Thanks!

this riff too fucking good

Excellent explanation of Yangtze, but also how the other augmented products work at the advanced level. Best explanation I've seen. I did purchase your bank - very nice and now I have to explore what you did to create them.😃

Hey have you heard of late of the pier, they have a Akai Mpc1000 player who uses it in the same way you describe as in the video. I guess it might be a bit different thought cause it might be a bit more planned out. Anyway, I find it as a very under the radar and unique thing to bring to a live event. Great Video!!!

The kid from the 6th sense went on to do great things after all

Wow 🙏🏼

What a fascinating video ❤.

Hi! thanks for video! What's kind of oscilloscope used with RoAT?

I've watched a couple of your videos so far; how do you not have more subscribers? Loving the vibe and compilation!

I not only heard some awesome sounds in this video Yukes, I also learned so very much! Thanks. x

wow, thanks 🙏

Super cool. I use the Logic Pro Chinese instruments often and wondered what would be the next step up. I think you've introduced me to he palette I didn't know needed. Nice work!

damn wtf , who are you

very useful video thank you brother

It's really amazing how things made by Yamaha ~30 years ago are actually still more feature-rich and polished than almost all of the gear released recently. Oh, and usually they sound better, too.

oh godddd the xiao at it's best how did you get so skilled at all these instruments, yukes?? i'm so obsessed with chinese instruments and i can't get enough of your unique and refreshing music!!!

sooooo beautiful!!!!!

Bro ❤ thank you so much for inspiring me to use my sp404mk2

this is excellent
