Thanks for sharing your proficiency along with your skills in unpacking the countless possibilities found in this droning set .. mind blowing potential .. it is a beast .. cheers to the world of sound!

Hi Liam! Why did you end up selling the OPZ?

Great idea to use the A4 as an effects unit for the lovely L8. My only concern is the reverb tail is not long enough 😩 but I love the idea - using the step sequencer to manipulate the effects is great.

Nice bro🔥

Gorgeous tuning he had on the Lyra 8. I'd like to see what he did.

Every time I start to loose hope with my Lyra, I see someone use it in a cool, new, inspiring way!

Do you recommend SP-404 mk2 for a beginner with no experience for mainly making beat? I have background in mix & mastering but I want to do more than just that.

Reminds me of John Cale’s playing in the VU.

Omg 🔥🔥🔥🔥 how you make a kick that was brilliant. It was analog?

Liam do you give one on one tutorial lessons on the Tr-8s

Great stuff, may I ask, as a newbie, how to connect the J-6 to a macbook and being able to record and playback or use my composition such that I can use this in videotrack or share with soemone. What software do I need on the macbook?

The Lyra might be the best piece of hardware I’ve ever bought. I absolutely adore mine.

Guys, control a4 fx params with performance mode!

Back at it again with the sick vibes !

Sigh i loveeee the op 1 and will be getting the field (basically teaching myself to fix it if problems occur.) other than that I couldn't pressure myself to get any of the other product they have. I dont really have a lot of gear and the stuff i do is old which is fine for me cus it works for me. I stay updated on the new gear coming out because its cool but i know what works for me and what doesnt. It does get tempting from time to time lol but i just think "how would this work with what i have and do I really need to but it." People also need to remember some of their favorite artist use old ass gear to makw somw bangers.

Yes always the kick!!! Went from 10/10 to an 11 ❤

Love this. Been fan of all drone music

@asterisium Hi liam. This show is fun. Strange instrument. Thanks for the discovery 😊, never heard of it. To All of us Continue to support this channel.

Wow, The Lyra 8 is such a beast! Really need to keep my student ass from buying that thing. But the sound and textures I could be lost for days with that thing.

Hilariously I hate it because it's not MORE noisy, I wanted motor noises clacking and whirring to be the source of the synths sound, instead the motors just spin electromagnets to make signal connections and send, due to this the sounds I hear out of it don't seem all that unique tbh.

I would have loved it if you'd have used the same audio for direct comparison, but thank you for great vid 👍🏻

I’m upset they didn’t drop the ep turntable thing or the ep sub it’s really making me mad they really could take over my gas but tg Erica synths and elektron are taking all my money rn though

so true

It's a $2,000 SP-404.

Koala Sampler is the best music innovation in the past decade.

Gotdamn! Fucking so sick!

2.14 seems to work really well on my MPC One Plus.

volevo chiederti all'accensione del mixer tramite pulsante 1/0 nel lato posteriore e' normale che sento un clip in accensione .. specialmente nelle cuffie? hai provato se senti un clip forte in accensione .. grazie per la risposta

Great info

I remember that I was very much intrigued when the first op-1 came out but the price was ridiculous. I think TE had their peak time with PO33. After that, all their gears are either plain right shit or way too over priced.

Basically, don't believe the hype

TE aren’t really a synth company, or a design company … they’re more of a hipsters’ shiny toy company 😏 … ☺️ Talk about selling the sizzle, not the sausage … ✨

Dope

Nice one thanks for the great details 🎉

If huge prices make KZfaqrs make countless videos about the product and make other people comment on it... it means their tactics works

The Lick

I fully agree1000%! About rushing a gear I remember this new year everyone wants ep-133 , and I have Roland sp-404 mkii it even better take it and use it.🙌🙌🙌

Yeah, this is THE techno machine - you‘ll really need to know what to get next when you start out

Hello!! Is it possible to route different audio for the main audio output and the headphone output? Many thanks for everything!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Traductor

Hi Liam, I like your videos very much, you've been a great resource for me with regards to getting into the PO series in recent months. Your disclaimer about TE and their role in R1 comes too late and is at odds with what you say beforehand: "a handheld ai designed by teenage engineering" we know it's the housing primarily, not the AI service. "it also seems like they straight up lied about how it actually works" the Rabbit team would be the "they" here, not TE I really admire your work, but think you've made some mistakes here and it's the first impressions that really matter. It's great to hear your takes on your role and interactions with technology, the users and the various industries (goods/content) On a side note; PO's have helped me get into music like I never thought possible, at a great price point (specially 2nd hand) EP-133 I'm a bit skeptical of this becoming a whole series like the PO myself, but the 133's price point / accessibility is wild.

Excellent video Liam. As I put my studio together over time, i diligently research the instruments that go into it to have a specific and hopefully permanent surface. This with the recent (last 5 years) exception of the Moog Sound Studio and The Microfreak, both of which I bought sight unseen/unheard. Needless to say I wasn’t disappointed with either. With that being said, I find no desire or temptation to do anything but create the music and produce sample packs I freelance. When the Digitakt II came out recently I was scratching my head as to why so many’s people all the sudden found out that the digitakt wasn’t sufficient for their needs anymore. This is a laughable cover for GAS. I love how you touched on that in the video. With the exception of a select few experiments and trials everything in my workshop has a very specific purpose for being there. Even with the overlap this is true. I have both an Octatrack and Digitakt but for different sampling purposes. Same goes with my Roland SP. At the end of the day if they are more into looking cool with new trends or simply just like playing with the gear.. (thats not such a bad thing really) and not really into creating actual music, they are hobbyists at best funding the TE CEO’s senior advisor’s new penthouse office in Stockholm. Probably putting a few kids through some ivy league educations too. Just sayin lol. Awesome video and spot on. A sigh of relief when my fellow EDM veterans are standing up and calling out the bs. You have my respect Liam. 🍚 🥕 ☮️ ❤️ 🕊️

OH YEAH 🤘

Alright, I’m scratching my head regarding the controls for the open and closed hihats… 😅 to be able to control the common parameters (decay, tuning etc.) for both at the same time, I imagine that the voices are set to the same midi channel ? But then how do you separate the volume controls of both between 2 knobs ? Am I missing something obvious maybe ? Awesome video and setup !

While I agree with many things you say in this video there is a bit of irony of you having teenage engineerings name in the title and then talking mostly about GAS in general:) In some strange sense I think that the OP1 field being as expensive as it is, is a good thing for GAS. Since it’s not possible for most to just impulsively go buy it. In that way buying it will be a bigger investment and you will probably take it more seriously spending time with it. A weird justification for a high price, I know. But I also suffer much from GAS. I have every Pocket operator but none of the OP1’s.

i bought the po33, minifreak, the east beast and the roland t-8. 4 pieces of gear with minimal overlap and if i could go back and redo it all i wouldve just bought vsts.

I bought into the KZfaq EP-133 hype before it was released. I didn't have enough money to buy it when it first went on sale and I almost borrowed some money to get it, thankfully I decided not to. I put a saved search on eBay to see what would happen - The RRP of the EP-133 was £299. Initially the prices of new units on eBay starting hitting upwards of £600, and people were buying them too. After a month, prices were down to RRP on eBay. Today I'm seeing people trying to shift them for £250 or lower in a couple of cases. Need it right now? No you don't. Wait until the reviews hit after a couple of months, wait until the hype has died and then if you're still into it, go for it. Patience is your friend.

I got my Novation Circuit maybe late 2016 my first synth/groovebox…I started freestyle-in then writing songs…then went to the studio started buying beats and got inspired by my beat guy to try and make track beats now I’m trying to add a little to my at home studio and produce my own music and upload to Distrokid…Whoop There It Is 🎹🎤🎶🔊‼️
