For 2K i rather get a Brenso, Spectraphone, TME Vikh X and then another $400 in utilities lol, BUT! for $500 I'd but the smaller Percussa XMX runnng the same engine! Especially now that technobear is making the trax UI for it

This is good music \m/

Rockin' the RoAT!!!!!

What an awesome journey buddy.. RoAT is one of my favourite pieces of gear ever! I love everything about this session but expecially the Wether Drones pairing! Thanks for sharing Love your channel!

love the intro 'steam' sound, that's pretty nice! that's the type of noise I'm after.. this Soma ROAT synth was on my radar though have never tried it. your boat looks nice as well! and you know waht i'm gonna get the speak&glitch GND 1T soon

It's a familiar saying “that thing is a beast!” For the ROAT it's totally true, that thing is terrifying! I'd be afraid to touch it…lest it bite me! That ghastly monster breathing sound at the beginning is the creepiest thing you've ever created, Reg. Congratulations, 😬. The sci-fi middle part was enjoyable…but horror returns at the end with what I imagine are the kind of sounds you'd would hear going down something's throat. Oh, man, 🤢. Well, I give a 👍‼️ to this, Reg, even though it leaves me kinda queasy. Hopefully calm and peace will overpower the darkness in the circuits next time. I hope so, 😳.

Such lovely noisiness! At 2:10 it sounds like we were going down similar paths.. I love how it morphs into space jazz in the middle.

Another fascinating journey. I see the good old Olegtron there ... that must be the one device you've kept the longest at this point.

Cool video, Reg......!! And the 'tune' is much different than what you usually do. The Dry Ice circuit is a good addition to your mini synths. Just amazing sounds. You nailed this offering. And good to see you back in it and went deeper with new sounds. Keep doing what you do, Reg....!

Wonderful best wishes ❤❤

This must be pretty sick combo! so nice that everything is battery powered. oh nice sound, good job!

Yep its lean.

A candlelight synth seance? You summoned some nifty dark cinematic soundtrack sounds there at the beginning, Reg, cool, 👍‼️ Then...then some traffic jam ambience, 😬! That was a shock. Hey, maybe you channelled the spirit of a dead Chevy reliving traffic jam memories of commutes in years past. You never know what's gonna pop up when you tap into the hidden realms, man! Well, at least Alistair Crowley didn't start speaking through your gizmos. 👹!

Wow, Reg, there are lots of voices you don't hear every day. And yes, this will definitely send you on a space odyssey. That's good stuff.

Woo! Cool, groovy, and mysterious! I might have to dust off my RoAT again because after about a month of testing, I wasn't very impressed with it.

RoAT is one of the best pieces of gear ever.. Almost endless sonic possibilities.. Thanks for sharing 👍

Excellent exploration! Soma Labs has made the perfect device for your ever-searching mind.

Angry or not. This is a great performance Reggie. Wish you all the best for 2025 👍👍👍

I'm too angry to leave a comment.!!! Not really. I used to be an angry young man, then a semi-angry middle-aged man, and now, as an old man, I don't get angry anymore. (I get even.....but only if it is worthy of my revenge....lol...) Nice angry tune, Reg. Sounded mean. Even the video was mean. Outstanding job. Rock on, Reg...

not angry 🥲 but very nice arrangement, I like it!

Im going to use tbis loud and dirty music as my anger soundtrack. Pretty powerful stuff!

Yes, yes I have, Reg. Just this morning when I checked the thermometer and it said it was ZERO DEGREES outside!!! Oh, I was angry alright! ZERO?!?! 🤬 Well, you can't fight the weather so... Being angry too much is like worrying too much. If you can't change what's bugging you then just forget it. Affect it, change it if you can or forget it, ignore it. That's what I do with winter, try not to go outside or look out the window, man. Sit inside and mess with music and stuff. And watch KZbin, like your dark cool music vid here, 👍‼️ Other than the winter thing everything's good enough for me at the moment. Hope you're enjoying your Florida living and everything's cool for you, Reggie Reg!

Good stuff! The M8 and Syntakt seem to be good matches for the R.Hampton style. Seems like you're feeling pretty inspired from listening to the recent music you've been putting out..

Another whole sonic journey! You sure do keep things interesting, Reg. Appreciate the extra effort that went into crafting those changes & shifts in mood - so much more than just a repeating loop. I gotta put more effort into my own stuff.

oh wow! you got the m8 too! these are sounding gr8 together :) The synth drum sounds are really cool too.

You've created intense energy in this video and the poem is epic. That M8 looks like a powerful little device!

Outstanding, Reg..! All the instruments, voices and glitches in one tune. Truely one of your best and most creative. You sir are back.! My first post didn't get saved. Here's the 2nd and hope it does..... YT = sigh..... And I read your poem. Good stuff.! You could try your hand at lyrics. Put it to a tune and be famous.!

Well, I have to say that's one for the books, Reg... There are many instruments, voices and glitches in this one. Quite pleasing to the ears. (Mind too, but my mind has gone somewhere I do not know.) Yup, this is one good mix of it all. Outstanding, Reg....! And I read your poem, thought it was pretty good. You could write lyrics and I can try to make a song out of it. Naw, let us stick with what we know.......synths....

I think nowadays depression is a lot related in how the social networks alienates us and transforms us into content creator (when you posting) and product consumer (buying of course but watching and feeding the algorithm profiler too) forgoting our ultimate task in this life that is being human and explore with honesty and clear vision what the human experience is. Hope you get well soon. Everything is temporary. Take care

Wow! What a mixture! Great textures and tones. Love it

ohhh you've got the m8!! I've always been wanting one since v1, though I'm not a tracker guy. Do you like it? would be a long keeper? the ending part is nice.

Ok... 😦 ...well... I understood everything up until I started reading your poem, Reg. It's gonna take me a while to decipher that one. I'll have to work on that, 😬. Music needs no translation of course and I was able to fully dig your high energy sonic statement. Energy transmitted, energy recieved, 👍‼️ Some of that, especially at the end was some pretty dark energy. But hey, energy is energy, it all does work in one way or another. Sometimes the effects may not even be noticeable. We'll see what effect the absorption of your sonic energy has on me. I hope I don't start seeing evil eyes everywhere! 🫣

Really digging this part. Wow. Great groove. Sounds dope. Sort of Lo Fi, sounding, and has that almost 80s video game feel to it. Love it.

Sorry, Reg.....Left a message but YT didn't save it. The usual. Anyway the jazz part is super cool. And I already forgot what I said in the first message, so I'll just say I'm the king of depression.....!!!

Thanks for this Very Special Episode ... I had bouts with depression ("mild" I guess) when I was younger. There is a documented tendency for most people to level out as they get older, so the main mission has to be: SURVIVE. Get through it. Every situation in life is temporary. It will change, and when you're at the bottom, any change has to be an improvement. It's just very hard to remember this when you're in the depths of depression because the disease impairs your thinking ability and makes you believe there's no hope. Not being alone helps, but then again being stuck with a toxic person can make things worse. Everybody has to find a coping mechanism that works for them. I was on medication for a little while, and it did make the symptoms go away but I also didn't feel like me when I was on it, and I didn't like that.

The solution to depression isn't trying to convince yourself that everything is ok, because it isn't and everybody knows it deep down. Even if everything in your life is currently hunky dory you know damn well it ain't gonna last forever. No, the solution to depression is being able to deal with the crap when it inevitably happens. The only cure for depression I can think of is a massive dose of LOVE! My advice: listen to Reach Out (I'll Be There) by the Four Tops. Dig that cool Motown groove and do what it says. Just keep reaching out, you'll find love somewhere. Great message and vid, Reg! And of course cool music, 👍👍‼️

Unfortunately there are a few Generations of people who were used as Guinea Pigs by the Psychiatric Pharmaceutical Companies who lied to Psychiatrists about these new drugs for Depression and Anxiety, told them these new SRI , SSRI Medications were safe and non-addictive. Also lied about all the Benzodiazepines which are extremely addictive and very dangerous class of drugs used to treat anxiety, Valium, Xanax, Klonopin and another one whose name escapes me at the moment which is short acting and starts with an A. These Psychiatric Drugs are TERRIBLE for your Brain and cause Anhedonia among other things if you stay on them for too long. Then you can't get off of them because your body has become addicted. This is what's happening to me. Try getting off any Benzodiazepine ! The longer you take an Anti-anxiety Medication the more difficult and dangerous it is to attempt titrating off of them. I've been trying to get off of Klonopin for 3 years. Tapering slowly. Each person is different plus it depends upon how long you've been taking them. Pharmaceutical Companies never informed the Psychiatric Doctors about ANY OF THESE ISSUES NOR DID THEY TELL THE DOCTORS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ON ANTI-ANXIETY MEDS FOR NO LONGER THAN 2 WEEKS!!! Two years ago Pharmaceutical Companies finally told Doctors about the dangers of their Anti-depressants AND their Anti-anxiety Drugs which should have had a Black Box on every type they made. There are several Generations of people now who are walking around worse off than they ever were before because their Brains have been destroyed as well as their lives because of these idiotic drugs and the terrible thoughtless money hungry people who developed and sold each one of these Brain destroying Pharmaceutical products.

nice ride buddy. i recently got a 2014 srt8 plumb crazy with 24500mi. still fresh. sucks it's winter time now. enjoy!

Laid-back and soothing yet also groovy.

This is lovely! 😍

Sweet and fun video 🔥 make that noise ✌️ subscribed ✨️

Wow Reg, that was insanely great. Super relaxing space/tripnotic jam. Almost thought I was listening to a professional mix, it's that good. Only one small problem, way low volume. No biggie though and you can always raise the volume with a program. I use Wavecut, but there's a ton of them out there (free too). You can raise the volume up 200% from what it was. Anyway, outstanding.......and another coming in a week. Means I have to get busy and make some tunes myself. I'm just so lazy.....

Nice soft sound! Is it pure upgrade from the mc-101 of which I reckon you've loved much? I mean of course big screen and more buttons but how do you feel the difference for constructing ideas?

Reg "Mr. Variety" Hampton does it again! Prog-fusion-jazz-rock-industrial, it's all in there. All melded together into your unique trademark cool style. You're the only player I sub to that makes me think that I could be listening to Chick Corea or Herbie Hancock. C'mon, Reg, no false modesty, you know it's true! 👍‼️

He's playing a little more slower it's nice to see

I can't wait to see you again Allan Holdsworth in Jehovah Yahweh God kingdom

Amazing! I am loving the sounds of the Syntakt, but it's cool that no matter what gear you use, you manage to always have your signature sound and style attached. Well done!!

Most excellent tune, Reg.... One of your better-than-usual ones. Very different. Hell of a jam. Sci-Fi ? Looked real to me. But then again I'm pretty odd and Sci-Fi'ish myself. Glad to hear you're back making tunes. Missed you for awhile. So, hows driving that Challenger to work?? All your peers must be a bit envious.....!

I felt there were some somber moments in this piece. Nice work!❤

Another good one! Changes mood every 30 seconds, keeps me guessing what's gonna be next!
