A chilled out jam

I've got myself a new camera! Woot!
I've picked up a Zoom Q8n camera as a little upgrade to my old Zoom Q2n (A great little camera that has served me well, slightly rubbish video quality, but the audio quality is awesome!)
The new camera lets me run balanced XLR audio directly from the synth straight into the camera. In theory this might result in slightly better audio quality, but it definitely means I have a few more options for camera placement in the future (If I run anything longer than a 1.5m unbalanced cable, I get a hell of a lot of noise, so the old camera had to be very close to the synth!)
This jam isn't much of anything really, just a bit of gig practice for my dates in June.
Big thank you to everyone who’s subscribed and signed up for memberships, it’s because of your support that I can now afford small upgrades like a new camera! 🙏

Damn man, you do not rest! Each week a new masterpiece...

Awesome mix! Got some bitey Lorn like sounds around @17:30, love it!

West coast buchla 259 oscillator clone, and some vactrol based low pass gates for the win! :)

Оооооооооуууу! Прям мёд на душу! Maaan, this hits all the right spots in my soul! Thank you SO much for this!

[@W1tch3R_85]

It really isnt anything but nice ;) Thanks for the cookie, i like how you arrange the sound bubbles... floating through the virtual room, combining with each other, separating, disappering, changing.. Nice Nice ;) EDIT: Since this is the music around here, which i like the most [beeing a guitar and piano player, listening to music during work almost all day].. hand made and original from your creative mind, i decided to be a member of your channel. Not necessarely to buy you a pint.. but maybe that one cable of that one particular sound, that enters the room like a ship pushing through the wall of my living room with the unbelievable force of its weight..

[@robthebloke]

Thanks mate! This is a recording upgrade I’ve wanted to do for a while. I now know that any noise I hear is coming from something I need to fix on the synth, rather that something from the recording, which is super nice! I don’t want to try and rinse people for cash, which is why the membership levels are as low as I can set them on KZbin land. It just helps me to justify spending money on an upgrade or two that I wouldn’t usually have bothered with! Again, thanks mate! It’s appreciated! :)

As said in other uploads, amazing and this time again, Fat rythm and could listen for hours to your performances.

Bloody fantastic, mate! The beat drop was perfect. The tiny touch of Jarré, quickly submersed ... All around brilliance! Love it all.

But fr, the vibes I am getting from the first track alone are subtly Magic Sword like. I love myself some Magic Sword

I love this. Its very calming to me and something about it reminds me of outer world memory repair ? just so strange lol

Great sound, i love it. Your channel is wonderfull. Thank you. Greetings from Germany 🙂👍

[@attkdecayrels]

so glad this came up in my reccomended! awesome patches!!

[@foxyj.j.4360]

Nice set up, with all this modular and wires. Just curious, why is an extra cable near by you on standby, reade for use? 😊

[@robthebloke]

whenever I play a gig, I pre-sort my cables into 4 piles by length. It’s a lot easier than trying to untangle a cable I need from a big random pile! I’m prepping for a few gigs in June, one of which will be a 4 hour marathon! I’ll probably end up using most of the piles for that one 😂

It’s is a data bender ;)

I don’t get how you do it? Why not use a DAW?

[@robthebloke]

I’ve spent everyday for the last 25 years working on a computer for a day job. Going computer-less, daw-less, midi-less, and relying entirely on old school voltages in my spare time appeals to me I guess?

Broo minute and a half long unskippable ad what the heck sick beat though

[@robthebloke]

Sorry mate! I only have 3 choices for ads: 1. none at all (= no income at all) 2. Ads at beginning & end only (+ YT premium income) 3. Ads every few minutes :( I’ve set all my videos to option 2. Sadly I can’t control what ads are shown, or how long they last I’m afraid! At least you’ll always know that once the music starts, there won’t be any ads at all (which might be slightly more exciting for a 4 hour gig I’ll be uploading next month!)

[@diqital_aviator]

@@robtheblokeNot at all! Not your fault whatsoever, just an unusual sight for me! I love synth videos like this - really my kinda style and taste. Keep it up, man! :)) Can't wait for the upcoming vid!

[@robthebloke]

@@diqital_aviator honestly, if I could remove ads completely and just have an option for YT premium income, trust me I would have it on that setting! YT can be horribly aggressive with its ads (and it has clearly been getting worse recently!). Once upon a time I recall being able to watch a boiler room gig all the way through without ads, which was nice. Sucks now though! Honestly though, I could probably milk this channel for a bit more revenue if I really wanted, but I don’t really want too! 😂 The rig is probably in need of a couple of upgrades soonish, but having the little bit of YT income helps to justify the cost a little bit more in my head; and I’m ok with that as a fair balance :) Anyhow, glad you enjoy the tunes. Im not really here to become some international musician, I’m just here to have fun! (And hopefully others have some fun too!) 🥸

[@diqital_aviator]

@@robtheblokeDefinitely! I post my music and I don't expect a lot, but recently I've been getting a little bit more popular than before (I'm still only on about 2000 plays/song) but it's a start (I make no money). Music is just so fun for me and so expressive no matter how many people tell me how bad I am at it

[@robthebloke]

Soo… bit of an update. YT auctions off ad placement on my channel. This comment coincided with a silly spike in the going rate! (Almost 3x higher than I’ve ever seen it before!) Apologies for the length of the ad, but if it helps in anyway, know that someone somewhere, spent a silly amount of money on that ad!
