This thing is a really nice complement to the Pulsar-23. 4 channels, Sequences drums well, can do notes for the bass voice, and all the mod capabilities.

[@thomasswoodward]

I don't think I have the disposable income required to watch this channel. Talk about G.A.S.

[@hasanodom4268]

I used to, then this channel, knobs, loopop and Andrew Huang happened. Gotta turn off my internet and re-up on currency.

[@vprice509]

No foolin'. I have stumbled upon a solution. It is working, at least for now. Every day it's something else. Seriously, I find a new bit of ESSENTIAL gear all the time. Recently it has been small modular/ semi-modular. The Kastle 1.5 seems very cool. But then I think, yeah but what about Volca Modular? It's not THAT much more. Yeah, but I'd really like the 0-Coast I think. And now I'm up to $500... But what about the Drumbrute Impact I was drooling over a few days ago? So I can't make a decision. And if I feel like pulling the trigger on some gear, all I have to do is see what Stimming, Gabe Miller, Andrew Huang, Ricky Tinez, Loopop, RMR and friends are up to. And then I find something new to obsess about.

[@OldAlley]

I just stick with the ones i really like and sell old gear i dont like (anymore) or don’t need anymore

[@PaulBoos]

Thanks for pairing this with the 0-Coast. I got Noodlebox from the Kickstarter and this really showed me a few things to consider with it that I hadn't. Looking forward to diving deeper in it.

[@brantholeman]

I'm glad to see you enjoy something cool like the Noodlebox.

[@kalubandali2241]

Looks awesome :) Great company making good products. Thanks for the Demo.

[@KevinVelazquezAniPower]

So many audio interfaces and instruments on your channel, I imagine your studio is awesome

[@FilmoreISnAZN]

The subtitles read “Red Beans Recording” and at first I thought it was a typo, but then realized this overview is for the “noodlebox” and now I don’t know what to believe anymore.

[@bmwolfe2786]

holy shit, it’s a beat making etchasketch! That thing is awesome, never seen it before.

[@Feanarth]

Holy crap the UI on this thing is super smooth and cool AF!

[@WhileWeWereSleeping]

One surprising use I found for it is coming up with precision parts. 1.Come up with a groove 2. Sample it 3. Play with the loop start/end/direction and overlay on top of your sample. Fun quick way of coming up with new grooves

[@tihkal]

bought one cause of this vid. love this thing! awesome overview ty

[@NeekoTheFreeko]

First time seeing it here, thanks Jeremy. That looks like my new friend for sure! Great stuff as always, oh the possibilities .. I was really turned on by the look of each " active variable" on it's display. Almost retro-smashing-esque. Hearts.

[@ifaber68]

Very beautiful Sequencer!

[@Tolognabullets]

Heck yeah. I've been waiting for this spicy Tetris for a while now.

[@BrewerShettles]

Appreciate your taking the time to show how you use Noodle Box - Going to watch this video over and over and over again!! Fun Request - can show how you do Noodle Box sequencing in the Moog Werkstatt-01 (From Build to ACID) Video. That is awesome too!!

[@SyncdAlien]

Very cool stuff, thank you for the demo!

[@leftmono1016]

This looks really useful. I've got their Arpie and Pclone2 and product support has been excellent :)

[@arkkisarkki]

Interesting little sequencer. Mixolydian is major with a minor seventh btw.

[@jxtajxta2083]

Eso, ya me estaba matando la neurosis :B

[@midierror]

Luxury gear! Super demo, I am wants this one

[@paulriggs42]

Hi Jeremy ! You are a bad man ! More goodies we need but can’t have...stop it now ! Looks like a nice interactive piece of kit !

[@katelikesrectangles]

Thanks Jeremy, that was very nice :)

[@Lobbogurke]

Love the d20s in the left upper corner!

[@AbyssalPantheon]

I’m really glad you decided to try this unit out. I hadn’t heard of it before your video but have been thinking about for quite a while since then. I’m happy to say the my noodlebox arrives on Monday. Your semi modular video convinced me to switch to embracing semi modular. I can’t wait to get this thing hooked up to my 0-coast/Strega, Pico system 3, and Erebus V3. Looks like this should handle those devices pretty well.

[@ctop]

This looks really cool! Anyone know if and when they'll be selling these? Looks like I missed out on the crowdfunding part

[@sonicultura]

Bought mine a few months ago so glad! Did you get yours? There is so much more to it than you see in the video

[@TheLucjam]

Sixty Four Pixels is the company. They are out of stock atm. Probably due to the chip shortage I should think.

[@SloreTactician]

I’ve got one for sale

[@aquaticborealis4877]

Yeah looks like a fun interface. Really like the screen and the large text.

[@Kae6502]

Noodledox? Looks like a lot of fun and not a bad price point either.

[@AgonalRhythm]

That display looks so crisp... Really satisfying my money brain to look at 😳

[@evanmagill9114]

3:07 "that thing's a mess, I've got hairs, fingerprints..." Yes, Jeremy. The authorities will find you. Your crimes have not gone unnoticed.

[@OriginalJetForMe]

That thing looks so neat it makes me want to get into mod synth. Nope too many projects!!

[@StephenMcLeod]

Ah great, so now I need to get one of these. Dang.

[@sumocloud]

Didn't know about this, looks so good. Is there a button combo to randomise the whole pattern? Eurorack has made me allergic to intentionality

[@BrewerShettles]

Echo and Ocoast are great. it's the Mod Superstar that counts!!!

[@criminimalj1897]

Look like fun. I love fun, complimentary products for the minimal amout of semi modular gear i have. Wonder how it would sound on my Erebus V3 or Grandmother.

[@WhileWeWereSleeping]

I got one and it’s great to use with any synth. A fun way to come up with patterns and even creat much longer absolving patterns

[@BrewerShettles]

Guitarist here - Amazing world

[@DavidDeLuge]

What a great combination. Have you checked out the 0-CTRL, which Make Noise, I guess, primarily intended for the 0-COAST?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Not yet!

[@SirSybian]

I bought a noodlebox because of this video :)))))))

[@7177YT]

Quirky sequencer video by RMR? Yes pls! Completel unrelated: I'd love a live set from scratch video using whatever synths you'd wanna use, but preferably Drummachine + X (;

[@brunosteccanella339]

T57gr g tcv v0vvv

[@jimlampshady]

Looks like an enormously fun rabbit hole to get lost down. I'd be interested to see how you might use it in an actual production context. Would you use it to trigger multiple devices? At the same time?

[@stephanmobius1380]

I adore you. How on earth do you _never_ tire of learning the Interfaces of new gear??? How do you cram all of this in your head? I have to constantly relearn my stuff !

[@RedMeansRecording]

It can definitely be tough and sometimes I just don't get along with something, but there is a lot of really smart design these days!

[@G8tr1522]

I've found that learning more interfaces & workflows is like learning programming languages. First one, you don't fully understand it unless you spend a LOT of time on it. Second one, you find it frustrating because it isn't what you're used to. 3rd one, not perfect, but you notice how much easier it is to learn it. At some point you are learning new ones with very few breaks to 'look this up' and you learn to appreciate each one for its strengths and weaknesses. So moral of the story: learning different interfaces reinforces the fundamentals and allows you to learn and understand new stuff very quickly.

[@edgarm6017]

This feels like a great compromise between 0ctrl & keystep pro

[@Liquidfusionvideo]

Can I do the same thig as you with a Werkstatt01 and / or a Moog 25?

[@grahamjohnson3884]

I've recently ditched all my modular hardware sequencers. I use an iPad and a Polyend Poly 2 interface. Check out the sequencers available on the iPad, simpler and way more interactive.

[@lesterhein1]

First off- this is great. Second - I don’t have the cash for more stuff. Or the space. Third - for the other people in the same boat as me, go and check Riffer.

[@_skysick_]

Has a little in common with NDLR, but also the Eloquencer...

[@slemsvamp]

My daily dose of Red Beans Recording :O

[@AndreGMendes]

Nice to see more midi sequencing hardware coming out. This one looks great. Btw does this allow for storing presets and later recall them from Bank/PC? And if so does it also stores any live tweaking parameters within the selected preset? (I haven't got time yet to see the full video maybe you explaing it later on... anyway i will when i get home) :) Thanks

[@RedMeansRecording]

Yeah it can save stuff

[@Werbeperlen]

Noodledox vs. Noodlebox 🤟

[@Nomo_Popo]

cool

[@noisehead]

I dont get why this is not mountable in eurorack :D -but a nice sequencer! If you have any that you currently use that you can recommend i would apprechiate your opinion :)

[@RedMeansRecording]

Rene, moskwa, arpitecht, metron

[@turingsghost]

I know the pulse of the LEDs is just caused by the camera not syncing with the refresh rate, but it's _very_ pretty. It glitters...

[@RedMeansRecording]

Yeah it's a camera thing but it is pretty cool!

[@alexcrouse]

Under $1000? Amazingly! Sold out? OF COURSE.

[@sawtooth808]

And cue the sad trombone 😢

[@Liquidfusionvideo]

What cables are you using? Thanks!!!

[@RedMeansRecording]

GLS or seismic audio

[@AkeArnouts]

Hey Jeremy, how does it compare to the deluge?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Not comparable at all. The deluge is a full daw in a box and this is just a sequencer

[@rdomain]

Looks like a pretty nifty sequencer and good use of the screen and parameter hud. The constant delay running through out was a bit much for me though as it muddied exactly what the sequencer was doing. Would be nice to hear it clearly. Oh and mixolydian isn't a minor type scale. It's a major with a flat 7. :)

[@Keysounds0]

Wait, what is it called

[@6or7breadsticks]

Can you play snake? Games that build sequences would be cool

[@RedMeansRecording]

Rene by make noise has a snake mode :)

[@ShouriSeifuku]

Hey, quick tip for your future videos as I've seen this happen on more than one of your current videos. It would be awesome if you actually start these videos explaining the most basic things of these devices before you get into beat making. For example: Start by explaining the input/outputs and what you've connected and where. You tend to jump in immediately into making a beat and call it an introduction, but you fail to explain some of the basics of the devices. It's like explaining any basic process. 1. Hardware 2. Connections 3. Let's make a beat! Simple, yet effective. I watch your videos and tend to stop 2 minutes in as I'm already lost and move on to someone else.

[@warrenrousseau4601]

Ohhhh so early :D

[@JesseSep.]

Red Beans Recording

[@defdac]

I have a feeling Hainbach would love some Noodlebox.

[@voicedrifter]

This nogginpoodle is pretty neat and all, but I'm triggered by your micro-agression in the top left calling me an "ass" for half the video.

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

but I guess there's to few cv/mod outputs

[@iNuchalHead]

22:25 FSM LOL

[@thelevicole]

The UI kinda reminds me of Xynthesizer.

[@RedMeansRecording]

yes!

[@KiddsockTV]

you could noodle around for hours with that... in a box.. LOL

[@CaidicusProductions]

One very sour person disliked this video. Hahahahaha Great video, Jeremy. Thanks for always putting out entertaining content.

[@bigtiredkeith]

Oh no. I hate when I see cool stuff that I don't need that would look perfect on my gear desk.

[@BinauralBae]

Red means Cat Norm.

[@brendansharp1]

biddlybong boooo!

[@geraldhenderson8474]

Mixolydian is major.

[@chriscopeman8820]

So many toys, so little time.

[@surfthetsunami5596]

Sorry to be like a grammar Nazi but mixolydian has a major third yo. I know, who cares. Your videos are great and I appreciate what you do very much. Had taught me a lot. But lydian and mixolydian have major thirds.

[@RedMeansRecording]

yeah, i got it wrong!

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

dammit, should've backed their campaign

[@dwilliams4142]

Adzuki means recording.

[@zootheory9647]

needs a real midi socket

[@VMStraka]

Great video as always but I don't think it's a good idea to demo a sequencer with a delay on it...

[@RedMeansRecording]

delay and reverb go on everything, sorry.

[@naotakegymnasium]

noodledox

[@apparently_sonam]

No coast or zero coast, as it covers both east and west coast synthesis. Oh coast isnt a thing! 😉

[@RedMeansRecording]

Oh Coast

[@tarcil]

Nooooo don’t make me buy more stuff!!

[@JoshBrand]

noooooodle
