Analog Heat - Sound Examples Tutorial

Please view in HD = audio is higher quality in HD.
Hello. Today I took some serious time with the Analog Heat. In this video I'm feeding it with mostly just one keyboard patch (from the Analog Keys), and showing the different qualities and characteristics of the different analog distortion circuits, EQ and filters in the Analog Heat.
I hope to give you a "complete" feel for the sound sculpting capabilities of the Heat simply by using just one input throughout most of the demonstration. In particular I love it for its bass sounds, but it's quite versatile beyond just bass and fuzzy distortion. I find it highly useful.

This is by far the only tutorial about the Analog Heat that really makes sense. The first time someone managed to explain what it is all about rather than just distort some drum grooves and other loops. Thank you so much Cuckoo! All of a sudden that little box makes a lot of sense :)

[@DORMAMMUFIRE]

i love how everything you play brings me back to segue scenes in castlevania SNES

[@PerfectCircuit]

Cuckoo is THEEE Coolest !

[@Buildingempires101]

The Synths are switched off, the beer is open and the headphones are on. Thanks man, another great video :-)

[@kennyh9704]

Finest tutorial-maker on the interwebz!

[@emmyelijah7395]

cuckoomusic: Your passion for sounds is infectious! You're a gem.

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Excellent demo a pleasure to listen to and watch.

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks a lot Adamski!

[@alienanxiety]

Great tut! I love how your little jam songs here all sound like retro video game "stage clear" songs. :)

[@truecuckoo]

+alienanxiety ha ha ha.. I should start a Stage clear songs on demand service :)

[@jamesgibbs572]

I think this demo has finally sold me on the Analog Heat. Cheers Cuckoo, another fantastic video! I keep going backwards and forwards between this and Elysia Karacter 500. I prefer Karacter tonal qualities (personal preference), however functionality of the Heat is pretty damn good.

32:00 reminded me of a Jon Lord style organ. Thank you Cockoo for the sound examples.

[@TheEpicSymphony]

You tackle this tutorial like some people would probably love to tackle it (which is by fiddling around with the knobs)

1.01.15.... wow... love this sound! Great tutorial! Thank You!

[@BjornDiffus]

Greetings from Göteborg! Bought me a Heat yesterday, it´s Amazing together with my TB-3 to get those realy dirty basslines. Gonna explore it more together with the A Rytm an A keys. Thanks for Great Tutorials!

[@truecuckoo]

+Bjorn Diffus cool, you're welcome!

[@tusk1_]

You are just awesome. Love your videos.

[@daikuone]

My Heat arrives on Saturday, can't wait!

[@nandodolleman7819]

damn the way you play,, so inspiring! small tunes with so much potential! Came for the Heat, stayed for the jam. 2020 maybe I should consider this for my synths?

[@RandomRabOfficial]

Phenomenal walk through. This video really helped me make this purchase and also gave me some great ideas. Really, thank you so much for taking the time to makes this. It's about to get HOT in here!!!

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks mate! Glad you found it helpful! :D

[@Ferrichrome]

I love the sounds when you hold the box up😂

[@invanorm]

Love the sounds at 1:00:00

[@MrSNEAKFREAK96]

I feel like this sounds much more contained and digital, compared to a distortion pedal. Definitely has a bunch of useful features though. I would probably use it most for light saturation/enhancement.

[@eddy_sonik]

I LOVE ! 💚

[@stephendelacruzone]

Nice hardware to make analog-y!👍

[@AsleepPete]

Just realised you're Norwegian, thought your English was very convincing! Great video anyway

[@JarrodFerris]

This was a great MOVIE. :D I find the Heat to be very addictive. I hope Elektron releases another box like this that deal with reverb and delay. Analog Echo?

[@LaymensLament]

[@simonyricools]

Thank you, Cuckoo. I might have to get me one of these.

[@moehrimus]

10:40 must be from the filter-dirt?!!

[@chris.dillon]

Mega man at 50:41. \m/ Overall, great demo.

[@floncyb5436]

You are cool

[@beatchildproductions]

BAHAHAH!!!! Its a mirror... At first I thought it was a picture in picture video edit of his face. Very clever...

[@manfrombkk]

I think Bugge Wesseltoft would find this really interesting. Do you personally know him? He's collaborated with so many talented and musically diverse people. You and he together would be really interesting. For people who have not heard of him, he is one of, if not the most famous NuJazz greats of Norway. Plays the the piano and Fender Rhodes like Wow, and is definitely into experimentation with combing analogue and digital.

[@truecuckoo]

+Gary Wells thanks Gary. I've just briefly said hello to him once. I think I'm like totally "below his league" of super skilled jazz instrumentalists though.

[@manfrombkk]

Not @ all. You are a humble but Extreamly creative and talented person. IMHO, he could gain some interesting and valuable knowledge from from watching your creative noodling, especially with the Elektron gear.

[@lucamaglio5166]

amazing video!!! I have a question about this product: I saw that is possible use it like soundcard. you can record the input (both dry and wet); is also possible send audio via Overbridge as an effect insert in Ableton, and at the same time send the main out of ablaton?? Thanks!!!! bighug

[@bgoodism]

In your opinion if I already have an Octatrack MKII would it be a good idea to also purchase the Analog Heat? I understand the OT has similar effects but this seems a lot more precise and targeted at manipulating and adjusting those effects.

[@Jeremy-su3xy]

AH has all the effects, then what do I do with my precious OT?

[@asynchronicity]

Couldn't find any LFO exploration but great otherwise 👍

[@daikuone]

At 52:00, can you have the distortion circuit drop out gradually as you move up hte keyboard from the bass? Is that a follower selection choice? Also, what is the patch you are using at 1:00:28? Very interesting and complex. Did you build that one? Is it a Patreon patch?

[@truecuckoo]

You could use the frequency base and width settings, that I'm using around 40:00 for that. It's not as accurate as keyboard tracking, but you can definitely use it. The patch I'm using is probably "Far Far Away", or another one similar to that. Can't remember the name right now. I think it's part of my last patch pack, or my next one ;-)

[@danpreston564]

Couple of random thoughts. Firstly at 39:50 ish you're using the Env page to send the env to the filter when this is hardwired in the filter page, and don't you get tired turning those encoders without pressing them down? Enjoying the vid very much though, tonight was my first night with the Heat, it is a beast!

[@truecuckoo]

The endless UI encoders are extremely high resolution and fine. Most of the time I'm pressing them down to navigate faster. But in this video I was turning them a lot without pushing them down, didn't it :) The "analog" encoders have a min/max state. They're quite solid, and with a great deal of resistance to turn actually.

[@danpreston564]

cuckoomusic yeah I was shocked at the resistance of the analog pots. Nice, though.

[@gbarkas]

"The BS Filter" :D

[@mumulove]

I'll have the roast duck with mango salsa

[@andreaxyz3959]

Dude, how much do u want for that t shirt?

[@truecuckoo]

+andreaxyz the rocket space t-shirt? It's just one of my T-shirts mate. ;-)

[@andreaxyz3959]

I need one for my Sunday mornings in outer space 😎✨
