Artiphon Instrument One review

[@rillloudmother]

Let the guitar player try it: plays it like it's an F'n dulcimer...

[@richackerman9782]

I'll wait and find one for twenty bucks at a garage sale.

[@jimchumley6568]

Rich Ackerman Yeah and then use it for target practice.

[@pantherman74kd]

does it have the sitar sound?

[@Randydaudt]

$10.00 too much!

[@anthonycardott3541]

yeah i get a feeling it's a fancy yamaha psr, especially when the drum kit comes on

[@nick4985]

you would have been ripped off when the end product sounds like a cheap kids toy !

[@quintas66]

Sounds like something from Radio Shack that you got for xmas in the 1980s and forgot about a week later.

[@Emanual0607]

Kevin Cowell lol!!!!!

[@cscfpv6221]

It doesnt sound like anything...it doesnt produce sound. And yes, now knowing how it works or what it does, you would probably put it down within a week. A musician can put it to use though.

[@jimh9617]

the best kind of electronic sounds.

[@Jenalgo]

I hate click bait.

[@junewilkerson2349]

Internet Quality Police the irony is strong

[@petercgeere4054]

I use chicken hearts to bait catfish; better than click bait. Really. You should try it. Bye for now!

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Horny nigga alert

[@funkyarabesk]

Did they provide for left hands as well ?

[@caseylevier1830]

In the drum demo at 2:48 it seems like it double hits, like on cheap 4x4 controllers, where a single note awkwardly drags on. I really want this but that’s always been a sign of a cheaply made controller. Please let me know if this isn’t the case. I’d love to be wrong.

[@circleJerkin68]

This actually looks pretty dope to play around with, I bought a 300 dollar keytar just to play around with and it’s super fun to mess with even tho most the reviews said it was more of a toy then a serious instrument, I didn’t care I’m not trying to make music with it it’s just fun to play with.... I can see myself fucking around with this thing for hours high or drunk asf

[@theoasim]

Very nice video! Congrats! May i ask which is the speaker i see in the video? Thanks!

[@Drefromthebay84]

This is one of the coolest things I ever seen for song writing wile at home.looks like it works well and you can sit down and recorder every track for every instrument in pre production before you pass it over to the band.game changer

[@Deepriver100]

Clip of classic BB King/Eric Clapton live performance, maybe 160,000 views. Clip of babe with long blonde hair: 1,621,525 views. (Except when you click on it you get a couple of Good Old Boys plonking on a synthesizer-banjo gizmo...) Ha! Clickbait rules!

[@IDontReadReplies42069]

I was promised a cute girl in the thumbnail.

[@lumi225]

she’s right there 😍😍

[@MateoBakija]

Ikr instead we get this scarecrow

[@JedF2010]

Wow, she has really let herself go :(

[@hayleebennett6596]

And this is how we distinguish men that are going places compared to the simple minded simps.

[@chrisdrummond8893]

Jayo Caine Yeah I'm annoyed.

[@mrwayne9799]

The Thumbnail was the best part of the whole video.

[@AustinTexas6thStreet]

I could hear a Thousand voices in unison all cry out: MEH!!

[@mobius8002]

casio did something like this about 25 years ago ,it was guitar shaped though. rubber fret board and moulded in strings . it was quite glitch and a bit crap and was expensive . it may have been 30 years . look it up on the net

[@RedfishInc]

It sounds amazing, I'd love to see someone play it who has mastered it.

[@nick4985]

Woody?

[@FictitiousCtrlGames]

I actually think this is neat for those that play synth and want to learn guitar. Or those that play synth, but want to play rock or metal influenced music.

[@WutangBizkit]

what about palm muting? nd when u want to mute ur strings im between chords or whatever, would that work?

[@HAWXLEADER]

How much time does these fret buttons(the bulging ones) last? They seem easy to break/tear... Is this durable?

[@bledlbledlbledl]

I saw something similar to that (a synthesizer in the form of a fretted "guitar") on sale at one of the big shopping malls in Roanoke, sometime around the year 1978

[@justadude4495]

And what if i wanted a different setup or wanted to adjust the intonation a bit?or do something as common as bend a note?

[@Alverant]

When is the update and does it have a built-in speaker? You can't tell from a video where the sound is coming from.

[@Artiphon]

Hi there. Yes, the INSTRUMENT 1 has two speakers onboard. There is also a headphone jack so you can route your audio through headphones or an external speaker.

[@johnshitwalker3483]

Can you make a Fretless bass sound ? And transpose down, very deep sound in the bass frequencies ?

[@alanbrookes8716]

Is it just a computer input device with the sounds coming from the sound card in your computer or does it have built-in synthesisers?

[@circleJerkin68]

Alan Brookes yes

[@MrDaraghkinch]

Where is she?

[@JohnGalt539]

My 9 year old might find it amusing, when will they be available at the dollar 🌲?

[@prolyric]

Thanks Bob Ross!

[@shawnburt5653]

Prolyric lol

[@ewthmatth]

Reggie Watts more like

[@Slaveknight_gael]

I'm in love with this controller, really see a lot of use for it, but well, at $399 you can buy an expensive (mass-product kind of expensive) guitar.

[@mikexxx11]

Actually you can buy many nice guitars in the $400 range. Why would anyone put out that much for a cheaply made shit sounding toy?

[@Slaveknight_gael]

That's exactly what I said in my comment. Except the shit sound; this is a midi-controller which doesn't sound at all. You can use it with a cheap software like Music Maker for shit sounds, or with something like Nuendo 4 for realistic sounds of real instruments.

[@oldleatherstocking3185]

Is that how you play guitar? Why are you holding it like that?

[@TheAmerind]

Honestly I came for the instrument then saw the comments... Had to check out what they were talking about.. Lol and holy crap she really let herself go... It's like waking up after a really drunk night.. Talk about coyote ugly. But cool instrument.. Especially the arpeggiator.. I'd buy one

[@shanebeaudrot777]

Hey, Charles Manson learned to play a toy instrument.

[@nlknok77]

ROFL

[@dickphallus7826]

All that technology and quality sound in that thing and you get Shoenice to come play "my first song"?I needed to know if it djents.

[@АлексейФадеев-у2д]

Классный такой артифончик!🎶🎸🎹🥁

[@petermain1211]

Cool. I wish the the guitarist had held it like a guitar though!

[@progressiveguitarstudio3040]

Hey Peter! Thanks for watching! We will be doing a follow up video very soon with the Pianist and myself after we have a little practice with it. That was my first experience with it and Earl only having it a few days. Plus we plan on recording a quality song with it being at least one of the instruments. Gary King PS: I will be holding it like a guitar. GK

[@JediBuji]

I'm really interested to see if this thing can control VST's well. I can't tell over the youtube video what the quality of the soundfonts are, to my ear they sound a little better than the default Yamaha keyboard soundfonts.

[@NeonDiscoLaserKid]

Looking forward to the update! Like Brian Watson said, I'm really keen to see how it interfaces with VST instruments. The demo's online are generally looking at sounds that imitate natural instruments, but how's this thing with more synthy sounds?

[@petermain1211]

Sounds great. Look forward to seeing how you find it. Would love to hear some steel lap guitar ;-)

[@arataka57]

Is there any lag time inputting via midi?

[@efchbdh2911]

Does it work with Android app?

[@robertadams8007]

Pretty cool,but just seems like a better version of a keyboard,would like to get my hands on one,how much do they cost?

[@geoffreyhazard9835]

399

[@somjib400]

Keyboards and midi controllers can do much more.

[@waddahh6663]

Now I can buy this??

[@ryanllts]

where is that girl?

[@gerardlanphear9185]

Did you ever get around to doing a second review on this as you indicated?

[@ri-n540]

When they promise you a cute girl but instead they revived bob ross to play a modern guitar: *pikachu face*

[@rogerdodger8415]

Aww Comon. It sounds like a toy that was bought at toysrus!

[@ofur-juantuh5498]

Too bad about the iOs app.. if this was just a normal midi output with no iOS ties this would be hard to say no to

[@trea4929]

*But does it djent???*

[@KitWriter]

I hate to be that guy who asks, but ... does it djent?

[@PauloSilva111]

i want to see Matthias Eklundh, Yngwie Malmsteen, Victor Wooten, Flea, etc. playing this! :D

[@marshallallensmith]

So they took a Casio PT50 and did an ole "Ahmed Clock Jobaroo" and 'built' a guitar ?

[@speedoflight33]

can i shred with this bull..it ?

[@rjc7289]

If a Chapman Stick and a synth had a love child, it would be the Artiphon.

[@monoped8437]

what's with grizzly adams?

[@hugobarriosdonis]

Wow I want to buy it... I love it...

[@twootters7433]

We had kids toys like this years ago. I saw it's like $400. Yeah I'll pass. Like someone else said. I'll wait to see one at a yard sale.

[@gonzo2.0]

When you wanted an autoharp and they send you something the guys at Roland built for a Bad Santa gift

[@bjl1000]

Looks like the device I designed in the 80's down my basement . But it was all analog.

[@DuncanDimanche-sreview]

Nice thumbnail

[@ViezeVingertjes]

Came for the girl, and all i've seen are hippies with some kiddy toy.

[@dp_illustration]

Troll thumbnail. Lmao

[@Adithiyanvenkat]

Duncan Dimanche 200th like boiiii

[@jesusreyes-fo4vi]

Este diseño de instrumento recuerda a la antigua cítara hindú cuyo notable músico fue Ravi Shankar, no se supo que fue de el, pero The Beatles hicieron uso de estos acordes en unas melodías de George.

[@november8039]

Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the hair

[@fchild221]

This would fit nicely into my overhead luggage.

[@nashvilleartist6840]

Artiphon ripped off a lot of their supporters by charging us over nine hundred dollars each for a premium hardwood back Instrument 1 and accessories over two years ago, then never actually producing them. Artiphon is refusing us refunds and leaving its biggest and earliest supporters holding the bag.

[@lsamoa]

Wow. Not good.

[@shantalexhaviters2866]

The best toy i have ever seen.

[@haraganking8163]

so!.. will it do djent!?..

[@zetero17]

wow..I like this instrument..

[@степанполяков-й5ъ]

Где купить такую гитару?

[@pingponghappytime]

Now all the resonance of Fisher Price plastic! Artiphon, - lol. Latin for Phony Art.

[@alanbrookes8716]

Can you play it like an Hawaiian guitar with a slide?

[@christopherandrochellchann3581]

Sounds very good thanks

[@sergiogonzalez6676]

Que paso loquito? Metiste los dedos un enchufe?

[@oneofbillions691]

A handheld synth. What's the big deal?

[@CRUASSANFAN]

It's not an instrument. it's a midi controller

[@somjib400]

Not a very good one, at that.

[@Zeupater]

I’m pretty sure I saw and heard music being played with it. Anyway, midi controllers are musical instruments. Midi = Musical Instrument Digital Interface.

[@Slicklickz]

Most midi controllers are not musical instruments.

[@dasarathipranav]

U would have been correct if u said not a ‘music instrument’. Obviously it’s an instrument, i.e a midi controller, which produces musical sounds

[@thomasfarmer1730]

nothing's better than a real meat & potatoes GUITAR!!!!!

[@MichaelSmith-on1ig]

It's an instrument like mayonnaise is an instrument. If the developers had an idea on guitar playing they had the spacings of the frets in mind. Any guitarist would be unable to play this thing like a guitar

[@BernieBriocon]

Friendship between Man and Tec-Machine!

[@bynme1150]

omg that hair from 70s

[@snorrehjoelquist7443]

yeah, he should stop playing with live electric wires...

[@abelquirozmalqui5229]

Para batir la sopa sirve

[@vrajananda]

Not convincing. Is there anybody who can play properly that stuff?

[@ErickGarcia-qs2yh]

Why the "guitarist" didn't held it like a guitar?

[@JInfinity7]

Can it be used as a midi controller? I wanna make maps and then edit in my daw instead of manually drawing. Not gonna watch to find out. Spoon feed me the info. Nevermind, has a shit native software suite.

[@mattbrown5626]

Why do I feel like if you shake your head 30 joints will fall out?

[@Ender111]

What a cute toy

[@JoeSmith-uo5yn]

Gimmicky junk, probably a bit of fun for a while. Wait a few years, and pick it up cheap in our local thrift shop!

[@aarne3187]

Thumbnail scammers want attention but live a lonely life in the end.

[@arland1544]

I liked this video very very good

[@ilostmymind47]

Pretty cool instrument

[@kevindurden2880]

Is that the new Casio?

[@simone4993]

"Happy Little guitar here"..Thanks Bob Ross

[@rineric3214]

A friend and I have been trying for years to invent the "pianotar" - the best parts of both the piano and the guitar and I think you've done it! Can this possibly be an acoustic instrument?

[@normanwood1165]

Rin Eric

[@babr13]

I have a heater like this instrument in my house!

[@POOKIE5592]

Ahhhh!! Sideshow Bob!!

[@DARisse-ji1yw]

Nailed it !

[@sharokhjoudi4693]

Thank you for your videoes and songs. Merci

[@manakaitarblootza7258]

Not many people like this. I love it. Anything that makes a noise CAN be considered an instrument.

[@andrewguttry6886]

Great, another solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

[@dennisbrown4524]

You get thumbs down for bait and switch. Everyone should do this.

[@grandadan]

Hello! That toy just made me come in!! New friend here joined. Take a look at my garbage! What is the price for a toy like that one? Greetings from Spain

[@JohnnyPowerhead]

The guy who claims to be a guitar player was playing it on his lap like a keyboard. Get an actual guitar player to demo it.

[@williamobrien250]

The part where he demonstrated the piano?

[@JohnnyPowerhead]

@@williamobrien250 no the part where they brought the second guy in and said "this here's a guitar player to demo it in guitar mode" and then spent the rest of the video playing it on his lap instead of like a guitar.

[@TheKartoffel101]

The problem is all this futuristic "new" "instruements" pretend to be the same we allready have. It doesnt have a own sound and try to copy a other sound.

[@simone4993]

looks good enough for a Cricket Paddle.

[@CameronMosesart]

Seriously, who would actually play this thing live, or even go in public with it

[@somebodyis]

never thought 6 years before clickbait was a thing

[@juanjavierm]

Very clever decision: to put a cute baby in the thumb...and to let..."that"...host the clip. Anyways...a very nice and lovely guy.

[@ivanperez230]

Yo quiero uno en donde se consigue y acuantp

[@WutangBizkit]

nd basically its a sample pad that shaped like a guitar
