Arturia: you should sponsor Bamanya with more gear to support is work!

[@N-trepid1]

I could not agree more! Arturia, sponsor the man! Give up some gear. So much potential for some creative electronic music. Such a win/win....

[@luisonly]

yeah, like wtf man, he paid for it? give him some shit to work with!!!!!

[@saxofernando]

Kickstart this guy! He should own his afrorack company!!

[@slothandturtle8036]

Jeah he definitely deserves to be supported somehow ! He seams to have a great personality beside his musical and technical skills.

[@thomasswoodward]

Damn right. Hope you're listening Arturia. Shower this man with gear.

[@SouthStreet24Media]

I am proud of my Ugandan brother. Well done Brian. I thought I was the only Ugandan who is into synthesizers 😂😂.

[@Afrorack]

For real? Are you in Ug?

[@SouthStreet24Media]

@@Afrorack Yes I am bro. I am a great fan of your work. Message me on Facebook (the link is on the banner of my youtube) so we can stay in touch.

This story is truly amazing! Would be great to know more about people around the world who build their own modulars!

[@motomuso]

Afrorack - Beautiful! Much love from California.

[@anthonyholmes113]

This is amazing! I'm just learning modular and synthesis as a whole, and this man here is inspiring!!

[@mrcwalker33]

I loved Bamanya's story when I saw the first video of him doing a modular in his home country and I also love that you guys flew there and interviewed the man, brilliant!!!

[@DashGlitch]

This guy is awesome!!

[@votremain]

Arturia giving representation to a musician like this is mad respectable. Dude is purely into music without unnecessary frills. Knows exactly what he needs and the shortest path to get there which is inline with artuias MO. A lot can be learned bamanya and his ethos as arturia has shown.

[@amadeuspaulussen]

Wow, what a cool system he built! ✨🌟 Sounds very warm and dense. And what a cool name: AfroRack! Love it!

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

This guys is amazing and yet very humble. Love his work , passion and drive :-), much respect to Mr Afrorack .

[@jazzjeffjazzjeff]

Love this so much! Making modular sound African....so soulful!

[@sirsynth225]

INCREDIBLE & BRAVO !!! If I may: a hint: launch (some/all) of these modules on Kickstarter or via Arturia or set up your own business - huge market = success guaranteed! Respect from Belgium ;-)

[@konstranskie]

Thx Arturia, Music change the world, this is only the language, for all People in the world!

[@TomHutchinson5]

Peeping that spring delay! I've always wanted to do that

[@DeepSEADetroit]

He's amazing!

[@LovevonMelenEkman]

These are some sick sounds 🔥

[@barbarianblood2316]

This is dope. Mad respect✌️

[@QuincasMoreira]

Synth DIY bridging worlds! This is so inspiring!

[@alxs2k]

[@PalleSvensson]

Badass, Bamanya! Great work!

[@MrCartershow]

Amazing story ! Wow !

[@Mr.J2U]

Absolute madness! That is pretty incredible... Beats sound hot, too! Sounding like some old Woody McBride lol!

[@satyanpatel6403]

3:46 he brings in an awesome middle eastern beat. Truly an inspiring story. Here I sit in the United States with access to anything, but I can't even fathom how to begin building my own modular components. :/

[@finionio91]

So damn brilliant

[@tallgeese1]

Yeah! Feeling it starting at 3:14!

[@MG-tb2il]

Formidable.

[@damascusdupont1234]

How about sponsoring the man Arturia?

[@giannisas84]

Cool video but the CV output of the Beatstep pro does not track octave pitch correctly. Arturia should release a firmware update to fix it.

[@staticasylum666]

I would rather buy from this guy any day than some hipster in america!

[@TheUnknowKING]

hahahah WOW !! I LOVE THIS
