Exploring Future Sound Systems Cric - a monster analogue patch-matrix synth

[@greencontact]

This is coolest synth I seen/heard in a long time. Great video!

[@agerven]

Just saying: thank you! My first meeting with this instrument. It is awesome, and your video and accompanying audio present it so well.

[@DivKid]

Lovely exploration and thoughts on Crick's.

Love your channel 🙏✌️

[@SoundsMick]

Thanks Ben :)

[@Orangetronic]

brilliantly inventive patches, @SoundsMick 🤩

[@geusensdriesmusic]

Sounds very warm and organic. Definitely interested in trying this out if I can find one.

[@LowGainElectronics]

Stoked. Hope to get one

[@Tripwelleverday]

Ridiculous wow 🤩

[@peterkoleff]

Amazing video! Are you using the Motto Akemie as a MIDI controller (because I couldn't get it to send MIDI out) ?

[@SoundsMick]

Thanks! The Motto is just supplying some extra voices to that jam, no MIDI.

[@Bata9999]

This thing looks dope but I need to hear more. Need someone to just run a sequence for 5 minutes and go through some standard sounds.

finlay! great work if you read this

[@HightechLowlife-r8x]

What made you choose this over the Erica synth syntrx II ?

[@SoundsMick]

I do also have a Syntrx 2, they're quite different especially in the oscillator structure and it's approach to utility function. I would say the Cric is much more generous in its functions and the oscillators take it into wildly different sonic territory.

@@SoundsMick bro, nothing on this video sounds "wildly" ... you barely can listen to the synth´s character

[@SoundsMick]

@ there’s other videos that show the synth in a more raw state upcoming, there’s a good livestream here actually: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnYhqWIp8ZmhbM. My video was an exploration / commentary of my time using it as part of a compositional setup vs a more nuts and bolts explainer. I probably could have just done a couple filter sweeps tho 😂

[@randydarklight]

7:47 it is getting interesting

[@donato77]

No midi makes it an easy pass. Neat otherwise.

[@SoundsMick]

There’s some pretty inexpensive midi to cv converters out there such as the CV.OCD or if you have a DC coupled audio interface you could use Ableton CV tools or the Bitwig alternative.
