8:10 makes me smile. You always seem so positive and kind in your videos which makes your content a pleasure to watch! Liebe aus Detroit Ü

[@JoshuaDb_The_Witness]

I got hip to you a couple of months back - and you really inspired me! I have been working "inside the box" since the mid 90s (technically for many of the those years I was a gigging bassist). I recently walked away from the professional art world (I was doing sound design and composition for live theater after a couple of years beating my head against the walls the movie studios in Los Angeles). I have been trying to get back to making music, and sound art for myself again. Like I did back in the 90s.... back then I had next to nothing to make music - a cracked copy of acid pro - a tascam 4 track - a danelectro echo pedal (still the only one I have ever had - got it for 20 bucks used back in 98 - minimal but built like a tank - I didn't have a proper audio interface - plugging a Sure 56 D- dynamic mic into the back of my sound blaster card with a stereo mini plug adaptor was the only way I could "sample" or rip from CD. Then my uncle gave me an old Harmon Cardon stereo stuner amp and some kenwood speakers.... MONITORS!!! Since then I have gone to audio engineering school and been mentored by my personal sound design hero - Dane Davis - and worked on crazy stuff with "Top O The Line" gear. And I felt like I had made much more interesting music prior to music school and my audio training.... I wanted to get my-self a small smei-modular - like the Mother 32 - which is reasonably priced sure - but my wife and I are BROKE. So I cant justify spending money on the Koma Elektronik Field Kit FX (which I have been drooling over for at least a year - or the stuff over at Bastle if I could afford it Id buy the soft pop, bit ranger AND the .... hell Id buy em all! The sad part is, its all pretty damn affordable - then my wife got laid off - so forget it. It was at this point I stumbled across your channel. I have a couple of old hand held mono tape recorders - the kind students or reports use - that I had collected a couple of years ago to dirty up the single on something - basically just a reamping technique - I came across you making drones with hand helds - and it sent me scurrying into some dusty boxes in the studio. THANK YOU. It was just what I needed. I started working with sound - when I was little - before I knew what it was - I would play with it. This really brought back a sense of PLAY and discovery.... which is SO important - not just as an artist but a person. And now I make music for the joy of it again - I mean - Im learning too - if that makes sense - too many years in the trenches - to many bands - shitting clubs and disappointments - you dig? But now Im just grateful! Thanks man! Cheers! Consider me a new life long fan. For the record I love your demeanor on camera. You have a very dry sense of humor - but its obvious that your are a warm and authentic person. Either that or you are a brilliant actor.n Thanks for the inspiration - its in short supply around here (my here, small town USA... but frankly the US in general is having a time of it... dont know if you've heard...). Cheers!

[@Hainbach]

Joshua, thanks for writing, this made my day! I absolutely know what you mean with being in the trenches - I was for years part of struggling band, where we always saw some success but never enough make ends meet. Part of what I have become as artist was shaped by that experience - I never want to abide to the "industry standard" way of making things again, never go on stage and play the same music every night after night. So this is me at my most free. There is not that much difference from me on camera and real life - only here I am more focused and am able to edit out pronounciation errors. Seriously, trying to say "Thyme" and "Synthesizer" in the same sentence with "Thyme" does not come easy to a native german speaker. Anyway, all the best to you in the new year!

[@josephf7306]

Thanks for introducing us all to the gamelan strips! I like that you don't just promote "flavor of the month" stuff (Elektron, Moog, volcas, etc.), but rather gear that adds character and personality to a setup.

[@JarrodFerris]

Moog is flavour of the month? That said, this organic/acoustic electronic gear is really interesting.

[@josephf7306]

@@JarrodFerris Moog is quality gear, don't get me wrong. What I mean by "Flavor of the month" is new gear that gets hyped with a bunch of "video reviews" uploaded by different synth youtubers all on the same day, each of them essentially saying "You totally need this new thing!"

[@ALLoam-eg3pw]

I really appreciate your approach to the bastl thyme. I feel similarly when working with the machine, that it is more of a collaboration and conversation than something which I dictate what it is to do.

[@SEREPTIE]

If you get the Koma Field Kit FX, make sure to get shielded RCA cables for the reverb tank. They are not included with the expansion pack.

[@TheUnfinishedSynth]

Great video. My favourite new bit of gear this year is the Moog DFAM. Just so much fun.

[@cp99music]

That AMA pedal is right up my alley. I’m a sucker for anything bitcrushed.

[@nathanricker1]

A pleasure as always, Heinbach. I love my thyme and your probably the first person, besides myself, to give the Hermod any love. I use mine so much I’m surprised it doesn’t quit its job and move to Malta to “find itself”

[@Hainbach]

Ahahahahah awesome description! For hermod felt like coming home, as I am used to the squarp workflow and the frequent upgrades Squarp puts out that fix any issues fast.

[@BoBeats]

Yay! A list video!

[@Hainbach]

Ha, it was both fun and weird to make.

[@BoBeats]

​@@Hainbach i really enjoyed the intro. That sudden realization that a top list might actually be a great way to help people, at least a little bit :)

[@Hainbach]

Thank you! I am still new to all of this, you have much more experience. So feedback such as this gold! Looking forward to meeting up btw at the Reactor!

[@Hainbach]

Thanks a lot, Chris!

[@crispysteve42]

If you want to make that list of gear you discovered in 2018 that wasn't made in 2018, I'd love to see that too

[@Hainbach]

Ha, that would be fun too! I have something I want to do with new old gear next, which might tie in or be its own thing.

[@smacksalad]

Agreed. I would watch the shit out of that :)

[@SuperPedalhead]

@@smacksalad that goes without saying, we would watch him sequence his own farts if it had enough tape saturation on it.

HAINBACH You're nutz , your music expresses you exactly . I'm breaking out my cassette four track , korg plus all my 18 pedals n mini disk player tomorrow . never looking back :)

[@NickT6630]

I hope to get my home made Z80 computers making some music very soon. Oh i forgot its almost 2020 :)

[@jonridley]

I loved both the Vermona Perfourmer and the Meris Ottobit this year, they are both amazing pieces of gear. I’ve only had the perfourmer for about 2 weeks but already having a lot of fun with it. The Ottobit is an incredibly versatile bitcrusher, filter and sequencer combo and it works well with a variety of different sounds and patterns. Neither are released this year but both have been really fun instruments to play.

[@Hainbach]

Heard your Vermona track, super deep!

[@awmans]

The Chase Bliss Thermae is by far the coolest piece of gear I discovered in 2018. Pitch shifting analog delay, and every parameter is controllable by midi, plus there’s a lot of cv options

[@Hainbach]

Yeah, that is on my "gear I want" list.

[@MrMortaka]

im starting to enjoy every second of your videos ...thanks Hainbach .. keep on the good work ...

[@herontotem1065]

Lol, these tapes, minidisc and walkmans remains me myself about 20 years ago! :) I'm coming back to tape again actually with a Luxman and a Polydict... :)

[@patfinn2697]

Great video! I’m going to be on the DFAM bandwagon for my favorite 2018 thing. Thinking about getting another.

[@ruxiwang9571]

OMG these gadgets open MANY new worlds to me!!! Thank you soooo much!!!!

[@MrBasic]

You might like the DFAM. I enjoy it's organic nature and versatility.

[@Hainbach]

I have been eyeing that one, but the one that really peaked my interest ist subharmonicon.

[@MrBasic]

@@Hainbach I am fighting to get the word out to Moog so they will make the Subharmonicon. I hope so!

[@ianmoore5610]

Thank you for a great year of learning and inspiration, cheers to many more!

[@Moruial]

I love when you explain your gear, it's so passionate. Great work!

[@Hainbach]

It's hard to contain my excitement often - same as when I was into Dinosaurs as a kid, that part of me never changed.

[@TheTechnobear]

Thanks for all the great videos in 2018, I hope 2019 treats you well. Id love to hear more about your creative use of midi effects on the Hermod, and in particular how you modulate them using CV, and generally keep them interesting. Despite MidiFX being in most DAWs, I've seen little use of them outside scale quantisation, transposition and arps.

[@Hainbach]

Thank you! Squarp has chance and random which you can adjust nicely. I might do a video on that, its what I play every day now anyway.

[@markasmichmel]

Lovely video! Was hoping you would release a top x of gear/instruments. Nice one

[@goodpal7444]

I love your work, and a lot of the gear you explore has influenced my effects chains with the gear o already own and in Ableton. Thanks again for so much food for thought. Happy new year.

[@Hainbach]

Thank you! Beautiful to hear that you are exploring, too.

[@vikramjitbanerjeetuki]

Wow you have a Roland MSE1 string ensemble rack unit!!! I thought I am the only one in the whole world who has one 🙂😎🤔 I love mine, would love to see how you incorporate your rack into your setup...

[@demoscenes]

When I first discovered the Koma EFK FX, I was blown away. It really got all I could have dreamed of and more. Past time I would use a 4 channel mixerboard with external LFO, Delay, Chorus and Stereo Imaging pedals. It works no question about it! But it also ate a lot of space and did lack main sync. The Bastl Thyme is on my list now. What a lovely device and you've shred lots of light and shown possibilities how to use and deconstruct that device :P Thanks! :)

[@nym053]

Grey and pink with black and White details together always looks great in my book ;)

[@eddraper]

Same to you!

[@justinallison116]

It would be interesting if you had enough gear from a specific year in the past and do a, for example, best of 1968..or whatever year you think made great, useful and inspirational stuff. Loved the video as always! Thanks!

Yeah, it would fit with your sound.

[@dovepaige]

It would totally fit your style, I can never get enough of my Thyme, end of the day I routinely find myself just exploring its possibilities

[@seamusjr]

Lorre-Mill Double Knot is great fun, worth checking out. Would likely work well with your Ciat-Lonbarde gear.

[@Hainbach]

I tried it, but no funds at the time. Else it might have ended up in my setup

[@capablehandle]

Thanks for going ahead with making this video. Subscribed for outstanding editing on interesting stuff.

[@EmptyDomoKanti99]

after looking at an fx station for months now, i’ve found things i’ve needed right here! So, thank you for that and good luck with the rest of the videos!

[@BobIrving2]

Great video. I just discovered your channel and love the creativity! One question -- are the graphics we see in your live set(s) starting at 12:28 generated by the music? What's the story there?

[@Hainbach]

Thank you! Two different people on visuals - Orca, whom I regularly work with. She animates by hand and matches the visuals to my performance. Second was a collaboration with Damian Marhulets, who re-cut Nosferatu and made a Max patch, so he can play and have the music influence the video.

[@BobIrving2]

@@Hainbach Thanks for the reply! Does Damian use MIDI in the music to influence the visuals?

[@Hainbach]

Audio only.

[@BobIrving2]

HAINBACH Hmm. So it responds to volume changes?

[@georgeredpath5394]

Hi @HAINBACH! I enjoyed your video. Great to see your take on equipment this year. If possible could you review the make noise shared system b&g? I’m sure you would have some interesting results. I currently have one and it has taken me a while to learn.Alternatively the endorphins.es shuttle system would be cool to see you play. I’ve recently seen it as a small 200e buchla system as I now see its depth. Much thanks Z.

The buzzers are part of the Charme, they make it sing. You can rip them off probably. 350 for the Gamelan strips.

[@zeotropehumanzeotrope1829]

ok thanks. It's nice it's been some yeas that i want a kalimba and a metallophone. Like the idea of gamelan strip like it's compact and sound very good. Have you figured out how to amplify them ?

[@futureaztec5109]

Noticed you had a fostex 4 track. I have recently got a full analog signal path going and I am interested in avoiding an ADC. I saw an old technics tape recorder with a peak detector for cheap at a shop. When I had the guy test it, it didn't sound good. Then I saw your video here and I can tell you have some experience -- I didn't see a specific video on this on your channel. So, do you have any advice for scoring a cheap, high quality audio cassette recorder (4[track or whatever), so I can do everything full analog? Is it better to have the 4-track, when only using cassette, or do you just use that for nostalgic character. I want something clean and accurate. Thanks, nice videos btw.

[@Hainbach]

Cassette and clean don't go well together. I use a Telefunken M15 reel-to-reel to record, which sounds better to me than digital recording, because it adds depth and character. The four tracks cassette machines I use for pitching up and down or creating raw sounding loops. They are fun, but if its clean I was after I would not use them.

[@futureaztec5109]

@@Hainbach Well I am not too into the idea of going reel-to-reel, because I would still have to get it on to a format. Obviously going to tape will characterize the sound. Some people want tape hiss, etc., which is fine. I was just interested in taking my full analog signal path and skipping an ADC. Is that just wishful thinking?

[@Hainbach]

Then get a Marantz PMD 430 or Sony TCM-5 Pro MK2. Or Tascam 424 MK 1 for fourtrack. Sony is the most accurate of the bunch.
