Did anyone notice the little spider on the top row slider at kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH3YgplpodVpfcU - ;) He lives in the tomb.

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Hahahaha well spotted! That's Melvin and he does indeed, live in the tomb! //Jason

[@twisted-electrons]

Thanks Jason for making this, big smiles :)

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed. What a wonderful thing you have created.. its going to be hard to send back! Much love//Jason

[@bobbyspiecher6493]

I’ve been playing with it for a couple days and it’s wonderful. I love the dirt, it adds so much depth.

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

That's great to hear..glad you're enjoying yours... it's a wicked little box, and yes, depth totally! //Jason

[@ryanpage4006]

This is the best demo of the mega so far. It feels like many other demos were too focused on making youtube ambient to show off what it's actually good at. I think I need this one... Also, props for the wicker man record in the back.

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

That's great to hear, so glad you enjoyed it. It's a great synth that can do so much more than ambience! Everyone needs one for sure! One of my favourite films and that's a signed photo by Ingrid Pitt ❤ All the best //Jason

[@katebosone9805]

Love the spider at 1:22

[@dpalaoro]

We need a comparison with the Liven Mega Synthesis

[@ultrasyd]

This synth is very cool, i love it

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Isn't it just...! //Jason

[@onedrumcomputeraday196]

hey jason - many thanks for doing this - that sound around 4:06 -> y.e.a.h. :) keep it up & #staysafe!

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Thanks Steve - Glad you enjoyed.. Hahhaha YES! That's FM at it's dirty best !.. Love it! All the best //Jason

[@albydaniels]

Just found your channel. Great mix of knowledge, vibes and humour!

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Thank you, really glad you found us! Welcome 🙏 all the best //Jason

[@biggrime]

It's definitely a unique synth

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Yes indeed! And one that I was sad to return.. //Jason

[@biggrime]

@@ThomannSynthesizers ohh dang you had to return it? 😟

[@stevenaustin4591]

You should try recreate some of the sounds from Streets of Rage! That series had some Banging tunes! Especially part 3! :)

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Hahaha great 💡idea. I burned so many hours playing streets of rage too! So much cool music has been made for games over the years.... It doesn't always get the recognition it deserves .. //Jason

[@chinossynthesizer705]

The adventures of batman and Robin jesper kyd *-*

[@TheMachinesWon]

Would love to see a video with more patches you create on it vs presets. The fact it has no usb is kinda a huge bummer but I like what I see

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Glad you enjoyed, these were sounds i created and I could have gone on longer. 😉 Not having USB wasnt that much of a hassle.. but it's always nice to have the option..however the synth is a beast! //Jason

[@jaypkock]

And what's new in the MK2? :) literally no reviews on the tube about it

[@j.walker6845]

Klang, chime, klak, fizz. Well said

[@TheUnperson]

did anyone else notice the wee tiny spider at 1:22? :D

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Hehehe Boris.. he loves FM synthesis 😝//Jason

[@PeterKiMusic]

1:22 a white spider crawls out of the synth... One of the Yamaha's chips?

[@noobslayerr9732]

80s video games never sounded that good... i want this

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Hahah no they really didn't! It's an amazing synth //Jason

[@noobslayerr9732]

@@ThomannSynthesizers added on cart already 🤣

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

@@noobslayerr9732 Yes! You will make some excellent tunes with this bad boy, I have no doubt.. //Jason

[@noobslayerr9732]

@@ThomannSynthesizers yeap just waiting for the mfb synth pro and tanzbar to be on stock again ..sold some gear. Doctor said im oficial elektron free 😂 it has that video game tek sound which is gonna be an awesome combo with the mfb sound for my trippy minimal tek

[@dirceuleite1038]

Sure it is a missing gear for Kraftwerk! Ausgezeichnet präsentiert! Hut ab!👏

[@duellist1178]

Sold!

[@jona_KardCiv1]

Got to the 1:21 mark, at the bottom of the sl slider on operator1. See that teeni tiny creepy crawly? It looks like a tick or spider.

[@kiko1935]

Nice overview. Would you say it's pretty simple to start with an init patch and create standard stuff like brass, epiano etc? Subscribed 👍

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

The controls make it easier to get sounds together fairly quickly - you do have to be careful though as you can quickly stray off your initial path! But that's also what makes it so good! Thanks for subscribing //Jason

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

im not so hot on the Mega- But i REALLY liked youre outro - The Digitone and Deepmind , and ...a Moog ? - thanx anyway ,- and have a good one 😉

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Why thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed and stayed until the end! By the way it's the Sequential Pro 3...//Jason

[@ritchxmusic]

Have you tried the electron machine? Wondering how it compares

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Do you mean the Model:Cycles? If so I reviewed it back in February and it is also one of my Top 5 choices for 2020 - go check the videos out to hear- it's different and I'd say you could have both //Jason

[@specialistsound]

This or digitone for 1st fm synth? Please 🙏🏼

[@NikoNoxious]

get this for swag and power and character, get digitone for general usability and more control, sequencer, etc

[@BEDM]

Totally rips. Nice demo.

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Doesn't it just! Glad you enjoyed// Jason

Great! FM without character is useless, that's why most vsts are boring...

[@TimeToPlay1989]

Dat hoor ik waneer ik gas balonnen doe lol

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Hahaha thanks! I hope Google translate got this right ;) //Jason

[@NikoNoxious]

LOL now I gotta get one

[@CneeKrunch]

This sounds terrible honestly. Just buy a tx81z.

[@BarbieChaite]

Dommage de faire des musiques aussi pompières avec du si bon matos...

Always Free Memes! //Jason

[@ronaldcolemanjr5615]

no

[@martinstubs6203]

Judging from this demo, this is one of the worst sounding synthesizers I have ever heard.

[@sonickitchen]

Good. Too many synths sound too perfect and sterile. MegaFM is a distinctive musclesynth that stands out from the refined and polite sonics many synth nerds strive for. It's also huge fun just to dive in and create bonkers sounds and try to tame them (good luck with that).

[@NikoNoxious]

I bet you had a SNES as a kid, LOL

[@SuckeroftheYear]

nice
