I accidentely read "p*rn" in your comment. Now here we are, tell me I read wrong. If I just knew which freaking knobs to turn...

[@DMxTURO]

I just started randomly watching your videos and now I understand synths. Dude you're a great teacher.

[@ricochetsixtyten]

I love how you can hear Stephan tweaking the knobs in real time in the songs, you can hear the out of tune "mistakes", makes it so real!

[@Pheonix0114]

I think you just made the best argument for hardware synthesizers I've ever seen

[@OscarUnderdog]

Ow, mission accomplished haha. Now I have to spend my time going back to convincing people why they shouldn't spend all their savings on expensive stuff 😁

[@Ninjjadog]

Yes, I want one ❤️

[@Channel15901]

Or you get a midi controller from eBay for 20€ and you can do the same with your vsts while recording the Jamsession internally

[@thomas_rellum]

@@Channel15901 you’re right! And I will add hardware is quite limited and frustrating sometimes

I cannot say enough about these videos! Oscar, your passion for this art form is clear and thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. There is no doubt your channel will contribute a world of good to the electronic music community. Thank you, thank you!! Keep up the outstanding work!! Churr from NZ!

[@MacLamar]

I’m so new to all this. YT recommend this video after I did a lot of searching about the sub 37 which I just bought. Had no idea that Ableton could play through the synth. Thanks for the demo 👍Amazing stuff.

[@LeneLovstrand]

Oh my God, 10:40 gave me the chills from another universe

[@luke8489]

Dude, I love you. I got into hardware synths a year ago but I had trouble to turn my patch ideas into music. This video and the workflow depicted within was really inspiring for me. Thanks :)

[@OscarUnderdog]

Happy to hear that :)

[@soundtorial4567]

I owned a sub37 for a few years but Had to sell it because of Corona lockdowns ruining my Business :/ That synth is a Work of Art. Absolutely juciy sounding,monstrous Low end and the Quality of this Handmade synth is unmatched, Moog is Worth every penny

[@chronoxofficial]

This is seriously one of the best channels i came across concerning fresh and usefull techniques in music production. And from Belgium :-)! Awesome work man!

[@tonyrodelli9495]

I'm so grateful for this information and the way it's delivered! I read a few comments and All I can say is..."Ya, What everyone else said!"

[@OscarUnderdog]

☺️❤️thanks!

[@CounternoiseMusic]

I think you really had a ton of fun with this synth. Nicely done, thanks for sharing!

[@azimpradhan]

This video is a great example of the idea of knowing how to use your synth. As we can hear, having a moog doesn’t automatically get you the sound of Stephan Bodzin. Instead you actually need to learn how to use it

[@briansherling5515]

You truly know the craft to be sure! Thank you for demonstrating how important REAL INSTRUMENTS are. Software is a great tool but I feel the soul is being frozen in the prison of the mouse.

[@weissgerauschenmusic6480]

Omg Oscar, your sweater looks like a piano roll and I can’t unsee it now. I want one! Great video and thanks for reinforcing my need for an analog synth. :D

I could literally watch that jam section for hours. Amazing how one small riff can generate so many sounds. Love these videos Oscar ✌🏻

[@mezsound741]

great session thanks

Thank you thank you! This video is inspirational. The perfect deconstruction of an epic track and its techniques. I can't say how much I loved watching this and learning from it. Now I'll jump off to my Moog and play!

these seat squeaks are the best bodzin sounds imo :D

[@ajotech]

Excellent video and walk-through. Wow!

[@alister_]

I agree with the advantages of using a hardware synth. I used to have a few when I've started playing around with synths. They were very limited in terms of modulations. So, I sold them to buy midi controllers, because I liked the capabilities of soft synths. The problem was just that: the screen, the configurations, and you know, with hardware synths, I was just a button-press away from playing any time. Computer just doesn't have the same feeling.

[@OscarUnderdog]

I agree with this very much! The immediacy of the hardware controls just have something very musical about them.

[@luisfernandez6310]

Thank you Oscar! Saludos desde Panamá!!!

You are like a magician who shares the other magicians tricks ! Thanks for all your amazing videos 🙏🏻

[@OscarUnderdog]

Haha I hope the other magicians don't take offence :D

[@Berus7777]

Well, I was on the fence between a Pro 3, Peak, and Subsequent 37. Guess which one I ordered today. Oscar should have gotten a commission. (Everyone was basically screaming "Get the Pro 3!!", and I love the Pro 3, but... the sound of that 37, even in this impromptu scenario... was just undeniable. The Pro 3 will have to wait.).

[@tomsoust9877]

Oscar you are the best. There's no one out there better suited to these videos. You've helped my production so much. Can we please get a Nathan Micay tutorial soon?

bro! you're a beast! thanks for all your videos.

[@pimsoomer8641]

Great vid! I particularly liked the trick for routing the toms through the noise source on the Subsequent 37. One very minor nitpick - it’s pink noise rather than white noise on this particular synth.

[@peterbakker9531]

Thx a lot for this explanation, very inspiraring to try this out with my sub37

[@OscarUnderdog]

And when you're done with it, send it my way for a loan 🤣 returning it to the shop hurt my soul...

[@musicismyvegetables2900]

Thx a lot Oscar. I tried to rebuild this without a hardware synth and I can say that one also can come quite close to this sounds with the arturia mini v3 plugin in ableton controlled with the knobs of a midi keyboard asigned to the different parameters of the synth.

[@marcelsmoorenburg]

Thank you very much! You've great teaching skills.

[@andivax]

Great video❤ How Bodzin make that sweet sounding high sequences? Sounds very warm and soft. Is it direct Matriarch or may be some processing? Also what delay and reverb he is using? Thank you❤

note to self! "the key to making everything in your music sound glued together.. there's one invisible chord progression underlying all of the music that expresses itself through the different instruments"

Oscar you need to have a sub37 in your studio your work even though a teaching process is still very inspiring...and showed me how i can use a synth for MIDI

Goosbumps🔥

[@dajok]

Wooooow this gave me Goosebumps and I had to subscribe instantly. After watching your video, I am so inspired that I want to get started myself right away. This brings me to a question: You’re using Ableton, is it possible to do something like this in Logic? Or should I switch? I would really appreciate, if you have an answer. Greetings and keep doing your awesome work.

Great vid! If you cannot afford a Sub37, you can get Bodzin style sounds, with any synth and setup a parallel distortion channel with a guitar pedal followed by an Eq. 😊

😭

[@antoineguilbeault8025]

Geat video Oscar ! I asked for a Stephan Bodzin in the comments of a previous video and I got one 😁

[@OscarUnderdog]

Exactly, that was the trigger for me 🤗✌ it used to come up a lot in the bootcamps when we talk about chord progressions, how this track is just a simple 2 chord progression. In class I would typically do a remake of the bass in softsynths. I figured it was time to really nail this topic once and for all 😄

[@billtrantos19]

Thanks for showing this kind of workflow! I only use plugins through an Arturia Minilab, but I never thought of writing the parts down and loop takes only messing with sound design parameters. I've never seen that before on YT, most people show the final results without the actual process behind them. Can you maybe do more stuff on Bodzin or Innellea? They both do very interesting stuff in sound design.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Hey Bill! Thanks for the feedback! I hadn't heard of Innellea, but I immediately hear parrallels to my video on Funky Hihats, and the one today of the Toms :D (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2TFk2V_rshrjK8 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKaUkqajm6mXrJI)

[@Ingyar]

Hi Oscar. Why not recording the knob performance as automation data? :) Just researched and the manual says: "Each knob and switch on your Subsequent 37 also sends and receives MIDI" I think it would be easier, well, more flexible to select/modify/assemble the final performance. Cheers!

[@outersposato]

I LOVE my Moog sub25!

[@Chris-dq6eq]

Wow, your videos are amazing and there's no channel or source quite like them. I've been dabbling in Ableton for a while and as an avid techno-fan without any music education (can't even read notes) I'm having a hard time expressing my musicality using virtual buttons and knobs. [insert I have no idea what I'm doing meme here]. Trying to get information from other sources and learning about stuff like syncopation is very useful to start understanding how sound and music works from the foundation up (which is basically the only tool I have: really understanding what is going on and why), but there's just no coherence and progression in the stuff I pick up at various random times, so in the end I'm just stuck at the same place where I want to express musicality but have no way of putting into effect what I feel, only that I understand slightly better why it sounds good :D So your channel looks amazing and I will definitely follow one of your courses to get a basis in workflowing creativity into something that is tangible enough to be tweaked with. My thoughts were to buy something like an M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 so I can make creating music more physical, because just moving my mouse and clicking doesn't give quite the level of control I'm looking for. Sorry, this became a super-long comment without any real point. So let me just reiterate that I'm thankful for your amazing videos, you reignited a spark that I'd written off and I hope to take one of your courses soon (or if this pandemic is behind us see you in Amsterdam at De School or something). Finally, if there's one musical thing I haven't figured quite out which keeps on giving me goosebumps it's the modulation of the melody in Patrice Bäumel's Serpent from a simple melody line (say, at 2:04) to something that sounds polytonal (around 2:31). It's amazing. Thank you and have a great day!
