ITS ALIVE!!!

Wooohooo!
Time to crack out the multimeter though, because the pitch calibration is WAY off!!
The rig is back to where it was, but I've been putting together a little upgrade package for it. The next video should be with it running its new V6 engine, however the final upgrade should bring it to a full blown V8. Either way, it's a big step up from the previous set up! :-)

pls upload to spotify If possible, I'd love to vibe to this whilst hitting some good roads

I am actually working on that at the moment. Im very lucky for the love and support I get here, because it’s given me the ability to negotiate a few terms and conditions towards my liking. It’s the kinda thing that could be resolved in an hour long chat. Unfortunately given the time difference between where I am, and whey they are, it’s taking a bit of time. I’m on it though, but I’m not rushing headfirst into any contract without first fully understanding all of the implications. There’s a reason Taylor Swift had to re-record her first albums - she signed up to a shitty deal! I’m just looking for a fair deal for my subscribers ultimately (yeah, a bit of cash for me would be nice, but that’s not my priority). Right now, at worst, you can come here and see an ad at the start and the end of the video, but never will you see an ad in the middle (fuck I hate that shite). That makes zero financial sense from my point of view, however the way I see it, is that without people subscribing to my channel, I’d have fuck all income from this at all, so it’s really a channel that is owned by the subscribers, not me. I’m going to use that income to upgrade my camera, buy a better a case for my rig so I can go touring, but I want the experience to be the same for everyone. Even if they are penniless! Moving my stuff onto Spotify will break that trust with my subscribers (hello adverts, every 3 bloody minutes!!) My youtube subscribers will always come first. Me second. Then the needs of Spotify members (although seriously, Tidal is sooooo much better!!) I’m just an annoying obnoxious bloke who realises that I’m not here on my own merits, but only due to the love and support of others. I don’t want to be mega famous, driving around in a lambo. I’m just happy if my synth works to be honest! I actually felt really dirty when I opened up memberships the other day. Hopefully the people who have signed up to support me know what it means to me, and also understands that they’re doing it to not only help me, but also the bulk of my subscribers who can’t maybe afford to buy me a pint!?! Anyhow, that’s where I’m at. Yes, I know Spotify is a thing. (Tidal is sooooo much better, both for the listener, and the artist). I’m only going there because of the content ID horseshit I don’t want to be dealing with. I’m just doing it in a way that doesn’t affect the true owners of this channel, which are the subscribers. I’m just some muppet mashing keys on a synth. I don’t want that relationship between myself and the subscribers to change to be honest.

I've learned so much from watching your videos over and over again. 💯

[@robthebloke]

I hope that’s mainly to stop giving a shit, and just have a bit of fun ;) I’m nobody special, I just enjoy the dumb things I do! If you enjoy something, you’ll be destined to become a master at your art! I just do this stuff to crack a beer and unwind at the end of a work day. I’m pretty good at cracking a beer, and I’ve found the perfect way for me to unwind. Whatever your setup is, crack a beer and enjoy it I say! 😂

[@wheelerrm23]

The man is back!! Good to see ya back up and running. Keep it going and don't let the legal bull get ya down. We support ya. Much love

[@Volvith]

Dude you make some of the best synthwave stuff i've ever heard. Like, on par with actual tailored studio tracks, done live. People often argue whether something is talent or skill, but i'm pretty convinced you've got a whole heck of a lot of both. Keep doing what you love, because i'm pretty sure everyone else loves it too.

[@AFROmaj]

great work rob

[@robthebloke]

This was literally just a little moment of happiness! Still got a bit of work to go before it’s back to 100%. About 85% the way there at the moment, which is about 85% than where I was last week! :)

[@Marek_hr_Sawicki]

Grandeur of these sounds and arrangements is brilliant Rob

[@robthebloke]

Unfortunately the sequencer is slightly out of tune on this one. Doesn’t matter when it’s just one sequencer, but means it’s not playing with the rest of them! I’ve fixed that problem though! Video on its way up having fixed that problem. Sadly that just highlighted a few additional tweaks I need to make to get it firing on all cylinders. Not quite there yet, but it’s a standard set of calibration procedures from here on out, which is the best news I’ve had in a few weeks! :)

I just dont get the endless beeps and arpeggios of modular synth hobbyists

[@robthebloke]

Nor do I. However when your synth has been totally bricked for the last 3 weeks, it’s a happy moment, and something I wanted to share with my followers Yup. This is a self indulgent one. Sometimes I make music, this was just an initial system check I’m afraid.

[@robthebloke]

Sorry, I think I assumed you meant I was the hobbyist? In which case my comment still stands! 😂 (it’s true, I am!, despite a subscriber count that implies otherwise!) If you meant other people, then it comes down to a couple of factors. 1) too many oscillators, not enough sequencers 2) too many oscillators, that aren’t quite calibrated to each other (or the sequencers) 3) learn to play guitar, and learn to improv with an Am blues pentatonic scale. My synth rig is just a massive guitar. Channel one on the sequencer is where by barred chord lands, everything else is just a c-minor blues pentatonic scale that gets transposed to the correct fret position. There’s no real rocket science behind what I do, it’s just jazz ;)

[@robthebloke]

@@russelldaylight261 I assumed he meant that as well, then realised he has subscribed to me, and also asked me to commission a custom track. Hence my second comment. I think he was more referring to the modular community at large, rather than me specifically?
