Magnificent. Intelligent, sensitive, artistic. You think in your audience, not in yourself as a product. Congratulations!!!

[@arthurking4725]

Absolutely awsome.... what a piece of art ! It is amazing the flawless way you did this.... congrats

[@stephanmobius1380]

Omg. You bloody genius, loopop.

[@loopop]

Stephan Möbius thanks Stephan ;)

[@setphaser]

oh very clever! i can’t believe you had the energy and concentration for this after such an onslaught

[@paulbergel9191]

Your music is beautiful! Please please please release this as a stand-alone track! Seriously, the best thing I heard in a long while!!

[@robertsyrett1992]

Kudos! Instant classic! Love the deconstructive quality of the content but it's all supported by a well composed song. I would love to see a making of video for this.

[@pthelo]

Hello Ziv @ Loopop! This is the first of your videos I've seen. The music, performance, and sounds are outstanding, no doubt. It's also an incredibly efficient way to demo MANY synths in a musical context. I'm intrigued as to the method you devised and equipment you used to connect, record, sync and put this all together. Thanks for sharing, and cheers on your excellent execution of a unique and ambitious concept!

[@winddealer1]

Thanks for a clever, captivating, mesmorizing and memorable performance of notable products at this venue.

[@MartinYamMoller]

Very nicely done!

[@markolijus]

AMAZING!!! Great idea very well executed!!! bravo!!!

[@Philipplus]

This is magical! Nice work!

[@akguni]

Genius! You just made all other (famous) reviewers look like they are from stone age! By using a very creative approach to sharing your experience with these gorgeous instruments, you remind us that it is the art and creativity combined with cutting edge technology what makes synthesizers and electronic music so attractive (to me at least!) Thank you...

[@ninjastarchris1718]

No i

[@audiblevideo]

STUPID COOL! Thank you ever so much for integrating all these synths into a composition with their respective tonalities and characters. I helps a lot to hear them in context with each other.

[@doctorauxiliary]

that was just plain pure sweetness right there. we love you, loopop!!

[@RickyTinez]

this is sooo good.

[@Ivan-od5hg]

Ccccc.

[@BoringStranger]

It is

[@Gu1tar1st]

So inspiring. I’m off to do my own on my collection of synths. Thank you for the music.

[@lunarsound9264]

Smart and very nice ! Your videos are truly unmatched !

[@Xlr8ive]

Yeah, pretty freaking creative, it's also hauntingly beautiful. I'm glad it worked out.

[@pierreaescher8899]

Hey, what a great synth moment. This is beautiful. You seem to be the first to ever have thought of making music while attending a music trade show! What a great idea to do it the way you did and planned it! I love both the concept, the piece and the images. Txs!

[@rikardvilhelm]

Nice to see, or hear actually, a demo video that has artistic musical value. I find the piece post Wilder Depeche Mode-esque.

[@flaminggarlic]

This was so beautiful, nice work!

[@Twinsungamer]

Most original video from superbooth ! Kudos to you, it was delightful !

[@keepitshortnsweet]

Three years ago. How many of these, the small manufacturer ones in particular, are still in production I wonder.

[@loopop]

I just checked, every single one, not that it matters I think

[@keepitshortnsweet]

@@loopop Wow. I think it matters as a good sign that this golden age of interesting and unique hardware synthesizers is still going strong. I hope it lasts a good while yet.

[@jonaseggen2230]

My mouth was open the whole time. What to say, except that that was really impressive? Just wow!

[@urbannpa]

Awesome, I love the variety of synths and sounds.

[@monomakes]

What a cool way of demoing the synths! I bet there are many others who are kicking theselves for not having thought of it (not that this was your intention, of course). Must have taken a LOT of work.

[@k5r2d2]

I predict 28k (100% more followers) in the next month... quality musicality, quality reviews, quality presence in the modular world, My time is well spent in your channel Sir :hat1:

[@loopop]

k5r2d2 that might be a stretch but thanks for the kind words and support ;)

[@loopop]

k5r2d2 that might be a stretch but thanks for the kind words and support ;)

[@DavidHHermanson]

Bien joué! C'est brilliant! b flat n'est pas ma clé préférée, mais vous avez mis fin à tous mes souvenirs d'enfance de misérables sopranos se faisant passer pour des moutons -- «Schafe können sicher weiden» de BMV 208. Merci.

[@ViktorKralovic]

What a cool idea this is! Greetings from Slovakia.

[@godders7594]

What an absolutely marvelous video, superb stuff.

[@AdamsOlympia]

Deluge is the perfect device for this! Brilliant.

[@loopop]

True!

[@ZanBizar]

Awesome idea and very well executed.

[@Allomerus]

Awesome idea.... Well done again!

[@antfactor]

Never saw this before... Nicely done!

[@sonic_trek]

Excellent job again!

[@OrallusMaximus]

Absolutely beautiful piece of music.

[@KnarfSondiers]

Awesome work and very good idea, so different than all other #superbooth videos. Excellent job. Bravo. (Now I'm thinking about how you did it all... that must have been a nightmare to resync... )

[@loopop]

Knarf Sondiers thanks very much and yes... it was... premiere has SO many bugs it’s not funny.... definitely not designed to be a DAW. ;)

[@DjMiflyn]

I'm at a complete loss for words. I was watching and like hold up...is he really...omg...AMAZING!!!

[@Maudio303]

How did you... ok, i don't ask :) Awesome work to bring this all together. Brilliant!

[@fallingmanuk]

Wow, that was just surreal, thank you...

[@simoncassel4030]

Amazing work man!

[@FBJ-Enduro]

Sooooo magical... congratulations!

[@christoroppolo8742]

Excellent idea! Peace Christo 🎶🎶👏🏻👏🏻🕺🕺🐕🐕🔦🔦✌🏻✌🏻🛸🛸🙏🙏👽👽👍🏻👍🏻

[@jayjones2821]

beautifully executed

[@RobertAdachi]

so beautiful!

[@nigelrogers8690]

Man that is brilliant 👏🏾👏🏾

[@dominiclegare6630]

This is an amazing piece of music... very inspiring. I just imagine if you did this video in a rain forest with some mysterious walker.

[@starwars007oele]

You are a genius! Fantastic tought out! Greats👍✌️

[@davidkempmail]

Delicious 🖤 After watching something as technically difficult to achieve as this must have been from a production point of view I do wonder about the 6 ‘thumbs down’ votes and think what do you find negative about this. Bravo and well done. 👍🏼

[@ravencole2740]

Haters be hatin'.

[@alanshewitt]

This made me happy. Thank you.

[@loopop]

That’s pretty much the best case scenario I could hope for :)

[@maarzt]

Im few years late to this. really awesome.

[@LostForWords]

Genius forethought, perfect execution!

[@yovesh126]

this is one of your best tunes superb!!

[@loopop]

Thanks - it’s a cover of a tune by Yehezkel Raz :)

[@Yovavision]

❤

[@KarzenX]

You’re probably too busy, but a quick follow up on these 6 years later would be super duper cool 🤓

[@Bishop_Grimm]

Wow, what a treat...

[@DJDigitalJosh]

Wow, great video and love the intro.

[@3HO]

Brilliant idea, it's just great !

[@MM-ib6qh]

You must have planned this out well in advance? Please tell me you did, and this wasn't just an amazing accident? - Actually, is doesn't matter, don't say either way, I like not knowing. It reminds me of a certain melody/chord progression from the Nintendo game, Zelda. It's not exactly the same, but the descending feeling, from minor, to diminished, to major... it's a very settling series of chords. Man, how did you do this?! So cool!

[@loopop]

You asked me not to say so I won’t :)

[@loopop]

....and thanks for the comment of course

[@MM-ib6qh]

loopop Wait, I changed my mind :)

[@TheSmackingPunches]

This is an incredible idea.

[@mellowrockstar]

Great idea!

[@YugoB4g]

Genius! Thanks for this great piece.

[@InkyDaCaT]

Ahhh and all is well in the world....sooooo dreamy! Yum yum!

[@JoelSwensenM]

Love that progression

[@2veod1]

incredible!

[@cqbs]

Wow that's what I call creative! Brilliant work! ./ivar

[@Mathmatrix1]

so smart!

[@AndreaPessino]

Genius! ❤️

[@stefan1024]

this is me and my synths every weekend! :D

[@AI1983-r1k]

Thanks..from now on i am gonna take piano/keyboard lessons.

[@inspectahinsecure832]

Wow, i could'nt come to the last Superbooth, but after seeing this, i wish i would've just went straight to the FEZ :) Most of the time i had a feeling of an electronic jungle, something like in the game "Horizon-Zero Dawn". All that's missing to me is a drop or breakdown.

[@cryptoramma8458]

Bravo!!!

[@williamsonsam4420]

Wonderful! Nick Batt sent me here. :)

[@neon_one]

I like the legend of zelda night king thing going on. For some reason this reminded of a time I was asked to leave the keyboard section of Sam Ash for trying to play the ominous intro to Night Trap(sega cd game) way too loud. I think I was 9.

[@frederickbrummer5680]

brilliant

[@adamvolkinshtein1184]

Great! I met with Modular Man and I hope to meet you too :D I love your music. Big fan

[@loopop]

Thanks very much... and yeah, I love where he's going with his cases...!

[@BenA718]

That was something else! Great way to demo the synths, very out of the box thinking!

[@loopop]

Ben Asaro thanks! Check out the playlist - there are a couple more ;)

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Haha nice, really cool idea!!

[@markmiller149]

Gorgeous music. In case you haven’t seen SonicTalk from Sonicstate, Nick Batt and the boys gave your piece high marks. Nice work.

[@loopop]

Mark Miller thanks very much and re sonicstate - thanks for letting me know - very nice of them

[@raulb1707]

What a video!!!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

wow, amazing... I would say more, but I'm speechless....

[@nickkwas8028]

really cool concept!

[@paul_bismuth]

unbelievable...

[@MickBenjamins]

This is great!

[@darkcommission]

Genius

[@TROGULAR10000]

If you ever have the time, I would love to see, by you, with your typical table of contents, oscilloscope and frequency analyzer, a series on sound synthesis, going over the relevant electrical and sound theory then into the sound generation and modulation concepts with clear, exaggerated, and musical sound examples at all times. I would be happy to help script it, and even to do a French voice-over and Spanish subtitles (or vice-versa) for a non-English version. That certainly would be very helpful for me. I'm thinking in the style of your two-part series on synth tricks, but maybe in 5 or 6 installments going over the main concepts and demystifying them as much as possible (granted, the sum of your videos and thousands more out there may give one the same knowledge after a while but it would still be nice)

[@loopop]

Hey - thanks for the willingness to help - I'm actually thinking about the exact concept and how to put it together well. May is pretty packed with Moogfest but afterwards I hope to get to it. Feel free to PM me any ideas you think I should cover (no need to script...) and translations would be cool when it comes out!

[@Sven.Bornemark]

I really love your music! This pice is like wandering in an unknown landscape of beautiful sounds. I'm a harmony guy too, and I love the way you vary the timbres over time. Sweet!!

[@InkyDaCaT]

😂😂omg that's brilliant!😂😂

[@mariohawat]

This is fucking phenomenal!

[@billgilbride7972]

To put that jam session together like this, in this manner, lol, FANTASTIC execution!!! How many days was the edit?

[@loopop]

Thanks! About 2 days

[@phiscottvan7659]

top level !!

[@Chris6741]

Well done!!!

[@ektofre]

You blossomed the most elaborate flower from the rich and diverse soil of what we know as Superbooth. The way you put this together is more then perfect. It is such a unique form, surprising, it was always there. Were you inspired by any certain piece(s) of music. It is so pleasing. Thank you for making this! And if I could, I don't mean to be rude, but, MORE PLEASE!!! LIKE YESTERDAY!!!! I NEED THE ANECDOTE!!!

[@loopop]

Woah that’s a really nice comment - thank you! Revvin up the time machine to publish yesterday! And yes, I was inspired by a beautiful piece - it’s linked in the description - I wouldn’t have made this without stumbling upon it a day before actually - and I’m accepting suggestions for the next one if you want :) need that inspiration for the trip...

[@ektofre]

You are very welcome. Ahhah, forgot to look under me knows, kinda funny, the a to my q was already there, like yesterday, hu ha. Are you looking for suggestions for a song to cover or ideas in general?

[@loopop]

A song to cover would be a great start :)

[@RababaInc]

this gave me a synthgasm

[@loopop]

John Danker thanks and yeah I guess that explains the thumbnail

[@stormcrow70]

Clever!

[@CanCanPresents]

Great videos as always

[@ToyKeeper]

Very nice! Each of your synth mash-ups is great! I never see you posting music otherwise though; maybe I haven't looked in the right place?

[@loopop]

Thanks very much! I really appreciate it. No, no music elsewhere except in the reviews themselves. I typically just like jamming with gear and seeing where it goes in real time and am not (currently?) inspired to invest the extra effort in bringing a track to completion... it's only these mashups that get me going to finish a darn track ;)

[@ToyKeeper]

Okay, so perhaps I haven't missed anything after all. And, unfortunately, I know the feeling. Most of my music-device time is more meditative or recreational, and I rarely actually finish anything. But I'm hoping to change that, to actually finish and share songs again. I think it'll help to have a decent sequencer like a Digitakt or Deluge, but I don't know if that's real or if it's just the GAS talking.

[@loopop]

yeah, that's the beauty of recording everything at the show - there's no way to get more footage or second chances at re-recording, so finishing a track is a little bit easier... regarding sequencer - this whole channel is GAS talking ;) you can do great with, and do great without

[@ToyKeeper]

Regardless, the two things I run into the most (aside from the obvious problem of motivation), are not having good sequencing tools and not having a very good drum machine. My attempts to use a DAW for this have not been particularly enjoyable or productive. So I decided a while back to get a Digitakt as soon as I get some things done on my todo list. It does both and is pretty widely loved. Where the GAS really comes in is for stuff I don't have such an obvious need for, but is nevertheless amazing gear. Like a Novation Peak. Absolutely fantastic sound. Or, to be perhaps a bit more practical, an Analog Four. But now I've gone off into tangential lamentations, so I'll stop. All I was really getting at is that it's a treat whenever you put out a new song.

[@loopop]

Thanks again I really appreciate it - stuff like that motivates me to put out another one ;)

[@vasil3089]

Take notes, Superboothing KZbinrs. This is the way!

[@XanderEwald]

True master! What a coup

[@loopop]

Dacci Pucci thank you ;)

[@KorhanErel]

Great idea! :)

[@badx001]

Wow!
