This will definitely help me get started.

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

Great!

No worries, thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@johngalvin6352]

You've been a great help to me, thank you.

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

You are welcome!

[@GlobalDance]

Really great tutorial thank you for creating the video 😊😊

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

No problem, glad you liked it. 🙏🏻

[@Ariel51_artist]

This is probably the best tutorial i seen. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

Thank you. Glad it helped 👍🏻

[@JohnnysaidWhat]

this was really helpful thanks for posting! This synth is jam packed with features and sounds great. I still have a lot to learn. 😅

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

No problem. I'm still learning it too. lol

[@JakeBooth1]

Sounds great nice one 👍

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

Thanks ✌️

[@stevenchristianupton]

Thank you SO much! 🙏🏻

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

You're welcome. 🙂

[@Rafix-drummer]

Thanks friend for the answer. And how can you cancel the point next to the pattern from this situation? and return to the previous state?

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

If you mean return to the default pattern, you will have to reload it as far as I know.

[@wheelsfalloff]

Thanks for this simple demo. Unfortunately shift + rec isn't working for me, I don't get the menu and can't hear the metrenome...(i get the st menu instead) any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

You have to press play first and then hold shift and press record to activate the metronome 👍🏻

[@wheelsfalloff]

@SaturdayMusicMachines id tried that! Updating the firmware fixed it in the end. Thanks again for making the first s1 video I've come across that I could follow, a lot of the others assume I have some idea of what I'm doing (hence the metronome thing was driving me nuts!). :)

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

@wheelsfalloff Glad to hear you fixed the problem. I'm a beginner myself and still learning, that's why I started making videos mainly aimed at beginners as, like you say, most videos are made by people who know what they are doing, which I find a bit overwhelming. lol

[@marcuunk8564]

Great!! 🙏❤️🙏thanks!!

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

Thank you :)

[@MrLespaul01]

Thank you for this tutorial! I bought this machine 2 months ago and haven't a clue how to use it lol.

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

You are welcome.

[@johngalvin6352]

Lots of us in the same boat, but it's lots of fun finding out how all the same.

[@Rafix-drummer]

What does the dot next to the pattern number on the Aira S-1 device mean? And how can it be canceled? She locks the patterran's sound.

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

If a pattern has been edited, a dot lights up on the right side of the display.

[@Metamerist625]

When trying to record from the arpeggiator I do not get the same result as you do. The notes forming the arp get played back in the sequencer as a chord, do you have any thoughts on why that might be?

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

Hi. I'm afraid I can't help sorry as I no longer have the device.

[@RoaringTitties]

Do you know if the effects on the S1 work with audio in from other gear?

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

It could be possible, but it's something I haven't tried, sorry.

[@Rafix-drummer]

a question ? How to use the Roland S-1 Aira sound. Using a Novation launch key keyboard. What parameters or settings should be activated in S-1?

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

Do you mean controlling the s-1 via midi keyboard?

[@Rafix-drummer]

YES BRO@@SaturdayMusicMachines

[@-idott-9774]

@@Rafix-drummer set channel to 1, its set to channel 3 by default

[@revjimbob]

Thinking of getting one of these. Looks quite hard for a novice like me to pick up the varied options.

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

It's a bit full on that's for sure, but there are plenty of on-line resources to learn how to use it 👍🏻

[@revjimbob]

@@SaturdayMusicMachines Finally got one this week. The manual is shockingly bad, and only on-line. I read it, and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to make a tune.

[@user-rk2xj8gr3h]

S-1 is a quite powerfull Part in deed.

[@noodlingaround2023]

Great demo. Simple and clear. Up there with the best. Thanks

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

Thanks very much 👍🏻

[@igory36]

With what devices did u connect ur s-1?

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

None yet, lol.

[@poopoppy]

Thank you for not going through every sound this makes. I don't understand why these synth tutorials do this. I know what the LFO does. A toddler would figure it out. Why do these youtubers waste my time making horrible beeping noises for most of their tutorials. It just sounds like R2D2 making porn. I don't care I already bought it. That is what reviews are for. It is easier to retain the information, If it is just kept simple.

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

I agree with you, the fun is finding out what sounds a synth makes for one's self. I try and keep things simple with my videos. 😉

[@davefk]

What on earth are you doing, that is not how an arpeggios should sound…

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

Explain?

[@saardean4481]

@@SaturdayMusicMachines simply ignore the thought and creativity police

[@karl.weaver]

You picked the most sound, school boy error, thank you for your time, but no sub today.

[@SaturdayMusicMachines]

What do you mean?

Lol. Smoking some meff? Wtf are you saying G?
