Microbrute + Volca Beats: Blow your head

First play with Arturia Microbrute and Volca beats. Trying to figure the JB's classic Blow your head with James Brown on the Moog...

[@tremolo664]

Demo starts at 3:39

[@AveMcree]

dude your son was actually getting down! good work

[@thewotsit]

That's why they call him Microbrute.

[@calbostic6565]

the synth is called a microbrute

[@monomakes]

He's really gettin' his funk on!

[@Stadsjaap]

Epic little patch you got there... Big up.

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

Junior really got down with it!!! Love it!

[@fifes0ul]

Public enemy no.1 Brillant sample from Fred Wesley and the JBs

[@ArrayzableMusic]

That's a great demo! The vBeats packs some funk! Cozy christmas!

[@dbridal1]

damn that kid killed it at the end lol.

[@tiefseetourist928]

💪😀cool jammin'session with ya' lil boy

[@SPAZZOID100]

You nailed the bass patch though.

[@MicroBanshee]

Nice basic set-up - great sound you've got on the microbrute, I get the feeling this could just be the start of your synth journey, if so, welcome aboard :)

[@seanmahoney7722]

Five years and this is still fucking cool.

[@grandmasterlee]

As the beat is being built I was instantly reminded of The Roxy from Beat Street....'I was born and raised on the South Bronx streets, I'm so proud to say that my life's complete'. I'll buy a Volca Beats for this alone.

[@77Andee77]

Love you bro

[@badappletreetv944]

“The brother don’t think he’s nice. He KNOWS he’s nice!”

[@MarneusAndMilkyBlood]

Cool little setup!

[@theolarso]

love the end xD

[@bboymac84]

Bboy classic break!

[@Varue]

I thought it said Blow Your Load and i was like zamn this about to be lit asf

[@TheChristianherud]

Mind blown👍

[@davidgoode7416]

Awesome!!!

[@josephsaczawa329]

How do you sync these without using alturia software?

[@BobCorraro]

Very nice! "electro-blues" :D

[@SPAZZOID100]

I guess you have never heard the original version??

[@SamDavis1978]

I guess you have very few friends James. I only though it was spotty teenagers who post negative remarks on videos of people having a bit of fun?

[@BobCorraro]

James Reeno no :)

[@Anders1236]

I loved this 😊

[@jorgenstil]

so much negativity, this is just for fun right? seems like it! people probably get misleaded by the title, or all of them had a bad day :-p

[@SamDavis1978]

Jørgenstil I think that was my mistake... I was just referring to the title of the song - not that it would blow their minds! Lesson learned... Accidental click bait!

[@couchcamperTM]

@@SamDavis1978 it's ok, the beats alone can blow your mind, but it takes your son to blow whole heads xD I remember having tons of fun on my parents home organ back in the 70s and 80s. a microbrute is even more fun I bet^^

[@couchcamperTM]

so I got a microbrute and I can say: the old organ was more fun lol - what a miserable key action. but with an external keyboard it's really good.

[@paulbrendan8034]

Nice I have my daughter on the korgs and she loves them

[@bboydrew71]

Very dope its all about the breaks ktf

[@Probe2John]

I'm not a dad yet but if that was my kid I'd be so chuffed. Quality. 👌

[@SpikeBlighty]

That kid was rocking the bells.

[@laurencevanhelsuwe3052]

For Sale: one Microbrute. Home studio, no smoking, no pets.. only the occasional toddler having a wild jam with it ;-)

[@ethanhunt6926]

Laurence Vanhelsuwe how much?

[@calbostic6565]

Laurence Vanhelsuwe how much do you want it for?

[@armandolara1290]

i dont like kids so ill pass

[@DoloPlus]

waa wawaa waaa waaa

[@skyreadersociety6183]

must be super fun for the kids

[@hemibell]

This reminds me of Public Enemy

[@mbanini6848]

Hi . I wonder how keys feel in micrbrute. Are they small size with no weight , right?

[@lolicopter9392]

I thought the title said "Microbrute vs. Volca Beats."The Microbrute can make some pretty good beats if you are creative enough.

[@TheActualJae]

Nice! And so young!

[@PawsleyDirt]

Sounds creepy...

[@tomblaze2]

Groovin

[@Deep_Flux]

Awesome man!

[@mickswagger6086]

cool work jack

[@HrafnNordhri]

public enemy number 1

[@HrafnNordhri]

grimkreaper look up the song by public enemy then come question me.

[@HrafnNordhri]

grimkreaper sorry, I misread it.

[@bboydrew71]

What goes on welllllllllllll

[@phuturemusic]

bose! nice!

[@gvoid]

Do you have to plug in the both to an audio interface to hear the sound or do they have built in speakers?

[@willie530]

This is almost a How To Basic video.

[@reazallykhan8614]

lucky boy

[@Mio_moy_Mio-97]

Божественная мелодия))

[@breakingthebubblemusic]

How are you controlling the clock ? I cant see Midi or sync cable from the Volca Beats .

[@danieldemayo6209]

It was the kid the whole time hahaha

[@ryanb7074]

nice! funny video

[@LohPro]

133 people don't like nice things. Good job to both of you!

[@Digithalis]

Cool

[@bubblizzthegamer]

Nice

[@theplourde]

How are you recording the sound? Is it through the Bose speaker?

[@naturallivesession]

jejejejeje. petro es el mejor... los antioqueños conscientes queremos a petro

[@CarlKieser1989]

Are you just using the Bose soudsystem as an amplifier ?

[@SamDavis1978]

Yep - for the purpose of this first experiment and ease of setup I just plugged bother the Microbrute and Volca beats into a 3.5mm splitter thing and into my Bose speaker...

[@SamDavis1978]

I'm new to the world of synths, but my usual setup is a Nord Electro and I use that with a Roland KC Amp, so if I use the synth properly I shall play it through that... Just need to learn to play it properly first!

[@WeZte]

is your volca modded?

[@Decoy303]

I actually like the snare on the beats.

[@debiandevicedebian8714]

Nice 😂

[@klaasj7808]

my son of 11 months also jams on the micro and volca bass. haha its nice to see that music is not age limited. also not genres. Look at Sir Christopher Lee who made metal when he was over 90 haha.

[@StarsWithScars]

nice now get a fxpedal or kaoss pad and you can make some good sounds

[@noninoninonioni]

Beastie Boys :)

[@johnredford1461]

How the fuck do you get the bass to sound like that

[@Rocknoob49]

Im thinking about getting the microbrute as my very first synthesizer since im more and more interested in getting into it. Think the Microbrute is a good coice?

[@threejean2011]

It's a great choice, especially if you're a beginner like me.

[@Rocknoob49]

Alright, thanks

[@jadenduchene4972]

For a first synth, it's a good place to start. It'll teach you a lot and it's easy to learn. Lots of fun

[@Rocknoob49]

Jaden Duchene actually i picked mine up this saturday!! played yesterday all day and am in love. only hard part is getting into the DAW (cubase ai 8 was free with my Ur22)

[@jadenduchene4972]

Cubase is quirky as fuck. I've had a lot of issues with it but starting to get the hang of it more. Glad to hear, enjoy it! In love with mine too

[@dkmu6]

Do you have soundcloud id?

[@SamDavis1978]

Not masses on there but... soundcloud.com/sole_78Thanks!

[@jonasvm]

please explain to your son that it is a mono synth

[@-_______-_______-______-]

at 3:11 it hurts my nails!!

[@mondamnil]

hmm

[@SPAZZOID100]

Incorrect drum pattern.

[@SamDavis1978]

Yeah, to be honest it was the bass I was trying to figure... having a beat over it was an after thought!

[@zanehampton354]

Confused who's better, you or your son

[@SamDavis1978]

How rude. I think my son would be very upset to think that you even think here's a comparison... ;-)

[@zanehampton354]

Sam Davis Haha, tell him i'm sorry

[@be2u546]

LOL

[@WARDISWARD]

sorry nothing is blown here ; And .;the bose isn't really a good reference system , it adds psychoacoutic bass .

[@kanyefuck7018]

I bet you are great fun at parties.

[@WARDISWARD]

just saying ..no offence . If your serious about monitoring , avoid psychoacoutic systems . Where I live we don't have parties ..only orgies

[@AveMcree]

dude why can't we just enjoy this video? he did his thing

[@WARDISWARD]

sure.

[@federicocaggiano1580]

blow your head is a track produced by Fred Wesley and the JB's, he has done a perfect job and you are an idiot if you looked at his speaker insted listen

[@jimmydiprisco5648]

this blows
