[@zacksargent]

Can we just appreciate the editing that went into this?

[@afipia7]

the usual andrew huang quality video

[@b.a.s.4194]

This is something that always goes overlooked in his videos. Maybe he has a shortcut strategy, but I don't even get how he cuts all those split screens together exactly in rhythm with the moment they're being played in the song, all while changing the amount of images on screen every few seconds. I feel like that should take days to edit and he still manages to put out several videos a week, and make all the music itself. Maybe Ableton allows him to make music while keeping track of the video clips from which they came? Idk. That doesn't seem possible. If anyone knows, I'd be curious to find out. I guess he doesn't do quite as many insane split screen found-sound videos as he used to, but still!

[@MrTacoKingMC]

Ben Simon if you drag .mov files into ableton it chops then into a vid w audio

[@gonorrheaseehorn7204]

Once you hit 1 mil subs, you can definitely afford to outsource editing duties, rofl

[@mikeexits]

@@b.a.s.4194 Ableton Live does support videos. Speaking from years of experience editing videos myself, having video cuts in time with music and whatnot comes moreso from feeling it and being in that 'flow' state where you are so focused on what you're doing that you forget to eat, sleep, pee, whatever it is you'd break away from your work to do otherwise. It kinda just comes naturally. On your final run through making sure everything came out ok you can make fine adjustments to polish it even further. I've never made videos like Andrew does, but a lot of it is similar. Maybe one day I'll do synth videos or something similar, that sounds fun.

[@IanFelpel]

This is exactly the demo I've wanted to hear of this beast.

[@christianolivarius7175]

Dude you rock! I'm absolutely in love with your channel

[@zacgarbos1833]

The metalizor actually takes the triangle wave and adds higher pitched overtones made of smaller and smaller triangle waves all perfectly synced to the primary wave. I did alot of research when I got my microbrute

[@realentlessmc1710]

that last beat was super dope

[@257channel]

I really love your in-depth explanations, Andrew. Thanks for making high quality videos and even higher quality music!

[@justlivication]

Re-watching this after 4 years :) I want to rebuild my modular setup with this as the starting point, and your Ghost module will pair so perfectly with it as my first euro module back in the game!

[@themennissvids]

I love seeing more and more modular stuff on this channel!

[@XanderEwald]

Most people with 1 Mio subs pander to their audience, but you do weird modular and mutant chicken stuff. That’s an awesome display of passion and integrity!

[@urbanizedpizza]

this is one of the most popular new synths though

[@WARDISWARD]

03:00 Noppes , it's not an oscilattor feedback loop ( oscilators do not process audio , they generate ) It's a filter feedback loop .( process audio --->return to input = feedback )

[@Nokus416]

You know, I don't do any kind of music like this/use any of this type of equipment but the way you talk about your process and the way that you deliver your content makes me watch all of your stuff as soon as I can. I love it.

[@josearaujo9698]

Amazing video Andrew, I'm so hyped for Arturia's new releases!

[@DamnHeadHumpers]

This was the video that inspired me to get into modular synths back when I knew basically nothing about synths and music production. I feel kind of nostalgic watching this again. Thanks for the filter btw lololololo

[@sambrad]

I just love the direction your Chanel is going in. More analog synths but still some DAW stuff and old Andrew. Loving it!

[@AmbientMusicStudio]

Just ordered mine yesterday. I think it's the ultimate (so far) beast to build a portable eurorack system around for live gigging.

[@tomahawkkid2444]

This is why I have notifications.

[@frenchtrace9862]

I've been watching this, along with a few others, on repeat for months. Just placed my order and I'm so pumped.

[@hDansRandomCrud]

From the schematics, the Metalizer seems to be a cascaded series of stages based on Ken Stone's "Simple Wave Folder". Basically, it takes a triangle wave and instead of clipping it, bends it over on top of itself. Alone, the wave folder circuit is pretty neat. But cascaded like Arturia does, it becomes even cooler. It's one of my favorite features of my microbrute.

[@gasoline10head]

How would the Simple Wave Folder affect a sine wave? Since a triangle wave has higher odd:even harmonic ratio; while a sine is just a fundamental with no harmonics. Would it just be a more subtle version of the same effect? Is the Simple Wave Folder ADDING harmonics, or adding to harmonics already present? Thoughts?

[@mathias841]

@@gasoline10head I WANT TO KNOW

[@UreksatheJade]

@@gasoline10head you probably got one and have done this yourself in the last few years but you can patch the metalliser to effect any of the wave types

[@eliwynn3735]

This thing is great. It's a master controller and bass voice in my larger system I use in my videos every week and it never fails to perform for me. I just wish the sequencer had the triplet subdivision like the KeyStep...

[@mikescarborough9196]

[@TWFydGlu]

You should get an oscilloscope to see what the knobs do to the waveforms.

[@mortenydecom]

Absolutely solid review Mr. Huang - as always! The demo-part with your eurorack really made my day - so beautiful! :-)

[@Deeplycloseted435]

The “Metallizer” is a wave folder. Really cool they’ve unlocked this feature to be used on other waveforms in this new series

[@kiqyou]

omg THANK YOU for being the only person on yt to say "timbre" correctly!

[@robertsyrett1992]

Heeeeeeey! Someone who actually used the patchbay with eurorack rather than just mentioning that you can do that! Thank you, Andrew!

[@Mezurashii5]

Wow, this sounds amazing and it's straightforward! There's like a single thing I don't like about this, not including the price. Makes me wish I had money for synths.

[@OctaveZangs]

Great demo, I guess I need to get one for my arsenal.

[@samjohnson8994]

A wonderful surprise notification for a dope review!

[@TonyDX4Life]

I feel that "timbre" is a highly underused musical term and always appreciate when someone usues it! I wanted to mention, for someone who knows very little about modules, using the terms instead of abbreviations of different tools would be helpful. Great video!

[@MikeBrownMusic]

love the bit at the end with the modular synthesiser, the whole way through I was waiting to see if you'd use them together!

To be honest, this is probably the only synthesizer videos that I actually understood what was going on.

[@chumbuswumbusblumpis]

Just bought one! So excited to play with it

[@BNLNRD]

The metalizer sounds like Hard Sync, meaning that you're controlling another oscillators pitch with the metalizer knob which causes the triangle wave to reset its phase whenever that oscillator's wave hits 0 volts. It's a nice effect. :)

[@Carina5707]

I love that you did your own “ooh” and “aah” track lmao

EFFIN AWESOME REVIEW! Much better than theirs. You just sold one. I was stuck between this and the 2S but the sequencer is a force and I can always just output to a controller. I can't wait to use it as a vocoder. YAY! Great stuff.

[@YurievOlmos]

With all your analog equipment you could put an oscilloscope/spectrum analyzer to a very good, didactic, use. I've been thinking about getting a simple 25 KHz USB oscilloscope (requires computer) because standalone units are crazy expensive. There are models from Owon or Hantek under $100 USD

[@cyberschn1tzel997]

Yuriev Olmos audacity is a basic spectrum analyser just with a microphone

[@nsiepmann]

Awesome. Modular jam at the end was especially good! As someone very much from the linear, DAW-based, physical instrument world, I'd love to see a video from you some day about sequencing - I just feel like I haven't been able to get my brain in that mode yet...

[@nonameyet7163]

loving the video as per usual, i'd love to see you do a video of microtones in music. I think it would be interesting to see them used in some poppier sounding music, as I've really only heard it in some psych rock, experimental music and the traditional folk stuff that uses them.

[@avrakotas]

Try holding the shift button and use knob 1 or 2 when adjusting gate or velocity values. On the Beatstep pro doing that will allow you to affect all the gate and velocity values at once. Same company, same basic architecture. Maybe it is there.

[@jasper24601]
