Such a brilliant observation - Thanks for making me chuckle : )

[@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.

[@musicguy8912]

@@musicguy8912 We will never now.

[@realentlessmc1710]

that last beat was super dope

[@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

[@christianolivarius7175]

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

[@257channel]

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

[@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!

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

[@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!

[@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 )

[@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

[@Snowak1]

I love your videos and the quality of them Much love from Germany

[@tomahawkkid2444]

Im a big fan! I love all your music, a minute ago I watched good run and now I just can't stop. your a real inspiration. thanks. ♥

[@samjohnson8994]

A wonderful surprise notification for a dope review!

[@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.

[@sambrad]

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

[@frenchtrace9862]

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

[@davidmjackson7784]

Just bought one of these a couple of weeks back and your tutorial is exactly what I needed. Going to rewatch it many more times. Thanks.

[@notice_fpv]

I love your sounds and how proudly your synth rig is displayed on your desk since your "coming out as a synth user" video.

[@mortenydecom]

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

[@addisonbenner7555]

Your videos are so awesome!!!!

[@smallgay]

I just picked mine up as my first hardware synth, the amount of capabilities for sound design and for expanding upon its sound in the future with modules is kind of what drew me to it the most. Also I love how when I connect it to my computer and I open up fpc in fl it turns my 2s into a drum machine :D

[@AmbientMusicStudio]

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

[@madebya2541]

Amazing explanation Andrew! Really enjoyed watching this!

[@samjohnson8994]

I’m so glad you reviewed this. It looks dope!

[@xeonx2793]

Andrew is on a roll with uploading

[@audiomiragemusic]

Top notch first look! Well done!

[@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!

[@DanHigdon]

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

@@UreksatheJade no i still dont have one, or any wavefolder effect, and am still curious regarding the geometry

I've never been more fascinated by something which I have absolutely no idea what I'm hearing or looking at. How does anybody even get started learning about this stuff?

[@samjohnson8994]

[@TWFydGlu]

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