Quadra Traveler: Beautiful World Instruments by UVI!

[@fransteeno]

I have 2 different Quadras and really like their flavor.

[@jeffs5019]

Incredible sounds...love UVI! Thanks Jef

The duduk (/duːˈduːk/ doo-DOOK; Armenian: դուդուկ IPA: [duˈduk])[1] or tsiranapogh (Armenian: ծիրանափող, meaning “apricot-made wind instrument”), is an ancient Armenian double reed woodwind instrument made of apricot wood.[2] It is indigenous to Armenia.

I always learn great music theory tips from you. Thanks for helping me be a better musician. 😁

[@jefgibbons]

Glad to hear it! Thanks Peter!

[@paulchapman112]

another great review Jef !

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Paul!

[@lofomuses]

Thanks!

[@jefgibbons]

Hey, thanks for the tip LoFo!! Much appreciated!

[@nico5]

Haha - looove that you avoided the more typical polka, waltz or film score feel and went straight to prog-ethno with that 7/8 signature!!

[@jefgibbons]

Yes! Prog ethno… my new genre! ;)

[@lofomuses]

I bought this one the day it was released, based more on the beautiful individual sounds than anything else (we all know how to layer, pan, sequence, etc... right?). This was my first foray into UVI -- I'm sure it won't be my last. Thanks Jef for the look into the instrument - I always like hearing your independent perspective. And, I think you did quite well with your pronunciation of Du-DUK...! 🙂

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks LoFo! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!

I find slowing down the tempo in Quadra traveler works for me

[@jefgibbons]

They seem fast! 32nd notes are usually too quick for me. Easy to slow down though.

[@KevinShrieve]

@@jefgibbons How do you slow it down? I'm not seeing a "x 1/2" option on the ARP page. I have Muted & Harmonics but I assume the interface should be the same.

Hi bro.. Macbook pro M2 16inch, For music production ki 16gb ram enough ah or 32gb needed ah This is for accessing komplete 14 collector's edition... plz suggest me

[@Mark-vf8op]

Your vids are nice and informative to say the least….. would like to see some trbl shooting on new computers M1/M2 processor in particular need to buy a new one after my macpro 2014 has so many overruns it’s almost folded to the size of a post it.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Mark! What kind of trouble shooting? Do you mean you’re having issues with M2 or that you’re concerned about having issues once you switch?

[@Mark-vf8op]

Issues switching…. I don’t mind making a whole new slate….but I want to have it in a propper setup “once and for all” I always have the feeling I’m missing things that should be e z 2 solve… mostly video editing that I’ve seen on YT…. But I just want my Ms20-mini microKorg Kaossalator machine jam/studio work without a glitch while I use all in the same time…. That’s about the recipe 🫣 but with your nice channel that’s a very common question for you perhaps! Daily basis stuff! Keep it those vids coming!

[@smyrnian_]

"Doo-dook" is correct

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks! Which one gets the emphasis? do-DOOK or DOO-dook

[@smyrnian_]

@@jefgibbons The second syllable is emphasized, and the "oo" (as in "blue") is short in both syllables. It's spelled with a German umlaut "düdük" in Turkey, but the instrument originates from Armenia.

[@jefgibbons]

@@smyrnian_ Perfect! It's got to be one of my favourite instruments in the world! I listened to Djivan Gasparyan years ago when working on a film soundtrack!
