Is This Synthesizer a Tool of the Devil?

[@Seethe-wolf]

When Mr. Red Means Recording has fun i have fun. Also good to see how no matter what presenter is showing of the strega it seems like an eldritch noise beast. Its cool how unique this device is

[@dreamstaticsounds]

One of your best concepts yet. We really need to talk horror fiction soon.

[@IntertemporalTraveler]

His get up truly is on point. I think that’s what really sells it. The black turtle neck with gold chain really nails the cult vibes.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

„Strega“ is witch in Italian, yes, but what is cooler: the same etymology led to „strigoi“ in Romanian, which are evil demons that fly around at night, and in turn this led to the Romanian word for „screaming“, which is „striga“ 👀 There are related words in other European languages, like “stryge” in French, meaning woman who sucks the blood of children. Fantastic video, Jeremy ❤

[@argonautilus9540]

I think there’s been a terrible mistake. Instead of being discouraged, I find myself…. drawn to this…. horrifically beautiful…. machine…. oh no…. Jeremy….. why…..? (That ending song is extraordinary)

[@SequentialFrequencies]

Literally the best instrument demonstration video I have ever watched. I have had the strega since launch and every time I use it I can extract something new.

[@seangarland]

Congratulations on creating the greatest synth video of all time.

[@DreaminInDigital1]

This has been my favorite Red Means Recording video to date. I love this channel so much for it's wealth of knowledge, but the flavor you slap on it is amazing Jeremy!

[@thelanavishnuorchestra]

Jeremy, you having way too much fun. Please, keep it up. The end piece is lovely and haunting.

[@WalkinonSunshyne]

The editing is so good in this. Love the subtle glitches. Very well executed. Great job.

[@I_am_Bri8ri]

I’ve loved these videos. Keep making them!

[@wickeddubz]

Atmosphere, lights, scenario, outfit , strega, demonic sounds - all stars aligned, lulz generated, this is what yt is for. Originality and creativity. Thanks for amazing episode!

[@Ve55el]

Jeremy...I can't tell you how much I love this channel. My life is a dumpster fire of nonsense. This content brings me such happiness and reminds me that not all people are awful. I'm so thankful for you doing your thing.

[@PiotrstrashcanŚmietnikPiotra]

Ok, that piece at the end was truly spectacular. I don't have a clue how all those synths work but I am glad to see that at least you know!

[@AynenMakino]

You are SO good at this!

[@alex-r-t]

Aside from the video being amazing (I always appreciate being infected by slurping hellspawn), I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your usage of the word "festooned"

[@RedMeansRecording]

FESTOON

[@GabeMillerMusic]

God this was glorious. All hail the soul slurping void noises

[@jon_gee]

Incredible. The Strega review I was always dreaming of! Love you J!!!!

[@Pro-gressive]

I, for one, welcome the void and its spiky embrace. Edit 1: Mick Gordon would have wrangled some demons from this for the Doom OSTs. Edit 2: this whole video gives me analog horror vibes, record it all to VHS.

[@RedMeansRecording]

Definitely inspired by the analog horror movement

[@lumberjacked5270]

For some reason I think you'd make an excellent star trek character sir

[@Eleth]

Super good, the intro part was fun and the contrapunct with the outro was superb.

[@voxmnemonic]

This is really fun, great job Jeremy as always

[@kevtetreault]

Absolutely loved this one! I have to start a new Halloween-themed YT playlist with this video, your video on Ghost, and go digging through your channels for more. That was a ton of fun, thanks for making it.

[@herbiebrady568]

The turtleneck and chain was the first thing I noticed in the thumbnail. Immediately knew this vid would be a banger.

[@zackcolbourne6921]

I love that your response to this device was "if Make Noise won't explain it, why should I?"

[@Death_By_Media]

“ This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within “ as Alessandro Cortini or Bob as he then called himself said often during the creation of this key to the doorway between worlds 😂

[@gerhardbergher4040]

Void Slurp. That’s going to stick for a while. Well done.

[@drowninginreverb_AP]

I didn't expect this hilarious nonsense to turn into a useful tutorial and brilliant satire at the same time! This is fantastic. Wait, I think I can hear the Void calling to me... through cavernous reverb of course.

[@ChuckLeone]

The beautiful ambient track at the end was a nice touch.

[@Axoulbicoul]

This by far your best concept ever made, I just love the story telling of it

[@Antionio3]

Really one of the best video's on synthesizer presentation I have seen so far. This one actually forced me to look from begin to finish, and repeat is again. I think I may have been posessed now.

[@boikomet]

adding the strega on my list again after this beast of a video :D great job!

[@Truthasvictim]

Barely into this, but know immediately, I am watching a humourist in arms. I'd watch this for no other reason than the humour alone. Brilliantly written, presented and edited, thanks so much for this!

[@nomdeplore7604]

I love Strega sooooo much!!! I just got PWM's Malevolent and the two are now best buds.

[@Daphoid]

I have yet to pair mine, but that is a wonderous idea. I shall add the Quadrantid Swarm to the mix as well for anarchy.

[@nomdeplore7604]

@@Daphoid yes

[@dmanh5144]

You really are quite creative and original as well as talented at making these videos out to be both entertaining and informative.

[@heatherpruner2284]

🙌🏽😈🖤❤️‍🔥🔥You always go above and beyond to make your educational content fun and engaging, and you’ve outdone yourself this time! (I also just listened to you on the Podular Modcast today and I so appreciate everything you shared. I only wish I had gotten to talk to you more at Velocity.) Keep up the great work, Jeremy!

[@nickygrillet786]

This is so good 🖤 I love your videos, i love Alessandra Cortini's music (how good is volume massimo?!) and i loved the eldritch non euclidean soundwaves you've poured into my earholes. I hope i can PLAYTOUCH with strega one day as well and join the void in communion. Tekeli-li, tekeli-li!

[@Rukkus333]

This is, by far, the single best product review in existence. I'll pray for you

[@davidb7723]

I love the strega! It's so chaotic and magical. Thanks for making a video on it 💜

[@valdir7426]

had a 'ah!' moment yesterday; was watching the show 1899 (music by Ben Frost) and during the credits I was like "uh this looks a lot like a strega". I google "Ben Frost strega" and bam this was precisely the track he made for the make noise strega collective album (track is periphera). I've had a strega for a while and can recognize its particular tone from a mile apparently.

[@davidmcgirr]

I feel like you're my cousin, Marvin Berry, introducing me to that new sound I've been looking for.

[@ungetuem]

Ever since the new years walk in the park I have been digging your work more and more and more. From the dicks video, to the superbooth docu, the dnb history piece. You're absolutely nailing it Jeremy!

[@MD_Builds]

I feel the void calling me now! added: That outro was nice :D Who knew the devils work would be so peaceful :)

[@ilthurynel7391]

You made me smile and laugh, getting me out of my depression for the duration of the video.

[@VojoMojo]

We need to see the bloopers for this Jeremy 😂

[@michaelc5437]

This is brilliant and I like the synth too

[@marcsouciepiano7772]

I love the Bling. You are forging quite the Ganster Genius look for yourself!

[@Namisar]

God I love turtle neck and chain Jeremy

[@saturniidev]

I'm only three minutes in and samsonite has already convinced me I need one of these

[@i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

This is an instrument a Chaos Space Marine would play while he awaits his next battle.

[@XtianApi]

Jeremy you are really doing right with your channel. I've drifted away a little bit, I admit it. I always come check out what you are doing once in a while, but I'm hooked again brother. Keep going!

[@PabloGarcia-sf7bn]

Yes! The plan is now complete. Interdimensional rift open. Ready for transport. Godspeed Audionauts.

[@surrealchemist]

I need to get one of those stands… and I need to play my Strega more.

[@alexthebeast]

This is probably my favorite content I have seen in a while

[@ingolf7411]

A great presentation of an unusual instrument. Taking a Strega, a Lyra-8 and a Mixtur Trautonium you will be able to create sounds from "outer space".

[@azakusilov]

This is beautiful. I have tears on my face. Something happened to me. But I don't know what was it.

[@BenODen]

It is the siren sound of the void, you must answer.

[@alancooper7029]

Nice work Jeremy! Made me smile.

[@somehumanrequired4676]

All reviews everywhere should adopt this format. How am I supposed to watch Loopop now?

[@Feceroll]

this is my favorite channel on the tubes

[@grimelandmusic]

Love this so much!!! When it comes to red means recording content the weirder the better as far as I'm concerned 😂

[@MadScientistCreech]

Love the "Liberate te ex inferis" snippets! 🔥🔥🔥 Excellent video overall, lovely synthtroduction

[@i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

Oh wow, i just noticed the special rack for the side-power-plug of the makenoise instruments. *jelly commences*

[@rcannonp]

My spiritual armor must be thick because every sound that I’ve heard out of this thing makes me anxious, and I have to go sit in silence to recalibrate after listening to it.

[@i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

I feel like this subtle sarcasm fits you very well. ;-)

[@darylccc]

Im getting Unsolved Mysteries vibes. Good fun, nice work! Didn't actually realise how versatile the strega could be...

[@jriceblue]

I will have you know that I ordered one just now. Just right now. This very moment, right before posting this comment. Because of you. It spreads.

[@WasabiNoise]

I've been disconnected for a while and I come back just to find this lawyer, Jeremiah Samsonite talking about depositions... I'm not well versed in English so I paused the video, walked to the local library, asked for a dictionary, learnt the alphabet in english, and looked for the word deposition. Its definition? "the removal of the body of Christ from the Cross", so it all checks out. Back from the library I also had to take a deposi.. I mean... go to the toilet... and came back home, unpaused the video, and kept watching the video. I don't know who you are or where Jeremy is, but this is weird, and I like weird, I'll keep watching, thank you for listening to my podcast.

[@bobschrei2029]

It sits on my desk since it was released to do its havoc. I look at it every day😂 it’s beautiful and intimidating at the same time. Run Borderlands thru this and it is enlivened 10 fold😀🙏🏻

[@EdwardAlexander-ABF]

I thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@MarshalerOfficial]

You'll have to go through walls of noise to get to generative and or normal sounding tone paradise with this one 😅.

[@OG_Mereles]

This device is producing sound through alchemy, but Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain something of equal value must be lost. I believe, a part of our soul is given when using this device.

[@teamdoc1977]

No surprise that such a creative guy is also hilarious! Love that concept :)

[@paradiddle16]

Great flair for the dramatic!

[@TheRealMageCore]

Beautiful piece of art and advertising. RMR🤯

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Thanks Jeremy- that really needed saying. Not least because a tiny tiny part of me is slightly intrigued by this monster, and the rest of me wants nothing to do with it. At all. Thank you.

[@AndyVonal]

Fantastic work! Absolutely loved that! Baphomet>Atbash = sofia = wisdom (apparently!). I have clearly read far too many books about the Knight Templar than is good for me, which is why I stopped. My head went to some not good places.

[@flibodoor123]

Strega is doctrine, it brings me comfort in its obscurity.

[@TobiasSteiner]

The most accurate represenation of modular synthesis "experimentation" sessions

[@vsd1988]

Behold! Red Means Devil!

[@electricdawn2258]

OMG! The horror! 🙀 ... I think you may have just sold my soul to the devil... Need to order... Strega... I... need it! - Fantastic video, btw. 😉

Thank you for taking on this most difficult task.

This is a very entertaining video!

Tony Rolando ... and Dawn of the end of mankind. Yes, yes, oh yes ... he knew exactly what mayhem he had wrought.

That beast is in direct contact with Azathoth. You have unmade us all sir. I must now remove my face and speak the words.

[@beepboop4846]

On a Sunday no less. Perfect. I'd also like to take a second to appreciate the drip

[@theoptimisticmetalhead7787]

Oh my god, a pic of David S Pumpkins as Rob Zombie??? Masterful.

[@miniman6565]

Remind me which SCP article this is? I feel like it has something to do with the the Fifthists but who knows…. Fantastic work as always. Glad you’re having fun with these.

[@RedMeansRecording]

God I love SCP

[@tihkal]

Just bought one too ahhhh i literally can't watch your vids without buying lol

[@chambre466]

you slurp, I love you and your touch

[@RaquelFoster]

2:01 I'm David Pumpkins, MAY-ANNNNNN!

[@mauriziofaggion]

You sound in love and terrified at the same time when you talk about that thing 😂

[@NegativeReferral]

These patches are actually really soothing to me:)

[@thefrankcoda]

This is BY FAR the best demo I’ve seen of this beast and also made me finally decide to get one!

[@vaaalsongs4867]

“They want to feed…” def one of the best videos on Strega, and def the funniest 😂

[@real_anxst]

I have a Strega, in order to be one of the enslavers, rather than the enslaved.

[@theoptimisticmetalhead7787]

This is one of the best reviews for a product I've ever seen

[@videolabcreators]

Best synth video of 2023🎉❤

[@paulmesser4853]

Brilliant. This makes me want to get one... yet I am terrified.

[@lesynthlofi]

Heartbeat of the Beast! Fantastic video, concept and execution!

[@monodux]

Bahaha! Love this demo. I always knew these dark arts would awaken such abominations one day.
