Every single synth should have a gamecube style handle. this is the future.

[@larsnetzel]

Yellow in the looper engine means looping with overdub.

[@Blizzardofizz]

Really appreciate your breakdown and take on this! Every other video on the Chompi on youtube is alot of Elitists just dunking on it and shaming anyone who would want to play around with it, so it's nice to see someone actually enjoying and breaking it down to show it's uses and capabilities.

"You can record fart sounds and play them chromatically, you can loop things … Take it on the go with you! You know, it is battery powered. Take it places and record your friends' farts, and make songs out of those!" Jeremy Blake's Secrets to Successful Music Production, out now!

[@darwiniandude]

Makes sense he started with an SK-1. It's a cheap and tiny powerhouse of possibilities for back then.

[@Dungeon_of_Regret]

When I was 10 yrs old, my parents gifted me a Yamaha vss-30, which had a multisample function. I will tell you that thing got farted into more than anything on earth.

[@SpikesStudio3]

I think its part of product testing. Farts and burps chromatically.🎼💨

[@ToyKeeper]

It's fun though. Record random stuff and make music. Highly recommended. I got a friend to record a bunch of belches, and I made a song out of it. (it's on my channel if you're curious)

[@rvller]

For farts sound OP-1 is much better!

[@Dysiode]

UwU Edit: 2:39 I am forever in awe how you're able to just... hammer out an amazing bit of music on something that even when I know how it works is completely alien to my brain. Much love Edit edit: Your set dressing is sooo good and cozy! UwU!

Don't make me want this, Jeremy.

[@RedMeansRecording]

I am sorry

[@radringtail]

A friend just showed me your channel a few days ago and despite knowing next to nothing about music production I am so glad I’m here ❤

[@frixyg2050]

It looks like it really difficult to carry around. Good thing they added a handle!

[@slavikdoter]

This chompi handle lets me finally get a grip on my GAS

[@gavinstrangeakajamfactory9746]

I chuckled with joy multiple times watching this! Your fun with it is infectious! I have a Chompi and this is an inspiration to just build some loops and just JAM! ❤

[@DarkenProject]

What a wonderful little friend! Thank you for sharing Jeremy :) I was surprised by how intuitive the controls were despite their minimalism. They developed a nice little design language or principle that I was able to pick up on. When you wanted to put the effects to be after the tape, I thought "oh, it's probably the black keys under the effect knob", and it was! I don't think this is the device for me, but I love what they've created here with Chompi and I enjoy watching your hardware showcases nonetheless!

[@DavidDeLuge]

As expected, this is the best thing I have heard come out of a Chompi. Great video! 👍🏻

[@catherines.2955]

I learned some new things watching this! What a great walk through of the Chompi- and cool jams too!! Thank you!

[@nosferatus777]

I'm eagerly waiting for your next chompi video🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@dylancole9222]

I loved that you were having fun. It made it really nice to watch.

[@CarlStevens-ch4hi]

My favorite videos are the ones where it seams like your having fun!

[@BdotRASS]

Chompi looks super fun, I really hope they get an eu distributer as the cost/postage/import tax situation is a little much right now.

[@spiralinfected7836]

You can order it for 679€ at "Schneiders Laden" in Germany.

[@matthewkillion5933]

Thank you jermy. Excited for more chompasaurus tips and tricks.

[@Designguidetv]

your videos are the best man! I feel like I need one of these even though I am not a musician, just an amateur dabbler. But it's therapeutic somehow to use other parts of your brain and just chill and be creative. Ok ordered one!

[@Designguidetv]

also thank you for sharing your thoughts on autism, i have had similar feelings since I was 8, but never diagnosed. Some of us just have very advanced ways of coping with it so it's hard to tell. I'm still not sure myself either.

[@SquirrelAssault]

oh no I’m getting this now after op-1 and you are master at these it always inspires me!

[@JohnDarrington88]

You made me decide to keep this device.

[@esersound1]

Fantastic job! Fantastic and sweet little tool, which is one of the most inspiring thing out now on the market. Even after knowing about the lack of some functions.

[@andrewfraser2760]

Really nice demonstration 👍

[@firekeeper09]

I would love to see some straight jam sessions with this thing. Really cool and fun to watch workflow.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Wow, really wonderful!

[@ToyKeeper]

Loop jamming is so fun. I miss it. I moved away from that style of workflow because I wanted to be able to do more fleshed-out songs, but it's hella fun for just messing around.

"Hey babe, RMR dropped a new video!"

[@GeesebreathLive]

Looks really fun to mess around with

[@rogerzinn8898]

Nice demo!

[@thomashoffend4299]

Great demo video. My primary concern with buying one of these is bugs in the firmware. It looks like at least one update has been made since they started shipping. The initial videos by folks like Ricky Tinez and Hainbach showed bugs occurring in real time. It is good the devs are focusing on the software now. Is it time to think about pulling the trigger or should I wait a while? I don't think there is another piece of hardware out there that does the varispeed recording thing as well.

[@kaitlyn__L]

The developers apparently specifically worked on new speed interpolation algorithms so it would be up to Hainbach’s standard haha

[@thomashoffend4299]

@@kaitlyn__L Based on what I have heard so far, they did a good job with it!

Noob here, I work with kids with special needs and when I first saw this come out I thought: Aha! This would be the perfect instrument for many kids! But the things you do here seems quite advanced. Do you have any thoughts on this, any sugestions on other gizmoes that could fit better?

[@MrAw3sum]

this thing is 600 dollars, if you want an instrument for kids i'd suggest something else haha. imagine having to replace this when it get broken or dropped on the ground. or spilled on

[@InnerVisions68]

I hate that blue LEDs are a rarity. Being color blind in a world where red, yellow, and green are the default “indicator colors” sucks. I wish being able to choose colors in plugins, in hardware indicator lights, in games, etc. was the norm … In a perfect world …

[@Blend3rman]

I relate so hard with this, colorblindness is a very overlooked disability

[@userx8r]

What are you talking about

[@InnerVisions68]

@@userx8r @Blend3rman I’m talking about indicator colors used in hardware and software most often include the colors people with color blindness, like the red-green color blindness variety, have the most trouble distinguishing between. Yellow from light green, light green from light blue, blue from purple, orange from yellow, etc. It really sucks. Blue and yellow - easily distinguishable. Yellow and red. Red and blue. It’s a shame that blue is a relatively rare LED color. But indicator lights that change between yellow, orange, and green are terrible for people with color blindness. And there are TONS of us. It is not a rare condition.

[@InnerVisions68]

@@userx8r If using a light that changes between three colors to indicate status or mode, yellow, red, and blue would be pretty ideal …

I forgot all about that until now 😆

[@cheshiescorner]

[@NEKRWSPHERE]

I'm not sure I dig it. To me it seems like the example of the trend with manufacturers where they make new gear just to make new gear, counting on feeding someone's GAS rather than thinking of a particular niche where something like this could fit in well, or introducing some novel ways in which it allows one to write music or perform live, perhaps offering some aspect which no other manufacturer offers, or a combination of aspects not found on other gear, something I always thought Roli was pretty good at. Here instead, - you have cumbersome and out-of-place features such as the Gamecube handle. A handle is handy when it's a heavy piece of gear that's meant to be portable which Chompi isn't. While small form factor strongly suggests they were going for portability, - the handle definitely ruins that particular aspect being what I call: "space eater" (a take on "space heater"). It would perhaps make a lot more sense if it was marketed for small children, as their first intro to music making, but a microSD card and its menu diving complexity swipes that idea off the table. And it would still be possible to get through to wider audience of hardware enthusiasts, except ooops, - the puerile "I put stickers on everything I see and then doodle on them" looks is something too few of us would appreciate. Even Teenage Engineering uses this form factor and looks rather sparingly. So far the only aspect I'm appreciative of is plenty of ports.
