What I love about the S-1 is that it allows you so easily to step into different genres - from minimal techno to ambient to drone - everything seems possible :) thank you for this demonstration!

[@Toughinger]

Acid it can also do verry well

[@4estral]

I hope you can make more S1 ambient videos, it's a powerful machine that has been neglected too much in the ambient music community.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

I'll do it!

[@mankismelbournejay]

Subbed 👍​@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic

[@tybowesformerlygoat-x7760]

Beautiful

[@alitna]

Beautiful! You have truly demonstrated the S-1 can be a fantastic ambient machine!

[@richardnja]

a visitor at home had one, hooked him up to my stereo and was so impressive for such a small device...was like a mini rave happening in my lounge! but you have shown me the mellow side of it and i thank you greatly

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

The size can be misleading. This is a real synth, very capable and versatile! Thanks for the feedback

[@thebombshelter_drums]

Love these vids man, keep them coming. Learning loads with your help, thank you.

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Very well done! And calming.

[@treeface5000]

Your videos are showing me there's so much depth to this little device. I've barely begun to scratch the surface on mine. Thank you! 🙂

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Keep on digging!

[@oscarjmg]

Keep making this videos!

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

yes!

[@oscarjmg]

@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic do more with this synth and maybe the korg fm2

[@skydevaaben]

Lush lush sounds.Calming and present ♥️🔥

That was an awesome presentation, thank you

Nice! Very ambient result

Really good. Thank you so much.

nice smooth sound

[@_s.d.s._]

Love your breakdowns, they make something that seems complex really approachable.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

I'm glad, thanks for the feedback

[@alebenages745]

Im loving your S1 ambient videos!! may I ask you something? How is the name of this function? 1:19

[@jeffoff7795]

Amazing video. I got really interested in creating ambient music a few years ago during a lengthy period of insomnia. I really love what you created here and the presentation is top notch. Cool little synth, too.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

I'm also into ambient music since few years. Before I used to produce beats. The creative freedom is the best part. Thank you for your feedback!

[@Theechoes-dp8cx]

Non posso fare altro che continuare a ringraziarti! Che ne pensi di fare qualche video tutorial di questo piccolo synth? Verrebbe fuori una bella guida dalle tue mani e conoscenze! Grazie mille e continua così! A giorni mi arriva il behringer mini vs pro…avresti qualche video??? Ahahahaha

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Certamente penso che farò ancora qualche video sull'S-1. Non ho mai pensato a un vero tutorial sul funzionamento di base, ma potrei farlo prendendo in esame alcuni aspetti specifici. il Mini VS pro è nella mia lista dei desideri!

[@davido3109]

Thanks thanks!!!! Namaste Haribol Asewe!!!

[@Bbousk]

hey thank you for this, great inspiration! i have a question: what if i wanted to overlap other sounds with different settings than the first one? what if i wanted to play a melody over the loop but with other envelope values without affecting the previous one for example?

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

I'm afraid it's not possible. The four oscillators sources behave as a one Envelopes and effects are shared, So the settings are global. You need to connect other synths to play a second melody with a different sound.

[@winterblood78]

Come si fa a salvare un suono!? Mi è arrivato ieri, il manuale è molto farraginoso

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Il suono si salva con il pattern. Shift + write (tasto 16) e poi enter (tasto 2) . Si può solo sovrascrivere il pattern corrente, non si può selezionare dove salvare da quello che ho capito.

[@rodrigogallego3148]

Please dont cut the video, we loose track of the explanation

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Sorry I tried to keep only the important parts otherwise it gets to long and boring. If something is not clear you can ask me.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

This isn't possible on the SH-101. 👍🔥

[@lucid484]

Why not? with an SH-101 and a good reverb/delay pedal you can come up with some magnificent textures..

[@DetroitMicroSound]

@@lucid484 Definitely! But not without the outboard gear...Then there are the voice modes not available on the SH-101. 4 note poly, chord, then OSC draw, and chop....Then the noise osc, which does a lot more than the SH-101. Good sequencing...a few effects, including Roland choruses based on the Junos, JX, etc. Personally I much prefer it's pink noise, over the white, but it has both, and deeper controls for making use of the noise. it's noise is very addicting... really sounds great, is super fun, and useful...and that's just the pink noise. 😄

[@user-rk2xj8gr3h]

Tiz a strong synth ever, isn't it?

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

it's surprising how much you can do with just one synth alone!

[@user-rk2xj8gr3h]

@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic Yeah right?
