Simple setup jam w/ Arturia MicroFreak, DrumBrute Impact, OTO Bam, Strymon pedals, H9, PO-33

[@CarlosPerez1992]

You know, I've listened to your jams for a few years now. I've listened to great, fully fleshed jams with 6 or 7 devices at the time. I've listened to you jamming with none other than Kellii Scott, drummer of one of my all time favourite bands. And I've loved it all. But something keeps me coming back to this little jam. The melody, the little progression on the Microbrute, the delicate bass line on the PO, the absolutely monstrous beat you programmed on the Drumbrute. I love everything about this jam, and I will keep on coming for more for years to come. Thanks, Jay, for taking the decision that day of scrapping the bigger jam and do this instead.

[@snegs11]

I do have to confirm that this jam is pure fire. Not often do I find myself un knowingly raving out wickedly in the kitchen doin’ some sign language shit with the arms and digits. Thank you for taking me to somewhere else briefly ☺️

[@alexandrerodier9338]

I didn't remember that i'd ever comment this track !? 😳 I've received this Monster combo few days ago ! 🥳...the Sound of future ! It will change m'y life ... really !!! PEACE 🙏 !! Thx for perfect inspiration !👍👍👍👍

[@timijandrpicminatti7506]

You know a jam is good when it's stuck in your mind for 2 days straight and in the evening you come back and listen... ❤️

[@Nico-np9bh]

Whaa!! Nice jam! A sweet feeling between Boards of Canada, Nathan Fake and Com Truise....

[@kevinverkindt]

Well done. I like it. Especially with the narratives in the video :)

[@freeform144]

Awesome.

[@Intraverse909]

Agree, the narratives are helpful, just got my db impact, fun to see your set up in action

[@falazarte]

Thank you thank you so much for this videos. I also love your written comments on what you do. For newbies like me it is priceless. Keep on technoing!

[@vincentdanopoulos]

I keep coming back to this

[@tiowmaxim4282]

To be honest, youtube was running in the background, for a minute it was ok, but then was like whoa this is freakin great. Skillfully performed, really nice, melancholic vibes and setup.

[@davidbanner9001]

I keep coming back to this bloody track. Not a bad thing obviously. Thanks again Jay.

[@Djpuzzle]

A lovely hardware jam. I dig the melancholic melody and the distorted kick drum. Very cyber punk to my ears / post apocalyptic ambient music. Seems as if this one just sort of channeled other worldy influences and let the gear speak for them in the form of melodies and rhythms.

[@sudave87]

So awesome! Getting autoplayed for the third time and I love it every time again. This sounds just like a complete version of some sounds that I would create - totally my sound.

[@breitbanddesign]

what a great jam! very cool!

[@2manywires]

Listened to this a few times. Thrilled I just landed back here while browsing... love it. Eerie, foot tapping, addictive👌

[@stephenaskew4346]

Take a bow. Great to see real joy and freedom in a jam.

[@Jegkedermigmega]

Lovely composition :) Really like how harsh the drums are in the mix, such a bold move that really goes well with the melancholic lead. Keep it up! :)

[@juanfranciscobertona4058]

Love the early aphex twin sound of the HH. Great jam!

[@nikolaaskaas]

What an incredible melodic progression. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this!

[@BluffMunkey]

Great jam. This jam would definitely encourage me to buy a DBI and a MF if I hadn't already done so in the last two weeks. And I agree, the DBI is fantastic and fun to use.

[@iffus29]

I'm so happy I grabbed the MicroFreak now. I love that track. Good job mate, keep goin!

[@scottchadfield223]

I loved this!!! Love the commentory too.

[@Wall_Candy]

Fantastic job!

[@FixxedMiXX]

This tune gets stuck in my head every time I hear it.

[@CubeRepublic]

This is beautiful, really enjoyed, thanks for sharing.

[@alanwomack9948]

Anyone who says the drumbrute doesn’t sound good should come watch your video

[@strangersun7721]

To be fair, a lot of those complaints were against the original Drumbrute, which had a rough launch. Early batches were plagued with issues. I thought it was mostly a lot of BS and got sounds that I LOVED out of my original Drumbrute. I parted with it for a Roland TR8S and nearly instantly regretted the decision. Picked up an Impact on a whim to check it out and ended up dumping the TR8S for it. Sure it's more limited in its sounds, but it has more character and the workflow is more fun IMO.

[@alanwomack9948]

Stranger Sun I honestly never had a problem with my drumbrute and I had one of the first ones. I got the deepest most hard hitting ghetto house/footwork/techno sounds out of it, once I got the BD and the hi hats and Rim all dialed in, and I haven’t found another drum machine like it, my Vermona comes close, and I got the behringer 808 clone which sounds great for what it is, but my drumbrute is probably my favorite. How do you compare the original with the impact?

[@BrandonWalowitz]

@UCLID not even close

[@BrandonWalowitz]

@UCLID Solid edit.

[@urmumsbaps]

@UCLID sounds like you either have shitty speakers or delicate fragile ears, nothing wrong with the hats at all.

[@alexandrerodier9338]

Baaaaam !!! Huge Sound ! Perfects chords ! Hey .,you're now able to be signed by border Community !!! Really ! This Sound IS Amazing ! Nathan Fake+Ricardo Tobar ! Soôôo ...arturia ! Im waiting 4this combo . BRAVO !!

[@davidbanner9001]

Real nice to see a guy who knows how t get the best from limited equipment. Great track, kinda old skool Aphex Twin.

[@timijandrpicminatti7506]

Wow, very captivating. One of my favorite live performances to date. Has a kind of a Vector Lovers-ish vibe to it. And the MicroFreak really shines here. Loved the combination of the progression, sound and drums. Thank you for sharing.

[@Renzsu]

God I haven't listened to Vector lovers in at least 10 years now.. thanks for reminding me of them :)

[@timijandrpicminatti7506]

@@Renzsu Glad to... I revisited the albums last week and it was such a trip to the lovely past

[@eddieslab]

Man it's been 3 days that i keep coming back to this video, it is so catchy

[@electriceyeslide5959]

I like it... it’s hopeful music. The world needs more of it.

[@Pheonix0114]

Keep coming back to this one ❤‍🔥

[@PaulBoos]

Vert nice jam.... It's like a gentle euphoric dance beat.

[@lesstalkmoredisco9445]

Dude. This song is just so beautiful. I can by now sing along the complete melody even though you’re completely f*cking with us in how the sequence lands around the 4/4 bar.

[@lesstalkmoredisco9445]

@Jay Hosking F* you man, I keep revisiting this song. Just moves me deeply, truly. Beautiful work 👏 I sort of hate you for it because I just wish I made it. But I love it man

[@Alchemeleon]

I just got a DrumBrute Impact and was seeing what other people have done with pedals and uh, yeah damn this is really good

[@sea-saw2654]

That surely is “working in the box” ... 👍 great jam...

[@Mikbeat]

Nice jam 😌👌

[@JTMS]

This was great man! Job well done on a simple but expressive little jam.

[@johnchongsing7745]

Beautiful and full of impact. Outstanding tone

[@conradfreeman]

Great jam!! And I loved the comments during the song!

[@komamuramitsuaki1560]

Your sound is so great. very impressive. thanks from Japan.

[@ufffd]

wow triple whammy - great track, great video, great information

[@i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

6:22 - Dat feel when a live jam turns out just perfect.

[@MrVisionator]

Lovely jam theme!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for the presentation of the components, it helps me to understand these recently discovered instruments 🙏😊

[@joeltullemans7199]

Great video, great jam, love the text and the style of video. Well done sir. Liked and subscribed.

[@Hostipal]

This is a beautiful little jam. Less is more sometimes. Came across this while researching the Microfreak. Just purchased the MF and subscribed to your channel for the many great jams you have

[@Jegkedermigmega]

LOL I ended up getting a Microfreak as well this Black Friday. How have you found the purchase? I'm so positive about the vast amount of posibilities this little thing offers.

[@Andronty]

detto -- bought the MF after watching this.

[@Hostipal]

@@Jegkedermigmega Still getting my head around its capabilities. The mod matrix is great and the cycling envelope but still feel like I'm only scratching the surface. Comes through a little sharply at times but still a great little device. How are you liking yours?

[@RenaudDumont]

Still one of my favorites!

[@LindzHoward]

Killer mix dude, very inspiring.

[@ovalesobliques]

Really love your melodies ! I'm pretty close to buy a DBI, and now I think the next one will be a microfreak 😁

[@shurawi172]

Came to hear how gritty the Drumbrute impact can sound but stayed for the great jam, nice job man!

[@alexsoti3997]

really nice video and perfect narration ^^

[@ResAffolterSoundproductions]

very great melodic and lush chilli jam bro!

[@simon12332]

I am convinced that you could make a toilet flushing and electric toothbrush sound like a swirling ethereal heaven.

I’ll try to sample it sometime

[@mollymilesweb]

that was dope and dreamy

[@wm4620]

This is a great jam

Thanks, Tim!

Hell yea. I like the narrative as much as the song.

[@elfinfini]

I heard your little jam with the Octotrack on the Bobeat channel and came here to heard more...and i'm not disapointed. I'm in now

[@ycnakajsph]

Instant subscribe ! Great jam !

[@animamundi9652]

Cool jam man

[@VerucaPumpkin]

I just bought the micro freak - this was slick. I am looking for more spacey-gothy sounding stuff to be inspired by. This is the closest I've found so far. I'm a noob but this was rad. I'm prob going to go down a rabbit hole on the other things you have hooked up here.

[@Nemesi]

Great jam! So nice to listen to.

[@randomthoughtsoftheday5397]

Sounds sick bro keep it up!

[@Zsklar]

Really nice job. Couldn't agree any more about the Micro Freak. Absolute beast and a steal at it's price point. I haven't given Drumbrute a chance yet. Perhaps because I have a loaded MPC X and Maschine mk3 handling all my drums. Love the fx pedals. The one thing missing on the Micro Freak are fx, so running them through pedals makes it sound dreamy!

[@AndyVonal]

That was well nice! Trippy and full-on at the same time. Freak sounded great and the Impact sounded much better on this video that I remember from Synthfest when I played on one and thought it was horrible! I need to take another look, I guess... Thanks for the video.

[@nicolasrouiller3885]

beautiful melody...thanks

[@BudsatWork]

I enjoyed that very much. i also have the microfreak and love him! Thank you :)

[@jonathanfarber]

Enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing jay. Just picked up a microfreak and this video has cleared some fog away from those early usage days. 👍

SO good,- The Hoskiniana is strong in this one,-

[@VictorMellini]

This is the best hardware jam on youtube to me !

[@modgrip805]

You have to set the POs up for sync. Hold the function button and press bpm to cycle the options 👍Ricky Tines has a good video. Love your jams.

[@flobuilds]

Absolutely awesome jam i am thinking on buying the microfreak really love this synth

[@stevecautious]

Great jam, the sounds really work together well!

[@ThomasMatthewEvans]

Somehow you’ve got the best sounds out of these machines - reminds me of Aphix Twin a lot 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I would love to hear a studio version of this with it all mixed down to perfection

[@JayHosking]

Yeah, putting together this relatively small setup made me yearn to run the individual outs from the DrumBrute Impact so that I could mix it better, but alas, that's the nature of hardware setups! And thanks so much!

[@d3maccus]

@@JayHosking the separate outs are awesome on DB
