The Perfect Drum Machine (For Me)

[@krazywabbit]

It’s a wonderful thing when we find something that fits our workflow!

[@FreeBeat]

Definitely! The moment when I was reading the Razz's manual and I realized it was the exact piece of gear I was looking for was awesome!

[@thomnewton9024]

I had a chance to play one of these at Machina Bristonica recently. It was definitely my favourite of the 3 they had there. Really powerful little box for the size

[@FreeBeat]

Yeah it's quite insane what it can do!

[@HIFI1965]

Yo Free Beat! Well done. 1010 will listen to you for pitch modulation.

[@jeandoyon7532]

Hope so ! 🤞

[@FreeBeat]

I really hope so! I didn't mention it in the video, but being able to set a key and scale and have pitch quantized to that would also be fantastic for melodic patches. Random LFO set to pitch, pitch quantized to the scale, and then all of a sudden a drum roll becomes a random arp!

[@jeandoyon7532]

@@FreeBeat Wow, that would be insane ! 🤯 I never ever even thought of this as a possibility. Velocity modulated scale quantization … this is crazy cool. If 1010 add this feature + vel mod on pitch and bend to the Razzmatazz, I will get one for sure ! 🤩

[@GuidoGautsch]

​@@FreeBeat I assume you've seen this already but pitch modulation was added in a firmware update shortly after you made this video!

Dammit… Now I want one. Those sounds you’ve got on. There are amazing!

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks! Just wait til I actually wrap my head around the synth engine haha.

[@blindianajones]

First time to your channel. Im liking what you shared here. I just sold my acoustic drums. I have a syntakt and beatstep pro. I like the sounds and dont mind the interfaces on both devices, but I want to play the syntakt like a drum module or find another device, maybe like this one, so I can use it as a drum module. So you would trust the razz do the job for a gig? I get the cost issue, but what about a eurorack case using the 4ms pad trigger module with some pads then into whatever sound moudles in the case? Gear aside, in a playing test, 1010 vs modular, what do you think of feel and then having to work with the gear while playing?

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks! You should be able to assign up to 4 modulation destinations to velocity on the Syntakt, although I haven't had my hands on one for a while so I might be remembering that wrong. I'd totally trust the Razzmatazz for a gig, while it is plastic, it feels solid. I briefly looked into a bunch of other solutions, however, I wanted to keep the rig as small and easy to set up and take down as possible. Thanks for watching!

[@mastaboog749]

Woah this thing sounds awesome, I've been considering getting one of those Roland pads for drumming but didn't realize you could hook up modules like this!

[@dfxmonkeyhead]

This is the one video I found useful about the Razz. Trying to figure out how to use it with my Bop Pad... Thanks for posting!

[@FreeBeat]

Glad to help, thanks for watching!

[@TrickmanTerry]

Glad you found the drum module for you! Razmataz looks like it will fit nicely in your setup. I'm starting to "gas" over the Tangerine. I'll have to watch more on it as it gets closer to release.

[@FreeBeat]

I'll be curious as to what you think of the Tangerine when you inevitably get one :D

[@IJHDMT1010]

This so rad!! Thanks for sharing your discovery

[@FreeBeat]

Glad you liked it! Since making this video I've actually taken the Razz out of my live rig (in favor of less gear to travel with and setup), but it's still the main sample source that I use. I've also been using it with my electronic drum kit, which has been SO much fun. Thanks for watching :)

[@GuidoGautsch]

This is super fun! And now youve got me interested in mapping velocity to various modulation sources on the Deluge. I got a drumpad after watching your Delly+Drum pad vid and while it's great, i think.thia will make it even better

[@zloboslav_]

oh man I wish I become like half as good at drums as you are, I'm impressed every time :)

[@FreeBeat]

Haha thank you!

[@Bruceanddenise]

Lots of cool! Not just the hardware, live music FTW!

[@JoeJohnston-taskboy]

I am a huge 1010music fan and of this form-factor. Yes, all the units are similar, but that makes learning each much easier. All come with quality effects. I love the Lemondrop. Looking forward to the Tangerine. Glad you found a unit speaks to you!

[@mauriciomandara5946]

Want to see you drumming in a near future with a Black Box and and sampling your other gear ! Thanks for sharing

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

After purchasing the LemonDrop, I have become more interested in their other products. Even though it is small and plastic, it has a very high quality feel to it. I have spent hours with it, and love how intuitive it is to work with. I also like their dedication, to improving the firmware, with updates. Will have to give this Razzmatazz, a closer look

[@FreeBeat]

Definitely! I'm impressed at how solid it feels. I had zero interest in the other Nanoboxes, but now I'm slowly becoming more and more interested lol.

[@ukbloke28]

the Lemondrop is excellent too. I picked mine up partly to learn granular, and it does a fantastic job of breaking down what could be quite a difficult form of synthesis into logical sections. I like how the parameters are all there to hand in each patch, easy to experiment with. I just pulled things apart and changed parameters until I understood everything.

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

@@ukbloke28 after getting the basics down, it’s time to start experimenting with the powerful modulation capabilities of these tiny synth boxes. I can see why the way 1010 handles modulation, would be great for the Razzamataz drum machine too.

[@cvzzimo]

Got one too. Unfortunately their product care is not the fastest…. month without a fw-update… and so many post on the wishlist in their forum. nothing is happening. 😢

[@rexcellencemagee6729]

I’ve been playing with the 1010music stuff as well! First you don’t need an internal battery a 30 dollar external usb brick works fine and has enough to run a good speaker like the Bose or JBL. I got the Black Box because I wanted the portable sequencer power, I don’t need the razzmatazz mainly because the Black Box is a Sampler as well and I have a ton of samples of anything I want. But I am playing with the Lemondrop also and I probably will get the orange one as well. (Its name escapes me at the moment) I don’t need another wave synth or granular synth, but damn, they’re cool portable. I’m considering the blue box as well, but again I don’t need another mixer and portability is awesome but the truth is I never go anywhere! My system is getting so big mini and micro is all I’ve got room for now! I totally dig the way you are using the razzmatazz as a module, I hadn’t thought of that, but then again I don’t possess your timing skills or knowledge. I’m working on learning some of it, but your experience is hard to come by! Love the video and I agree, for you this was a perfect choice and worth every dime! Peace

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much! How are you liking the Lemondrop?

[@shix13]

I think you nailed with 1010 gear ... there are things about them that make them perfect solutions for certain people. I have the 1010 BlueBox which usually gets luke warm reviews, but it's perfect for me.

[@FreeBeat]

Yeah I think so too! How are you liking your bluebox? I'm actually considering it as a mixer for my live rig, since I hardly have any space left at all at this point haha.

[@ukbloke28]

I'm glad you discovered it. I've had mine for quite a while, and other than some missing functionality like chaining, adding slice markers etc, I love it. It's funny you just posted about velocity, I've been working with it a lot recently on this and my Nord Drum 2 (which handles it even more dynamically). Makes a huge difference. I look forward to your future videos on it. There's tons of stuff to play with. Slicers are interesting, there's more modulatable stuff buried in the menus, layering synthesis over samples, great stuff in the distortion parameters ...

[@robm6009]

For $160 this would be a great buy

[@RobertDryer]

Are you saying you can have a sample, and two other sounds built in, and all congruent and on top of each other?

[@FreeBeat]

Correct!

[@SonicVibe]

i pre ordered the 1010 nano sampler tangerine cause it can edit samples and handle multi sampling so it can clone any synth. i wanted the razz cause it sounds good and the micro sequencer looks cool but not being able to set loop start and end points seems like a huge miss i wonder how the sequencer will be on the tangerine? but if it's ok it will be a sick groovebox and should handle drum samples better then the razzmatazz just because ya can do multi layer drum samples and edit them. the razz still is dope and might still be better for drums both would be a killer combo . i get why you like the velocity modulation for your use case .

[@FreeBeat]

The Tangerine looks very interesting! I'm interested to see what folks say once they start showing up in the wild. I do think it's interesting that the Razzmatazz can't adjust start and end points of samples. It's not really a feature that I need, but I definitely get why it's a turn off for some.

[@SonicVibe]

@@FreeBeat definitely I like the drum sounds on the razz my worry is how do ya add more sounds? unless the sample is chopped perfectly with no editing start end points? but In theory I should be able to take the sound library of the razz to the tangerine maybe 🤔 ya just won’t have the same modulation options and I wonder 💭,how the sequencer’s very between the 2 devices I hear the one on the razz is good besides no chaining of sequences. And I think 🤔 the tangerine 🍊 aka pumpkin 🎃 for Halloween ya have to live play on a keyboard 🎹 but it quantized to the beat. If I have to get both ok but trying to get away with just one lol they pricy .

[@ukbloke28]

@@SonicVibe it's not all samples on the Razz, most of it is synthesised on the box itself. So you wouldn't have much to port over.

[@fortheearstohear7824]

hello good video I don't know your name but were you using a kick pedal while doing that shuffle beat? you're quite a techie guy. I'm assuming you probably play other instruments by the keyboards in the background. I'm an older guy but I have similar background and started when I was pretty young. I'm trying to find something I can lay down drum tracks for live keyboard performance. not sure if this thing is simple enough for me. like I said I'm older, and I don't want to spend a lifetime trying to tech. another piece of electric gear. I use main stage and logic pro. Also I have Roland TD27

[@FreeBeat]

Yes, I had a pedal connected to my SPD-SX. I wouldn't recommend the Razzmatazz for laying down live drum tracks though, I'd probably go for a more conventional drum machine/sample player for that. The Razzmatazz is a lot more about sound design than it is actual sequencing. Thanks for watching!

[@avrilcadabra]

I don't have a drum pad thing, but I'd be keen to see you treat the M8 in a similar way. Either way nice to see this little pink nano again.

[@alex-r-t]

The preset pack from Trash80 is a pretty strong argument for the M8 (or any FM-capable synth) as a drum machine. Did you have a Razzmatazz at some point?

[@FreeBeat]

I actually played around with this with the M8 for a few weeks before pulling the trigger on the Razzmatazz, using your drums a lot of the time actually (which are so great, thank you!). The experience was pretty solid, but I had a few issues with things triggering properly, even after troubleshooting. I might have to do a video on it in the future. Thanks for stopping by, as always :)

[@SmallWorldBigThings]

And I found perfect granular synthesizer - at least for me (and it is Lemondrop). ;)

[@FreeBeat]

[@JakeSweeper]

The nanoboxes are sweet, but yes, 1010 needs to emphasize that they are sound modules and need external controllers to really shine. My Lemondrop sounds neat, but it needs a keyboard to actually be useful. :)

Yeah I agree, I think the Razz REALLY needs a controller for it's potential to be realized. But dang what a powerful box! Thanks for watching :)

Yeah, another drummer that understands and appreciates the importance of velocity modulation in electronic drums and drum machines! I/we are not alone. I am however quite disappointed to hear that the pitch of the drums cannot receive/apply vel. mod., what a bummer/shame. 😢 Let’s up to fix that in the next firmware update 🤞. Until then, I will stick to using Atlas 2.0 (the VST)…. Cheers !

[@FreeBeat]

Woo, not alone! Glad to know you exist lol. Yeah, pitch modulation would be awesome, I'd actually love for all of the macro controls to be modulable, I think bend would be really cool to mess with. But even as is, it's basically untouched for what it can do for drummers at this price point! Thanks for watching :)

[@Newmachinemusic]

[@mikec3412]

I'm curious about the 1010 Tangerine multi-sample features. Could you just multi sample a drum VST or drum module and have the different velocities? Any Tangerine users feel free to chime in, very interested.

[@alitna]

Oooh, that’s some nice sounding drums! I’m curious how you control it if you don’t own one of those digital drum sets? Does it use one midi channel or eight? I’m thinking of how it would work to connect one to a Arturia keystep if that one has velocity? Maybe a beat step would be better? I think it would be very useful to program a pattern and have as really small drum machine with awesome sound.

[@akdm82]

Better than a Roland TR6S? Hmmm. I mention that one because it is the same price and has been on my wish list for a long time.

[@FreeBeat]

Better than the TR6S for me, but probably not for everyone. The Razz is a monster if you pair it with a drum controller, and plan on doing actual drumming (or finger drumming) on it. If not, you might be better off with the 6s!

[@akdm82]

@@FreeBeat I do like the size and the fact that it has 8 tracks. I’m shocked at no internal battery though. Of course, USB battery banks are super cheap now and ubiquitous though.

[@GargeBarge]

I need a drum machine that isn’t too expensive and can do triplets, do you have one to recommend? Thanks!

[@FreeBeat]

Like in a sequencer? Most anything that has microtiming can technically get there, but you'll have to sequence it yourself. The Deluge is the only device I can think of that just has a straight up triplet mode, but I'm probably forgetting a bunch as it's early and I'm very tired haha.

[@alexwestconsulting]

Thx for recognizing the use case here. This is now on my short list. I've got a deluge too but find it too cumbersome to use as a drum brain. The Roland acb stuffs, Volca Drum and 3P are all stuff I use and find them all to have decent dynamics (I mean, the TR-6s isn't just static samples, to be fair), but this is next level. I use Audiolayer on iOS too, but that takes a LOT of setup. This is good to go and fits a drum rig easily.

[@TheTokyoAmducias]

I have the Blackbox and the lemon drop. The razzmatazz looks cool, but no stems/multiple outs and no midi over usb is a dealbreaker for me.

[@FreeBeat]

Yeah definitely not ideal if those are the things you're after haha.

[@GuidoGautsch]

MIDI over USB is now a thing

[@mongarcia01]

Is it possible to directly attach the Donner Starrypad to this? It has a small Midi Out.

[@FreeBeat]

Yes, that should work! Keep in mind you only get 8 voices on the Razzmatazz though, so some of your pads on the Donner will go to waste. However, you can also use the MIDI thru on the Razzmatazz to control something else with the Donner pad as well. It should also be noted that you should be able to map the knobs and faders on the Donner pad to MIDI CC's on the Razzmatazz, and those can be just about anything on there!

[@baconsledge]

[@eubique]

Honestly I think modulating pitch from velocity could sound rather cheesy, specially on samples - unless a really tiny amount. Velocity to the FM amount and mod pitch should be quite interesting, though. Would give some combined pitach and tonal variations.

[@FreeBeat]

Oh yeah I'd only be setting it to TINY amounts haha, just to add a little bit more variance to the playing. Although maxing it out could be very interesting for some quick effect/transition fills. I haven't played with the FM engine as much as the samples yet, I'm excited to dig in there! Thanks for watching :)

[@JohnBassarcticsoundstudios]

The sound coming from the unit is out of Phase., It sounds like if you have a stereo out the ground wire is not hooked up. Which is canceling everything in the center like your kick. Starting around 8:22

[@Emily_M81]

thanks for sharing the smol drum machine! honestly if I wanted to power a bunch of these I'd just get a USB hub and battery pack. I power a Korg SQ-1 and SKULPT like this :) I assume that's what 1010 would be working on, unless they have some sort of cool "dock" for several of these >_>

Some of those velocity things is also possible on the zoom Ar 48 and ar 96.

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

Funny you mention Bad Gear as it wasn't til it appeared on there that I realized truly how tiny it is 😂 As for incorporating synths and drums, aren't there devices and programs that make electric drums a midi controller to work with any synth/sampler? In that case you could program it to control multiple devices in various ways. The Razzmatazz is still an interesting little device, though.

What do you mean by "play-ability"? (a vague term you used that seemed very important to you, yet went unexplained). After all, isn't it triggered either by the tiny screen, or by midi info? What lessons should we all learn from this? I still don't know much about the machine's capabilities, but can already infer many limitations from your presentation. Is $400 really "affordable" for something esoteric and limited like this? Your valid criticisms about lack of power supply, USB functionality and available modulation targets suggest the product still being perfected.

[@jeandoyon7532]

By playability, I think he means expressiveness, like MPE pads can offer.

[@FreeBeat]

I think the 2 playing examples in the video say it all (for me, at least). I'm able to play it, much like a real drum, with my own physical drumming changing the sounds of the drums in real time, making it a very expressive instrument. I'm able to add touch and nuance to each hit. $400 is typically where this channel draws the "budget" line, when it comes to pricing. It's definitely not for everyone, there's a reason I put "for me" in the title. Hope that helps.

My opinion on this product is, you purchase a 450€ software. Because the hardware is so cheap that it is literally negligible. For example: Why does the screen has such a huge frame? I'm pretty sure that a discarded Android phone with a 5€ app such like Koala Sampler would do the job much better.

Your phone can do this with a free app

[@FreeBeat]

Please link me to this app lol

[@ukbloke28]

No it can't. Besides which, how much more does the phone cost?

[@MyNameJeff..]

@@ukbloke28 Yes it can. You are ignorant.

[@rickval9]

Ridiculous price.

[@GuidoGautsch]

Hey, can you see this comment?

[@Dr_Monster]

lol to much money

[@PsychologyAcademia]

Youll never be happy

[@MyNameJeff..]

Yea, that’s a big no for me dog. The color is hideous, the price for what it is, is an absolute joke. I respect that you bought this with your own money though. Too many shills in this neck of the KZbin woods.

You talk too much...I would have preferred to hear a little more sounds.
