This "No Coast" synth is special: Majella Implexus Demo

[@MajellaAudio]

For those we have not seen it (yet)! We are running a "give away" until the 15th of november!

[@cl516]

@MajellaAudio I'm in it to win it! 😍

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

Did u find a winner? If so why wasn’t it me? Haha

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

It doesn’t matter, I bought one lol

[@andrewmarshall195]

This sounds flipping amazing...such a warm tone yet at the same time can be really really filthy!! Great demo dude!!!

[@andrewmarshall195]

But your plant is on its side?? Poor plant!!!

[@mylarmelodies]

@andrewmarshall195 she’ll live!!

[@Don_Kikkon]

17:18 "The Electro is strong in this one..." Fantastic demo of an inspiringly well designed synth. Everything seems exquisitely appropriate on this thing, the 'VU's, those LFO sync buttons, a balance of the spacious 'with' the compact, great connectivity and a rich, yet psychotic sound... how? Just when you thought the monosynth was thoroughly done (and I thought my monosynth GAS was too) this thing!! Great work guys and another perfect vid from Mylarmelodies. Also I feel it necessary to add here that the phrase 'horizontal succulent' is most definitely: A. Not a word choice I (or anyone I alive) ever saw coming, and B. Not an utterance one's wife (or significant other) should ever walk in on?

[@mylarmelodies]

Horizontal Succulent EP

[@mylarmelodies]

(and thanks m8, yeah it really is a seriously good grown up synth this, very hard to make sound “bad” as they’ve spent a lot of time refining the controls, leaving what you need and with control ranges that all work well together. The invisible stuff that makes something great, basically.)

[@Seanrayamusic]

I love my implexus. So rich in wave shaping capabilities and the thing is built like an absolute tank!

[@kaitlyn__L]

Others have already said everything else I could constructively add, so let me just say; your "eargasm" noises are always so fun and varied! 😆

[@DMT353]

Finally a good user made demo! Took long enough!

[@PsychicFusionReactor]

What a gorgeous tone. Been a minute since something wow'd me, but this thing is wow. Lots of Gusgus vibes in the sounds in the video.

[@PsychicFusionReactor]

btw, if my wife and I ever have the good fortune to meet you, she may kick you in the shin.

[@luvinfunvan]

Ya this sounds pretty nice.

[@sunilsolanki]

What a fantastic demo of the sonic playground of this synth! And you really came close to Aphex Didgeridoo sounds right around 5:15! Bravo good sir!

[@linuxbender]

This is my main synth in my live setup. I'm thinking about buying a second one. There are situations where I like to have West and East at the same time. It's the right size and playing the instrument live is fun and the parameters are easy/visual to read. The quality is out of this world. You can bring down buildings with the bass.

[@rodrigolaporte274]

This is SO good!!! sound, UI, possibilities

[@johnwellingtonwells7639]

I've been watching these with lust for some time but this has made it worse. What a fantastic machine! Great demo too.

[@MattKeenanMusic]

good lord these sounds are ace mate. I was going to timestamp my favourites but there's a lot. this was a good day to get some really bassy headphones in the post lmao

[@jacco1967]

I’ve had this synth from day one. Underrated.

[@MajellaAudio]

Thanks Jacco !😄

[@Basementkid-music]

same here. its a beast and im so happy i got one🥰🥰

[@AlienPhatAlchemy]

Same love mine 🤘🏻

[@repetitivebeats8635]

Same. While it's not my "most used" synth, it's such a joy to use, and the sound amazes me every time, to the point it always ends up being one of the stand-out sounds in every track it appears in.. and, as others have said, it really is built like a tank! I can't praise this thing enough!

[@electricdawn2258]

Another mylarmelodies synth demo? Sign me up for it! Edit: Ouch! The price tag for a mono synth is... a bit on the high side. It does sound VERY good, though. This is a tool for professional users. Loving it!

[@mylarmelodies]

Yes it’s a small company affair - and to be fair is cheaper than an easel!

[@electricdawn2258]

@@mylarmelodies I agree. And it is rather lovely. This is a tool for serious sound explorers. And you showcased it beautifully!

[@CatFish107]

One way to consider, what "modules" are built in? Like if you were to attempt to build a eurorack case with similar bits, what would that cost? And with similarly large knobs? Could be pretty dear.

[@electricdawn2258]

@@CatFish107 Absolutely. You'd need a case, some hundred bucks, a DPO, a good filter, dual LFO's that can be synch'ed, dual ENV generators, a delay, etc... That's a LOT of money. Modular will always be more expensive, but it is also more versatile.

[@badoedipus2551]

Wow.. you got so many sound out of it that I really love that I’m feeling the price tag might be really worth it to me.

[@Calverhall]

Jesus this thing sounds awesome

[@JohnSmith-is8nq]

Yet another video that gives me new ideas on what to do with my now 25 year old Nord Modular. No other piece of gear has served so well as a GAS release valve.

[@mylarmelodies]

Ace. also got a nord modular not so long ago, bonkers machine!!

[@JohnSmith-is8nq]

@@mylarmelodies yeah I think I saw it in your rig, a Micro, right? I borrowed a Micro before getting my desktop keys one so, so long ago now. That little thing CAN do polyphony if you start using lfo's as oscillators... The aliasing makes a very pleasing noise. Lo-fi, aliasy, early 80's proto-digital vibes are one of the G1's somewhat hidden strengths.

[@thedarkestrainbow]

@@mylarmelodieswould love to see a video on that. It’s such a rare bird and you’d do it justice.

[@kaitlyn__L]

I often have this when I look at modular demos as well, albeit in my case it's just from having two (different-engined) "normal" synths with wide mod-matrix options. I rarely go "oh, damn, I need a new thing now!", instead I go "hmmm, I wonder if I could do that on X or Y". (Even with effects pedals sometimes, like Fairfield's "Roger That", have instead led to new experimentation inspiration.) I suppose that's the key really, you've got to truly love an instrument to find constant inspiration - rather than just chasing the buzz of learning something new all the time.

[@JohnSmith-is8nq]

@@kaitlyn__L Yeah. It really pays to sit and dig deep in a complex instrument. I've been "underusing" my nord for the last while, merely using it as a drum machine, albeit a SICK drum machine, alongside an Elektron Model Samples that I bought for its sequencer, which I'm extremely impressed with. It really is a groovy mf, that little thing.

[@VacancyOfDisco]

What an incredible drone monster!

[@pspiegel85]

Wow! You sold me this, especially since I find complex oscillators difficult to handle in a live situation. BTW have you ever given the E-RM Polygogo a shot? It's got a lot of the capability of a complex Oscillator and is very easy to handle. I use it in live performances all the time. By far my favourite Oscillator for euro

[@sauce_aux]

boy oh boy, that thing sounds guuuud

[@jsieb]

So. Many. Sweet. Spots!

[@rogerzinn8898]

Love what you did with the Haworthia!

[@mylarmelodies]

She likes to dance

[@Orangetronic]

goddamn. also, this is such a well laid out panel 🤩

[@MajellaAudio]

Thank you!! 😇

[@repetitivebeats8635]

It's so tweakable! I'd say the only synth I've used that matches/surpasses it in terms of "playability" is the SH-101.. and we all know how revered that thing is!

[@skywalnut]

I don't usually too excited about FM, but wow! So much sweet spot! (sync'd delay FTW)

[@Probbie]

Wow mate, what an epic beast 😮😊

[@anthonyman8008]

I saw this a long time ago, loved it, but couldn't remember the name. Thank you! On the wishlist❤❤❤

[@repetitivebeats8635]

You won't regret it.. it's tremendous!

[@RJ_Eckie]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen dedicated clock sync division buttons before, and three sets at that! I’m into it

[@repetitivebeats8635]

It's definitely one of this synth's superpowers!

[@fo76]

BadAss Synth, BadAss Music...🤘🤘🤘

[@skywalnut]

Also, that's some next level youtuber decorative plant action.

[@wolfgang5912]

If you’d had to choose between the Implexus or Intellijel Cascadia, which one would it be? Given that they are somewhat close price.

[@MajellaAudio]

I would have to much "BIAS" for this to answer it .. 😬

[@wolfgang5912]

Why?? 🙂 I loved the open and rich sound when playing with the Implexus in a store, it’s the choice dilemma between a simpler feature set, but gorgeous sound, or more bells and whistles with a more conventional sh101ish sound. I tend to favour tone over features.

[@MajellaAudio]

@@wolfgang5912 Hey Wolfgang! I was just making a joke: Since I'm selling the IMPLEXUS it is hard not to cheer for the IMPLEXUS. But since you already tried it in a store, I completely agree with you in terms of the differences between the two machines. The IMPLEXUS is very easy to use and has really a sound of it own! Which store did you try one out?

[@mylarmelodies]

As with all things, both have their strengths, depending on what you feel you gravitate to/need more - Implexus is very refined and much more immediate and more of a closed/dialed-in system, Cascadia is uber open and more flexible but at the expense of immediacy (although experience helps). There’s definitely overlap but both work very differently! It’s a personal thing as to what you respond to more, aesthetically, functionally, sonically.

[@wolfgang5912]

Thanks for that thoughtful reply! I opted for immediacy and flavor of sound:)

[@paulmint1775]

Now that's a techno acid mushroom machine !!

[@mylarmelodies]

🥴

[@cl516]

🙏 the Maestro at work. thank you for this. 🫡

[@BottleMakesMusic]

Nice demo, mate. I can see this being indispensable for sound-design work and the like, not sure it's really in my wheelhouse at the moment TBH, but YMMV. May need some time to let this one marinade in my brain for a bit. Just looked up the list price, and it's a ways outside of my budget. Definitely think this'll give the Novation Peak a run for it's money, though.

[@ioth303]

I really don't get why they put the patch panel on the front. You're telling me, for sth as basic as routing an LFO to the filter, I need to fiddle around the back?

[@MajellaAudio]

To clarify: it was never intended to be used as a "semi" modular synth int that regard. We even did not put the LFO to filter option on the first kickstarter demo. We thought it was so standard, and not inspiring. We even had the idea to create the synth WITHOUT the filter because it is not what this synth is about.

[@lukeskywalker2656]

Love the Implexus ✌❤‍🔥

[@MajellaAudio]

❤

[@timeltdme4355]

sounds like they started to use higher voltages or something?

[@jasonnicholas4336]

That is much more distinctively impressive than I had previously understood it to be. Very much a performance instrument. (Also, can we get a track that’s just samples of your interjections throughout the video? ‘Oooh! Oh, yeah’ ‘wooohooohoohoohoho’!)

[@MajellaAudio]

I would also recommend to check out the review from GEO synths. He made a whole track only with sounds coming from the IMPLEXUS!

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

You are forcing me to buy this must resost

[@repetitivebeats8635]

Resistance is futile

[@Slacquerr]

Are these still in production?

[@MajellaAudio]

Yes!

[@theAwakenedOne007]

So cool.

[@GeorgeLocke]

I must say, dear fellow, it does sound rather good.

[@mylarmelodies]

Indubitably so, George!

[@GeorgeLocke]

@@mylarmelodies right oh, what, what?

[@mylarmelodies]

Quite, quite.

[@GeorgeLocke]

@@mylarmelodies splendid. Now let's brew a cuppa before the bit gets tired.

[@RedMeansRecording]

Huh it really does sound good

[@JohnAlchemy]

Nice review 👊 Is it me or it sounds like a typhon, which i love btw ❤

[@MajellaAudio]

Thank you !! 😄

[@fumarolas]

omg this... sounds! no way to save presets I assume?

[@mylarmelodies]

Really does sound banging. Yep no memories!

[@gubbin909]

Occhhh this sounds very similar to Pendulate!

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

At like 29:00 do u have two synths playing? Or is this thing duo phonic?

[@mylarmelodies]

Duophonic as it has a 1V/oct in for each VCO!

[@mistervalentin8396]

Finally this excellent little synth gets a good demo, and who better than Mr. Mylarmelodies? ❤

[@awesomeduder]

the poor succulent's journey throughout this demo had me cackling. fully upside down at one point!

[@mylarmelodies]

We are the succulent.

[@tomaszjankowski9522]

hi, is it original sound of the synth or is it processed and edited for a sake of the video? thx

[@mylarmelodies]

Just some compression and minor EQ for balance throughout. The delay is built in!

[@GeorgeLocke]

Modulating wavefolder bias is the same as mixing the modulation into the signal. I don't know if this is useful informationbut or if it's already obvious, but it's true, and I'm saying it. "I have nothing to say, and I am saying it" -- John Cage

[@sqwook]

Fuck yes, it sounds a lot like the soundscapes of blawan or kangding rays "Amber Decay" Excellent as always Alex 😘

[@wonkyrobot]

Ace!

[@domgraveson1942]

sounds fab and is built like a 1960's Bentley. Super

[@1vootman]

Sounds like a makenoise DPO!

[@dnch]

sounds great.. but the price..

[@kw7865]

I don't know. What would have really set this apart from lots of eurorack modules that do similar things would have been presets especially since there is lots of predefined routing in it anyway... Missed opportunity imho

[@MajellaAudio]

Would have been a completely different design! Potentiometers ar hardwired in the circuit! But, thanks for the input, maybe in a larger version something to consider!

[@Daphoid]

That first jam hits me in the wallet. Oh boy. I know they're a small outfit, and it's on the list - but that price is a great GAS preventer presently. Maybe next spring after the tax refund.

[@dfmn8650]

For what you get, that price is very fair. Especially when considering how much this would cost to put together in Eurorack.

[@totalSLACK]

02:35 😵‍💫🤙🆗🆒

[@Fjarskiptagervitungl]

Lovely. Also... BeatStep Pro

[@mylarmelodies]

Still a great sequencer

[@CatFish107]

Hehehe, I like how you spend 8 min 20 seconds to gently build up a nasty harsh sound, explaining each step on the way. Plenty of "ooh" and "lovely". Whereas Joey Blush Response would have that sound dialed in within 15 seconds, with a few expletives, grunts, shouts, and "Let's get some drums in here!" I appreciate both approaches very much.

[@CatFish107]

Both my cup of tea. English breakfast vs sweet tea with a side of prescribed stimulants

[@positronalpha]

Man, y u do this to me? Now I need this, which I really don't. I should sell my Minimoog and get four of these...

[@MajellaAudio]

whoops!🤭

[@lukeskywalker2656]

!00% 👍

[@hpfilter1777]

Doesent matter the gear we know your signature sound 😅

[@MarkLoweLowebrau]

Great synth but WAAYYY too expensive. Also, would've liked to have heard how tight the envelope can get. Didn't really hit that.

[@MajellaAudio]

Envelopes are really "snappy" ! I would advise to also watch the review from Geo synths, he made a complete track with only sounds from the IMPLEXUS.

[@repetitivebeats8635]

While it does cost a fair bit of money, it's far from "too expensive" IMO.. the built quality is outstanding, and there's no shortage of other high end mono synths in a similar price bracket

[@repetitivebeats8635]

​@@MajellaAudiocan confirm, the envelopes are very tight! Also, the clock division and looping options give the lfo's and envelopes a ton of flexibility.. not to mention the syncable delay, which sounds amazing

[@ztkspace5885]

.......it were championed by Cactus Jack on't chuffin holidez.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

A SHIT TONNE OF CUTS IN THIS VIDEO. Not Representative of the fluidity of jamming on this synth.....It's still a cool synth tho..

[@mylarmelodies]

Yeah wanted to keep the pace/diversity up (as it’s a long vid!) - See last jam for the best example of that.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

@@mylarmelodies Right, did.
