Paulee, that was a fascinating video. I've been following what you do in the Amiga community for years. Appreciate your honesty in sharing a view from your side, hope to watch Arcade Dreams with my family when it's out. Good luck !
I'm 50 and still go on about the Amiga, got my first one in 1990, an A500 with 1MB of Ram. Then sold that and got an A1200 in late 1992 which I kitted out with a Blizzard 030@50hmz and a 32MB Simm. I still have my A1200 to this day and use it. It's been recapped and sill runs great :)
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 Nice! The Blizzard 030 was the king of the 030's back in the day, that card still sells for than what I paid for it back then. I paid $495 AU and could sell it for more than that now. But I never will. Btw - great channel, I've just subbed 😃
Finally somebody showing what this thing is really capable of. I imagine a collaboration with you and Joey of BR would mutate sound waves at the Planck level. Controlling the Drumlogue with a Play just might temper my lust for a Perkons.
Such a cool sounding synth. Beautiful pads especially those saw driven ones. Which V-synth to buy though? They have several different versions from what I understand. Some of them even have a D50 engine onboard. Great overview and demo :).
Hi :) - the original Vsynth keyboard can add the D50 engine with a hard to find PC Card, and that’s the model I demo here. I don’t have the card but I sampled the raw PCMs of the D50 and imported them, to get half way haha. The rack, Vsynth XT has the D50 built in, but loses some controllers obv. Finally, the GT has double the power, and can layer more tones, but cannot add the D50 engine in any way. Of course, with the doubled power, those raw D50 PCMs could be combined with 2VA oscillators and a complete 4osc D50 could be mimicked anyway! Though you’d need to build the patches yourself!
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 Let me just say it one more time for emphasis. Really great job on the demo and overview. Those patches sound fucking awesome. Really great job, again thanks. And informative. Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated. I think I'm sold on the one you got here in the video. They seem to be the most plentiful and cheapest anyway. I also like the idea of getting a genuine Roland Supersaw oscillator. I know a lot of software has kind of reverse engineered this already (And hardware) but that's the the OG and would be cool to have just for that. Without having to buy the JP8000 I mean. Which I guess is another classic so wouldn't be the end of the world having to buy that as well but it's nice that it's offered here as well. Nice complement. Again, thanks and keep up the great work.
i bought one in january, and fm64 wasnt ready yet. this shit with the custom waveforms is fucking insane though, im going to install it tonight~~~ thanks so much! great video, and great outfit
I love the drumlogue have more then one.. use the individual out trs to xlr much more punch. The 32bit samples can be sick… use an analog filter way to cheap for what you get. But an update from KORG would be about time
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 I wish the text print was bigger or a different colour. We need a version with big gold gothic script and diamante for the LEDs!
@@MrJohnFlanagan I haven’t tried individually processing the snare yet, I bet a transient designer could give it less “tish” and more “KUSH”, I hope I’m making sense 😂
Amazing detailed review - run through, thank you And finally someone wearing gloves so we don't have to endure hairy arms.. . Brilliant video the best run down of the Drumlogue to date
You know I didn’t try it, but that example was a real edge case, all that sample munging automation, AND FM64, AND Delay Lab, AND Reverb - it was too much. As you saw in the vid I had no issues otherwise :)
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 thanks, can't wait to get mine. I got hooked when i read about the free LILLIAN user osc at amazona magazine. To me the Drumlogue sounds like a mix of those early Dub Reggae preset drum boxes mixed with lots of dark sci fi added to it. I'm sure i will love it;)
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 got it now and it is so good (also got a Prologue 16) . Have you tried the GLOUGLOU FL9? it is fantastic what it does to the Drumlogue and everything else....
You make some of the best videos on gear, somebody with taste, ideas and knowledge. Love the M video (great input on GS, too!) and funny enough i bought a Drumlogue yesterday and am waiting for it to arrive. So this video is just in time and really appreciated! thanks!
🙋 Thank you for this! So inspiring to see you take the Drumlogue way out there... past the breaking point, even. 🎉 I'm with you, the magic is in that user-accessible synth engine.
I know, wild! I thought it was important to show though - if you’re going to use the user algo’s live, you need to pre-plan a little and not just turn everything on/throw caution to the wind 😅
Pretty poor show. When they launched it the sync was laughable I returned mine. They updated it for better sync and that probably undermined stability under high DSP load. It's silly to ADC all the analogue voices.
$cooped-up a copy yesterday! I Likes!! Well done! I used an amiga back in the day for lame video graphics--not that the Amiga was lame--just the state of videographics in the early 90s😁. Great to see that these great machines can still churn out compelling media!
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 played the XT until late last night on its own. Will need to combine it with my Fantom X DBeam to make your slogan work :-). But what an original sound synthesis, and ease of use. Really weird Roland did not pursue that line of innovation so much afterwards.
I now (only vaguely, in several cases) remember fiddling with a number of these softwares shown in this video way back in the day. Thanks for exercising my crusty old neurons to shake loose these memories! Unfortunately, none of my fumbling efforts led to anything, because I completely lack any and all musical talent. :P My one impression might be a couple Soundtracker sample discs I made sampling from a friend's brother's rather expensive and fancy MIDI synth module from back in the early '90s. I mailed copies of the instruments to some guy, but I don't know if they ever reached any wider distribution. Alas, my Amiga days ended back in '97, when my crusty old A500 was 10 years old and very behind the times, and I basically never looked back since. Not because I didn't want to - it all just hurt too much, after Commodore went bankrupt and all of that. :) (Yes, having been a huge fanboy of a dead system is painful...) I'm a PC guy now, but not because I like these soulless, awful machines. It is what it is...
HEy! John Flattery recommended me to you as I'm autistic as well studying at Leeds Beckett. I'm having to go out for a year or two due to feeling overwhelmed with my workload but what you've said on here is pretty much spot on. Please keep making music and talking about your story mate. It's incredibly good to see some bloody representation!!
Love my XT, but i should take it out of the box ;-) Back then i wanted to buy the GT because of its expanded power, but when i played it at Messe back then i found that it had not the exactly the sound of my XT.Anyone compared the two soundwise? Opinions?
I was on the fence about getting a V-Synth, but this has done it for me. Hard to pick a favourite patch, but Outlands if I had to. Thanks so much for this
Yes I see what you mean but to me I hear a certain Hollowness also..? I don't know its just not quite whole.. but yeah sounds good still maybe I´m imagining things but it doesn't sound or have the depth like my Juno 6 or old Jupiter 4 I used to own.. But still great synth.
Just did mine in his JP8 livery - big improvement! As others have said, this is Roland's best synth since the JD-800, and easily fills in for most of their analog legends. I just wish they'd do the JX-8P with ACB modeling!
I have the aluminium end cheeks on mine, JP8 style. Lots of people now coming round to the fact that (along with the V Synth) this is the best synth Roland have released in the past 30 years
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 Could not agree more. I owned a Juno 6/60, JP4/6 and 8 over the years, and the modelling on the 8 is perfect... as is the Juno 60. JP-4 a bit less so, but close enough for Jazz
Totally agree! I've bought and sold many Roland synths over the past 30 years but I have kept my V-Synth and System 8. They're certainly the most interesting synths Roland have made in that time. Well, I kept a D-50 as well -- you sorta have to, eh? :)
