Great report! Yeah, this was a blast! I'm glad you could make the trip over, and thankful for Thomann and the arrangers for inviting even myself to this thing. Maybe we get to go next year too, I'll be much more prepared at least. :D
Sam is a legend. The amount of hard work he puts into actually making his crazy inventions is beyond my and I'm pretty sure almost everyone's comprehension .
@@RetroPlus don't be too pricky. I know how my Spanish gets worse when I rarely use it. Just as an example. But you get the hang of it when you stay a bit longer.
@@8BitKeys I'm sorry, David, I have underestimated you :) As the other comments said, take your time, at least we now know that there's more to look forward to.
@@The_Str4nger Even the worst train network is better than having a rubbish public transportation system (if you can call it that at all) in the US. If you don't like the german "Deutsche Bahn", that's understandable, but I would highly recommend no trying the US equivalent. There's a reason why most people take planes or their car (even for long trips) in the States.
@@omsi-fanmark please consider, that from 1992 our railroad system was privatized (and not somehow, it's a private joint-stock company, with the Federal Republic of Germany being its single shareholder) and before that privatisation we had trains on time, it wasn't expensive to take the train (nowadays it's cheaper to take the car, since the monopoly for bus transport has fallen, the plebs are taking the bus, even more cheaper). The Deutsche Bundesbahn was for everyone from rich to poor, we miss it a lot.
I love how this guy has all of these incredibly complicated synths at his disposal, but immediately gravitated towards the toys and melodicas. It’s so charming :)
German here: You speak excellent german. I was instantly surprised and impressed. Sure pronunciation could be better but you speak it very confident. I could understand everything you said.
@@omsi-fanmark The salesman was speaking a German/English mix, so at first I thought I thought I could understand him. Then David started peaking German and I was lost. :D
So happy to see a new video and that Yamaha Reface CS looks AWESOME (not so much for the price, lol - I guess we get used to the vintage key prices). The Reface DX sounds super cool too. Awesome seeing new content here David!! (Love the 8-bit guy vids too, of course) :)
I never expected to see Simon the Magpie in a 8 bit keys video! 🤣 This really is the ultimate collab! Great content, keep it flowing! I don’t mind the upload schedule, it’s good because I watch these videos to take a break from all the memes I watch.
0:37 When the teacher asks the class to divide into groups. But you don't have any friends. 0:39 Then someone shows up and asks you if you want to make a group with him.
I am in my apartment laughing so loud my neighbors are probably wondering if I'm on drugs because I'm so delighted by your interview with Look Mum. This is tops!
Thomann - that‘s where I bought my Roland G800 keyboard more than 20 years ago. It’s just about 40 kilometers from my home. At that time they were a medium sized store. Today they are one of the (or the) biggest (online) stores in Europe.
I saw you on the Doctor Mix channel and was waiting for your video :) The part where you spoke german with the employe made me laught :D I diden´t know you coud speak german so well.
very nice video, it's very good to see something in a simple, friendly style, that i find more relatable that over gimmicky channels (sorry for the broken english, very sleepy now lol )
Those melodicas are really popular in schools where I live in Ecuador. If you think it is interesting hearing one guy mess around with it who already has musical knowledge, imagine what it's like to hear a roaming herd of 20-30 kids wandering the streets after school blowing on those things... I am nearly deaf already. Also, Look Mum No Computer right in the thumbnail! Yes!!!!
Dude, it was your channel that inspired me to pick up a PSR 510 & a PSS 480 (I only spent a total of $30 for both) at the local Goodwill, refurb them back to near mint and use them to add to my instrumental arsinal & record with - all of which has been massive creative fun! Keep up the excellent work and thanks for the many inspiring, awesome videos!
David and Anders make one heck of a team. So glad you two got to hang out. It really looked fun. I loved how David surrounded by high end instruments is like can you show me something more in line with kids. LOL Classic and absolutely mold breaking.
So cool Thomann invited you. That was for sure an exciting event. It also means you have a name in the Internet. My best wishes and I can‘t wait for your next videos.
auf dem 8 Bit Kanal hat er ja eine Zeit lang diese Unboxing Videos gemacht von Fan-Paketen und hatte mal was aus Deutschland bekommen und vorgelesen. Genau so in einem FAQ hat er mal deutsch gesprochen.
War auch ganz baff, dass er auf deutsch spricht, vor allem, mit einem superfreundlichen US-Akzent. Einer meiner Lieblingsyoutuber, mit Abstand für mich der beste YT'ler.
Yes, he's got that American "R", but every German speaker (and those who learned German in school, like me) would understand what he's saying. And no, English isn't my native tongue either 😊
It was wonderful seeing you and Sam having a chat. You're both among my very favorite youtubers and I think Sam makes a good pitch for a new segment, "Will it RetroBrite?"
German Thomann customer and fan of your channel for years. Didn't know you actually payed our small country a visit - it's quite a cool thing to see YOU walking through these holy halls of Thomann. Sadly I'm just an online customer since their store is a bit too much away from where I live. And wtf - you can speak German??? I'm utterly surprised. What a wholesome video!
Cool. Always been happy with the service of Thomann, ordering all of my audio equipment and most of my 19" accessories there. Hope you liked it here in germany! Funny thing hearing you to play Ultima tracks - feels pretty different after meeting Richard Gariott last year. And an unexpected good german you speak, I'm impressed!
This is Awesome! The Space Quest tune you played on the white Yamaha gave me chills. Sound was right on! Thanks foemr sharing your trip and glad you had a fun time!
Thomann is absolutely huge here in Europe, I don't know any musician who hasn't ordered from them before. Well deserved I'd say. Also really fun to see so many familiar faces in this video! Did not expect to see Simon the Magpie there!
@ Given that we're talking about wrong information about synths in a video about synths, your judgement is a little hArsh. Thinking that d represents "delay" and "s" represents "how long a sound sounds" are two common misconceptions about how ADSR works and expecting them to behave like that can only cause intense disappointment. kthxbye
Really cool to see you at thomann. I live in Nuremberg and the first time I went there they didn't have all these large builings and you had to navigate a narrow serpentine to get there. Nothing to give away the awesomeness that lies behind that entrance. When I stepped into the guitar section, I could have sworn, I heard a choir singing.
What a wonderful video! It is so authentic! The viewer really gets to feel what David is going through! Wonderful! (Marius Gudonis). Keep up the brilliant work "8 bit guy"!!!
I'm jealous! but it looks like you had a great time, thanks for sharing! Edit: It would be really great if you could link the RU-vid channels of the people you were working with, please!
That's really cool! If I ever have a day with nothing to do, I might just go check out that Thomann store ... not that I am particularly musical, but damn all this stuff looks cool!
This passion is bringing people together, even from different continents. Forget the short sighted political or religious difficulties. Greetings from the EU, good Sir.
Thomann is the reference in Europe when it comes to what gear should cost. If you buy something at a store, you check the Thomann online price and decide if the extra cost of buying it from the store is worth it for their service and keeping a local actor going.
11:55 interesting tidbit about Kyrie from Mr. Mister. It's not as well known as their smash hit Broken Wings but I prefer it over Wings any day. Had to go and listen where the bells actually are and sure enough, in the "ooh" parts they're right there.
Loved the video. You're such a nice bloke. I could watch a 2 hour video...easily. I wouldn;t get much done in my studio but oh well, we all need a break now and then :)
It would be kind of hard since the Speak and Spell has a bank of stored words although modifiable, unless you did something like this: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VIGPBw-AHkQ.html.
That was a crazy meeting, I would be completely starstruck! I found myself already subscribed to almost half of them, now on to finding the other half :-)
@@8BitKeys Das reicht auch, es sei denn, man ist Banker oder arbeitet bei einem der großen Rechenzentren dort. Für Touristen reicht eigentlich der Blick von oben, da gibt es schönere Ecken. ;-)
You youtubers are too lovely to see. I love to see your fun things and videos as you do. There are many things I have missed. And so much electronics to watch as a music instrument. i have myself a m-audio keystation 49. I get so inspired by what you do. And do a little bit of stuff yes as a little gaming videos. and I build portable speakers. Yes a little different things that you collect or buy at secondhand stores. in my spare time and also try to film it and post it on youtube but have not so many followers so far but I work on it. Continue with the good work 8-bit guy. Daniel says hello from sweden
Man, I love your channel and enjoyed this video so much, you should have seen the smile on my face! That was a real cool idea from Thomann by the way to have you guys all over their place. Thank you and thanks Thomann!
So cool meeting so many youtube musicians i follow like Synthmania, Cuckoo, Dr. mix and Gaz Williams! Love the reface Dx! Plan on maybe getting one for my recording!! Awesome sounds! So much fun!
