the perfect synth for that "recorded at a rave on your moto razr" sound

I think this is the first one where I really didn't like the gear! Fun trying though.

I actually used this with an electic violin live looping setup circa 2005. It worked amazingly for what I needed it for

hey that song at 2:20 is SICK, reminds me of Descent, excellent work

I have no idea if the vocoder made it worse but the section between 3:52 and 4:07 sounds incredible.

Nice. I had never heard of this machine, but I am positive there is much worse out there to keep you busy for a whole lot of entertaining episodes. Subscribed. 😘

Well, thanks for saving me the effort. I just hadn't found the time to change my Darkstar into a Vocoda, and now I don't even know where I stored the chip. Thanks to you I'll stop searching for it and keep the Darkstar as it is ;-)

congratulations on your hilarious channel! just binge watched all the videos 🤪 one little improvement: make the funny comments appear a little bit longer so i don’t have to pause. also, make longer videos to really show the badness. in terms of bad gear, also have a look at the krk rokit speaker, model d tuning process and the sound device 302. even though this might be too expensive and it’s a personal hate relationship as the switches are tiny and resistant when you want to change them and in the way when things need to be done quickly. 😂

Thanks for this! I always enjoy your videos, but this one saved me the effort of hunting down and installing a Vocoda chip for my Darkstar. Like you, I think I’ll stick to the original.

I see it has LFOs labelled as LFO's. I have some older Novation gear like that

ich nutze den darkstar xp und den elevata von redsound überwiegend in verbindung mit dem hypnosis von dreadbox - die resultierenden sounds sind für meine bedürfnisse erste sahne obwohl bei beiden noch kein eprom für den vocoder verbaut sind - noch . Danke für den upload und ein schönes osterfest !

I'm really enjoying these videos, I hope you keep them up!

Okay - Please 🙏 Please 🙏 PLEASE 🙏 do one on the Korg MicroSampler (way overpriced and waay under developed) which was so bad, they disowned it in under a year. As far as samplers go, it will shock you.

i was singing "auuuuutoooobaaahn" at 0:49 before realizing he was saying autotune

Yup, that vocoder was definitely junk... Akai Timber Wolf, please.

How about covering the Roland EG-101? Great vids by the way, enjoying your insights 👍

Best intro video yet!

"It actually sounds that way" I ded.

"As is tradition" greetings from Canada!

0:29 Eh-hey, my boys Babish, Davie and Kent Rollins

3:45 Who are the guys dancing in front of beer crates? :)

0:48 AUUUUUTOOOOOOOTUUUUUUUUNE

He did his best with it.

It doesn't skip notes, it puts some jazz on it! 😀

Love the night rider reference! Still haven't crashed!

Sounds like a blown-out speaker.

That's as good as it gets. Thank you

too complicated and no really convincing output. Thanks for travelling those lands and testing for us, it's great to watch your explorations! Cools stuff!

I love the Microkorg.

love that "Kinder auf Elysium" at the end ;-)

Thanks now I don’t feel sad my v2 dark star won’t take the vocoda chip

now THATS bad gear

Ugh. I have an XP2. Shame it cant take the Vocoder chip. Not that I'm sorry. I've still to use the XP2 for anything serious. Still, good video, theeeee yannk yooooo Orrrdeeyopilllzzzzz.

awesome

It sounds dull, like if someone put a blanket in the speakers. Cant put my finger on it but it sucks. Really bad. So... this was sold as a vocoder, but you had to update the hardware in order to use it???

It would be cool if you reviewed a Korg Electribe-S Mk II sampler groovebox.

i liked it but all this hair on my face is driving me crazy I have the darkshart vocoder eprom somewhere in my studio

"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" was *intentionally* bad. This thing, on the other hand...

Nice Intros

At least microkorg offers improvement of speech intelligibility, by panning the bands 👍 Although does anyone do it? 🤔

So if/when I get the dark star, burn the vocoder chip. Check

what's the MIC you are using in thsi video?

I live this episode its so fycking stupid in love

Hey, Herr Pilz :-) Wie sieht es mit dem Yamaha DJX Keyboard aus?^^

Will you ever review the Yamaha SU200??? It’s a horrible to use sampler. I double dog dare you!!!

Are the Vocoda chips actually still available or not? If not, would you sell yours and the overlay?

Okay wow, yeah the xp2 is just fine 🤣

YES! haha love it

mininova vocoder is a bad gear?, Make a video about mininova

Ein Mann und sein Auto kämpfen gegen das Unrecht

O wait how about the dr 202...I don’t think it’s bad it’s just of it’s time

Wow sounds like a 4000 watt car stereo making the trunk rattle.And thank you for telling the truth about Titanic...hi budget B movie.Corny

wow .. thats really bad.. i had the dark star xp2 and it was .. well not terrible but not really any good either.. but this one is terrible :D .. thanks for the videos!

This is actually bad gear!

I think i will buy one... to throw it in a grinder.

Yeah the Vocoda sux

been putting the Rhythm wolf through the mini kp3 vocoder lately for pumpy syncopated chords. The Digitech studio s200 rack module is nice bit of bad gear. I'm converting mine into a desktop FX because that's about the size of the main board inside. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GsoZQ33KMds.html

wheres the glass of water????!!! 😮is this a deepfake? 🤔

Thanks for doing that. never got to test this out with mine but after seeing what you did i feel like I didn't miss much.. i used to have the warp factory which was pretty good, but i opted to stick with the boss SE70 of all things to be my vocoder.. as seen here.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RzMQff0Ngu0.html&t with my son..

good thing I just saw and heard this video.. I agree. Fail..

Seemed a waist of time. I would just keep it as the regular synth.

WOW THIS THING IS HOT GARBAGE

Don't forget to check out the original Darkstar ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-apXLIhpeIWs.html

Wow, this is really bad gear 🤪
