Heeeeyyyyy thanks so much for the shout out and kind words. While it's kind of lame to say nice things back, I'll have you know 3 of your songs are on my Top of 2019 Spotify playlist! Sorry to miss your show, I'll be flying out of LA the morning of :( Please record and upload if you're up for it

I’m a big fan of the gear-centered channels, but it’s also kind of refreshing to see reviews from an actual working musician. Nothing quite like getting to the heart of the matter when you have limited time and space and you actually have to use this stuff to earn a living.

@gabrieljennings5492 4 года назад

This is my favorite gear review of yours yet. I love the combination of nerding out on hardware, deconstructing your setup, and then the music theory. Great work!

Okay seeing the process of you deciding what scales go into your sequences is really cool. Thank you for sharing!

That piano melody is absolutely beautiful! I could listen for hours

@theazuresea5984 4 года назад

Lately I use the pyramid with digitone. It makes the workflow really quick. If you set up a template so you can easily switch between the four tracks on the digitone, it becomes really intuitive and more like a gigantic glorified looper.

@pawnotdaw4559 4 года назад

Hello. That's exactly how I use the Pyramid. Also, by using the assignable CVs on the Poly 2, I can have a sort of preset set up with the Pyramid saving CCs, lfos, and automation. This turns it into the Poly Preset module. Anyhoo love your vids and happy new year

@jeromeloftonjr 2 года назад

@recycled_city 4 года назад

Good stuff. If you haven’t tried it yet, you can power the Pyramid from the Poly 2 host port and sequence your modular from the USB channel, freeing up the physical midi ports for other gear.

@jyryhalonen4990 4 года назад

By acoustic you mean Lydian Dominant? 1 2 3 #4 5 6 b7. It's a mode of melodic minor and you'd think it has melodic minor?

@X-B369SK 3 года назад

that scale is called Lydian flat seven scale. In Slovak folklore music also called "podhalanska" scale.

@mistervalentin8396 4 года назад

You also got some Polyend gear earlier this year, I think, including the Polyend Seq .. do you have a preference between the two - the Pyramid and Seq? In terms of features, the Pyramid is probably the easy winner, but what about ease of use? Thanks, great video as always.

@MODUS_OP 4 года назад

Hey Benn, Talked to you once for a second at the Black Cherry in Toledo! Anyhow, loving the channel! Could you please break down what you’re doing on the Pyramid to get it to generatively play your custom chords? Thank you.

How cool is that, making a sequencer play a piano and do some sophesticated stuff too!

@ElliottHerrington 4 года назад

Hey man, I love the idea of this device but only have one synth (Nord stage 3) and drum machine (Roland tr8s). As this device records midi data only, surely this would limit me to only one custom patch on my Nord and Tr8s? Because if I change sounds etc on my synth this would effect the other recorded midi data right? I want one but feel like it's too early if it can only sequence one patch at a time.

@iantanner7579 4 года назад

I've been using an Akai MPC60ii, 2000xl and 3x Kenton dual-midi-cv converters over the last 30yrs, - only been working in the laptop for the last 4yrs. Hardware sequencing is much easier IMO. DAWs, and computers, can spit out way too much irrelevant information, - although Logic is pretty reliable...

@Bubelmanen 2 года назад

Undiscovered Colours was the song that made me interesting in music production. I SO wanted to recreate those stutter effect drums, I was like 16 years old I think. Still haven't found a good way yo create such effects... : /

@vegeta897 4 года назад

It's a new look, but the same hardware.

@Lcrymlgy 3 года назад

I didn't understand the jazzy song setup. How did you make it play through those chords randomly? Or did you setup a chord progression and have the melody randomized?

@LeeVaiM 3 года назад

OOF on the NAMM show plug.

@caglimedia 3 года назад

i love that generative song thingie! But I must be a little dumb. I don't get how you get the Pyramid to play random chords and notes. Anyone patient enough to enlighten me? Thanks :)

@davidaltemir1564 3 года назад

He provides some explanation at 12:15. It appears that he is selecting some chords that are all part of the same scale and assigning them to the Squarp Pyramid. What he didn't say and I suspect is the case is that he used the Euclidean sequencer on the Pyramid and cycled between different patterns to create a sequence that is unpredictable ... I'm just guessing. Loopop has a good overview of the Pyramid.

@markorendas1790 4 года назад

I GOT A SEQUENCER LAST YEAR AND IT CAME WITH ABLETON I DID ABOUT 3 SONGS WITH IT..ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. ITS INTERESTING BUT I LIKE REAL INSTRAMENT LIKE GTR BASS OR SYNTH. IF I WANT TO EDIT MY BRAIN OUT ITS FINE. BUT. IVE LEARNED MORE FROM MY NEUTRON OR KORG. THERES SOMETHING MORE EXPLICIT WHEN YOU PROGRAM AND PERFORM EVERYTHING.

@dillipphunbar7924 4 года назад

Good review Benn...those last couple of missing functions are quite important..even my Beatstep Pro does them. So you ...didn't go for the Hermod ?not because of ext gear..but because you're too damn greedy on HP..?
