my husband got me an otamatone for my birthday because i wouldn't shut up about them, thank god somebody out here has advice on how to play it. i haven't learned how to play an instrument since piano like ten years ago. also i am obsessed with otamatone covers so you bet i'm subscribing
Tip: If you are looking to get your first one, go with the Deluxe. That small one is so hard to play and is frustrating becuase of the narrow thing whatever you call it.
Dude... Your voice is soooo good! I mean, you talk in a way that is so healthy and great for singing!! I take voice lessons (for years now) and i still have to adjust my way of speaking a lot! Maybe you are just a natural, but maybe you also do some things on purpose. Either way! It's impressive to me. Will check out your songs. 😊 And thanks for the tips!! I wanna buy an Otamatone. Preferably a deluxe... But.. they are so expensive! 🙉
HYPE!!!! I hope this was somewhat, maybe, kinda, sorta, useful for you. I know this might seem pretty obvious, but I thought it would be worth sharing around :)
I wouldn’t call that cheating, it’s an old trick to help learning on any fretless neck, I used it on violin and double bass. Once you get to certain level you get that into your muscle memory anyway. You still need to place your fingers perfectly, so not really like frets on a guitar. I know a real cheating trick😁, have you tried playing with autotune?😜
5:13 I don't know if somebody has commented it yet , but... Instead of cutting more than one pieces of adhesive tape, how about cutting a single long one, fixing it along the neck beside the touch stripe and writing marks and even notes with a marker? You could even keep that long strip, scan it or take it to a print shop to get make adhesives with gloss finish to allow more ease sliding in the touchstrip.
I was planning on doing this anyway but once you said stickers I stopped the video to get some cute little puffy heart stickers that matched the colors of my Otomatone. Now it's perfect!
Would be easier to just use one single lone strip of tape, and then mark with a marker on the tape where the notes are. You can even write out the note next to the line if you want
so ive been currently looking into the otamatone and my fiancé got me one for my birthday this year ive been told i can "sing" but i doubt it so im learning this to prove to myself that i am at least in someway or form musically inclined
Okay my otamatone is different because when I’m on mid some of my notes are like in the middle instead of them being at the top like yours or near the bottom when they are supposed to be like in the middle
i want one. i have only ever played clarinet and piano in my whole life. i sucked at clarinet. it was lack of effort tho. but i really really want oneeee
It would mean the world to me if you would pre-save my new EP 'Sun & Rain, Love & Shame' Love you all! Thank you so much! (Also, One Guy 60 more voices is on the way within the next week! I'll put the links in this comment!) distrokid.com/hyperfollow/rowanskye/sun--rain-love--shame-ep
Loved the vid and have a question, I just got a otamatone and whenever I squeeze the head, it make a loud plastic “swish” sound. Is that how they all sound?
Thanks for the advice i REALLY want an otamatone for my birthday (it’s in about a month) so I’m learning how to play them , also question: how long (or if you have to charge it) until the otamatone is full battery for a deluxe one?
You know, I think I have perfect pitch? I have no musical knowledge so I don't know notes or anything, but it's really easy for me to sing songs after hearing them like once or twice. I BS'd my way through chorus in high school by just listening to the songs and learning them that way bc learning to read sheet music was just. Impossible for me.
Video starts at 2:40, but honestly don't bother because it's an unstructured, rambling mess. The entire thing can be condensed to the following sentence: "Mark the side of the otamatone with tape, as a beginner might on a violin, to create anchor points for notes you've found with either a tuner or by pitch matching." Enjoy the 8 minutes you've just saved.
Wish I'd scrolled down to the comments before watching the video! (I don't like to say these kinds of things about people but this guy seems to have his head a bit too far up his behind for my liking...)
