I'm intrigued. It has the characteristics of a Eurorack module. An element of control, but with constantly evolving and surprising results. Moving on now to watch the video entitled 'Gecho _ Fidget Spinners = Fun'.
This thing is just incredible!...I have to play my electric violin through one. Also...I'm inspired to pick up another melodica. I had one about 50 years ago, around the time I played accordian. Wait a second...I also played an electric accordian..................
I think its for using it outside to hear your suroundings in a new way. Its let you experience the sounds of nature or where else you are, in a pretty intense way. Just how you said. It's to meditate or chill out. Sorry for my language. I hope its understandable.
That's actually the main use case I had in mind. While it has potential elsewhere (even in the studio, after those few missing things will be added, like sync modes or proper midi implementation) in the further development I want to focus more on the meditative experience - think evolving soundscapes, less control from the user, more randomly generated elements and variations.
Michael Smiley .....Hey Michael . I ordered it from Gechologic many months ago and now it has finally arrived. In fact, I have the polyponic whale as well. You can try to find Gecho on Reverb.com or ebay....? Anyway ... good luck 🎼
It does look cool. I can sure see it next to a pocket operator in action. Maybe you should tryout a jam session with these small synths. That would be a fun video to see.
Nice little alien synth module. It’s almost like a mini micro pitsburg Modulator. Or a monotron x20. I’ll add this to my monotribe and volca collection for sure. That wind keyboard is a lot of fun as I only played one of in a jam last week. So easy. But through this thing you could busk till the sun goes down. 👍
I still play mine. The volca sample is easy the best volca to go with keys and bass. as for the all in one monotribe. Nothing analogue thats all in one apart from the leloop exists. Everything else is dependent on other boxes. This thing looks attractive though and a cute little wooden case. I’m Tempted. 👍
Wow now that looks very innovative design. Nice to see you share some unusual gear on the channel. Thou not sure it would be freindly for my fingers :-) Thanks Bo 👊👊
Hey Bo I have been watching a lot of your videos lately. Due to the fact that I really want to get into making music and synths and etc. I’m looking for some place to start with and what I’d need to jumpstart my venture and to get everything out of it. My friends have been helping, but I find myself lost in the depth of everything that encompasses this whole experience. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks for the great videos as well!
Something like an Electribe 2, Circuit or Digitakt could be a lot of fun. Self-contained and some what easy to use. You can make ”entire songs” on them w/o anything else. I have a video coming next week that addresses this kind of question
Wow. Where did this come from? Taking sounds from this and sampling them in my Digitakt seems like the perfect thing to do... ordering once it’s back in stock. Thanks for bringing us something different Bo :-)
I love what this does but will hold off until I see what sync options get added down the line. I see on the site that the dev has started some work on this. Although I imagine that will probably take up the line input.
I love mine... nothing sounds like the Gecho... it's the audio meditation device of your most advanced dreams. The future comes in a wooden box. Those mics are super sensitive. The granular is super fun. Everyone should own one.
exoterica and exotica and talk of metaphysics meeting physics, etc aside, Firmware updates are definitely in order; and mark 2 might feature a small ribbon controller. Put it through an Empress pedal??
Wow... Dreamy... Also i have to thank you soooo much! That distro kid vid has given me a massive head start! So helpfull! I would be no where with out you!
This is a pure soundtrack machine! So powerful in such a small box... well who needs medical treatment anyway, time to spend my money on this instead haha
I actually used it to make a soundtrack for the Kickstarter ad (with no additional editing or added effects whatsoever). But the timing / syncing it was quite hard to get right :)
It's tiny, yet so large in terms of possibilities. It makes a great place to explore. One thing that i've always admired about double digit oscillators it that they're so huge they can make the most beautiful sounds. You just don't want to anger them :)
I’ll have to watch this a few times, I got all distracted by the melodica, I have the alto (red) version, I’ve been wanting to do something cool with it. 🙂
For me, being a total newbie to these gadgets, let's say I buy this thing and I want to record as I go, how do I do that? How do I, for example, record what I make on the go onto my computer? Or, are there ways where I can record my works onto, for example, an SD-card?
Looks cool, but not as cool as that melodica! 🙌🏻 .. one part is missing? I have the same melodica, and I actually picked it up yesterday! 😊 Nice vid Bo!
DrBuffaloBalls Open it up on the backside. There should be some philips screws. It should be easy enough to spot the problem. It probably needs a thorough cleaning from all the built up gunk inside. Some isoprophyl alcohol shuld do the trick, be careful though the parts could be more delicate because of wear on them, good luck
cool little box ... Kind of like they took a boutique form factor ... and re-boutiqued it ... yeah I'm copyrighting that term :) Nice for portability but I would probably like something a little larger format and higher audio quality for the studio.
I have been watching this company for a while, and love the design and complexity/simplicity of this looper/sampler/synth. Although of course it seems to be even more than even all those descriptions, and totally like an invitation to explore sound. I am going to save up and order one for my birthday, to keep my Polyphonic Whale company. : ) Thanks, Bo, for this fantastic demo.
Probably not ideal for precise controls... but at least ears can connect well! :) Working on an "expansion board" with larger controls (like a docking station for the smaller board).
Mr BoBeats how come you haven't gotten into the Mono Station yet with all it's CV capabilities? I'm amazed you haven't with you being a soldier for the Circuit.
Bought mine and just after found out it was out of production... Big fan of Kraftwerk I always had some desire to one day own one. The VP-03 also has this string section (string ensemble) with blippity bloppity vco sounds. Now there is also a Waldorf Streichfett that does these sounds even better (think Solina Eminent). Probably my next purchase. Just for fun a great song imho, done with the REAL KRAFTWERK VOCODER!!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z6iEHUHoSwA.html The story behind the vocoder and more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GebhGs_LUIU.html
Huge noise floor on those built in mics. Sounds like it has a built in limiter/volume control, which is increasing the noise floor on quiet source material. Ergo, you should record into it louder, or better yet just bypass the mics and use the line input. Cool device, I like the minimalist box.
Imagine doing a recorded ambient set the way amulets or hainbach does but with this giving out an echo of the literally ambient sounds of you interacting with the other instruments
