Is this a repackaged nam ?

Just got one on ebay for less than 50.00 cause it needed to always be plugged in to work but turns out it just needed a new battery, its in like new condition with all original parts.

It’s true

Michael I have been a long time follower of your content and it is always inspiring. I have a question 🤔 I have become a collector of house plants and am curious to the names of the plants on your window sill. Thank you Sir 🙏

Thanks for this video series and all of your great “GAS therapy” videos! I was wondering, have you considered buying a cajon drum? They don’t take up much room, they allow for a huge flexibility of sound expression, and…can also serve as a chair!

Nice ! What keyboard is it?

The only midi controller i have (i dont count the Roland Octapad, thats part of my drum kit) is the Arturia Beatstep. It's really nice. Sometimes I think about getting a keyboard, but idk if I really need one at all.

100% true. Earlier I thought that drum pads are perfect, but now I realized how important velocity is. My drum loops sound much better with different velocity for the snares, and a keyboard can control that velocity much better. When using Koala without controller (or Pocket Operator), upload the same drums with different velocities, and you're good to go.

Which android phone are you using atm? It works ok with koala? tell me about performance please

How are you making the variation for the snare and hi hat? Sample start time? Pitch? Volume? All three?

I just got mine.

👏👏👏

Keyboard is a good basic option especially for beginners but the velocity sensitivity is usually not uniform across the keybed in small inexpensive key controllers.

I wish it was in Android. How can we get 100 free samples? Tracklib requires a paid membership.

I am using OSMO ACTION OG 😊

I’m struggling to find what I need I just wanna connect my sp 303 to my iPhone 12 I have a lightning cable but it was cheap . I wanna sample into koala or the other way around . I have RCA plug ins for audio but I can’t seem to be able to get the pads to control

Sir I want to use my fgdp 50 as midi host and want to control Rolands octapad SPD 20 PRO, DO I need a USB (B TYPE)TO 5 PIN DIN MIDI HOST?PL GUIDE ME.

Koala sampler is amazing

The MC5 sample got me. Oh hell yes

I play bass guitar and I use a Line 6 multi-effects unit to record loops which i then use to make all sorts of rhythmic effects. The issue is that it only stores 1 loop at a time and has no permanent memory. This cable with Koala Sampler (which i also bought off your recommendation) might just be my solution!

Great video. I needed this therapy because I was close to upgrading my OG to the 4 for the 10 bit color but I think I'll wait.

You better have a good reason.

cool app. Any thoughts on adding a record into option instead of just using sample files? you could load it up in the Effects slot. or create another simple app that allows for recording a note or sound into it, pitch detection and spread it across the keyboard for simple playing. Could be very useful for vocal or live looping situations as an app inside of loopy pro.

Gracias bro estos vídeos son necesarios y aportan un gran valor. Ojalá Koala pueda esponsorear tu gran trabajo!

Tascam makes an audio interface that connects to the headphone jack on any smart phone. It’s not $5, but it’s pretty cheap. It allows you to switch between line, instrument and mic signals. It can even provide phantom power, but you need 2 AA batteries to use that feature. Every other feature can be used with no batteries.

This needs to be updated!

If only Apple would have used their tech forward thinking to improve the UI experience of GarageBand. Every time I try to use it, I find it so clunky. For most music gear, once you get past anticipating how it might work for you, the real value is in how it creates a unique workflow. As a guitarist, I’ve learned that different types of guitars cause me to play different styles more. For e-gear like samplers, grooveboxes, or even iPad apps, the workflow and speed of doing makes or breaks it. That’s the only thing we should be evaluating when watching influencer gear videos. Does that device have a workflow I would gel with and is it worth the cash to find out. I love me some iPad apps, but I also love a well placed knob, fader or button too.

I'm downloading it now......great video as usual. Thanks

This guy is hilarious! 😂

This video didn’t hold up when you made it and even less so in 2024.

Good guide for people with very little money, but I spend most of my days in front of a traditional computer, so I absolutely do not want one to be involved in my music creation. Plus, the enormous headache of logging into and keeping all this software up to date is a hard no for me. I bought my OP-1F and withing 24hrs I was sitting under a tree in my garden having the best time with it.

It's not free but there is a max for live device called "Opal" by Fors (The guy who desinged the elektron sequencer) Sounds are very close to the syntakt. I sold my syntakt cause i liked the plugin more than the elektron gear.

This video clearly demonstrates the significant role the OP-1 played in the development of modern music. GarageBand becomes much clearer and more interesting through the lens of the OP-1. I just bought this device, and it's an amazing piece of equipment that inspires creativity and is pleasant to hold, much like an old Game Boy, whose games can, of course, be emulated on a computer.

MPC Keys 37 Changed my life in Musicproduction . I switched from Koala

Ok, i know you always the best :) Now you making me doubt if i should grab it or not...... i won a 100 euro gift card to i will be paying like 80 euro's foir the 30 model..... BUT, i also just bought a SP404 Mk2... so i dont really need this 😂 But have a hard time getting started with the sp 404 because i need to get the right sounds etc so it takes me a while to make something and was hoping this finger drummer would speed it up since i can make easy drums :)

Sitting on countless unfinished loops, sure. Biggest reason: Making the loop for me is the fun creative stage where I make a vibe, while meticulously arranging out, crafting and mixing a whole track takes much longer and is not AS fun. And that's ok. Process > finished "product". Frankly I don't need to bring this whole business economics attitude of "output" and "efficiency" to my creative hobby, tyvm. ngl, this whole thing seems to philosophically fly in the face of much of Michael's earlier content. At the very least it's kinda lame. Hope they paid well.

Awesome video! Koala sampler is the best audio thing I have ever spent my money on. Now I only lack that one thing - the musical knowledge. Will you ever make a video or a course on how to actually make music and not just use gear?

The reason why they didn’t put a battery in it is Price point do you think you’re speaking to fools?

Are you complaining about the durability? 😂

Hi there, does it output video when you choose a video file? Many DAW support video. I've been looking for a video sampler for a long time. Also, will PC support for video be coming?

What camera is it?

Some Ppl who really love the formfactor should search for "little gptracker", thats a tracker for retro handhelds like Miyoo Mini or Anbernic RG35xx series. You can by the handhelds for 50$ and little gptracker is open source.

this video is so high quality and helpful and cuts fat from all the useless vst stuff , thanks a lot :)

Hahaha my days I use both FM and Dexed and also own the DX7, it's my oldest synth. I so agree on this video you are simply a Star !

Very inspiring... as always ! You change the way i see music gear. All those expensive, big groove box look great. But you can do same with soooo much less Thanks, i'll give a shot to a little set up like this for composing during travel :)

Now that AKAI has an MPC DAW available for both Mac and PC, you could now actually have MPC Key 37 for free.

Excellent. More people talking about gear on RUclips should be as critical as you were. I like reviews starting with what you can't do with a product.

Where can I find this guitar? It doesn’t seem to be on Thomann anymore.

3:53 It's crazy how ppl un-ironically do say this, like there is some magical way analog sounds, and it's always from people who been tweaking knobs on a bypassed filter for 5 minutes before they realized it.

I turned my Steam Deck into a M8 for $40 with a Teensy 4.1 and Dirtywave's free M8 Headless firmware.
