The Malevolent was TERRIBLE, the build was like soup and it made the Korg mini look like a tank! Found it very limited tonally and it lasted just 2 weeks with me

Ian you missed something important. They did in fact answer your question. The limitation will be addressed in a future product. This is exactly why the JD-08 doesn’t do class compliant USB audio. Why did they give themselves more work maintaining a proprietary audio driver when they could have just made it class compliant? Same reason. They are reserving must-haves for a future product offering that unites their hardware with patch management and audio mixing and the lot. Owners will have no choice but to buy into that because they left us no way around it that isn’t terribly inconvenient.

Stepic is fantastic, alongside Harmony Bloom it is my go to for sequencing, especially Stepic’s 8 modulation lanes means you can create infinitely evolving sequences

now I know why film scores by Hans Zimmer for example will catch me so - thank you for your examples and the very helpful explanations

in a way you transformed you grand mother into a minimoog minus noise and some missing waveforms on this little device but a seond lfo

Sus 2/4

thank you for the vid. Version 2 has balanced outputs as I have read

Ian, what an excellent video. This is the first youtube tutorial I've seen for 'ambient music composition' that actually shows some composition and not someone twiddling software knobs! This was so useful and I'll be applying these lessons in my projects.

Nice Ian! The drums sound really cool. Great track that fits the video perfectly!

Hi Ian this is awesome but I have a question do you have some sort of method you use to pick what instruments to use in you music.

hi, is the headphone output stereo?

The finished product makes it sound like recording it is a cinch, Ian. I can just imagine it is anything but.

Thanks you, very inspiring ❤🙏

Great track! Would you be willing to share your process in terms of synths used etc?

Another masterpiece!

Thanks for this, Ian.. masterful piece of music as always! I love the way you have balanced everything in the mix and nothing gets lost or drowned out by the more upfront elements of the track..even the faintest twinkle can be heard clearly! A real joy to listen..thanks again. 😌👍

Deep and mysterious! I love the use of flutes and wind synths you used for this!! The sparse percussion is a very nice touch, glad you didn't interrupt with a cliche' bombastic explosion. (Probably something I would have had a hard time doing... 🤣😉) An interesting contrast to the bright colorful video images. This makes me feel that even in daylight there are many unanswered mysteries lurking in the jungle during broad daylight. 10/10!!

the jungle! this is wild

crackin', great atmosphere :) lovely ambient :)

Really enjoyed your video. So much fun to have with chords like the ones you demonstrated. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏

EXCELLENT...5stars wonderful soundtrack and video. The drums really add a nice touch to the music, are you playing those on keys or are they loops? Great video images of these beautiful creatures..what they're doing to the Amazon for $$$$$ is criminal. Really enjoyed this one Ian.

Welcome to Ian`s Ambient Jungle!

Thank you, so glad you found it useful 👍

Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

BITCHIN'!😈... LUVED the visuals as well -ESPECIALLY the 'Space 1999' ship!👽

The Model D is *the* synthesizer-that thing uses discrete topology and hand-wiring. The prices are never going to be low for a synth manufactured like that, but it’s a classic. I’m happy with my Subsequent 37 and Minitaur, so it does not appeal to me. Comparing a Behringer Model D with its janky-ass build quality to a hand-wired synth with discrete circuits is ridiculous. It’s two different markets. It’s the beauty of capitalism-if you want your janky-ass Chinese-made B Model D, go for it. If you want to tell yourself that janky-ass synth is “the same thing as a $5K synth with hand-wiring,” go for it. Whatever. Who friggin’ cares? Conversely, if you want to drop the $5K, do it. The handwringing over this is ridiculous. If you lived behind the old iron curtain, you’d get the people’s synth, you’d like it or else. There…you got me to watch and comment.

Can you may be sometime breakdown some vidna obmana track? From river of appearance album, for example

Thanks

Sounds fantastic, Ian! I enjoyed listening!! Great visuals, too! Greetings from Elly 💥💥💥

Excellent! Very nicely done.

Got it about 4 months ago but just "digging in" now. This is an astoundingly well thought out and executed tool! Thanks for a great video!!

Great video. Digitakt has a feature called micro timing that lets you shift notes back or forward in time in micro amounts. Does Stepic have this feature? If not can it be implemented in a future update. Thanks.

Wonderful work, as always! I love the moodiness and the sounds you chose. Every element works together well. Thanks for sharing this!!

Wow Ian, you kicked butt on this one! Everything sounds fantastic! The video is awesome as well and the music fits it perfectly!

LOVE IT!!! You have really mastered this genre, every one of your songs are simply wonderful Great video as well. Keep em coming buddy...btw, how long does a song like this take to compose and mix? I like how you restrain yourself from doing a 10 minute version, and these are a perfect length. Love the ending as well.

Excellent. My favourite part is the female voice and the choir 😇.

great journey Ian great track great tones :)

Your work just keeps on getting more betterer!

👨‍🚀👨‍🚀👨‍🚀

Fantastic Ian , love the tones and textures here.

Best tutorial I have seen, and I've seen a lot -- thank you.

Great tutorial! One thing you can do to add saturation is pass the output back into the filter via the external input

Great video! Thanks for sharing your tips. We agree on many points. The lack of faders on the Komplete, unacceptable on such an expensive keyboard. And I already had two Arturias Essentials (Keylab 61 MK3 and Minilab MK3), both with very bad keys. I sold both. Some M-Audio keyboards too, very bad keys, except the Oxygen 61, which is exactly the keyboard I bought after seeing your video LOL. I was about to buy the Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3, but with a pain in my heart, because deep down I knew that such an expensive keyboard wouldn't fully suit me. I already had an Oxygen 61 and I can say, they are the best keys you can find on a studio midi controller, in this price range. And the functionality, once you have set it up, are great as well!

I normally can’t resist an Arturia upgrade. Mainly though I just noodle at the keyboards. I bought 3 and 4 but really haven’t used them much/ I’ll be skipping 5 this go around

I'm an old novice transitioning a neglected hobby into something more fulfilling. I truly appreciate your videos. The educational content is filling in some of the holes in my knowledge. Much appreciated.

Challenge : make a track using all 34 FX effects and tools in a useful way.

idk.. bought the new efx one + the free efx one but didnt upgrade to the new version since it didnt feel worth it for two new plugins
