Creative Sample Editing in Logic: Turning a Bug Zapper into a Snare
I think this is a very interesting concept. Hearing these two side by side i was struck at how possibly incorrectly I've pervieved their tones.. Rollins i thought would have been bigger richer. Coltrane "smaller". All those loud partials seem to make the sound almost more square in a way. Waveform may be an interesting comparison as well. Immasuming this is just spectral info and not wave shape. I may be wrong. Either way, it seems that our lexicon when it comes to tone needs a dose of reality, or science so that we understand what exactly it is we are hearing.
Good insight! I should revisit this methodology
Loved the original video, thanks for the update!
Glad you liked it!
Nice work! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Redonkulous,,,,,You'll notice more of a difference wearing 2 different watches...
Haha
so helpful!
Duuuuuuude! This is great! I didn’t think you’d take me seriously 😂😂😂😂 thanks for the updated video!
It's good there's finally a competitor to the Aerophone and a pity it falls so far short. My must haves are bite-sensor and buttons instead of Akai pads and that left one choice: Roland. The one thing where falling short is a plus is it looks like it would fit in airline carry-on. I would love a version of the AE-30 that fitted carry-on even if had to be packed diagonally.
This is a very well done and thought out review.
How can they expect the musician to play this with different lag times between certain note combinations. That is absurd. Just save your money and get a properly designed Roland AE-20 from Patchman Music. The sounds are way better, there are hundreds of great sounds, and it is a far more professional instrument for not a whole lot more money.
You need to do an updated video of all this with the new msstudio
You're right! I will do that
@@julianbrezon Thanks for responding. Although I want to apologize cause my "you need to..." comment may have come across as a demanding way-of-being. But I actually was quite excited when I came across this video! It is an amazing video, dude! Which is why I subbed to this channel. In fact, if you have any new ideas, you may want to consider doing the videos of that idea.
Golden video
Thank you my friend
can you add rythm to the chords? thank you
If you write out a rhythm and then put chords over the notes, yes
@@julianbrezonthank you. could you give me more detail? I don't understand very well.
I'm think to buy this, is it worth it to buy? Compare to Yamaha YDS-150?
I would probably go with a different model because of the key issues I mentioned in the video. This is a copy of the Roland Aero phone
Nice, great video Julian!
Thanks Ray!

Crazy it's been a year since you posted this. So many good gems in here. And I'm still here trying to figure out blues.
Very thorough review. Thanks !
Excellent video. I'm new to Mac AND MuseScore so the learning curve is quite steep. Your video really helped as that's the type of music I write out for Contra Dance & English Country Dance. The program I used in the past on PCs ... for forever, is no longer supported so I've been looking for an app/program to replace it. Your fluency here is very encouraging.
wonderful tune
Thanks man!!

This is huge, thank you
price?
$649 USD on the only retailer I've found
@@julianbrezon similar price point to roland ae-go then
Every single noise you made with this sounded SHIT

is that a vape?

Don't like the sound of the keys at all, distracts from the music.
That is less of an issue with headphones or when plugged in but they are pretty loud
@@julianbrezon Oh I could see that with headphones being better. Without them it reminds me of walking through a newsroom with all the reporters typing away .
Great review! Looks like a nice design, but what happened with those side keys?! Man I wish these windsynth makers would just give us a damn VA synth instead of lousy samples! Love the inclusion of the wireless audio, that’s a fairly unique feature (though I would also make more use of wireless MIDI than wireless audio). Also love that you don’t seem to need a neckstrap. Some nice design choices, apparently hurt by cheap implementation. Subscribed!
That sounds nothing like a real instrument, sterov sampling VSTs sound 10x more realistic. This is nowhere close to a real instrument in terms of playability or realism.
Agreed. I like to use it with softsynths
I agree with you - but as a windsynth player, sounding like a “real instrument” is not all that interesting to me. I’m not sure I think “sounding like a real instrument” is the right way to judge a windsynth. Most keyboard-based synths sound nothing like a piano - and that’s fine, because they’re a synth, not a piano! 😁
@@bodhibeats8257 my noire piano i doubted seriously till I was able to match several recorded CFX grands sounding 99% similar to those with the editing options they give you. I matched it 100% to Ryuichi Sakamotos CFX grand, literally every small sound, detail, even noise floor is identical I've never been more impressed by a vst. The only things that's slightly different is the sound of the damper obviously as they all sound a little different, but seriously if I played the recording perfectly, and you do an Å B comparison, you COULD NOT tell the difference. The point of sounding like the real instrument is how beautiful it sounds and the art of music and fine sound it produces. I can't find an instrument enjoyable if it doesn't sound like the real thing, especially if you need to record. VSTs specifically from performance samples, are extremely close to a natural sounding Orchestra and it's insane. If you add your own reverb it can sound 1 to 1, the hardest thing to replicate are solo instruments, but the Guo Cello is a fantastic example of how good articulations can be.
@@JohnnyADi Agreed all around. If you want to reproduce acoustic sounds with your windsynth, have at it! A lot of joy to be hard there, and of course it can be done well. I like the SWAM physically modeled instruments - but there are good sampled-based ones as well. I was simply saying that *for me personally*, unnatural and novel sounds are more interesting. And, I was saying that synthesized sounds are themselves worthwhile - an instrument need not sound like a “real” instrument in order to be good or useful. I think a filtered saw wave is about the most beautiful sound on the planet - and there’s nothing real about it. 🤷♂️
@@JohnnyADi BTW, I also use Noire as my primary piano. It’s great. But it’s not a keyboard-based synth as I referred to. It’s a sampled piano library that can be used with a MIDI controller. If you buy a hardware synthesizer, most will not be capable of sounding anything like a real piano. And that is fine - the point of them is not to sound like a piano. I’m saying the same thing is true here - the point of windsynth is *not* to sound like a saxophone or flute. They’re synthesizers, that’s why they sound like synthesizers. I think it would be more fair to compare a windsynth against other sytnths, instead of acoustic instruments. (This particular one doesn’t seem to hold up very well against other synths, either. 😁)
Agreed!
I wish they would stop these stupid "emulated" sounds, and just put in a synth engine.
That's my biggest issue with this style of sampler.
@@julianbrezon It's been Akai's biggest problem. The EWI 5000S COULD have been a great device.....except it has a fixed number of samples you can use. I think the best EWI you can get is an Aerophone 20 or 30. It has an actual synth engine and can play great samples. I use one all the time to cover synth, string or brass patches in the band I play in.
@@ericdano do you have any issues with the C-Eb pinky lack of rollers?
@@julianbrezon Nope
💯 Give me just about any simple digital VA synth over lousy acoustic sample-based synthesis.
Great. Thanks..Clear, Quick and Easy. Appreciated.
When I try this on PC, the switching voices and toggling rhythmic slash notation doesn't quite work... When I toggle rhythmic notation it gets mixed in with the slashes and is very hard to read. How can I get it to look more like regular note-heads/cues just like you did? It's hard to explain here but hopefully you can help :)
Try making a new blank file and following the steps again. It sounds like you may have had something in voice 3 by mistake
@@julianbrezon I ended up getting it to work in the score and found out the issue was mainly happening in the drum part. I just deleted it and tried again which fixed it. Thanks again!
Definitely a big difference between alto and tenor. The AT was my favorite for alto. I wonder how different the AT2035 would be. Hmmm
The 2035 has a flatter low end and more of a presence boost around 12khz. Probably sounds better. I do have a 3035 I could test out
is not working
Which step are you having trouble with? This should work on version 3 or 4
@@julianbrezon Nevermind, I fix it, the reason why it was not working it was because I didn't enable the 3 voice
This was great, jazz-nerdy fun. Thanks!
Agree. I liked the AT most on alto. Thanks for the comparison. Considering it now!
I have the same Buescher horn circa 1970....has a brighter sound bc of my syos mpc...I swear by it..
