Once it’s been said, you can’t unhear it. :-) That might also be due to the different speeds of the sequences, drifting apart rhythmically like church bells.

Thank you so much! But the videos aren’t actually that much effort. Since (almost) everything is live, I just need to layer two or three video clips and occasionally add some crossfades. Honestly, I feel like I spent more time threading the tape loop than making the video 😂

Thank you. The old Moog and ist clones are capable of beautiful things!

Thanks! That truly means a lot to me!

Thank you! ’m listening to it again right now. It really has something. :-)

Thanks again!

Your comment warms my heart! ❤️ Peace!

’m always grateful for feedback like this-it shows that music isn’t just something you create for yourself. I can totally relate to your description. It’s all somehow "in between," maybe just like life itself. :-) I always watch those two people in the video slowly disappearing at the bottom of the frame.

@philaesfarewellwhen i watch the video over the music, i look at the people in the bottom too, and for me, the person on a bike riding past is an essential part of what it's trying to say (to me at least) i think the reason i am drawn to that is because the song, as you said, seems to say something about life itself. not for the individual, but for everyone. maybe. i think the most impressive part about this song is how it encourages the listener - or maybe just me - to think more deeply about how it feels, what it says, and i think that's beautiful. creating something that can speak for itself and make other people think independently from your own intent or creation is something to be proud of :)

Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts! The thought that it moves you moves me deeply

Yes, it is more or less a tragic story. I did not know the shaggs but my bandmate send sent me a song of them and I was kind of over/underwhelmed So far away from anything that was musical common sense. I'm a a big fan of free jazz - Ornette Coleman, the late Coltrane, Aylers, Brötzmann!!! - but these were people who had to break away from their musical training. The Shaggs just started (or have been forced) to make their own thing. As you said... "unbelievable"

thank you!

kind words! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad it resonated with you.

That's a compliment I’m happy to accept!

🙏 thank you. And? Did you order in the meantime 😎

Thank you! The Poly D is a killer. Maybe consider a Model D if space is an issue? But I really like that the Poly D has a keyboard-it feels more like a "real" instrument to play and interact with. And that chorus is absolutely amazing!

Thanks man! Seems like I haven’t forgotten everything from my more active days. 😊

Thank you for your nice words!

Glad you like it! It really is!

Thank you, bro!

Kind of, yeah!

I take this as a compliment 🙂

I ordered it round about the 10th of November and was shipped to me end of November

Yes, Behringer does make some excellent gear. And as the can be combined with components from other manufacturers, they create a great setup.

@philaesfarewell Yeah, I have a Crave, and ProVS mini currently, and a Grind on the way. I have been combining them with a Roland SH-4d and a VCV Rack setup on my PC. It has been working great.

Poly D is my "lead machine" I love this thing. And I appreciate having a keyboard attached to it.

Thank you!

More to come 😊

😍

Funny... I'm actually considering getting a Moog now. It does look much cooler than the Behringer! 😄 But to be fair, I think the Spice has some ergonomic advantages over the Moog. For instance, I prefer the Sequencer section on the Spice, especially with its larger knobs. That said, the VCO section is better designed on the Moog, in my opinion. One thing I don’t like about the Moog, though, is the patch bay placement-it’s on the right, which doesn’t feel ideal for a right-handed person like me. It would work much better on the left. And what’s absolutely bonkers are the markers on the division knobs of the Behringer (subVCOs and rhythm) … 11 markers for 16 divisions? Seriously? Leaving it blank would have been a better option! But maybe you are right. Having both is a valid alternative :-)

@philaesfarewell Hi, After a day with the Spice I really prefer the Moog . Both are good but the Filter wins over on the Moog, yes the Moog is fiddly with the sequencer but .....maybe I have had the Subharmonicon long enough to get really good results .?

@@Leerf-driftingpitches Yes, it’s certainly possible that there are differences in sound, feel, or perhaps in areas that aren’t easily measurable. Enjoy your Moog! My first studio Moog is going to be the Labyrinth, as soon as it’s back in stock here.

Wow, that means so much to me-thank you! 😊 I’m so glad the sounds resonate with you and bring you a sense of peace. Comments like this make it all worth it.

I’m glad you enjoyed it

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the awesome comment! 😄 You're absolutely right-finding the sweet spot on the Spice can be a bit tricky, but it’s all part of the fun! Funny enough, I had just cleaned up my desk before this jam-if I’d known you were dropping by, I would’ve left my RAT Distortion pedal out for the vibe! 🐀 At least you can spot it (even if not hear it) in one of my other Spice videos. Enjoy your Spice when it arrives, and happy jamming! 🎛✨

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 February 25 will be here before you know it, and I’m sure you’ll have a blast with it. In the meantime, I’m happy to share the inspiration-stay tuned

Shipping of mine was also foreseen in February and then suddenly I got an email from Music Store telling me it would arrive this week !

@@eldontyrellcorp Thats a Happy merry, Christmas 😀

@ merry Christmas, must have been good this year. Fingers crossed for mine… haven’t given up hope. Have fun with the spice…

Thanks mate!

I'm flattered! Thank you!

Thank you! 😊

Have fun! I am sure, you will!

First there was a compressor. Just needed it for taming the volume differences when using the overdrive from my keyscreamer. Then a Duo Tremolo that interacted with the LFO on the VCF and the Dual Reverb on the MS 70 CDR, but this was very subtle.. may 10 or 12 in the actual mix. Maybe there was a little bit of chorus, too. But I really don't know, if it was active while this take or not.

Thanks... new video is out now ;-)

The idea is not new, but I wasn't aware that the inputs of the spice are "mixers" and adding the CVs instead of replacing them

Feel free to establish the contact 😀

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊 It’s all a one-take live setup, so I’m thrilled it comes across as polished.

still on fire!

I can relate to the debate about Behringer, especially when they clone recently developed synths-this one, in particular, being a replica of a current Moog module. I have no issue when they bring vintage synths back to life; in fact, that’s what I love about the big B. But cloning modern designs does feel different. And I have to admit, I’ve gone against my own principles on this one - but this thing is great!

I don’t see any difference in what they are doing compared to the guitar market where everyone clones strats and telecasters.

Wonderful music by the way!

Would like to hear about your experiences!

@@philaesfarewell I sure will let you know. I will probably drop a video at some point as well.
