I just realized that you actually can use it as an fx pedal for external inputs. I found a hidden feature that was not mentioned in the included guide, so this is in fact possible
@@ld1775 Yeah. I don't know if it's intentionally hidden. I think they're just not completely finished with their manual yet. There's a lot of functionality they share on their discord server that I haven't been able to find in the user manual. So in time, hopefully it will be more available.
Of course "insert chinese junk product here" is 1/2 the money blah blah blah, i dont get it with haters. They just cant keep their mouths shut . The truth is none of these people hating on this american made product have ever created anything out of an idea, if they had they would know that your main goal is to NOT BE THE SAME AS EVERYINE ELSE. Why do you think yeenage engineering ,hologram, or chase bliss are so popular? Its not always going to be a grand slam, but how many more sequencers do we need? This was never ever marketed as a groove box, it has always been marketed as a tape machine, or a lofi box. Most of the haters couldnt even operate a "groove box" anyway.
My setup is mostly eurorack with an OXI-One (which is basically a module in itself) for master clock and sequencing with an OP-Z for beats. Even my mixer and interface are in the rack. As it stands, I just want a versatile sampler to craft sounds and add to the mix. For what it does, this looks great due to its sound control and small footprint. There are modular samplers out there, but they are pretty limited in comparison. The Rossum Assimil80r is probably the most advanced, but it's hard to get a hold of and it's 1000 bucks. I'll watch this to see how it develops before I buy, though.
No internal clock? Can't edit volume after sampling? No sequencer? While it looks nice, i don't see this being worth 600 bucks with all its shortcommings tbh..
@@flundlipI’d be willing to take the chance of them not doing anything with the firmware for $199 as the over all price. Then I’d take that other $400 and put it towards a real sampler. Because at that point, it’s just a fun little toy-ish kinda thing. Sure you can sample into it and get some quick and interesting results, but it just needs some clock and undo features for me to even consider it an option. Because used mk2 SP404’s are now around $400 and that seems like a better deal. That or a Digitakt.
@@thedeepblueskys but sp 404 is a lot different. This is basically a guitar looper pedal thing, and its great at exactly that one thing. Recording pitching around, recording on top of that and so on. Results can be super dope in no time.
I have both. The nunomo is super cool and not fun at all to use whatsoever compared to the chompi. They have nothing to do with each other. Interface matters a lot, I absolutely love the chompi interface. For quick creativity I love it as much as any sampler I’ve ever used (I have used almost all of them).
Chompi is missing stuff the electronic musician of today, really needs. "Nunomo [Qun 2?] is super cool, and not fun at all to use whatsoever compared to the Chompi"???? I love my quirky Qun Mk2. It's worth every single penny, and really a lot more. You can't sample stuff, then sequence the samples into melodies, or beats, in Chompi. You can in Qun Mk2. You've used almost every sampler? I've been making electronic music for like 35 yrs. I've owned a bunch of samplers over the years, but I would never try to claim I have used almost every sampler ever built. Making such a claim is laughable, at the current state, where there have now been hundreds of different samplers on the market, and a large handful of never marketed gear built by expert engineers. @@cougarman8
@@cougarman8 what are other good options for sampling stuff pitching around and recording on top of it again etc? Because i want something like this really badly.
Not sure if youve been told yet, but you can totally adjust the Delay and Reverb independent of eachother. Just gotta hold the chompi button as you turn the magic wand.
WOOOOOOOW….. Your eyes……. That’s SO COOL EDIT: I’m completely mesmerized by the confusing but very cool feeling the two different colors are giving It’s like having 2 different faces with the same face or two different moods wtffff I even can’t describe it But that’s really really cool You should be used to have people staring at you completely fascinated that should be so weird for you…. If I had this feature I will use it SO MUCH at my advantage… 😆👍👍 Beautiful gift.
No sequencer, a sampler that can't be used without an external microphone anyway due to switch noise, software glitches, there isn't even a metronome. This thing seems terrible honestly. Quirky and cute, but terrible
Exactly my thoughts. A pricey weird little box. Faceplate for kids but marketed for the adults. And, mostly, a company that just sells faceplates. Hoping their customers will update the firmware for them. Sad.
The looper is awesome on this, this thing is made for a very specific purpose o think, which is recording changing pitch recording again reversing adding FX etc. Its basically a loop creating workstation and i love the workflow this has. Using this on its own is just a silly idea. This is basically a guitar pedal.
@@Pabloesc571 at that price point, and for the form factor, it’s a bit steep priced for most of us. And the fact that they count on others to develop firmware for them is sad too. It does sounds fun. But it’s a standalone tool, weirdly marketed. And with a team that only knows how to design faceplates. It’s a pricey toy. One TE could have made.
@@Studio_4to1 nobody said they count on people making software for them lmao. Actually them making it open source is very admirable. You are trying to hate it with every inch of your body just because you cant afford it. Yeah its pricey, but its audio equipment and that tends to cost a lot.

Tell the secret please! ❤
@@FfortheT You have to press shift + volume encoder while in play mode. Then when you're in sample mode you can apply effects to the in signal
@@flundlip This thing is already low on functionality, why hide basic functions as "easter eggs"? It seems dumb to me

I agree and it does what IT does amazingly actually. Chase bliss is a great comparison
The cope is heavy on this one.
Seems like more of a tool rather then a fully fledged groovebox would like one for my set up as it sounds great

@@Pabloesc571 I see your point! Just wish it was more affordable for me. Same goes for the OP-1.
Very precise video going over the instrument offerings. Thanks
Midnight version preordered. I'm excited to see what they implement in the future firmware updates!
Get a Nunomo Qun mk2. It's about 1/3 the money, and does SO MUCH MORE....
I do want one of those. They look incredible, but were sold out when I checked
I love mine. Very powerful, and is continuously getting updated firmware. @@flundlip

I'm thinking that your monstera needs some fertilizer if you're gonna keep it in water.
Yeah, we were gonna plant it, but never got around to it. So we've ended up giving away most of the propagated pieces

Great video thanks mate. Are you actually using the iPad as an input directly or is it using the microphone?
Thank you! Yeah I'm using an 3.5mm cable from the iPad into the Chompi input

That looks great for producers without computers/ digital audio workstations.
This is a great "guitar pedal" for creating dope loops. But replacement for daw? Hellll no bro
can i use a chompi whit a pc or what i need exactly to use it? can i record a song in my pc whit the chompi?
Your eye forgot to change colors @ 0:26 -so envious of you for getting the chompi from KS. Sub'd!!
No firmware update as of Feb 24.
Looks like a kids toy, I think they got that idea way off.

Thanks!😀
And overpriced. I’m so tired of positive reviews of people who gets free gear. Moder scam
Yeah it's kinda overpriced. I paid full price for it tho, so assuming you're not referring to me
I ordered the Yamaha Seqtrak $399
is it a live looper for DJs?
No, obviously
Love how yoy edit out the clickety clack of the keys
Well I don't exactly edit it out, but I'm not recording the room sound. I'm just recording the line out of the device.
