    "you can always leave a dislike that's ok too it doesn't hurt my feelings" first time i ever heard anyone on youtube say this, amazing. reverse psychology or not i just smashed that like button

      Wow haha thank you so much! I mean it though, I really don't mind the dislikes. The channel has grown to the point where I have a few haters now that just dislike every video, but if a video is getting an abnormal amount of dislikes, it's great feedback on what I can do better! Thanks for watching :)

    I imagine that if a beginner just bought a volca and sees this video, it will be of tremendous help. I am just watching it enjoying the patient and friendly way you do the explaining. You’d be a very good teacher! I like how the Volca sounds so I imagine that if I had one I would build kits in the Deluge and sample everything.

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks! I'm definitely looking forward to sampling (or at least sequencing) the Volca Drum with the Deluge, seems like a pretty powerful combo.

    Great vid as usual, if I had been able to see this back in 2019 the Edit Step explanation alone would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. I was hoping you'd demo the Motion feature, when you combine that with the Wave Rez, Pitch or Modulation it also goes pretty crazy. This synth is a lot of fun, when you let it do its thing you forget what beat your were trying to make in the first place!
