I have no experience with music production, but I have to say that you communicated the concepts around CHOMPI briliantly
@@yttrxstein4192 I don't understand how that connects to what I said
@@Enl1gtend lmfao me neither
And to a musician with production experience, this demo was absolute nonsense.
don't worry, musicians are here to help! it's a pretty underwhelming piece of equipment that many workstations already do, but less!
@@FelixTruvere not really, it was just explained for beginners, that didn't make it nonsensical
Honestly this has been one of the coolest product demos I’ve ever seen
def
It's second coolest. I remember this one from a while back: th-cam.com/video/6SCug5kUsBs/w-d-xo.html
@@jonathanking4097 I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you.
As a collector of weird/unique instruments, I cannot express how excited I am for this!
You gotta make a video on it when it comes out!
I too collect weird unique instruments.
@@matthewjutzen424 This is awesome! Two of you, right here?! I collect people that collect weird unique instruments.
It’s 100% getting added to my OP-1 and theremin setup
Same dude! what other wierd stuff do you have? I have a Yamaha Tenorion and a ORBA and soon a chompi, what would you recomend?
where tf am i
i’m not sure how this ended up on my recommended page but i’m sure glad it did. this is incredible
Same
Advertisement and apparently very effective on you ;-)
Same
Same lol

I can see this being an absolutely amazing introduction to making music for children. Literally anything can be a instrument with this, and with how creative they are I doubt they'd ever get bored.
completely agree. I hope its a sturdy as it looks!
I think this costs almost 500 dollars. It’s cool gear but you’re definitely paying for the brand these guys are trying to establish.
Nevermind, apparently it’s 500 for backers, 600 nominally. I love the concept and I’m sure they had a great time engineering this, but holy crap.
it's £500 mate
@@apt_get sounds about right tbh, I can see myself recording entire albums with this thing and very little else
Absolutely amazing product demo; at @2:53 I felt like time slowed down and I was actually transported to an ethereal place, and then the simple phrase “magic” was the perfect cherry on top to capture it all
I want 1hour audio of that music feels heavenly satisfying 😌
i was high af and thats exactly how i felt
Ah yes marketing 🪄
yeah! totally fits the aesthetic! it's like when you buy a distortion pedal with smiley faces on it, you call it "angry baby time". why not call notes "little pickles" instead of A#7? We should call keyboards "Rain storm in a sea of dreams" that way people will know what keyboards are.
@@Ze_bruh same! Lol
I think I’m going to cry this is exactly the type of music I like, it’s so ethereal, and peaceful, and kind of like game music. I want one so badly.
I don't how I got to this video, but I love it, and now I hate being completely ignorant about everything music related!
never too late to start!
Now, I'm not the kind of person to click on an ad, but this funky little instrument caught my eye, and I'm glad it did! This is a super interesting product, and the "Magic~" at 3:08 gave me chills!
I want this for the same reason I wanted a harmonica as a kid, I feel like I could make all this bad ass music easily. In reality it will be harder than expected and I won't put in the time or effort and it will end up in a box somewhere and I will only see it every 10-15 years when I move house.
I think you just saved me 500 bucks plus taxes and shipping.
This. The Bob Ross effect is in play here. This is for sure not a master's instrument, but without some basic musical horsesense all you're going to make with it is noise. Having said that, this looks like a perfect way to gain that horsesense in the first place. It's an entry level synthesizer, looks like something that'd have been right at home in 70s prog rock.
@@matthewlawton9241 first time I've heard that term "Bob Ross effect" I like it. Didn't know I was experiencing it when I watched Bob Ross too, here I was thinking if I ever got around to painting along to his videos I could paint haha.
Yeah this looks like a great product, but in the demos they're going to make it look way easier than it is to make great sound. I also just want it because it's a cool looking device.
At least that's actually a problem with the consumer and not the product for a change :)
I think it will be even easier than what you expect... But it will probably still end up in a closet 😅🚾
he literally made a lofi beat in front of us and i even forgot what the real sound was before he slowed down the music
This looks insane ! Is there going to be a memory bank for samples ? i'd love to be able to collect samples in the wild and keep them for later sessions.
This is I think the best starter midi sampler that I've seen there has been a huge gap for beginner tools for so long this might actually fill
the gap (?).
I have nothing against this tool but it'll likely be too expensive for beginners
@@Oblivioust Yep ☹️ I’ve been wanting to play w sampling+looping for years & because I don’t have much tech experience, I’ve been hoping to find something beginner-friendly, just like Chompi. I’m not wealthy enough to spend $500-600 upfront when I’m not certain I’ll love & stick with the hobby.
It would be so cool if low cost Chompi rentals became a thing in the near future.
Also, I hope the makers of these sorta gadgets learn that there’s an eager market for lower cost versions of this tech, so us broke babes can get funky, too.
it is 600 dollars. i bought a digitakt new for 450 pounds.
@@infinitenoodledoodle At least it's not as bad as the op-1 which can easily reach >$1500 and even $3000 at some places. This is far more affordable for about $300 as a good piece of kit. I'll admit that it doesn't look as featured as the op-1 but the features that are there sound and work well.
Best of luck. $600 is intense.
Wow. The piece you created for the CHOMPI sounds like a great underwater, deep-sea escapade. Beautiful!
We seriously can't thank you ALL enough for your encouragement and support for our lil' CHOMPI instrument!!! We’re sorry that we can't answer all of your questions directly... but here's a couple answers to some of the FAQ's: First off, regarding additional features and functionality... this video really only demonstrates the "tip of the iceberg!" CHOMPI is designed to evolve! Once we fulfill all of our kickstarter pre-orders this Fall, we plan to start releasing Alternate Firmware Options and expanding the ever growing CHOMPI ecosystem. We don't want to give away too many secrets just yet... but it's safe to say that this is only the beginning. // With regards to pricing, the Kickstarter Pre Order Price will be $499USD. We understand that this may be out of reach for some people… but to be completely transparent with you all, if we could offer CHOMPI for a lower price (while still retaining its high quality hardware and ethical business practices) we would. CHOMPI Club is a small boutique company, passionate about offering instruments that can be enjoyed by everyone, assembled with love in the USA, using high quality components. // Hopefully this helps answer a few of your questions… stay tuned ;)
$500 for a sampler like this is standard, The SP404 be costing that much any vintage samplers that have controls like this that you don't have to use midi instruments on to get playback will cost this much. Sounds like Chompi is gonna have a home in my studio!
This is both the most adorable and relaxing instrument ive ever seen
Have you ever considered making this instrument hot-swappable? Since the keys are akin to that of a mechanical keyboard, giving people the ability to customize the feel of their Chompi by replacing switches would make the experience of using this keyboard a lot better. This also opens up the possibility for analog-switch support, which could add a weighted keystroke feature to the Chompi. Imo this would make the Chompi a lot more interesting to use.
This will be my start into anything music and I’m very happy this showed up in my recommended! Thank you for sharing this video :)
Freaking awesome 🤟
Ive been a professional musician for 10+ years, but have always been intimidated by electronic music because of the learning curve. I cannot wait to own Chompi. This looks incredible. Thank you.
just try it out, even with little to no knowledge there are plenty of features that can help you make music without knowing anything at all - maybe you could also just start by using effects for the instrument you can professionally play
As someone who learned synthesizers and would be comfortable on any one in existence, the music theory part is harder.
Electronic music is easy. Tweak until you like how it sounds.
The magic of music is in composition
3:02 this part sounds sooo good! I can listen to it all day
this is the coolest thing ever… i’m am in litteral awe. it looks so soft and pleasant to play and i love the endless knobs and everything 😭
This instrument is so unique!! Can't wait to see what kinds of creative usages people can find for this when it's released to the public
Sure, but everything else is unique too. The simplicity of this thing is in itself great because it breeds creativity. Looks like it could be pretty easy to sketch ideas with, assuming it has supports for stems or something like that.
I honestly don't know why, but for the past 2 weeks, this specific video has been my comfort video. There is just something so warm and welcoming about it, even without the dream-like beat at the end.
Kickstarter Update: The first batch of CHOMPI pre-orders have officially sold out via our Kickstarter campaign. Our team is now working full time to get CHOMPI into production and out into your hands. Once we've fulfilled all of the Kickstarter pre-orders (ETA December 2023) we'll be opening up our website for direct sales. Until then, feel free to join our community on Discord ( discord.gg/WdMvKTRDPQ ). Thank you so much for all of your interest and support in our little CHOMPI instrument ;)
Holy crap. I am LOVING this. At first I was excited for a super cool new music gadget that was pushing the industry closer and closer to giving the OP-1 some competition. That transport knob is nuts. Unlike a lot music making machines where its all about beatmaking this is really up my alley with making unique sounds and ambient tracks. Im really excited for this! And even more excited to hear about more of the features. Only question I have is can you quantize on the CHOMPI?
this is fucking awesome. it's like a PO-33 with a looper instead of a sequencer. i'm curious about the loop time limit, presets, resampling, I/O, and midi capabilities. would be a nice addition to hardware enthusiasts!
Curious enough to check their website? :P
The sp-404 is cheaper and more robust
You knew what us musicians needed and you delivered. Love to see the evolution in progress!
I did not expect a musical instrument to look and sound this cute 🤩
This is INCREDIBLE! I've honestly never seen something like it be so simplified nor look this good! This is amazing!
We need the full version of this demo song, right now.
I love it! Happy to see this in action! For anyone who doesn’t know, this is a product from a nerdy music couple doing what they love. It’s not a corporation intent on selling a billion units with quirky marketing. This is the best kind of kickstarter story! Good job!
I’ve been looking for a product like this for so long! I love how simplistic it is while being fully capable of many musical possibilities. I also love the cute ascetic. As somebody with music knowledge, this product is very inspiring and something to look forward to!
I feel the exact same way
This is genuinely magical. I'm so excited to possibly get my hands on this.
This is exactly the sort of thing I've wanted! A simple sampler and looper with lots of power.
You brought tears to my eyes when you turned the Transport all the way to the left and then turned the Magic Wand all the way to the right.
this looks so fun. I feel like all ages could have a blast with this
You absolutely nailed the marketing. Chompi is an adorable mascot. I love it. Also, this is a super cool piece of tech
It looks like a baby’s toy and that will hinder the sales for sure
This looks like a really fun instrument and I think a lot of people will love it 😊
I’m in love with this product. I’m not a musician by any means but I have a huge interest in making electronic and harsh noise. This midi is perfect
Defintely one of the better samplers ive seen. Straightforward with actual interfacing and all compact and efficient use of space
It's delightfully tactile and analogue feeling! I'm no musician but I could definitely play with CHOMPI for hours. :)
I'm so hyped for this, this seems like a neat little instrument you can just carry around and use to mess with sounds. Quick question, will there be an app/software that will help visualize the changes you're making to the sound/loops?
Giant manual with tiny german writing 😂
I've always wanted to learn how to use synthesizers but i felt like I would get overwhelmed.. but this was explained so well! I would say this would definitely be good for beginners
Till this day there hasn’t been a piece of hardware that i knew from the jump i wanted, but Chompi…. just hits home. The simplicity and endless possibilities, not to mention it looks very portable. Looking forward to seeing what everyone creates with it and I can’t wait to get my hands on one!
this just came up on my recommended page. and wow, this thing is amazing. great job explaining the features, Tobias! can't wait for more
Genuinely love this. Such a unique and pleasing instrument with so much flexibility it seems
I'm so glad I got suggested this vid from TH-cam. I can feel the honesty that you have and the passion for the project! It's honestly beautiful, and I will now excuse myself to the Kickstarter to see if I can afford contributing a bit :) nothing makes me happier to see people create things that sure, might be based on a basic keyboard, but make it so unique, intuitive and, as you said, "magical".
It's absolutely incredible the quality of user-friendliness I can see on this sampler. I definitely want it! 😻👍
I really want to see more of this! This is such a cool project, I'd love to get my hands on one!
600$ is a weird price for something like this though - It's acool device, but I got a Korg electribe sampler, which is 400$, or the OP-1 used for 600$ - both much more potent instruments in my eyes - but prove me wrong..
I need this so badly you guys, playing around with this is so much more intuitive than a piano and I might actually be able yo start my music career without getting bored trying to learn piano
This is actually so amazing, ive never been a guy whos been very good at musical stuff but tbh with this i could maybe try
3:01 o my, truly magic
I'm very happy for you guys. For the money I think it is a little expensive considering what is out there, but this is small quantity so I understand it. Hopefully this thing blows up and sells like crazy and you can bring the price down to three or four 99. For me it's a no-brainer at that point
This is one of those tools where as soon as I saw it, my mind starting racing with possibilities of what I would create with it. As someone who has always been curious about sampling for a long time but has been hesitant to jump in, this seems like a great tool to get started on. It seems like there is quite a bit of depth with the range of options you've built into this thing. I can't wait to own one some day
this is an actual mood. that song you made right there. the whole video, it's amazing.
Nothing like a little Chompi Club to start off my day, I think I speak for all of us!
I cannot express how awesome that was. I have no experience with musical production, but I would love to mess around with one of these
I actually appreciated how you actually used the product instead of using intense music and intense visuals to sell the selling points :)
How many times have I watched this video?
Absolutely
I have no experience making electronic music outside of getting kicked off a sample pad, and this really makes me want to get into it
As an aspiring music producer I've always struggled with melodies but this seems like the perfect solution! So fun and easy to use, sick as hell!
Gear wont change your songwriting skills but practice will, some can do so much with so little but yet some can do so little with so much
As an aspiring writer I’ve always struggled with stories
@@elcarcano2 lmao
@@elcarcano2 hahaha
This won’t help your creativity learn to actually play an instrument like piano or guitar and practice songs thats how you get better at melody writing
This feels nostalgic and brand new and refreshing all at once…Magic!
This looks so incredibly fun and charming to use. I've been wanting to introduce the neices and nephews to music and creativity and these looks like a great tool to do so.
Damn these mechanical keyboards are going crazy these days
Looking very promising, love the use of computer switches instead of a traditional piano keys. Reminds me a lot of the OP-1 - How many tracks will we be able to record onto this? I think that's the biggest limitation of the op-1 and is what has prevented me from buying, oh and the price of course.
This is SO cool! It’s straightforward, simple, and pretty darn cute.
This is the DOPEST, most intentionally thought out, and most convincing add I’ve ever seen. I don’t even make music, or am even remotely apart of this world and I want one.
It is definitely something I would use, MIDI connectivity would seal the deal. I love the physical design too.
Chompi es realmente mágico 😢💖
As a voice actor, I'd just like to comment that this has been brilliantly presented. Well done!
I'm loving the new kit coming out, and this looks to be one of the best.
On its own this is great! I see a lot of potential for this- you could put in CMI samples and go that route... or you can use it for loop based solo performances rather than just a punch in/out pedal! It is also adorable!
I was like "Oh, this is a pretty neat sampler", and then you spun the purple knob backwards and turned the magic knob, and my jaw dropped. This is the coolest thing I've seen, I want it now.
Edit: Ouch, just saw the $500 early bird price on your website. That's a little steep for me right now, but I would be glad to purchase this at some point later. It's maybe a bit high for what it is, but I also have to remember y'all are a new business, and the hardware seems incredibly high-quality.
I'm not one to invest in kickstarters just because of all the failed projects that never deliver, but I will purchase it for the higher price after the campaign if it's successful.
The Chompi logo is so cute! and this instrument looks super interesting. Can't wait to see more.
This is cool as hell! I think the best part about it is how much it does within such a compact size.
1:02
did anyone else crack up laughing at this or just me
So simple but so powerful. Like all good ideas it is hard to understand why no one thought of it before. I have struggled to introduce sampling to my workflow but I knew how to use this instrument by just looking at it. Subbed! will be keeping an eye on this
that looks so fun! and the dreamy example you made was indeed magic.
my god this is actually....i can't even find the word to describe this... this is sooo sooo cool... even though i can't afford it now but if i could i would definitely be the one to buy this.. you did an amazing job creating this.. and good luck for Chompi
been thinking recently how can i get my future kids into music creation earlier than i was introduced. this is absolutely perfect for them. the layout is inviting and the controls are simple with complex capabilities.
This looks pretty cool, music you made in it sounds great
I haven’t been this excited about a new piece of music gear in a long long time.
This is so much YES. Finally a fast simple warm inviting sampler design.
I love stuff like this but I feel like the retail price for these fun looper/sampler machines are so insane most of the time 😅
499$.....
Ridiculous
@@Thomas_Sch OP-1 is the most common hardware that does the same work rn and it's 1500$ lol
600 bucks after kickstarter tho
Unfortunately we got used to paying slave labor rates for our toys, and this isn’t that
genuinely coolest thing ive seen in weeks and i just took a trip to nyc for the first time. this is so sick! im not big into sampling and taping but this is gonna be incredible!
so relaxing so magical so beautiful, thank YOU for blessing youtube with your chompi
This is so cool! love the design with the keyboard key looks! Deffo gonna buy this! beautiful sounds too!
There can never be enough samplers and this one looks like an amazing bit of kit!
I love how there is no screen and it's just pure imagination where your errors are going to create something you never thought was possible.
Good luck with your product launch Tobias!
Hello!
This is really nice!
Is it possible to edit effects on each sample, or are the effects applied after blending everything?
this demo is so succinct and brilliantly made!!
Absolutely stunning! I cannot wait to bring one home!! Amazing work!
The FX loop in this sounds insane. Is there any possible way to run external effect modules or pedals into this thing? Regardless, looks sick and I can't wait to learn more about it. You might just have a future customer here!
Looks awesome, i like the keyboard button approach - looks very well thought out and sounds nice. Which connections are possible? Does it have memory on its own or externals? Midi? CV? What is the output soldered to, minijacks or solid connection? Questions over questions, it looks very promising :)
Neato! I've always loved the idea of using IRL sounds on a keyboard! Hope this gets more attention!
I’ve watched this video 4 times. Mesmerizing
This looks so fun, like a simplified OP-1 ! I really hope your Kickstarter campaign works out
I'm pretty sure that will be too expensive for me....
Finally something even I could use!! Super excited
Yooooo! This video comes up in recommended and its amazing. Congratulations on doing this, I hope you continue with this for a long time. :)
