I was coming over to share the same link. Thanks, Michael! I always appreciate your perspective. Now it’s time to rewatch the Dirtywave M8 GAS Therapy video 😂
Dude 🎉😂
Awesome more wav samples added to my library, thanks man.
I wonder if there's a similar source for the og pocket operators
nice! I need to load these up to my Octatrack and SP404 MK2.
For someone who has never seen you channel, just ordered my KO, and haven't been making music for years, i think you're spot on. I was using nothing but ableton years ago and i thought this product would be a good idea to help jumpstart me back into music but considering i would just be learning "how to do the same old tricks over again" im reconsidering not only my purchase, but my approach.
Thank you for that. Subscribed.
There are benefits to using hardware... like, playing an instrument instead of using a mouse and qwerty keyboard. But if you want to make songs, it's important to have something solid at the center of your workflow, and that solid core is usually a DAW. I personally like the Ableton style of doing things, but don't want a computer in my process, so I'm using a Force and just one hardware instrument... and it completely cured my GAS. Now when I watch videos about new synths, it gives me ideas for things to try on my current gear, but it doesn't make me want to buy anything.
get Koala. I had an MPC 1000. I sold it because Koala it’s better than any hardware sampler.
"At a first glance ... ticking all the boxes" ... waiting for an eventual bad gear review on this :)
Koala is an ever expanding multitool. I appreciate you for continuing to spread its reach.
let me guess... koala
edit: yep. this software is just unbeatable
😂
Koala for everything, but it's so late for me
Please be koala please be koala
Koala is nice but I have a small phone and big hands. Not a great combination
But.. koala is paid
Awesome episode as always. It’s all about making music and not collecting trendy gear! 🎹🎸🤟
Except it is about collecting cool looking gear right? I mean I like collecting stuff.
But often it’s the specific gear that is the most inspiring.
@@TheDungeonDive I can agree to that, but buying more gear than you are producing music can be a very real hazard
@@JeanLucConnery we all do, but how good of a musician are you. Probably could have made just as good music without new gear.
I really envy people that doesn’t suffer from GAS
Michael your vids are such a sobering and re-aligning energy in this world of new stuff. While gas does not affect me a as much - your reminder to make music with what you have is always relevant. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Man you are my hero, everytime i have the impulse on buying new gear i always return to your channel and i stop the impulse. Thanks a lot!
This guy’s deadpan sense of humor and the way he spoofs other TH-camrs is just so top tier. I love it.
After the announcement of the K.O. 2 Sampler just waited for the a GAS therapy episode about it and here it is. ❤
Btw.: i bought a cheap ipad some weeks ago and installed Koala, from which i heared first from this channel. Quick and powerful app! I have a lot of fun with it.
You are absolutely correct, thank you for knocking some sense into me. Seriously. I have enough devices, enough gear, etc. What I really need to do is myself into gear with improving my abilities and skills, I need to actually sit down and make music rather than fiddling with loop after loop after loop on new toys.
I just stumbled on your channel and immediately subbed after watching this vid. I really appreciate your anti-GAS approach and focus on personal skill improvement. Such a refresher after being inundated with essentially advertising infomercials from most “music gear review” channels.
Keep it up - thank you! 🤘
Appreciated, but don't take my words all, it's just another extreme edge balancing the market.
I already bought my EP-133, K.O.II and enjoying the crap out of it, but I came here to say that I think you make some great points and I appreciate your thoughts and insight ✌
1:20 Michael turns into Florian Pilz in seconds 😂
As always, I appreciate your reminders. The siren song of hardware that does things my iPad already does-and in a more limited fashion-keeps calling to me. At least with Teenage Engineering, their marketing makes it clear they don’t want me as a customer. 😄
I'm baffled by TE as a company. I don't get how they exist, charging such absurd prices for their equipment; all of it is techno-minimalist stuff, reminiscent of mid-90's computer hardware, and is generally made using the same kinds of parts... They're neatly packaged and clean-looking, but that's about it. 🤷🏻🤷🏻
Their business model is just... weird. It's like their banking on yuppies contracting G.A.S. simply because they don't actually understand what a product does.
@@georgemeller4074 Whatever they're trying to do, it seems to work for them.
Luxury products do have advantages. I know a TH-camr who found a lot of value in their tiny-ass mixer and little speaker/looper. I don't know if the magical spells wore off yet, since I covered my eyes for protection. 🙅🏿♀️
You are 100% right. New gear can not make up for the lack of creativity. I love your work. Keep it up. God bless. Sani
a hardware workflow can totally change your creative process and enhance creativity. there is a reason why people choose to go dawless/outside of the computer. people who work with computers, for example
to "remind" people that they can just use their computer for free is not a revelation
“We got KO II at home”
KO II at home: 🐨
I'm always so happy when you post. Most original videos in the hardware space.
Finally a sane viewpoint to contrast all the GAS. Kudos!
I love how you advocate for DIY when it's more affordable and high quality!
the importance of your work is immeasureable. thank you once again
Thank you for this wake up call! Just downloaded Koala - and if I don't get round to using it, it didn't cost me £299 :)
The truth of it all is that these types of products are good for maintaining the need to evolve electronic instruments over time...and as we can see, it is also good for making other products like Koala gain publicity. It is always good that there is news products in the market, for better or worse. I prefer seeing new products in our lives each year and not being stuck in Ableton Live for the rest of our short lives. Peace ✌🏻
you've changed your delivery of the message and it comes across way better then your earlier vids. awesome and keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it, and my current setup is way cheaper than previous ones, I’ll talk about it in the future.
Always a big Thank You for keeping us focus and show lighting Koala Sampler as a better alternative than the EP-133, for I've been a Koala Sampler user since day one! Again, Thank you from the Koala Sampler Community.
What community? Please…How on earth a 4 dollar app can have a community? How do you come up with these kind of crap. Do the community gather somewhere we don’t know of? By the way, there tens of sampler apps, do they have communities?
thank you i had a GAS problem in photography. your channel slaps
I’ve been waiting for this one!
OMG I needed dis GAS so bad this week i have had the most i have felt so meh seeing thing all over the internet but can you trust the internet any more i may need GAS Therapy
The internet is just Television 2.0. It's main purpose is selling you things while creating mediocre content to keep you watching the commercials 😜
Quality entertainment is always found in hobbies.
I don't know why… the way you typed that, I imagined you with literal gas 💨 caused by your GAS. 😸
fantastic video rly convinced me to just start my music prod journey (that ive been hesitating to try for 20 years) because DAWs seemed overwhelming and hardware is so enticing. thank you bro. earned a sub fasho
Absolutely 100% agree and I was pretty much primed to buy this as soon as I saw it.
It looks absolutely beautiful. I love the whole 1980s Calculator aesthetic. But 64 MB? And don’t get me started on broken speakers and faders straight out of the box,
I say this as a teenage engineering fanboy too (before they started selling $1500 tables, I mean)
stuff like koala gives old phones a new purpose haha dedicated sampler and sample/best of everything collection etc. also the touchscreens and displays are still amazing. also your content is amazing keep us on the wright path haha:)
Michael you'd want to watch your back, the big synth manufacturers will be out for you
Thank you for dunking on good-looking trash from companies like teenage engineering. I can now save money and make music instead ✨
I’m starting to really thank my lucky stars I bought my MacBook instead of more beat making gear.
I first got the dr. sample 303. It sparked a revolution in my mind. I became obsessed with, records, different record players, tapes of various formats, the different tape players and recorders and instruments. I filled my house with all kinds of 90’s musical toys that could cost a fortune to some. Then eventually the 404 mk2 and I do love using them. Although, there is no denying that you can achieve a smoother and more tactile workflow with the same, if not better results using a MacBook with GB and Koala.
You won’t be seeing me selling them or trying to pawn them off anytime soon though. Once you put all that stuff in the same daw, it’s like a party in there.
I love these videos. It really is showing us all and re teaching the lesson that started this beat stuff.
You don’t need all the fancy new crap that costs a bunch of money to make good beats. In fact, often times, limiting yourself to stay inside a little box with added limitations can make you compromise ideas you would of never thought of otherwise. This brings new sound to the table and usually improves the workflow.
Much like modern music corporations have a strong hold over the music we listen to on the radio. They get to tell us what is “good” and “acceptable” to be a hit played on the air.
Akai and other analog machine companies are now trying to tell you how to make beats and limit you in the wrong ways. In your wallet. They don’t want to see you as a professional musician for real. You would probably make more money than them with less work.
Everybody needs to take notes from this gentleman right here. He is onto something big.
As always, thanks for speaking common sense that people need to hear. The anti-capitalist hero we need.
Michael I just wanna say thanks for always sharing your knowledge you've always remind me that we don't need gears to create, just a DAW and how to properly utilize it
You said something that you are absolutely right, most of us who pass by here should focus more on improving musical skills instead of buying more gadgets to do more or less the same.
great to hear you again, think as you
Always enjoy your videos Michael. Very informative and to the point. Keep up the great work.
This is your best video yet Michael!
Your videos are very healing my friend. Thank you. Im just in the process of selling my entire studio of many synthesizes, sequencers outboard fx etc etc. Thousands of moneys worth. It all was just catching dust. Funnily I bumped into your content after I made the tuff decision but its so confirming. Looking forward to live freely again without all the stuff, Gear addiction is a serious desease lol,
Wish you happy improving yourself and getting better 🧗
Gracias bro estos vídeos son necesarios y aportan un gran valor. Ojalá Koala pueda esponsorear tu gran trabajo!
Teenage Engineering almost got me this time around... Thanks for the slap on the wrist and the samples!
I’ve been making music off and on for 20 years. And you are absolutely right. Social is full of product videos masquerading as reviews though.
When they released it, I thought: What’s special about this one. And you’re right: Nothing. 😅
That Cuckoo's intro killed me man 😂
👏🏽 this approach to gear really separates the doers from the dreamers
Yoooo! I'm so glad to find you, brother. Michael is keeping it real 💯. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Michael and Happy Birthday!
haven't even watched it yet... but YESSSSSSS! you're back!!!
You're the best cure for my crazy GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). I always think that a new 'toy' will make me able to make music... but need to just make it with what I've got.
“At the first glance it’s is ticking all the boxes” I love how Audiopilz is now a historical legend
This man is a saint out here saving all of us fools from ourselves with his words of wisdom.
Great Video. I am happiest pressing big plastic knobs while making hip hop. Using a dedicated hardware for music brings joy unlike a computer, the ultimate distraction machine.
the music world doesn't deserve you man. You are awesome!!
thanks so much Michael for those videos! greetings from italy
Been subscribed a long time. I don’t need to know…but your vids are a wonderful and welcome reminder to focus on creation and beauty and music rather than spending money on hardware…especially if it takes one back in some form or another.
Pretty funny how your older MacBook and my standard 2020 iPad have far more options and capabilities than these overpriced things which do so far less with little to nothing that’s above.
Yes. Let’s focus on creativity and music first. First. Always first!
Keep creating and challenging, brother! I’m…WE are loving it! 🙂
I agree but i understand many people got the PO K.O for the portability and having a small and portable device with physical buttons and potentiometers you instead of another app I'm your phone. I don't think portability is a key feature of the K.O II and I will totally try koalas. Thank you for sharing
Yes, a cool hardware device can inspire you to create. However, people are great at lying to themselves about their decisions. I think it is very difficult for people to be able to differentiate between a genuine inspiration that a device *might* provide and a simple craving to buy a shiny new toy. It's usually a craving to buy a shiny new toy. GAS is real in the music and photographer community. Some people are able to honestly admit that they are suffering from GAS, but many people will rationalize their craving-driven purchases instead.
I was as gassing over this box but you and Koala saved the day. Thanks 👍
The KO 2 def has a learning curve, and can be a pain in the ass when yr learning it. I’ve heard the medieval hardware actually has different functions and isn’t just the EP-133 w medieval samples. I’d want that one too, if it worked the same way. I already have way too many synths and groove boxes, drum machines, guitars, pedals , etc, so i need to cool out on the GAS.
As soon as I saw this product and the price and heard everyone saying "what a bargain!", I could here you saying "too much!". And I tend to agree. :) Although you couldn't find a good way emulate a broken fader with software. 😅
Totally agree bro, I got a pocket full of money and this doesn't gas me at all. Good video
thank you for that video!!!!:-) Always its good to be reminded about GAS issues. Bless
Thank you for continuing to make videos for this series!
The sample reload tool on the TE site can just import all the samples if you want the samples on another unit.
God bless you Michael. You do a public service sir.
I use Koala Sampler everyday and I was dead set on buying an SP404. Then came the EP 133 which is less expensive and cool looking so I thought I would buy the EP 133 instead. After watching this video I've changed my mind. Apparently koala is all I need. Thank you.
I didn't give up on my musical dreams and take a visual art career to skimp on gear dammit! (You are totally right as usual but I think my wife has trumped us both this Xmas)
Id agree the ep-133 is basically a toy but I bought it knowing that, and judging it on that basis ive had a lot of fun messing around with it
Wow... I wasn't even aware that Koala Sampler is available for PC and MAC! 😳😳
Thanks for sharing! 😎
Man legit therapy I needed, and them Hollywood transitions at the start.. phew
So I almost bought the KOII and my 10 year old daughter, who has seen me using Koala, and was watching the video for the KOII was like, "no offense, but can't Koala do everything that can do?" The spell was broken. I immediately decided not to get it, and now with all the videos on the quality issues, I am glad about that decision. Koala is amazing.
as someone who bought and returned a ko 2 with a bad fader, heed my words: use what you've got, and don't let the gas overtake you
Yes! Finally someone said the truth. Don't spend your time and money trying to find better tools... work on improving your skillset as a musician.
The Koala updates are AWESOME!!! The Mixer and Important libraries are fantastic 👍✨
I totally agree with your assertion that the K.O.II is an overhyped feelgood toy. Koala popped into my head right away! 😂 I've been using FL Studio Mobile a lot lately as well. Between the two, the possibilities are endless ✌️😮
THE LEGEND RETURNS
Love the toaster in the back. KO roast!
I was waiting for this video. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Welp... Thank you for the kick of reality. I've had the Koala sampler on my iPad for a couple of years and I never really dug in to it. Always something else to play with... life comes along, etc. To say that I feel hilariously dim for not even realizing simple functions on the thing would be an understatement. But hey, the TE released the KO2 I was all hyped up! I am so eternally glad that I kept my wallet shut. I;ll be watching more Koala vids from now on!
Your videos are always spot on...
this is great advice to not buy lots of synth or music gear. The Virus TI2 was one of the greatest hardware all in one synths in a box outside of working just ITB in a DAW.
I think I found out about koala sampler from this channel way back when the sp404mkII came out...couldn't be more happy with the purchase, and I use it way more than any other gear or even Ableton, simply because of its workflow and by having it in my pocket..The export options only sweeten the deal..so thanks for recommending it! Cheers! (the EP-133 does look sexy though)
I love this video, and all your gas videos. I was working on a little track today with none of my hardware, and it's interesting how long I went just jamming and having fun for the first time in a while, just to get through a particularly crappy day. All of a sudden I was struggling with drums and wishing out loud I had a solution, and my spouse said "oh, you mean like your 808?" and I laughed because it lets me know which of these fancy toys I really love and miss, and which ones are just kinda extra presets and a subtle variant on the theme of "2-4 oscillator subtractive analog polysynth" or "DX7 but looks different."
So heres the thing. This is an instrument and should be treated with the same expectations as one. It's like saying why buy a guitar, I can make all the guitar sounds on my DAW for free with my keyboard. Everyone would agree it's not the same thing. At the same time to make good music with anything you need talent, skill and patience. Regarding mixing and mastering, 99% percent of people will need a profesional to do this properly for them. Which obviously costs money. So even with a $1000 phone, a $2000ipad, $2500mbp a free app or a $600 DAW, music will still cost additional money on top of that to be legitemately produced. For the average consumer, all these programs, applications and instruments will be just toys anyway.
Im totally with u when u say “better improve your skills” and overall this GaS thing. Thank u for that sobriety!
But!
I guess why I dont see anybody who making solid stylish creative music with koala? I mean, if I can pick up top 100 beatmakers, chances to meet someone with koala is close to zero. Why?
Some wisdom shared. Wow.
Yes!!! Koala sampler is the best. I honestly can't see the fuss of the EP 133, it looks nice. But Koala does it all
Loving the lofi girl cosplay at the end 😂 🎧
🤔
Cheers from Guandong! You rock!
All your videos are a big win. Actually useful!
Or a lose? I lost my time and nobody pays me back 😄
@@playpm virtue is it's own reward.
Your videos are always a breath of fresh air. Thank you!
+1 to this: 4:53 "It's just a good-looking toy, makes you feel good while pressing the buttons. If you want to make music, then you should make music... and put your time and effort on improving your skills." I love toys, but the EP-133 KO-2 seems like it's only for making quick low-effort beats, and I'd rather use something designed for actually producing complete songs.
I'm a victim of Fader gate, I downloaded the samples and now I'm going to return.
I do like how the device is quick and easy to use, the keyboard click and playing is very satisfying, it's very intuitive and the punch in FX are the best thing the KO II has going for it imo.
Cons are high other than the faulty faders, no resample, theres only 64 MB of memory no storage slot, theres only 6 stereo/12 mono poly.
When it works it feels great but when it doesn't its clunky and it shows.
TE gear is about limitations and if you need limitations to be creative we as creative people can set these parameters by ourselves and can do that with the gear we already have.
All in all, I don't think I'll ever buy another piece of gear from TE again.
Just stop falling for the hype, GAS, and FOMO buying new toy samplers in this day, and age.
Nothing will dissuade me from my fully kitted out hardware studio......welll ...its never 'fully' kitted out, it never will be, thats the fun for me. I have a 4k mac mini and studio monitor with an arturria keylabs mk II 88 Key controller with loads of vsts abd plugins, Komplete, the lot, but personally none of it compares to messing with my Polybrute or Iridium, patching the midi thru my mrcc router and routing it through my big sky reverb and microcosm pedals.
I spent most my life working on a PC , im in my 40s now so thats probably why i prefer twiddling the knobs more......if im feeling extra Hainbach i have tape looper and video projector from the 50's! Which create some crazy old skook scratches and visuals.
Its all just preference imo, and of course, what you can afford etc.
Cool video. I agree with a lot of what you say. To the using of the computer keyboard, i have tried countless times over the years and
use it for auditioning sounds for a few seconds but if i want to play a melody i will use my external midi keyboard.
The computer keys dont feel good to me if i play more than one note. The tactile feeling .
For the Koala i can imagine the akai mpd 218 pad controller as being the perfect partner and you can get it relatively cheap used i suppose.
Its an amazing controller if you want to play with samplers.
I understand people that want to use something like the ko 133 . It is the idea using a dedicated hardware for the tactile feeling.
Teenage engineering is a weird company that i am not supporting but i get the appeal and design.
I share your view that you can use anything to make music.
The defining instrument is ones own mindset after all
I use the MPD218 with koala! It's perfect for it, a go to combo for me to jam or just catalogue samples
Great point! Even Akai has the free iMPC for phones that has all these features. Plenty of free options out there, unless you really, really want to make music on something that looks like an 80s calculator.
Had exactly the same thought, glad I could avoid the gas purchase
I use gran finale 2 for ipad to master my beats, but a mastering tutorial just using koala would be cool.
Definitely will do one at some point, stay tuned~
Seconding that idea, please and thank you! Mastering with simple tools is always a great topic to research!
Thirding
Thanks for the reminder to build skills vs buy unskilled builds.
You forgot to put a picture of Buster Douglas on your computer desktop wallpaper to complete the effect.
Koala Sampler plus free Synth One by Audiokit and you have a hell of possibilities to be creative.
