Does this sound like an instant classic choice or is that my wishful thinking tricking me? I feel strong 80s vibes from the sounds in this demo, at least. In a nice way.
I think it will be heavily suggest to sample shorts thst van emmidiatly used in a drum sequence no menus just instant 909 style sequencing with anytging you can use as percussion
So if this is sample based .. wheres the mojo at? VCAs /VCFs? Multisamples /round robin Pitc in hz? Aliasing algos? I mean what's the sales pitch we have great samplers nowadays and great sounding hybirds drumlog, aplabase..🤨
Bullfrog Synth is US $600+, I don't see this gaining traction for education and underfunded schools unless it can compete with a $99 Arturia Beatstep and a cheap software drum sequencer (on phone/tablet/PC/Mac).
These sounds are not up to being used in a professional production. Perhaps the box can do better. But if not then I'd be asking what the creators were thinking.
I played with bullfrog at Superbooth and it was terrible. Not fun at all. The synth has normalized routings which are not diagrammed on the device so you’d only know about them if someone tells you or presumably if you read the manual. That makes it terrible as an educational tool lol. They didn’t think it out well at all. The DATO DUO and.d DRUM on the other devices for people “aged 3 to 99” are an absolute blast. They are fun and sound great. I don’t know what Erica was thinking with these Bullfrog products. Great idea; terrible execution.
@@motobormusic their cheapo TR wannabe modules for rookies and all the rest. Awful, of the same league as modern trROLAND, Uli, Crapturia etc. absolute crap.
I'm sorry to hear that you found the demo incoherent. I appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future videos. Thank you for watching.
Congrats on being the ONLY person to cover a Richie hawtin collab drum machine. 🤝🫡🤯 Did you have a peek at the IO? How many outputs, sample input, cv, sd??
Thanks! I forgot to check the back. Erica Synths booth was always so crowded, Im glad that I managed to get this video at all. Hopefully there will be some more official release note on this in the near future.
There is now more info from Erica Synths about this product www.ericasynths.lv/news/bullfrog-drums/
Sounds pretty tight actually. Love the gated cymbals
First Superbooth video I’ve seen on this - great work!
Awesome! Thank you!
this looks amazing
Yes, it is. It's a nice size, and all the buttons and knobs feel sturdy and tactile.
FANTASTIC looking knobs! Best knobs ever! Nice looking and sounding unit!
Well spotted, looks interesting 🙂

This thing looks absolutely wicked! What was your impression of the buttons? Tactile and clicky I hope! ^.^
The buttons were very good and responsive. Erica Synths have been useing these kind of buttons on their product for some time now.
is there a way to get "Note repeat" MPC or "Step jump" volca type
How many Patterns? lets hope 999! (that is the top level of organization? no "projects"?) is there SD card

And lots of overdrive effect of course
I want this

don't worry, they have other drum machines that'll do all that and also some fantastic eurorack modules... the bullfrog series is aimed at education
Sounds pretty desirable to me. I mean, it’s digital, but as far as I can tell has an interesting character going on. Erica rarely disappoints.
I like the buttons it better sample and mangle I see the rec button on it hope that’s for sampling and it better be under 300
It will have sampling and some mangling functions, but under 300 is unrealistic.
It’s Erica, not Behringer 😉
Is this ES 1st instrument with sampling capabilities?
They do have the Sample Drum eurorack module.
Froggy 🐸

So what is this offering us as a new device????
Simplicity!
ever used a drum machine before?😅
Yes, but It was my very first time with this one.
Battery?
There is no battery, that I know of.
@@motobormusic bummer
@@BeepsAndBeats my USB power banks and Cioks 4 pedal power bricks asked me to send their greetings your way, after reading this. :D
but that snare sounds like a geriatric bullfrog passing gas
Sample based 😥
These sounds are not up to being used in a professional production. Perhaps the box can do better. But if not then I'd be asking what the creators were thinking.
This was one of the kits loaded from the machine. There are plenty to choose from and you can add your own.
Define "professional production". Chances are what you consider "professional" has me very disappointed as a listener.
Not for me just nothing special 😢
I believe that's what makes it special. The Bullfrog range is meant to be simple and educational.
This doesn't even sound like a proper bullfrog. Me disappoint!

Erica, that rookie wannabe brand lol
What do you think makes Erica a rookie wannabe brand?

Incoherent gibberish of a demo, doing disservice to the manufacturer and the drum machine.

@@motobormusic nah fuck that, go even more incoherent next time 🤘
Thumbs down.
