@@Weaverbeats That's what I thought.. ROLI also has a LUMI keys, which is a little keyboard with "real keys" but you still get the aftertouch and vibrato. It sucks though, honestly. The blocks square thing sucks too. The ROLI Seaboard though is so good

You have to use a computer screen to figure out how to make music without a computer screen. In the process of doing so, I discovered an extremely versatile DAW controller.

@dtrelz music Hey! It's Kyle with Sweetwater! I've been trying to get a hold of you to see how those guitar picks are holding up for you and if you need anything else?
That is pointless …I have a osmoses and you need too try it too appreciate how expressive it is. Price wise I was in the first preorder batch and got mine before Xmas so I only paid $1079 :) Each key is a separate mpe controller so you can sustain a chord and then bend a melody on top ,it really is amazing.. The included synth engine is very very complex and I’ve not really scratched it yet,the presets on the whole are good but what’s really good is the osmose can add mpe too anything even if it’s not made for mpe . Honestly osmose is by far the best keyboard controller on the market,I’ve had ROLI and it blows ROLI away
I always think, out of reasoning that having the audio producer be able to go much higher than what we can hear is the frequency's we can hear being reproduced very easily, it being higher then leaving headroom... like speakers that go down to 30hz don't do a good job of 30hz... 40hz maybe, 50hz totally... so in my mind if it can go down to 10hz then I'm good to play 20hz and totally 30hz... but that's logic I made up in my own head to warrant it... but that spec doesn't not state the quality of the speakers audio... there is something to do with audio itself having more room when the limit is higher much like how eq in the lower section can effect how it sound in the higher... but still, think there are more important factors in good sound quality that isn't ever mentioned than the base frequency responses, I just assume it does play a role
I’m upgrading from the Nektar Panorama P1 to the new Nektar Panorama CS12 in July. Love all their products. They offer a lot of control over DAWS. The Nektar Aruba Pads are better than my MPC’s and Machine. Look in to it.
Nektar makes the deepest and best integrated controllers for over a decade. I have panorama p 4 for a long time and it maps into cubase so well, as well as other soft instruments.
You can't hear fundamentals above 20khz... But say, you have a fundamental at 15013 hz, a harmonic at 23,751 hz and another harmonic at 30,026 hz... Then the phase interference would cause fluctuations in the fundamental which could change the timbre noticably :D ..not that any speaker is going to be able to create those frequencies xP
@@atomictraveller 😯 wow. I've literally spent hours chasing down your old VSTs, every time I do a fresh DAW installation.

@@crnkmnky good used stuff is the way to go. if it makes you $$ in the long run it's worth the extra up front. especially stuff like mics and preamps, stuff that lasts and sounds good winds up being expensive up front but you make up for it by getting a lot more years of use.

Ok, you seem familiar with trackers, so I'll ask you. If I'm looking for a portable device to make beats on the go, even if just rough ideas or demos, why should I choose the $599 Tracker Mini over the $8 Koala Sampler software that can be installed on a cheap (under $100) Android tablet? I'm kind of struggling to understand the $599 price tag.
@Nice one is an app. Hope this helps with the price difference. I started on impulse tracker. Personally I don't use tablets it phones for music making, and never would. If you like it have fun.
@@burgermind802 There's nothing state of the art or revolutionary about the Tracker Mini's hardware and it runs on software. So the hardware doesn't account for such a high price tag. Perhaps inflation, but not the hardware.

Have you played a ROLI Seaboard before? To me, that is the best MPE controller. If you have, how does it compare to the expressive?
havent tried it, but from what other people tell me the keys dont feel as nice
@@Weaverbeats That's what I thought.. ROLI also has a LUMI keys, which is a little keyboard with "real keys" but you still get the aftertouch and vibrato. It sucks though, honestly. The blocks square thing sucks too. The ROLI Seaboard though is so good

This Osmose does seem to be on another level than the ROLI gear, and the "spongy" keys seem to be an acquired taste.

A lot of the “external controlling of your daw” stuff that I’ve been seeing recently can all be done with the Ableton Push.
... which is an "external controlling of your DAW" thing, so no surprise there 😂
Heads up, the Regency free synth in this video is not compatible with Apple Silicone. It needs some Apple certificate love which is a PITA to acquire.
😒 Developers need a certificate to run their _music_ code on Apple hardware? Gross.
