People should appreciate how you do everything....compose, play, record, engineer, produce as well as all the logistics involved by yourself along with the computer engineering and software expertise. Amazing skill set along with deep musical training and ability. A modern wonder, Kebu!
Kebu is remarkable in that he can visualize a composition and then render it virtually on the fly. Back in my programming career, someone asked me how I did it. My response was that it was like visualizing a really big house room by room, and then populating each room with furniture, rugs and art. Then, whille holding all of that in mind, rotate the house without losing track of anything. It's a crude example, but it helps non-programmers to understand some of the process.
@@WardDorrityso that's why I really sucked at programming... I couldn't visualize a single room right in front of me to save my life. Let alone trying to rotate it in my mind!
I thought I could not be more impressed by your talents, but I was wrong. Really amazing. I will not even pretend that I understood half of the details, which just proves that some people are born to be creative wizards and others are born to worship them! Thank you for blowing my mind.
I'm very impressed Kebu. Your music is magical and you are a great master in the production of such great music. I listen to all your music almost every day. Hopefully some day you will do a concert here in the USA.
I love how you “casually” start playing something on the spot at @1:43 and it still manages to give me chills. You’re so talented Kebu. Please release that as a track!!!
thank you so much for sharing your passion and joy. you can see the spark in your eyes as you explain. it is always fascinating to to listen to creators explain how they create
This really inspires me with my own setup! Would love more of this, or even a "Kebu-Tech" channel in which you go over the technical aspects of your setup.
As someone that's only just starting to set up a personal music studio, this insight into your professional setup and workflow is great! I can really see how convenient your setup is to work with and it gives me loads of ideas for setting up my own. I hope to one day be able to have a great studio setup like yours! Thanks for sharing!
Oh man, you;'ve just opened my eyes to a whole world of possibility. I'm just about to replace my old XR18 with the X32 rack + expander, but, I'd not considered that I could use more than one expander to keep everything I have connected all the time! I do realise that I'd still be limited to 40 channels in use for each project, but that's just solved a whole load of connectivity headaches for me! 🙂
What an awesome insight into your workflow and philosophy for creating sounds and music. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so beautifully. You're a true artist and a lovely guy! ;)
I could listen to people with your level of talent just plunking around for hours on end. It's just insane talent and your music is from your heart, obviously.
Waow ! It's amazing to see your studio and how your workflow is set up, Kebu ! And it's even more wonderful to feel your joy and your passion as you are sharing all this with you ! 🥰🎉 Keep making *your* music, Kebu ! We love it ! ❤ Renaud, from Luxembourg

Your passion for what you do really comes through with every word. Combined with your creativity it really makes for exceptional music. Thanks för sharing your passion!
Awsome huge setup!.... Your video reminds me a little of my early days. In the 90's Cubase was my sequencer Software (1992 audio recording didn't exist yet), and a Fostex 280 4 track recorder later was sort of my mixer, which was later extended by a Yamaha 16 channel rack mixer. Then a Audiowerk8 was my recording Hardware. But I only had a SY55 synth and a Korg 05R/W, later an Ensoniq EPS 16.... but then came my second love, the motorcycle and girlfriend, and so on. And I didn't have enough money for both hobbies .... ==> the "Recording way" was the same. Everything was done in Midi, mostly just the mix was Audio-recording. Thank you for your explanations... wonderful development.
You have to be an enthusiast when you stick to so much old gear! I guess something is always broken? Great insights, thanks! I saw you performing in a small Berlin bar some years ago, I am a fan!
Superinteresting! Thank you/Tack! I had 15 or so connected at my "MIDI peak" And as you wrote, most of the problems were computerrelated :) Love your music! You actually inspire me to start doing instrumental music live again. After all, my dream when I was ten and drew synthpanels on IKEA shelves was to do what you do :) Henrik
The Conductive Labs MRCC is a super handy midi router that can be rack mounted or tabletop, it has an almost button per port 6in 12out standalone midi patch bay plus cv mini jacks, clock out and 4 USB midi host as well as USB to computer with a small screen to drill into complex routing, split, merge etc. Edit:forgot to mention they have an expansion/breakout boxes for more inputs and outputs over ethernet so you can have less long midi cable runs, and 2 MRCCs can be chained for more I/O
Thanks Kebu, you make me very happy. Your workflow with MIDI is the same as mine. You have made my day. Thanks for your very interesting videos, I will be looking forward to this series. 😊
Thank you for the video. Very interesting and useful. For a long time I tried to find a video like that. Thanks again. You do a great job and great music. Thanks again. Paljon kiitoksia 🙂
Thank god I’m not the only one who does this. It’s also inspiring to try different sounds as they will be heard in the final mix. I also use an X32 and by doing this the project and mixer presets can be saved for live so it also reduces the studio to stage workflow as all tracks and compressor and EQ settings can be saved once with only the final mix audio captured in the Daw ready for the final mix and mastering.
Me: I see you have Roland M-200i - 32-channel digital mixer with 17 motorized faders, 24 onboard inputs and 14 outputs expandable up to 64 x 54, iPad controllable, capable of Multi-channel recording up to 40 channels. Kebu: Yeah. I use it to echo the snare. 😄 I wonder how you mange the electric power supply, especially with the vintage analogue gear - do you switch them On one by one individually, saying good morning to every single one with your morning coffee and then repeat the switch-off process at the end of the day, or do you have some sort of master, double-throw lever, switch on the wall, which sets off time-phased circuits and makes it all alive? And thank you for sharing! - it's always a pleasure to see how the heroes work 😃👍
I have a couple of master switches, but I only turn on the synths I use. It's only the Minimoog, Source and Mono/poly that need to warm up an hour or so, the rest can be switched on on a very short notice.
Great video Kebu! 🤩💯👌 Most producers today are working "in the box", so it's really nice to see how you are working with Cubase in a more old school way. I've been a Cubase user since 1990 and I remember struggling with my Atari and some synthesizers. Today I work in a hybrid setup to have a bit of both worlds. 😊 I'm looking forward to your next video. 🎹🎶❤
Blown away by the Juno60 in your live shows. What a synth. Thanks for being open about your studio and live method. The x32 looks good and at that price. Amazing. Much love from Australia
Thank you for sharing and taking time to give us a look into your studio. Very impressive and for me a great inspiration to rethink my own setup and workflow.
Hehe that’s very much like my studio setup too. All live with MIDI via 10x MOTU MIDI Express 128 and five X32 with S16 mixers into an LS9-32. All 224 audio channels and 1280 MIDI (potential) MIDI channels. 🤓🤘🏼
Incredibly informative. This sounds like the absolutely most logical way to deal with these synths. Must have taken quite a bit of organisation. I'm very jealous but also totally inspired. Thanks for this 😊
Thats an amazing studio you have .... kinda like a dream studio for all keyboard players , looks very very complicated too , Me thinks you must have spent a lot of time connecting every together before you get to play a single note on the keys , Thanks for sharing Kebo and enjoy every minute and every key your studio ...it really is amazing to see and hear how you make your music sound so damn good.... brilliant upload , big thumbs flying high from a galaxy far far away called Ireland ☘️🇮🇪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Holy cow that’s a ton of keyboards bro and thank you this is exactly what I needed your the best just simply because you share your studio and answer every comment or questions and nobody but you is doing this so thank you very much have a great weekend be safe and god bless!
This was brilliant, thanks for sharing your workflow and setup! I'm the same ... I like to mix before I record and have my little studio setup that way as well. Except that I'm not sending MIDI from the DAW but use mainly hardware sequencers and arpeggiators in my synths. But so much to learn and I'm really inspired by your setup!
Thank you so much for putting these videos together! Seeing how you've connected everything for a streamlined workflow is super helpful to understand the various complexities. I also appreciate the multitasking aspect of the two tablets. Your creativity, both musically and technically, is very much appreciated!! Great job, Sebastian! Looking forward to the upcoming videos!
Ok, yeah, "simple" was a bad choice of words. 😂 Also, the video became a bit too positive after editing it down a bit. I think it was originally 40 minutes long. There was a section about problems as well, but when I had edited the first part I realized it didn't work out anymore, so it had to go.
Wow, Kebu. I thought you would have a lot more keyboards... Lol..Love you brother. Thanks for sharing this....I would love to hear you do a song in more minors, like Chopin. Synths have so much power and emotions. Keep sharing.. 3 thumbs up for your video...
Do you have a method for how you return to working on a track. Do you make notes of the settings or do you have some kind of way to recall the settings for each synth? Sorry to ask, i find it really interesting
When the neighbors notice their living room lights are flickering: "Sigh, Kebu is recording on 144 analog channels again" 😊
People should appreciate how you do everything....compose, play, record, engineer, produce as well as all the logistics involved by yourself along with the computer engineering and software expertise. Amazing skill set along with deep musical training and ability. A modern wonder, Kebu!

It's not only great to see all this great equipment. No, especially to see someone who masters them all. Absolutely fantastic.

Folks, we are witnessing a true genius and artist at work.
I have never seen so many valuable keyboards in any instrument store I have ever been to in my entire life.
I love these explanations by Kebu! He can explain very well and keeps it interesting.
Oh man, you;'ve just opened my eyes to a whole world of possibility.

It’s astonishing. Nice to see how you blended vintage gear and the most advanced software technology taking advantage from each one of them.
Absolutely fascinating! Hope to see you in concert someday.
Incredible!!! Always fascinating to see how much technology has been integrated and interconnected! ❤❤❤
шикарная студия, совмешает в себе качество и звук уже проверенных годами инструментов, и удобство современных технологий. и интересный рассказ. ❤

Absolutely wonderful explained. I work the same, but sometimes I also record the audio source directly by older synth's. Thank you so much!
Wow! This is really a dream set-up. I love how you can integrate the new technology with the old.
What an awesome insight into your workflow and philosophy for creating sounds and music. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so beautifully. You're a true artist and a lovely guy! ;)

Thanks! Yes, I have a long list of things to fix, but they are surprisingly reliable. 99% of my problems are computer-related.
Fabulous! :) Nice to see you so happy and enthusiastic. Nicely done studio setup! And the video. Congrats. Thanks. :) Cheers.
I'd love to be able to pretend that plugins don't exist. 😅 amazing Kebu 👏
excellent - look forward to the rest of the series
And this is why your music hits differently. The use of all hardware synths just makes such an authentic sound that others can't get with plugins.
I can watch this all day
Superinteresting! Thank you/Tack! I had 15 or so connected at my "MIDI peak" And as you wrote, most of the problems were computerrelated :) Love your music!

Great, nice explanation of how everything works.
What a collection of synths,,, wow
The utmost respect. Love your stuff. I started on this type of music with Oxygene in the late 70s 80s. I’m in awe!
Amazing! Kebu, thank you for sharing. You gave me the information I was missing all this time in just a few minutes!!!!!!
I was just wondering how you connected all those synthesizers. Now you give me ideas with my own set up
The Conductive Labs MRCC is a super handy midi router that can be rack mounted or tabletop, it has an almost button per port 6in 12out standalone midi patch bay plus cv mini jacks, clock out and 4 USB midi host as well as USB to computer with a small screen to drill into complex routing, split, merge etc.

Jak Ty się w tym odnajdujesz ? Wielki szacunek Kebu !!
Thanks Kebu, you make me very happy. Your workflow with MIDI is the same as mine. You have made my day. Thanks for your very interesting videos, I will be looking forward to this series. 😊
This is mind blowing, my brain is way too small for this, Kenya love your music
Very brilliantly explained,it is really very amazing to see how brilliant creators produce their music, thru their studio.
Thank you for the video. Very interesting and useful. For a long time I tried to find a video like that. Thanks again. You do a great job and great music. Thanks again. Paljon kiitoksia 🙂

We want the new for your production Kebu..
Y'r the best
its a honor to follow your Channel years know and im still flashed about your Studio.. 🙏🏼 Thank you a lot for showing your skills and workflow

@@kebuthat’s great. What synth is the very first lead sound in your first example? The one you play live over that arpeggio
Thank you so much this gave me some good ideas on solving some workflow problems with my studio setup

Thank you for the tour !!! 😍
Very impressive for that amount of space. Must be quite a challenge to make any changes. 😃
Thank you for this very useful video! Now I understand how soooo many synths can work together!!!
One question: what is the trick to control more than 16 synthesizer with midi. There are 16 channels, but more than 16 synths….
Love the workshop series. Look forward to the next one. I noticed you used the Roland Fantom. I love mine!
Thanks for the video! Very inspiring!
