The Prettiest Analog Synth (That Also Sounds Fantastic)

- If you like the synth sounds of Boards of Canada, Plaid and other early Warp acts, and you appreciate beautiful design, the Mutuca FM by Arthur Joly is for you. Arthur send me it a while with no strings attached, and when I finally found time to play with it, I was amazed by its sounds and decided to record a video on it. The Mutuca has a warm and rich tone, almost like it was already processed on tape. Not a synth for every situation, but basses and leads it does charmingly well.

Hi! I guess Hainbach01 isn't your Telegram? Somebody did left me "a message" in comments and (probably) deleted it.

I was at at Arthur Joly´s Studio once. I was living in Sao Paulo and joined an introductory analog synth workshop he was holding at a cultural venue. I was so intrigued that i asked him if he could give me a personal lesson. So we agreed that i come to his studio. He showed me the basics and left me alone afterwards for me to patch around for a few minutes. But i was overwhelmed by all the new concepts and was just able to open and close the filter and change the pitch of the notes in the sequencer. i was afraid to unpatch anything...lol It was a huge big format synth that reached all the way to the ceiling. i felt i was left in charge of a nuclear reactor or something...
And of course Fora Bolsonaro! Sending my best wishes to all Brazilians
Cool story. Thanks for sharing.
He is finally gone
the thief is back to stole even more thanks to bring political discussion to an music video really needed
@@wessudo9195 fora Bolsonaro indeed!
If there's one thing I trust Brazil with, it's the bass
As a brazillian bassist (and drum and bass producer) i appreciate your trust
Go check Arthur Joly's latest album 'At New Doors', recorded at News Doors Keys Vintage studio in Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais. I got the vinyl record.
Fun fact: Mutuca is a common type of fly in Countryside Brazil. It's a fly but behaves kinda like a mosquito, it feeds on blood and it stings pretty hard. Just like this synth.
Is it like a gadfly then?
@@art-fw7ci yep!
So nice to see Joly's work on your channel!
really happy to see arthur joly and recosynth in your channel, much luv from brazil 🧡🤞🏾
i fucking love Arthur Joly and Hainbach
I don’t think it looks like a toy at all. It is beautiful and has a high quality look about it.
Yeah, the bright colours might fool someone at a distance, but the heft and all the metal switches (plus the VU meter!) tell you quickly it’s serious.
I think the primary colour choices give it an 80's Synth Kit look....
The VU meter is beautiful !
@@kaitlyn__L and the nice wood too. I would buy this if it had a few more features like an LFO and hard sync. That sort of thing. The price seems fair.
Beautiful little synth! Being limited can lead to new creativity in the effort to explore every corner. That said, I hope he creates a brother to this one with noise and dedicated LFO.
well said.
Deep!
The quality of the synthesizer is legit magnificent, & dope.
Had the opportunity to grab 1 of 7 Eurorack LFO Prototype Arthur created, his stuff is so unique, crazy and cool. Great video, the mutuca sounds amazing.
orra! compartilha com os brother ae
@@samaBR333 hahaha, cara foi um teste que ele fez, se chama "The HAL's Eye" um protótipo de LFO só pra ver se Euro valia a pena, mas acho que ele desencanou, tá muito difícil hoje conseguir partes, deve tá bem complicado pra quem manufatura sintetizadores. abraços!
So glad to see one of Arthur's creations around here, he's my hero!
I hope he never stops making them, and that it gets easier. What a piece of art.
Sounds nothing like I was expecting. How cool!
Oh hells yes! It looks like the control panel of a spaceship from a 60’s B grade Sci-fi and makes sounds to match. The movie in the MST3K episode “Devil Fish” sounds like it was made with this.
Awaken the beer drinker within!
This seems to come straight from some sci-fi 60 movie, lovely!
What a lovely little synth ❤️
This is absolutely awesome! Thanks for demonstrating
Keep at it Arthur!
What a gorgeous looking and rich sounding synth the Mutuca FM is!
I managed to pick one of these up for $500 and ADORE it. Such a fun inspiring little machine.
That man is a talented synthesizer designer. It looks amazing and most importantly it sounds really nice too.
Omfg Arthur Jolyyyyy! I love love love his stuff so much. That's a dream piece for me, so excited to hear your thoughts on it!
That 'heartbeat' track (don't know what else to call it) was magnificent.
I liked that too
Beautiful Brazilian technical marvel. Love it. Arthur is truly a wondrous fella.
WOAH IT MAKES A SAW? SOUNDS JUST LIKE BOARDS OF CANADA BRAH.
What a little cutie. The sound occasionally reminded me of my Stylophone 350S when it’s batteries are on their way out : ) that’s not a negative comment, I get a lovely sound from my Christmas present as an 11 year old (quite a few years ago). Being more familiar with wood rather than electronics, from what I can see, the casing is a wooden veneer, therefore friendly for rainforest conservation.
P E A C E : )
Would love to see an album of just the Mutuca sessions! It sounds so beautiful.
That sounds AMAZING with reverb. OMG. So lush.
Sounds great and looks like Thomas the Tank Engine turned into a synthesizer, which is an odd plus in my book! 😂
Gratuitous VU meters are always delightful.
He had one on his original drum machines then made a batch without. I wrote an email and said the aesthetic effect was so much cooler with them on the machines that he had to bring them back, and he did. Unfortunately I still haven’t been able to get a Recodrum because my timing of funds never meshes with production runs, but one day the stars will align, hopefully.
I love the melody and sound from 2:24 so much!
Maker Arthur Joly is a helluva guy! He has built lots AND lots of amazing stuff.
Very nice synth that would be great with all the stuff you said was missing. I do hope that he looks into expanding the synth into a bigger project and potentially into modular synth units as it's got a nice tone.
From Brazil, wow, top!
In Brazil, synthesizers are kinda rare to spot in the wild. Electronics are stupidly expensive there, with most stuff costing almost double the price in Europe and North America thanks to importing taxes. It's no wonder that synthesizers are reserved to the "well-off" or have a very niche market, are hard to market, and even harder to sell. Even if you build your own, I bet most parts would still be more expensive than they should.
I'm almost 40, and the first time I ever touched a synthesizer was after moving to Europe a few years ago. I guess that's why most of Brazilian music involves acoustic instruments (lol), so it was very surprising to discover that there is, in fact, someone making boutique synthesizers in Brazil. That's pretty cool.
Checkout Electronic Music Works (EMW) synthesizers made in Brazil.
@@erfwtf Never knew about them. Just checked it out, their cheapest synth is 390 USD. That's way too expensive for the average Brazilian. Just for comparison, cheap guitar brands like Squire and Epiphone are already considered expensive for the usual guitar player.
It's telling that the EMW site is in English, with no option for Brazilian Portuguese, and all the pricing is in USD and not BRL.
You are right, and not only electronic components are absurdly high cost (worse after the pandemic), many of them simply do not exist in our market.
It's really sad! Brazillians are so much artistic. This twices the meaning.
All my Brazilian pals have to import electronics thru family or friends of friends of friends when they go on holiday. “Bring me back an x and a y please, I’ll pay you back!” Though they’ll readily admit it’s pretty middle-class to be able to do even that.
It sorta looks like the Dewanatron synths, but with a Buchla touch pad interface. Cool stuff!
I'm a Brazilian musician, synthesist, keyboardist... And I've never ever heard about this beauty. 😳
Very long way from a vintage Bucha, but sonically I think it's a big surprise. You can probably turn it into a new VST...
grande Artur Joly! sou fã, e tem um design único!
your channel is awesome man
Sounds an absolute dream 😍
Dang that's a compelling little beauty! It's got so many great sounds. I wish I had any kind of talent and could justify buying one.
Hainbach! I would love it if you would do a video on the less sexy but very important side of making electronic music: cable and power supply organization! I want to see how you plug your stuff in! Where do you put the wall warts??? How do you rout things without being buried in a tangle of cables???
Love this video as always, and I hope Arthur makes more sweet synths!
I so need that. I'm just getting started with using real hardware synths and it's very challenging to get right ergonomically and technically.
Need this!
Very very pretty, in sound and build. The colours put me in mind of an old fashioned sweet shop, in the best way.
C’est de la bombe ! J’adorais avoir des échantillons de ce « joujoux ».
I love the videos keep it up. It always a lot of fun just discovering the unique sounds of all the equipment and getting a little history on them too.
Joly!! Great to see one of his recosynths here.
Great! I'm from Brazil and never heard of this equipment before. So cool!
Man I could play with that for hours....
this would be great combined with the Neon Egg, they look very similar
2:23
@@Hainbach awesome, the egg is on my buy list as they are still being produced. Have you done a video on it dude?
Well done - cool synth and helping a small business.
Hello to you, from USA. Synthes around the world unite!
🙏
Lulaaaa
It gives me the impression of a limited, but thick, ARP or almost Moog-like tone.
This would make such an amazing pairing with Neon Egg's Planetarium 2, same MS10 style shape. It'd be like its little pal :)
To be fair I think he did! th-cam.com/video/naflGK96a9w/w-d-xo.html
I believe there is a P2 sitting just behind the Mutuca to the left.
It's kinda like 1/3rd of a EMS or Syntrx, neat idea. Arthur I wish you luck dude!
Another fantastic synth and sweater!
what a cool little gatget thing I think its addorable
Filter sounds very wet and low! Listen to those bubbles in audio.
Nice 👍🏅
Cool design and video!
You continue to win TH-cam for me.
Great video. I instantly ordered one!
LOVE … but I would love it even more if it’s keys were old arcade buttons 🥰
sounds lovely
That's such an interesting find Hainbach! I love all these Synthesizers and old equipment you cover in your videos. I'm learning such a great deal about the history of all these great machines and the sounds and influences they've had on music and more. Looking forward to the next find you bring to our attention!!
Amazing synth! I have to look up into the brazilian modular synth scene, being brazilian and completely unaware of it lol
Fun fact, "mutuca" is the name of a brazilian fly species :)
Dei muita risada quando vi o nome. Eu chamo qualquer inseto desconhecido de mutuca hahahahaha =P
Sounds great!
Thank you Hainbach for a nice vid. Hard not to fall in love with the Mutuca. But what was that thing to the left of it on your desk, that had an almost similar look, though less colourful?
I am saving this video in my favorites to check back on progress in the comments.
Talking about early Warp Records artists - i'm definitely hearing some Broadcast with 1:29
gnarly little box!
Oh my! Some sounds are pretty familiar to those that my friend's pest repelling gadget makes! Too strange and too out of this world and even unpleasant sometimes.
But still a great one!
Thanks for sharing it's existence with us )))
Top sweater game as always dude. You should sell some!
I like the format of this synth.. reminds me of the ekdal moisturizer
It is a very nice synth. Would get one if it were $300.
Thanks much for introducing it to us.
Have a wonderful day.
Lovely synth and lovely day in Brazil today with their election outcome!
reminds me of the same synths we made in the early 1980s, vco, vca lfo linking waveforms, buttons and knobs, crazy mess of wires inside a very similar retro wooden box, but with pencil text.. and no fancy name - just "noise box", people hated our noisy noise boxes, so we made them louder with home made horn speakers made at metalwork class in school
wow it sounds great 😀
So Sophisticated
Very unique synthesizer !!!
always a treat
That demo at 6:04 sounds very Thom Yorke-ish. I could totally see him singing to that (though I could see him singing into a bucket and that would sound great too).
While I appreciate all of the synths today that can do everything, there's something to be said for a synth that has its own niche and produces a sound that nothing else does.
Looks like Lovehulten and wroughtironeffects had a child. Love it.
so the initial bassline you played immediately reminded me of a - half speed? - take on 2 unlimited 'no limit'... so is this funky little machine the key to bring eurotechno back big time?
I will admit, I am an absolute noob with regards to synth stuff, but I have to say I absolutely agree that lil thing is an absolute beaut and has pushed me over the edge to give this type and style of music a blast.
two of them tucked together would make a neat electronic accordeon-like instrument 🙂
O BGLH É QUE NOIS SABE COMO USAR O GRAVE! só vc ver um DJ de funk em qualquer favela do Brasil
O Joly é foda demais!
Beautiful
Och ist der süß!!
Fantastic sound and design!
I urge you to check out Ian Helliwell’s electronic inventions as they are so Hainbach.
He’s what you would call an outsider artist and when I mentioned that his gear and workshop looked like Hainbach’s he’d never heard of you!
Could you imagine what a fun build this would be? Kit please?
really nice !
are you using Mutuca with a sequencer? i.e. for the jam that plays at 0:01 to 0:12 ...
yes! SQ-1
naaah that is never to expensive for a good analog synth!
whooooa..sounds great!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder :)
Love your vibes👊dope, Maaan where do you find space for all your gear😂😂
I wouldn't mind having one. 👍
