Hi, not related but I was wondering if you have tried to use old tape answering machines? I guess you would have to hack them somehow.. Maybe I should ask Look Mum No Computers instead?
"a touch of reverb" *enough reverb to drown the whole southern US* all jokes aside this thing sounds awesome and your review style is really effective and engaging! i hope to see more banana jack synths come out in the future :)
"Hi, I'm Hainbach, good to have you back" sends a pleasant chill down my spine. That's when I know the next 15 minutes of my day will be a good time. Thanks for sharing your adventures in music with us! Just keep being awesome. :)
Oh my. I think my mind was read during the creation of this product, finally something new I can get truly excited about. I've started piecing together CGS modules to make a serge system similar to the likes of the la bestia II, but hopefully with a more 258 like dual oscillator if I can find a kit that I like. I would imagine the two systems together would be quite the experimental playground. Thank you for turning me on to the world of banana cable based synthesizers. Phenomenal video as always.
Such a good job of the review! "There are some oddities with this synthesizer." You could say that. lol I'd love to see how it plays with Serge gear. Loved seeing it with the CL stuff. Well done.
I was sceptical for the comparison with the 303 (mainly because there is no accent) but I must admitt this is by far the most liquid synth I ever heard ; thank you so much for the great demo (and for the 606 jam, which was awesome !) Cheers from france
This is certainly the most organic-sounding acid machine, i`ve ever heard. And the way, it sequences. Hopefully getting to tweak it myself soon (as you said: the entry drug to banana world...). It`s also similar (sound weis) to Softpop from Bastl Instruments, but still sounds a little warmer, crunchier and messier. The character of that sound... Something so appealing about it. I´ve already had a lot of good use to your patreons soundpack of it :) Thank you for uploading! Best Wishes Paap
Ok Hainbach! I was casually eating my lunch enjoying your video jamming to the cool grooves being pumped out by the Liquid Foam. I start to take a drink of water and who should appear on my tablet screen at the same time you mention "no pulse width modulation", Nick Batt! I LOL'd, spitting out the water mid-drink! Not sure how I'm going to explain the water stains on my pants and shirt to my colleague's ... Anyway, as always, a wonderful review and cool synth!
What a great machine, hopefully there will be some nice tracks released with this in it. Also, the 'acid' sounds are great, sometimes the 303-clones are tiring, to be honest. There should be more boxes that can create some nice liquid bass lines with out trying to be a 303.
Ohhhhh, that is nice. You're really tempting me to get one of these, yet it wouldn't fit into my current set up, so I would need to get an entirely separate set up around it.. .I'm just trying to finish my current set up.. which is already well beyond my budget. Stop tempting me with these beautiful pieces! LOL
Yes, I love this weirdness! Though in Euro, that’s part of the workings behind the Turing Machine, Noisering etc, directly accessible in a Xaoc Drezno...and can be achieved with any 3-channel mixer. However, having this as the only sequencing method for a groove box is bold indeed!
Thanks, Hainbach, for another look at something interesting and good. I appreciate Nick Batt's cameo appearance at 6:15. I hope he was as amused as I was.
first thought: I love how this thing looks. second thought: how did I miss this? third thought: is this made by LEP (Laboratorio Elettronico Popolare)? fourth thought: wow, it's made in Italy, and it looks like its got a lot of visual cues from tonylight.
Hainbach! :) thank you for taking your machines to the rave. Sounds Amazing! If we could add a little swing somehow these beats would be truly neck snapping. do you know of an cv/gate sequencers that have swing options like the MPC?
Nice 1 fella, great content. If I might make a suggestion - the synth itself has very rich harmonic content, so when you paired it with the drum machine I woulda preferred clean and dry drum sounds and not saturated/over driven ones. Just my 2 cent's worth, but I think that would better show of the synth.
I imagine the clock input is minijack because it's a conditioned trigger input... Inter-patching devices with banana jacks is generally not a good design because they're single-conductor connections, meaning you can only carry a single voltage rather than a voltage and a ground. This is fine within a device b/c all the inputs all share the same ground, but if one device is running on an AC adapter and the other on batteries or another PSU then you've got a floating ground level and could create unpredictable problems on both devices... noise, static discharge, ground loops, RF pickup, etc. Same reason the breadboard-style patch connectors are uncommon (though that seems to be changing).
Oh my goodness...! Amazing acid-machine on steroids! I just ordered a Lorre Mill Double Knot 2... They should be great friends together... What do you think? Thank you Hainbach: great video as always!
My college instructor had a blippoo box. I really wished I could get ahold of one myself, for awhile--the stuff I saw suggested it'd be a real monster in harsh noise.
Sounds very nice and the seq is very intuitive, but I wonder why there is no pitch out but only gate outs, I would be willing to use the full power of the sequencer for external gear, or am I wrong? It could be very nice to pair this together with a Lorre Mill double knot for the perfect groove!
Jacks are for guitarists... bananas are for scientists! Why would anyone need an "entry drug"???? ;) Sounds pretty good without but with reverb. :-O :-O :-O It's marvellous though... you can take it raving or just stay at home and make experimental sounds.... best of both worlds.
Could you elaborate on why you prefer banana jacks? I've heard you mention that they are superior in a couple videos but I haven't found any information on why
the guy could of protected for negative voltage just with a diode, usually 0-5v mod is because of vactrol (i know dat because datz what i do too), i'm thinking of releasing a mod converter to be able to use anything with anything though... nice unit btw. oh and for 9vdc get raad supplies, great quality and made in uk for 25€
That part when you're explaining the oscillators and you mention that there's no PWM and Nick's smile turns into a frown got me good! :D Very helpful demo. It looks pretty intuitive after you get used to the UI. "Idea machine" -- I like that term, that definitely ups the desirability quotient for me. I recently received a Benjolin from Macumbista and, while it is a fairly simple device, I already can tell that it's going to be a box that I can turn on, wiggle some knobs and lose hours. Have ever had a chance to play one of those? Thoughts?
super cool. no offense to the guy though, and i know it's probably the last thing on the list of important stuff when you're making something like this. but a bit of care with the fit and finish goes further than you might think ( like with the glue and the over tightened screws and stuff) when you're trying to sell something at that kind of price point. but the thing is rad, don't get me wrong.
I agree, that is why I had to point that out. I remember buying a Leploop and one knob would always get stuck on screw. That was constantly annoying. Here the whole operating part, knobs and jacks are of high standard and a joy to use.
Update: Herbs and Stones got back to me and said the woodworking issue is fixed, so there will be no more glue visible in the production units.
Das ist gut das ist gut!
Hi, not related but I was wondering if you have tried to use old tape answering machines? I guess you would have to hack them somehow.. Maybe I should ask Look Mum No Computers instead?
Maybe he can send me a demo unit so i can make a carbon fiber enclosure? 🤔 Lol. Looks like a fun synth, ill add it to my list 😉
@G i just bought a few pieces of gear, so ill probably have to save up a bit before i can get this one. Maybe once you have it, I'll do it. 😎
Hey, what's a bit of boiled horse hoof among friends?
"a touch of reverb"
*enough reverb to drown the whole southern US*

Ha, Alesis Wedge will drown everything! Got I love that thing.
ehehehehe

This little box is so beautiful to look at! Lovely tones too
Man this thing is amazing when u add the reverb it’s magical lol

"Not enough PWM" :( Nick Batt - That was a good laugh!
Damn... Excellent balance of features.. and God, those bananas get more and more appealing each dayz....

Thanks for the demo. I'm going to assemble my DIY version once I get all the parts.

5:00 yes indeed, it wants to go raving! love it!
I'll never get tired of Nick Batt pulse width jokes. Great video.
Nick "Pulse Width" Batt is displeased
What a great machine, hopefully there will be some nice tracks released with this in it. Also, the 'acid' sounds are great, sometimes the 303-clones are tiring, to be honest. There should be more boxes that can create some nice liquid bass lines with out trying to be a 303.

Today I learned a new phrase: "Banana Entry Synthesizer"...
Great video for an interesting instrument. Thanks! *Thumbs up*
I forget that my world is often small and weird 😄
Thank you for the overview. Sounds excellent!
Thanks for the videos I was missing your style Herr Hainback Namaste Asewe Haribol!!
Liquid Foam + TR-606 + abandoned warehouse = Berlin rave party!
1:26 sounds like those SIGGRAPH simulated water sounds. I kind of like it.
Really cool video, I've been using your video as a comparison for my DIY build.
Nice video! I love the Liquid Foam!
Awesome demo as usual
Thanks for the video. This synth looks interesting.
I love the fact that you added the no pulse-width modulation disappointment face dude, im still cracking up... lol
"How does the sequencer work?"
"Oh, it's actually a 3-bit DAC."
God, I love banana gear! You don't get this weird shit in eurorack...
Yes, I love this weirdness! Though in Euro, that’s part of the workings behind the Turing Machine, Noisering etc, directly accessible in a Xaoc Drezno...and can be achieved with any 3-channel mixer. However, having this as the only sequencing method for a groove box is bold indeed!
I love it!! It sounds great.

I hope so too ☺️
Beautiful vid. I am now subscribed to ALL!
Damn, i love the part with the 606!
Great review
Awesome. I felt like I was on heavy drugs less than 3 minutes in. Like good heavy drugs, not the life/home wrecking ones. 10/10 X-perience
“Watch your ears”
Me: Tries to shield my ears by holding a hand in front of the screen as if the noise was a bright light 🤦♀️
first thought: I love how this thing looks.
second thought: how did I miss this?
third thought: is this made by LEP (Laboratorio Elettronico Popolare)?
fourth thought: wow, it's made in Italy, and it looks like its got a lot of visual cues from tonylight.
0:00 *died because of your dulcet voice*
0:15 *died because of this sweet machine*
15:50 *died from the whole thing & regret my Behringer TD-3-SR*
I feel like this will play nicely with the TD-3.
cheers for the "watch your ears" warning, appreciate it as a headphone user :)
Hainbach! :) thank you for taking your machines to the rave. Sounds Amazing! If we could add a little swing somehow these beats would be truly neck snapping. do you know of an cv/gate sequencers that have swing options like the MPC?

Oh definitely! I would love to patch the two together, should be amazing
@@Anaphase Oh yes, please! I love your videos... I saw you're using Meng Qi Brass to interface with euro-world... Lovely!
You would probably love the Leploop Arpopone, Lorre Mill Keyed Mosstone, Lorre Mill Double Knot, Bastl Instruments bitRanger, Olegtron 4060, Malekko Manther.
Such deep, dark, funky tones. #want
well thanks for getting me to dive into banana. Stay safe during these weird times and thank you for doing what you do.
Greetings from Wrocław
The photo of the guy from Sonic State made me laugh. Thank you
IIRC the Ciat Lonbarde voltages are postive-going only but up to 15V (!!!)
Fun. So much fun.
Ace! Would love this for eurorack modular format!
My college instructor had a blippoo box.
I really wished I could get ahold of one myself, for awhile--the stuff I saw suggested it'd be a real monster in harsh noise.
Lovely and inspirering ✌ ☺ Please do the Sherman Filterbank! 💚
Interesting video.

Interesting idea for sure!
at 2:55 ..... what a soundtrack for an eerie scifi
Addictive video... Again... I don't get the thing with banana cables, what is the purpose of using those instead of Jack's?
ACID!!!!! OH i want one!!
herbs---stones.com/ or www.patch-point.com/preorder/liquid-foam-1
Jacks are for guitarists... bananas are for scientists! Why would anyone need an "entry drug"???? ;)
Sounds pretty good without but with reverb. :-O :-O :-O
It's marvellous though... you can take it raving or just stay at home and make experimental sounds.... best of both worlds.
:D I just ordered a PCB and Panel kit from him! :D
in for the rave.
Thanks for review! Definitely going to buy as a first synth) but I am wondering if it works with external soundcard Focusrite 8i6?
Could you elaborate on why you prefer banana jacks? I've heard you mention that they are superior in a couple videos but I haven't found any information on why
I think just because they’re sturdier
the guy could of protected for negative voltage just with a diode, usually 0-5v mod is because of vactrol (i know dat because datz what i do too), i'm thinking of releasing a mod converter to be able to use anything with anything though... nice unit btw. oh and for 9vdc get raad supplies, great quality and made in uk for 25€

Hi,is there a way to achieve that type of liquid sound in let’s say vcv rack?
what be that little box off to the left taking in the two dictaphones around the three minute mark?
Rad synth
Dear Hainbach did you know about connecting Liquid Foam and Tetrax any behaviour??
Haven’t don’t it, seems like fun!
@@Hainbach haha yeah of course but I mean any conflicts with voltages
How would you “safely” connect this to the cocoquantus 2?
I feel you paused slightly too long after the phrase "the perfect banana entry...." :)
William Burnett so?
Good point, I've not slept since
That sounds like what dj premier used in that jeru beat but he used a sample and it was the 90s
super cool. no offense to the guy though, and i know it's probably the last thing on the list of important stuff when you're making something like this. but a bit of care with the fit and finish goes further than you might think ( like with the glue and the over tightened screws and stuff) when you're trying to sell something at that kind of price point. but the thing is rad, don't get me wrong.
I agree, that is why I had to point that out. I remember buying a Leploop and one knob would always get stuck on screw. That was constantly annoying. Here the whole operating part, knobs and jacks are of high standard and a joy to use.
Are there any other alternatives to budget banana synths ?
Great video, as always
MiRack is great on iOS if you want to learn modular generally. Apple not Banana though :)
That was a good one!
I don't really know of any, everything else is priced higher.
What is negative voltage? Is it used for lower octaves?
Hi hainbach, very interesting but my question is, what do you do with the tapes? Are they for distortion?
They play piano loops, that particular track is 7 minutes but I only showed the beginning.
I want that thing
Reminds me of "Alles Ist Gut " by DAF.
I love DAF
Can someone explain how you actually get notes into the sequencer?
Holy smokes.....
herbs and stoned is cool reminds me of a bucula
4:30 Rollin and Scratchin?
Not enough
Hainbach, was that regular or antibacterial foam being dispensed from this unit? Great sounds !!!
Sounds like the slingshot guy but more rave sounds
💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
