Now I was going to ask : what is unjust? LOL Let me know if you can pinpoint it 😁

Thanks a lot. We are over 1yr later and I'm still enjoying the Minitaur. My main gripe still stands (limited reach) but I am going to try an octave pedal someday (when I have the budget and time) to overcome that. The lack of tone shape options is somewhat compensated by adding 2 pedals to my setup. One is a cheap TubeMP Studio V3, which I overdrive like mad if I want this crunchy tone (check my last video where you can hear it in action ua-cam.com/video/6rYPBLXq1h4/v-deo.html) The other one is the Deco V2, which can 'also' add a lovely stereo chorus. (and saturation) I'm not trying to convince you into buying one btw. Buy only what you need and often it's not more gear, but more time behind the knobs :) But for the 'one trick pony' part, yes it is, and yes I still use it daily.

@@tricks-and-tips Thx I'll check the new vid out. For that crunchy overdrive sometimes I'll loop in an Ibanez Tube Screamer pedal (rolled back mostly). I'll probably end up grabbing the Minitaur because it just sounds so good, and it's reassuring to know that you still held on to it all this time after questioning whether to sell it or not.

@@filmismorefun Yeah, anything that modulates the sound is a welcome addition to get more variation out of the Minitaur. But all in all, it's deep sub tones are something special and the reason why I still have it.

Thanks a ton! Yeah, I have to remind myself I don't need more gear ;P

@@tricks-and-tips That is destined to fail as we all know as synth heads, but you can try for sure hahaha. Greetings, enjoy the heat of summer right now and the music.

@@rayderrich I know. Always something new on the horizon..... Thanks, you too!

Thank you!

The Minitaur?

@@tricks-and-tips yes)

@@durmstrang.techno Yeah man. It's such a great bass synth. And now that I have the Tube MP Studio 3 and Deco V2, I can choose to add some more 'gritt' to it and get more sonic variations out of it. Especially the tube saturation of the Tube MP is absolutely lovely paired with the Minitaur. I'm overdriving it super hard here which adds this nice crunch to it and adds some compression to tame the beast a bit.

@@tricks-and-tips ahahah your are an ambassador if my gas

@@durmstrang.techno yeah. Get it all and then you will finally be able to make the music you want to make 🤪 UA-cam can be quite misleading because you see other people make music and it’s easy to think that the gear is what enables them to do that. Where in reality they are both talented and have spent years working on their craft.

Thanks!!! Have a ton at fun. We will be in Sweden right after that

@@tricks-and-tips Many thanks Peter, Please let me know where you are in Sweden. Would live to see you and have a chat if you do not mind.

@@thelningwe’ll be at camping Tiveden

Thanks RDB!!!!!

Thanks a ton!

The commentary is really enjoyable. Like going on this journey with you.

Thanks man! UA-cam sometimes does this indeed :)

@@CaidicusProductions Thank you!

Yeah, something special happened there. The Deco V2 can give that when you hit the sweet spot. Thanks for the reminder btw, I have to try this combo again. Usually I don't run the peak through it, because it already has nice saturation in itself, but when you push multiple instruments through the Deco, it can get either completely out of hand, or get you somewhere beautiful

@@tricks-and-tips I'm thinking about this pedal to process the output of the Digitone that plays my setup synth parts, but I guess it could be weird with all 4 parts running different instruments from sub bass to pads and rythmical bleeps and boops, all inside one single Deco... but I love its sound and tweakability

@@xdvn1290 Yeah, that can become either very good or a complete mess. I tried running everything through an Analog Heat 2 when I was testing it and it was nice but got out of hand quickly and the AH2 has this 'ploink' sound on the kick, which I did not like. ua-cam.com/video/INvPWNd4thU/v-deo.html In hindsight I should have kept it, but yeah, it's gone now (and gone up in price waaaaaaay too much for me) I now understand what I 'should' do with it better. I always assumed the DT has good saturation (drive) on its own, or am I wrong?

Thanks. Yeah, I tried that, but it’s not really pleasing what happens then. I have added the DecoV2 and that saturation does a good job.

Hahahaha, hold on for dear life 😂 I’m quite sure I’ll sell it whenever I have no need for it anymore. But right now I’m still enjoying it a lot. Added some pedals to the mix and recently somebody suggested adding an analog octave pedal. Which sounded like a great idea, so that might be my next one.

@@tricks-and-tips I preordered the Taurus 3 and recently bought a Minitaur just because I suspect that they are going to discontinue it. You might have been happier with the Sirin. The Minitaur might pair much better with the K2 since they are both HzV. Just get a Minimoog and be done searching haha.

@@Rhythmicons Hahahahahahahahahaha. I'll stick with the Minitaur for now :) Budget is gone.

Thank you!

Thanks! I think the Subsequent is more easy to use because it has a screen and a keyboard :) So you don't need anything else, maybe a reverb + delay pedal. For live situations I would probably never use the Minitaur because you can't see on what patch it is. (unless you add some midi device that can read out the patch number) And I would still have to drag a midi keyboard around to play it. Maybe (if size is an issue) the Sub25 is a good middle ground. Still the nice 3 oscillator bass sound, but not as heavy and big as the 37 :)

haha, mine too!!! (toes)

Thanks a lot. I have a feeling mine were too 😎

Thanks a ton man! Really appreciate the gift. Means a lot to me!

Thanks Tony. All I can say is that I am having a ton of fun in the process :)

Thanks. That is quite clever. :) Have to dig into those.

Thanks a lot, hook me up if you have questions!

@@tricks-and-tips very kind of you - thanks! :)

Thank you!!!!

Thanks a lot. Yeah, the Subsequent is a beast with very big dynamic range and I wish they had added some kind of compensation for that. The only hardware solution I can think off is a compressor. But not every compressor handles the immense frequency range very well (some are bad for bass for example), so my solution is to fix this in post. Which means I record everything multitrack into the DAW where I do my mixing, EQ and compression. I know, some would call it 'cheating', but for me the whole DAWLess idea is about the creative process. Not the production part. So I have a (digital) compressor on my Subsequent 37 track to tame it a little. It's not a 100% perfect solution , because I also use hardware FX pedals and if multiple synths are sent through one pedal, you lose the ability to compress the Subsequent 37 on its own. But it's not about 100% perfection for me, so I don't care. My final 'trick' is to use dynamic EQ in my DAW. So I make sure some tracks are pushing some frequencies down on other (group of) tracks. In my DAW template, I have 4 groups. 1. Drums 2. Bass 3. Music without bass 4. 2 + 3 combined (music without drums) So the drums signal is used to duck frequencies on group 4 and the bass signal is used to duck frequencies on group 3. This way I try to have a full sound while (hopefully) removing too much buildup in certain frequencies. It's not perfect, but works well for me and it combines the power of mixing in the DAW with the fun of creating music with hardware, so I like it like this. Hope that made sense :)

@@tricks-and-tips yes, thank you!!

@@JH-te1ct No problem. Hook me up if you have more questions!

Thank you 🙏🏻 appreciate it 😄

Thanks Rich, good to hear!

Thanks, it will come (time.....)

Thnx!

Yeah, I agree. I'm very surprised too.

Yeah, I’m impressed 😀

Nice 😊😊😊

Very good 👍🏽 love this keyboard

@@marcusholder495 Thanks. Me too!

Many thanks Jeroen. Which makes me wonder, do you also have a lot of unfinished projects?

@@tricks-and-tips My pleasure. Right now I don't have many unfinished projects

@@JeroenHega That is nice!

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

Good question! I think the Peak can get close enough if you can only get one synth. It's not 'the same' sound, but in a mix most probably won't notice. I think I will do a comparison when I have the time. It's interesting to hear the differences.

@@tricks-and-tips that would be awesome

Lol yeah. Actually it’s kind of the same with my hardware setup with me!

Thanks Paul! If you have specific questions, just hook me up. I don't know everything, but I know how I like to use the 707 :)

@@tricks-and-tips Cool thanks.

Nicely put!

Thanks HJ! Sometimes it just works :) Even after 9 tries this can happen!

Thank you Tony!!! I liked this one too :)

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it 🙏🏻

Maybe I shouldn’t watch so many UA-cam videos.

Lol. I’m doing a living room renovation as we speak. Since last August… Almost done fortunately. And yeah, YT is quite addicting.

Thanks, yeah, totally agreed!

Nice work

Thanks! Never heard of it so far, but I will check it out!

Yeah, Although I will never use it myself, it’s a great option to have in the toolkit. Just wish it was stereo to be able to route my stage piano through it. Oh and wait, an extra drive circuit would make it perfect 🤩

Thank you. I bought the MPC Live 2 to see if it could add something to my setup, but I returned it because it had a lot of overlap with the 707 and for what I use it for (live jamming) the 707 is more capable. For producing music, I would go for the MPC without hesitation. But I have my DAW for that. Where the 707 adds the most value (for me) is live jamming. Performing. I just finished another jam and man, it's so much fun, I can't see any other box replacing it anytime soon. So it depends on your need. If you want to produce full tracks : not in a long way, the MPC is much better. If you want to perform / jam : YES, the 707 was made for that!

@@tricks-and-tips settled - il have both lol 😝

@@mickydizzal1Nice 😊

Thanks man. Yeah, it most certainly does. And I still have it because of that!

Thanks a ton. I made it for the review :)

Yeah, I thought about that, but my ambition was more than I could chew. I wanted to make an animation, but that proved to be too much work and then I got tired of it and skipped the idea. But I'll keep it in mind for my next video. I might expand the setup a bit more, so there is a good reason to do a follow up :)

Thanks a ton!

Bedankt 😊

Thnxxx

Thanks! Yeah, I want to incorporate this more often in my jams.

Thank you!!!’
