Ah that one! I thought you were talking about the Korg Gadget App!
It does sound like fun

Ok good. Yes. I am not crazy then. No, not that app (though that would have been a fine gift too).
Was it this?

Yes! I couldn’t find it online yesterday. Ah I see its called little bits.
Korg Littlebits aint a new product they came out 7 years ago, bit of a gimmick really.
You’d get idiots like Bobeats doing the car saleman thing anything for views cracking on their good, but when he switched the camera off i bet he never used them.
I got the Korg Little Bits thing on a steep discount from a closing Radio Shack and it’s in a drawer somewhere, now XD
I agree with this wholeheartedly. Ive ranted at length to @relic; about that guy over the last year, on multiple occasions. He seems so nice it’s hard to talk shit but, seriously though, I can’t stand the way he presents himself in his videos. They’re so awful it’s almost like I can’t look away. The craziest thing about it is he’s has absolutely MASSIVE success over the last couple of years. That studio he built, with his YouTube money, good lord. I just don’t know what to say.
But to his advantage you have the asmr effect, the consistency of his brand and style and more importantly you don’t need to be a synth geek to understand his videos, they are good for entry level and when they show something more advanced they take the viewer there instead of dropping something they wouldn’t get. Unfortunately for all of us, YouTube monetisation means that videos are getting longer while I would really like short, to the pint videos.
He’s played the game really well tbh. Compare him and Nick Bates, Nick hey jjust better and more knowledgeable but more technical and focused, sometimes I struggle following him, BoBeats is less of a teacher and more of a buddy, without being annoying. Both successful but different styles.
I use the “don’t recommend this channel” button on youtube a lot. Usually for all the get rich quick channels that are now being recommended to me. Maybe I should just watch them all. Do you have any idea how many synths I could buy if just one of them worked?
I’ve basically just abandoned YouTube as far as gear reviews…I don’t know the names and faces and frankly I’m perfectly capable of picking new gear for myself w/o the opinion of someone who jumped into they synth hobby only 2-3 years ago.

Bobeats used to annoy me with his Eurorack videos when he first got into Eurorack, lots of his information was wrong, however in his new videos he has a huge rack, which was what i was telling him to get to begin with but he was fanning about with these small starter cases which just cost you more money in the long run.
MylerMelodies, the amount of modules he reviews and claims are brilliant then you never see them in his rack ever again, i just look at him and think that Eurorack in a cardboard box he was flaunting for sometime, total fire hazard.
and Molton Music, he doesn’t like taking any advice.
Sorry am i being grumpy
Bob Eats is pretty annoying.

Bo didn’t seem to care for being told the 6U RackBrute could hold 89hp and not the 88hp Arturia says, and retorted that 88 is the official from Arturia. Like, MFer, I own one and filled it with 89hp and so have others… XD

The explorer looks nice, in a different world, a world where I have more time, I would give it a 2nd opportunity. Or maybe not as I remember how much I struggled with the odd modulation values…
I’m in some FB group for synths/gear where he is an admin. I made some off hand joke about how it “must be a slow news day” because the only news on any gear sites was the stupid Elektron battery handle. He seriously went and counted all the people who reviewed it to tell me I was wrong. I wasn’t even making fun of him or anyone else, literally just commenting on the situation, but he took it as this huge slight and made several replies trying to get my attention so I’d know I was wrong. It was a really weird interaction.

Wanker.
Oh yeah, I was just going to comment on that. I think I might buy it for myself at the end of the year. Just going to wait for a loopop video or something so I can see how it works before I buy it. I’m interested, but the Explorer has half the knobs of the ASM desktop module, so IDK how the OS or whatever is going to be laid out to accommodate that. But if I got this thing I don’t think I would look at the Opsix or Modwave anymore, and both of those have been… I wouldn’t say particularly tempting, but I keep getting curious.
Looks like UDO will have a new synth at superbooth.
Im looking forward to seeing/hearing the new Dreadbox analog 6 voice Nymthes, im hoping its a kinda 6 voice typhon but im probably wrong.
