LOL, almost every electronic instrument fruitcake on YT in one video. This is some messed up content, great stuff, cheers mate!
Stuff I'm using: Umm right now, well there's a Volca Drum, a Micro Freak, an ADX-1, a Pulse, a Blofeld, a UNO Drum, KeyStep/Beatstep Pro/Keystep Pro (one of each), a Circuit, a LiveTrak L-12 and this nonsense: The Brief-case as it was about a bit over a year ago (the the complete ridiculous GAS monster collection here)and here

I don't get it. I guess that is what passes for 'fun '.

I wasn't always this serious ;)

But do you have a Panasonic 18v cordless rotary hammer drill with a 600mm masonry bit? I can lend you one if you don't :lol:

Oh yeah, this video actually made me want to get a Seaboard.

Even as a child I would have known that Guy in the video is an idiot.

The YT had that ' hey look at me and my friends, we are acting crazy '

I suppose that is what some call entertainment and collecting views on YT.

I prefer interesting music using Roli.

I wonder how he'd feel if someone attacked his DIY modular with an assortment of tools? :roll:

Eh, that guy's trademark is to do what comes across as mentally impaired with synths so I'm guessing that Roli knew that he'd wasn't going to use it a way that was normally done. He made a flame powered pipe organ after all (I remember seeing someone do something similar at an experimental music meet in Brisbane about 16yrs ago, but they actually played the organ pipes with a real flamethrower, I'm still wondering how they got permission to use it although there was a fire engine on hand which I stood next to during the performance, just in case :shock: ).
