Dreadbox Murmux III "Adept" : Almost Perfect?

video upload by Tim Shoebridge

"Here finally is a video I started to plan and record almost three months ago. My initial idea was a short video featuring some nice ambient music and a voice-over by me describing my most favourite features of the Murmux Adept. 15-20 minutes should do the trick.

But the more I thought about what to say, the more I realised that I needed to properly pay my respects to the Murmux, to describe all its features and what it can do. So that's what I have done, and the result is an epic movie-length video of over 90 minutes!

I haven't attempted to trim the content, in fact I've added extra demo tracks and hands-on feature demonstrations. My conclusions and many ramblings at the end of the video are almost 20 minutes in length! Apologies for that.

So let's be clear, this is not a video for the casual viewer or for the feint hearted. It is certainly not for the typical YouTube browsing public with an attention span of under 8 minutes. It's a detailed and thorough look at this very special instrument because, with only 300 ever being made and a hefty price tag, I'm guessing that not too many people are going to have the opportunity to see one let alone play or own one.

So please, find a comfy armchair, a snack and a small glass of your favourite beverage, and most importantly find some quality quiet time and some good headphones or earbuds, because we are about to immerse ourselves in something wonderful, the Dreadbox Murmux "Adept" ❤
