Great Synth Mysteries Ep. 5: The RAREST SYNTH I Just Found Out About (mini)

video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

Note it's Paula Maddox of course. Noir Et Blanc does mention it as the video progresses.

"So those of you who follow me KNOW I LOVE the 002, while rare, this details the reason why even the Modal 002 isn't the rarest in the 00 line. Anyways, I did this video more for me than anyone else, but I think I can do 'mini' mysteries more often."

Play CHORDS with the Moog Subharmonicon - A HOW TO lol

Noir Et Blanc Vie

"I like the Subharmonicon to make many notes, not just one. Here's how I do it! I honestly don't think I'm great at showing musicians how to make music, but people kept asking, so Noir's here's with a how to, it may help wrap your head around harmony on this lovely instrument. If it helps great, if not, meh haha."

SYNTH VS SYNTH -- Modal Skulpt or Modal Craft 2.0?

Noir Et Blanc Vie

"First off this is NOT a review, this is a chronicle of my time owning both. I've owned the Skulpt and Craft 2.0 for about a year. Honestly I don't think I could have made this review without having to go through my normal routine with them. So yeah, it took like a year, which did I pick up when I was going to the beach, which one did I enjoy regardless of the shortcoming. Please see the section "from Noir the editor" about some things you'll need to use these with an iPad.

I want to make this clear, it takes time to bring a genuine personal experience and put it into words. So yeah, thank you for your patience."

ONE MINUTE SYNTH REVIEW!!! Ep. 19 Arturia Microfreak (Halloween Special)

Published on Nov 5, 2019 Noir Et Blanc Vie

**ALL MUSIC IN THIS REVIEW WAS CREATED ON THE ARTURIA MICROFREAK*


Hey guys and gals, so ONCE AGAIN better late than never am I right? LOL. I said last year that UNO would be the last episode of OMSR...but, I guess not. Sooooo...Love you all.

NOW...to my thoughts. You're probably going to see the score and wonder, "WHY NOIR, WHY?" Please understand that I review the synth I buy, and last year the same thing happened...I got a copy that kinda was not perfect, but quality control is part of the consumer experience...AS I SAID IN MY SUBJECTIVE OPINION AS A PLAYER. The Microfreak isn't exactly what I wanted for my use case, and this will probably only upset fanboys and fangirls, but I'm not here to read a user manual objectively. You can do that on your own time...How did the Microfreak make me feel. Does the Microfreak inspire, AB-SO-LUT-LY. Is it for me, like 100% me...I guess you'll see in the video. Regardless, I'm not wrong as each person's experience is unique, and this was mine, if you think differently about subjective opinions, well k LOL.

ONE MINUTE SYNTH REVIEW!!! Ep. 22 IK Multimedia Uno Synth Pro Desktop (Halloween Special)

video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand Subjective Opinions may be excused lol ALL music in this video is 100% IK MULTIMEDIA UNO SYNTH PRO

TLDR, it takes me quite a while to review anything, often to grasp the value of an instrument it takes me months and sometimes a year to see where it fits, so yeah, that's my reviewing strategy, it's music, it's emotion, so if a synth doesn't give me a story to tell and a reason to review it I won't...Fortunately, the Uno Synth Pro really is a transformative instrument, while on the surface it may seem like a simple paraphonic synthesizer, it's value is underrated when you look at the competition."

ONE MINUTE SYNTH REVIEW!!! Ep. 20 Novation Mininova (Halloween Special)

Noir Et Blanc Vie

"*Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol*
*ALL music in this video is 100% Novation Mininova*

DON'T WORRY I'LL NEVER DO AN EPISODE IN BLACK AND WHITE AGAIN lol

Thank you to Jefferson Black, an amazing actor, impressionist and a nice guy!

TLDR: Back in 2010's I remember always looking at the Mininova, but for some reason I was just not intrigued enough to pick one up. I disliked the mini-keys, the Program Grid, everything made me see this as just another Microkorg wannabe...well, it's not, it's a whole lot more. If the polyphony isn't enough for you the Mininova is like a blank canvas type synth, it's a little plastic sounding, but not too plastic, it's menu system isn't terrible, it's a great value, but is it for me..........well, no, duh. I don't need another synth to save my life, but IF this were 2012 again I'd say yes to the Mininova.

"**ALL MUSIC IN REVIEW (Except drums) CREATE ON THE IK UNO**

Hey guys and gals, so better late than never am I right? LOL. So I finally got my hands on the IK Multimedia Uno. I personally wanted to try it our for quite a while, IK has such a long history making great software that I had to see what they’d bring to the hardware market. I bought this at Guitar Center myself so don’t worry, this isn’t sponsored and maybe it shows in my review, but that’s what I like doing. Anyways, enjoy the haunting and FINAL episode of OMSR. Love you all :)"
