Today we're gonna see if the stylophone can play BASS! This instrument barely has any low-end as is, but let's put it through some effects, and see what we can do! Honestly? I think it kind of works, lol.

Mission Dolores Park.

Today we’re putting the harpejji to the test to see if this keyboard guitar can play funk!

Today we’re checking out the thunder tube, one of the weirdest percussion instruments out there! If you give it a shake around, this drum creates a deep rumble that sounds like a gong! Or. Well. Thunder!

Hi friends! #GDC is a week away, so I just want to remind any #gameaudio people, that we've got a little server for those who are at the event, and want to keep up with things! Can't wait to see you at the show! discord.gg/sPEPBZfzjK

Today we're running a stylophone through a guitar amp, and seeing what happens! Honestly? The results are pretty cool, and gives the instrument a whole new vibe, and lots of new options!

Today we’re seeing if the harpejji can answer an age-old question: “Does it DJENT?!”

Image of a stylophone's waveform I recorded. Kind of cool looking.

Today we're taking a look at the stylophone, a tiny synthesizer you play with a pen! Originally released in the late 1960s, this pocket-sized synth creates tones when the stylus touches its metal keyboard, which gives it its electrifying sound!

Thank you very much for 4000!

Today we’re taking a look at two instruments that can sound just like a guitar, but aren’t! The harpejji and the bass taishogoto are both string instruments with keyboard-style layouts, but they come from completely different ideas and musical traditions!

Today we’re taking a look at a chromatic harp from Korea! This is the hanago, a modern lyre-style harp that lets you play fully chromatic notes, unlike traditional harps or lyres! Even cooler, you can plug it into an amp just like a guitar, giving it a super sick modern sound!

Did you know they wrote an OFFICIAL Harpejji book?! Well. Kinda. It’s a “quick-start guide” that gives information on the Harpejji, including scales, chords, and some really cool concepts that make it feel totally different from guitar, bass, or other keyboard instruments!

Today we’re turning chords into synth-like arps on the harpejji, the 24-string keyboard guitar and bass! I found out that if you route a harpejji that’s got the right effects on it, through a rhythmic gate plugin, you can make arpeggiator-like effects, as if the harpejji was a synthesizer!

Today we're taking a look at the electric taishogoto! You play keyboard in your left hand, and strum like a guitar in the right! Previously, I've talked about the bass taishogoto, and the original acoustic taishogoto, but this is the electric soprano model!

Today we're taking a look at the "pianoid." The company apparently takes the chassis of broke, and irreparable pianos, and repurposes them, making them digital, so the pianos can last longer, and have a life, instead of being tossed into the junk yard!

Hi everyone! #GDC is a month away, and I'd like to remind any and all #gameaudio friends, that we have a Discord server for those attending the event, that allows people to touch base, and connect! discord.gg/sPEPBZfzjK

Today we're going over tone, and EQing the harpejji!

Today I’m taking a look at the Pocket Scion! It’s a portable synthesizer that allows you to make music out of mushrooms! Seriously! I’m not sure on all the specifics, but it reads “bio feedback data,” from the mushrooms, and generates tones from it! It’s music any ‘fun gi’ can enjoy!

Today we're taking a look at the Stylophone Voice! An upcoming portable synthesizer and sampler that has a built-in microphone, which allows you to sample your voice, and twist up your sound! All using the stylophone's iconic pen! It's a really cool portable piece of music gear!

Today we're taking a look at how to make distorted leads sound awesome on the harpejji! #guitar

Do I know any accordionists who'd be up for a little chat about some of the more technical aspects of their instrument?

Today we're taking a look at the Circle Guitar! It's a guitar with a motor in it that strums itself!

Today we're taking a look at the Banan-a-Synth! A currently in-development synthesizer that runs on... bananas! Kinda like those old potato clocks you could make in school! Once this thing is set up, you can play music with real, edible bananas! It's RIPE for possibilities!

Today I'm touching on a tricky subject! Distortion on the harpejji! I've always found it a little difficult!

My latest short is at the TAHORNG booth at NAMM!

Little personal accomplishment. 500k in a month.

Today I'm taking a look at a "windkey"! It's an electronic melodica, that allows you to control your synths and virtual instruments with your breath!

Today we’re taking a look at the “modular flute”! A recently kickstarted flute that’s basically musical instrument lego! You can change the parts out, and customize it, to give the flute different timbres and tones! But is this flute fantastic, or is playing it like stepping on a lego?!

Today we're taking a look at amping the harpejji! The 24-string keyboard guitar and bass! Previously I've mostly played the harpejji clean, without effects, just to show different examples of the instrument, but that's hardly how I play it normally! You can get an entire world of sounds out!

Hi friends, just letting you know, I'll be floating around The NAMM Show in Anaheim next weekend, looking at all the newest and coolest music stuff! Would be happy to say hi to anyone else who might be there!

Today we're taking a look at a reed organ! An electric powered piano that pumps AIR through it! It's got the sound of an accordion, or a melodica! But is this keyboard as cool as a cool breeze, or is it just full of hot air?!

Last year, I contributed to a kickstarter for an instrument called a "modular flute"! And it arrived today! It's a flute with over 20 different combinations and sounds! Gonna be talking about it real soon!

Today we're taking a look at adding REVERB to the harpejji! The 24-string keyboard guitar and bass! Over the next few videos, we'll be covering putting the harpejji through different effects. Right now we're starting with the basics!

G'day, mate! Today we're taking a look at the didgeridoo! But not JUST any didgeridoo! A SPIRAL version! Is this instrument twisted, or totally tubular?

Hey everyone, I had the pleasure of recording didgeridoo for my good buddy @zakkujo.bsky.social on this track! Check it out if you can! youtu.be/uV_dCgk_dT0?...

Today we're taking a look at the hyoshigi! Japanese woodblocks!

Today I'm boldly asking the question: can you play DRUMS on the harpejji?!... Well. Yeah. Kinda. Feel free to take a look. I dunno.

Well hello there.

Today we’re taking a look at a ratchet! It’s a music instrument that also works as the perfect little noisemaker to ring in the New Year! Happy New Year, everyone! I hope next year gives you only the very best!

Well I guess that's a sign to keep doing this stuff.

Cool.

Can you play BASS on the harpejji?!

A bit late in the evening, but Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to everyone! 😁

This is a vibraslap. And it's an instrument that totally slaps.

It's fascinating being the sole source an AI is summarizing from. SURE HOPE I'M RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING. 👀

You can do a lot of cool things on the harpejji, but some people have asked me: can you strum? Strum like a guitar? And the answer is yep! It's kind of cool, and works a bit different from how you might expect, but soon you'll be strumming like any pro guitarist!

Today I'm taking a look at a "magic whistle." At least 50% of that name is accurate.

Let's learn the harpejji together! Today we're wrapping up the basics of chords!

Today we're taking a look at the piano xylophone from Kawai! A pretty peculiar instrument!
