SmplTrek - A new sampler has arrived

SmplTrek is a new portable sampler/ song writing instrument, made by Sonicware. I like it. It's a little bit technical to get into, but anyone can learn.

Aside from the great review of a beautiful new little box from SonicWare, I have to say True Cuckoo is one of the if not the most positivity driven channels on the YouTube. Good job man! Never stop!

[SONICWARE]

Thank you sooo much for showing us your fantastic workflow for the SmplTrek! 😍😍😍

This is the first video where I've realised i'm in the meta-future.

We've got a dude, with his own style, and his own mannerisms, teaching us about a seemingly obscure little device from halfway across the globe in a highly professional and aesthetically pleasing manner.

I can't put my finger on this, but there's just something about it that is just on another level. Maybe it's the composition work of the camera, the beautiful fashion of our presenter or the, post processing of the audio, maybe it's the next level creative choices like the mirror? But this is like... melding the barrier between a high production studio job and one dude in his room doing his thing.

There's an element of cyberpunk here. When I envision us in a 100 years, in our corporate apartments eating our corporate food and watching videos on our corporate eye implants - it'll be these videos, the embodiment of creativity, the pinnacle of the human spirit (to create, and share and, enlighten) that will drive us through.

I don't really think I got my point through on this one, but this is not only art, and a documentary, and a review... it's something else.

and it's good.

Came for the hardware, stayed for the vibes

[SwiftDreamer]

This is the only video I've seen so far that really made me want a sampletrek

[jboulderct]

I've been dying for this video....and for my SmplTrek to arrive! Thanks Cuckoo. You are a treasure!

[stephanbuth]

I love that fully analog PiP feature made with a makeup mirror .😊 Great channel!

[DetroitMicroSound]

I play my XFM and 8bw just about every day, still, since they came out. So happy to see you love the SmplTrek. Sonicware deserves some big fans! Can't wait to see what you think of the Lofi-12

[Khordmaster]

LOVE the idea of a quarter inch mount on the bottom. That's incredible and I think more companies could benefit from this addition.

HATE USB micro in 2022 😭😭😭😭😭

As always, awesome video!

[MidlifeSynthesist]

I always love how relaxing and ASMR like your videos are❤️, just pure flow that I could listen to for hours, ACE🙌🏻

[pugnation]

ahh, thank you for actually showing what to do with the little device instead of just how to do it in all the other reviews I have been watching so far. Great video!
The SmplTrek is such a cute little box, and reminds me of a Tricorder from Star Trek TOS. I'm very happy that I received mine this week, and pretty sure that it's going to become much better still in future firmware iterations, though it's really usable right now also. Just need to step up my Sample collecting.

I took a big gamble and backed this. I was pretty surprised when mine actually showed up yesterday. I was immediately stuck by the GameboyMaxx form factor too. I like the way it feels in my hands. Pretty excited by it. Always a treat to watch you try out a new gadget!

[dentReviews]

i love watching other musicians create music in their own ways. it's inspiring. i wish there were more purpose driven recording devices.

[gabworm]

you have so much calm talking that I almost got sleeping watching this <3
amazing video

[eskildthomsen]

I don't know how you are in life. But your vibe just made my day. Hope you're doing good. Keep creating king <3

[dehaitch]

Your passion is amazing, you are my favourite synthtuber and people like you really show how much joy can be had through these amazing devices. You introduced me to Sonicware with your 8Bit Warps video and I agree, they've really come a long way and made something special here (again).

This video was also something special, thanks dude. You put a big smile on my face :)

[antonblam]

Showing your face through a mirror is one of the coolest filming tricks ever

[jar]

Bro this is so cool, and I really enjoyed what you created. I appreciate you and YouTube's algorithm for showing me this.

[sharonraizor]

I have no idea why this came up in my feed, as I am not a musician, but while watching I said to myself several times, "I really like this guy". Consider me subscribed, to watch videos of you speaking of things I know nothing about.

[evans_the_bard]

This was absolutely great!!! Also, my 1st time seeing you and I have to say I'm hooked! I can't wait to watch all of your other content! Thank you
