Nice improv at the end! Question though: I love the way your keyboards are positioned on the stand. I have the Matriarch & Rev2 myself but found it to be too deep for most stands. Which stand do you have there (if i may ask)?
Nice jam at the end. Very Bladeunner-y. Interesting you opted to play that lead patch on OB when you have Deckart's Dream:) I agree with your list of top gear (for the most part, I haven't tried Polyend compressor).
Miles Away Bloom Away ???? Wow ???? Amazing ❤ Happy New Year ???????????????????? Wishing you a Fantastic, Happy and Healthy 2025 ???????????? Looking forward to the new music ???????? ???? ????
Have you checked out the MP MIDI Controller yet? It has a touchscreen, infinite pots and daw integration with plugins!????
I have a weirdly specific question :). Some time back I ran an unspectacular SH101 style bass patch I created on a Roland SH-4d (which is ZencCore, meaning humdrum by default) through the compressor of the MercuryX. I was like holy crap, I don't get results like that through any of my software based compressors, even though digital it just added magic sauce, it transformed the sound. After that experience I was wondering what it would sound like through the Polyend Press. Is it like that? Magic sauce on anything you want punch on? Or is the real value just in the tactile knobs, etc. Thanks for any opinions you can share Miles
AS IT TURNS OUT, I can confirm that you are a WISE [synth] MAN. Bless you and best wishes exploring the SUPER GEMINI….WOW! What a beautiful sounding synth.
After 2 years of remaining a poor man, I've gone from SUPER GEMINI (first pick), 3rd Wave Desktop (with ROLI RISE 2), to…..SUMMIT + ROLI RISE 2. SUMMIT is the best VALUE on the market (for a poor man). And I refer to SUMMIT on REVERB, MINTY and price tap of $1500. THAT is a slam dunk!!
BLOOM is great stuff.
You know the best thing about CHASE BLISS pedals? The people at CHASE BLISS are truly fine and wonderful folks.
I love my little XD.
Happy New Year.
PS I have a FAVOR to ask: I don't know IF you ever do preset packs, but could you kindly sample the SOLAR 42 a bit and make a preset pack for Decent or Kontakt? I (and likely thousands of others) will buy it. Thank you.

Great job explaining what the first pedal actually does and why it's so great. I watched it three times to make sure I didnt miss anything and sure enough, I didn't.
My favorite purchases of 2024 were the Oberheim TEO-5 and the Erica Synths Nightverb. The piece of gear that stayed the shortest time before being returned was the Behringer UB-Xa. Stayed less than 24 hours.
Happy Christmas.
You won’t regret the super Gemini. I have one. I sold a Prophet 10 for it. I’m serious. It’s that good.
That jam at the end was beautiful… have a great vacation…
It's pronounced "meh-ra-key"
Hey man I’m looking to buy a teo5 this year and we live pretty close to each other! What are you selling it for?
I bought myself GForce OB-E and it sounds phenomenal. Their hard work really paid off.
Thanks so much! ????????????????????????????
Teo-5 ftw ! You really don't need the teo-5 if you are getting the udo and already have a ob8x. I stopped dealing with the B fan base for a number of reasons , best not even acknowledge the company exists, you can’t win on either side of the argument as a YouTuber or in forums.
Not sure of this is feasible but would love to watch a live stream of you doing an ambient jam
TEO-5 is a great synth, but as with Take 5 I wish they had done a desktop instead. Also neither will ever get polychain, MPE response, or bi-timbrality which is an unfortunate 100% marketing and not design engineer decision. Redshift 6 and Artemis are not out yet, but for what I want in that price range it is likely either would get my money before the also great Oberheim.
Happy to share that the best friends in my synth rig are the Matriarch and OBx8 (Module). Happy seasons!
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! I always enjoy your videos and I’ve bought at least two pieces of gear (Meraki and TEO-5) based on your videos. Look forward to more in 2025! Oh, and that OB-X8 can do the Bladerunner brass! Wow.
What’s that little light show thingy on your desk ?
Love the way you demo. Stay on point and jump to very good examples. Nice stuff here. Your end track reminds me of Kitaro.
great video! happy holidays Miles
What kind of track is on Bloom's review???!) My absolutely favorite synth of 2024 is TwistFM by TE???? It's just space, it's very strange that people don't notice it.
I‘ve also prominently used the Meraki on my Christmas cover-track
„Closing of the Year“. It‘s such a great pedal.
Nice video!
You’re going to absolutely love the SuperGemini. It’s such an inspiring instrument to play. The poly-aftertouch keybed is the best I‘ve tried so far. All the sliders and knobs feel great. The sound quality is exquisite and the sound palette quite versatile as well. It‘s a classic synth that you probably would never sell once you own one.
I wish I had one. ????
alta !
Merry Christmas ! Man !!
Love the improv at the end, amazing. Merry Christmas and here's to an amazing 2025 for one and all.
