00:00Tambo, very important part of the set.
00:02Arguably the most important part of the whole rig.
00:04People like to hear the familiarity of the actual sounds that are on the album.
00:34Hey, what's up? This is John from the band Glom.
00:37I play keyboards and sampler and tambourine.
00:41And this is my rig rundown.
00:43Start with my favorite part of the rig.
00:45This is the Prophet 6.
00:47It's modeled after the Prophet 5, which I believe was the first polyphonic memory synth.
00:53So you can play multiple notes at once and you can save your sounds.
00:58Because a lot of synthesizers, wherever you put the knobs, is what the sound is.
01:02And you can't save it.
01:03So it really comes in handy.
01:06Got about 9, 10 patches for Glom.
01:09So we have a few main sounds that I use for Glom.
01:13One is a classic synth.
01:14The speakers aren't on right now, but it's probably the most common type of synth sound you've heard.
01:20And I have a, we can talk about this later, but I have a foot switch for the filter.
01:24So I'm working the filter sometimes during the set.
01:26The other main tone is a lead tone.
01:30It's a, sounds like a sine wave.
01:33And there is always a filter on that one at about 12 o'clock.
01:39And I also have distortion running on the lead tone.
01:43It makes it louder and more prominent.
01:46The volume always stays the same.
01:48So on some of the patches, I use things like distortion to boost it when it's a lead tone.
01:54And then all the other ones, there's no distortion when it's blending with the guitar and the rest of the
01:58band.
01:59Okay. The next keyboard here is the Nord.
02:01This is for all of the other sounds, mainly piano and Mellotron.
02:07And one synth sound I use just when I have to have this one on a certain patch and play
02:12them at the same time.
02:13But other than that, all of the same, all of the synths are on the actual synth here. Analog synth.
02:19I would say this is about 75% of the sounds on the actual synth.
02:23I love this thing. It's got the analog sound very, very true to hearing an actual synth.
02:30So you're hearing the actual electricity going through versus a sample of a synth.
02:34And then this one, it does a really, really good job of emulating pretty much every classic keyboard.
02:40And like I was saying, mainly Mellotron and piano for this one.
02:45This is the sampler. We use this to run a lot of the intros of the songs.
02:50That way, you know, people like to hear the familiarity of the actual sounds that are on the album
02:57to kind of get into the song. And then the drums bust in pretty shortly after.
03:01This is called a SP-404. It's the best sampler there is.
03:05So basically, I have both keyboards running into this Key Largo by Radial here.
03:11I love this thing.
03:13All of the sound goes out of this stereo effects loop here.
03:19It goes into this chroma console.
03:21I have a compressor, a doubler, and a cassette emulator on this thing.
03:29Every set I tend to, maybe not every set, but as I go along, I try to kick this thing
03:36up a little bit more
03:37because I really like making it wonky, if that makes sense.
03:41So it goes, all the keyboards go out of this into here and then back into the mixer on channel
03:483.
03:48So basically, what you're hearing is the dry signal and the affected signal at the same time.
03:54It sounds really good, in my opinion.
03:58And then we have the low-pass filter pedal here and the sustain pedal.
04:03And that's pretty much it. A pretty simple pedal board.
04:05We're missing one thing. The Tambo.
04:08So a couple shakes, maybe some of this, and then some of this.
04:15So that's the Tambo. Very important part of the set.
04:18Arguably the most important part of the whole rig, so there you go.
04:21Definitely check out New York Glom on all social media platforms.
04:24We have a lot of shows coming up, releasing a lot of music.
04:28Definitely check it out.
