The workflow mechanism is a very strong tool for unifying approach, but I don’t doubt stuff well outside that particular success will appear, prompted by the desire to demonstrate.
To that end, and copying the recording studio mantra, always be in record, could we make the workspace tool retrospective, so that at the end of a magnificent performance you can see what you did, rather than have to reconstruct it?
There was some talk of doing something similar with the MIDI stream.
Although tutorials is the subject for this thread I also hope to see more inspirational content, like this is my unique Zynthian setup, or this is how I made a vocoder with Zynthian… or this it how I turned my acoustic piano into a synthesizer with Zynthian.
That’s kind of what i was getting at - the exact sort of thing where other channels might be promoted by the Zynthian channel, showing off how someone does fancy things using the provided tools, helping each other with reach
I’m not really concerned about a specific format discouraging anyone from making their contributions to ‘how to’ or performance vids. After all there’s been nothing stopping anyone so far (except perhaps knowledge of the capture) and there’s still relatively few videos out there.
If anything it could show what’s possible and give more people ideas which they then go and share themselves.
I agree @laban77, what I’d love to see is more zynthian ‘jams’ out there in the wild. Look up basically any groovebox and you’ll see hundreds of them. I think that’s the really inspirational stuff that gets people excited to give it a go and share themselves.
Additionally to the talk about discouraging, an interesting effect i’ve seen in other places is people being outright inspired by the type of format described here: Basically, you go through a tutorial, and then you end up with that light bulb moment where you go “Hey, i just worked out a trick they left out!”, and whether that trick was left out for the sake of brevity or pacing or whatnot, they now have something they can make a video about of their own. Inspiration comes in many forms, after all
