Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most-hated audio tools. It's Kindergarten Engineering !!! I’m still coping with NAMM 2024 PTSD and I wasn’t even there. Korg released the successor to a synth the world forgot, Uli is getting really good at selling faster horses and Moog decided to save the important announcements for a much bigger show.
Yamaha - on the other hand - returned from a groovebox hiatus of over two decades only to release a display-less Lego cigarette trying hard to catch up on a trend based on a device that was announced at Messe 2009. Yamaha - It’s good to have you back.

"That's what you get when you order an OP-1 from Temu" - thanks mate, I am dead
-
''displayless lego cigarette'' LoL
-
Mozart and Beethoven didn't need screens. And they made the best post-trance retro-wave dark-ambient dub-techno the world has ever heard.
-
Dunks mercilessly on the gear but still makes bangers. This is why Bad Gear is #1!
-
There should be a logo for "direct to bad gear"
-
Flimsy keys ✔️ Gaudy colour scheme✔️ Almost affordable ✔️ Totally surplus to requirements ✔️ I just don't know why I haven't got one yet. 😂
-
I'm not even OCD, but that tag sends me up a wall.
-
Crouching tiger hidden menu 🤣🤣🤣
-
The Seqtrak progression: (1) That looks like an interesting groovebox. (2) Using my phone, which I always have with me anyway, as a better screen than it would have otherwise is brilliant. (3) Wait…I could just do all this on my phone alone, right?

I poked at one of these at my local music store and accidentally turned on the sequencer, resulting in a tepid fart-like anti-melody coming from the built in speaker and me desperately hitting every button on the thing to try to turn it off. Took me way too long to notice the 'play' button was on the side. Brilliant user interface design.
-
Hard to deny this: 4:26 "This overwhelming feature set is barely controllable using the physical UI of the instrument."
-
OP 1 from Temu is an iconic line 😂😂
-
Mr. Florian, I enjoy your show since the YouTube algorithm had recommended it for me in September 2020 (good old days😄). And as a big fan, I really enjoy the fact that the show become more and more recognised among the hardware manufacturers and this particular episode is the finest example of it. No kidding! Yamaha music division bosses finally decided to put an end on Roland’s new “direct to Bad Gear” line success story and make the competitive product themselves. Well, they certainly succeeded😆
-
Some products take 20 years to make it onto Bad Gear, others take 20 days 😂
-
Ok, but... why does it sound so good? Headroom for days.
-
The proprietary TRRRS adapter gave me shivers
-
This is my favourite piece of Bad gear I've ever owned!
-
OK that mad-as-a-box-of-frogs music video at 7:53 has just made my day. Florian, I hope you take a lot of pride in the joy you bring to people. Much love.
-
I can't wait for the imminent TE KO II episode. It's going to be brutal for sure.
