Everybody knows the cat keyboard. But did you know about the B. Hippo piano? It sounds just like a vocaloid.

"I Looked Inside The Hippo But I Didn't Find Anything" - The story of Simon's failed career as a veterinarian.
K K Slider machine
K K Magpie
Damn im so hyped for that song. It sounds fucking amazing
As interesting as your circuit bending and pedal videos are, I think this type of video where you just take an old, obscure toy or gadget and see what it can do without being torn apart are the coolest. Very dope.
I love this song you've been working on! I can't wait to hear the whole thing. :D
My son has one of those! I play it more then he does...
I know it i know it!!! Hippo is the big bro of the cat. they look similar.
That does sound truly awesome.
More awesomeness. I've been playing with recording dry, reversing, then add echo or reverb, then reverse again
You were right simon, it is in fact dope.
YES! I saw this on the shelf at Target and instinctively started playing with it and was blown away by the fact that it had 4 voice polyphony and an octave shifter, but it was the vocal synthesis that really grabbed me, and I thought wow! Thankfully I have a toddler, and could justify the purchase…he loves it too but I know it will be sticking around long after he’s done with it!
this shorter format is very nice, makes things very digestible and fun to watch
"Tipps & Trix With The Magpie!"would be a wonderful childrens show where the kids learnt to Play with music. And yes! that instrument is totally cool -and beautiful!
Awsome as usual! This reminds me of some wholesome anime ending songs I've seen as a kid.
The sound kinda reminds me of vib ribbon. Cool video! May God bless you! :)
i wish my keyboard smiled like that
"They're insecure". Indeed, my friend. Indeed. 😄
The polyphony really surprised me.
Once again your tanlents have exceeded being a Maestro, These new edits to your previous track have brought happiness and quirkyness to such a amazing song, I really do hope you adventures do keep on going, this is the part of KZhead I'll always look for, You have such creativity it seems totally illegal, Big Standing Ovation bud!.
Hungry hungry hippos.
lol immediately bought this for our kids at Xmas lol definitely for the kids is why we bought it. Funny enough was messing around with it when new born by muse came on so I figured it out real quick. Now whenever I hear new born I’ll think of this silly hippo piano haha
Tips and tricks with the Magpie
Vib Ribbon, is that you?
It's not about the tools you have it's how you use them.
Sounds awesome Simon! Can't help but notice that digitech midi vocalist rackmount thing?? Just looked it up and it sounds kinda crazy!
Sound exploration is its own journey and never needs "acceptance" by the self appointed "authorities on sound "....rock out, simon....😊
You were right!
It fits perfectly in this track dang lol 😂 I'd be interested to hear a concept album made entirely of toy box instruments that have been circuit bent. 🤔 You're right, there shouldn't be such a stigma around using stuff just cause it didn't cost you 2000 dollars or isn't made by "name brand company' You've shown that creativity outweighs the wallet every time
HOW DID YOU DO THOSE VOCALS IT SOUNDED SO GOOD
THIS IS SO SICK!! It really sounds Mike like! I wish I could have played with this as a kid!! :(
Those plastic tubes with blowing air are somewhat asking to be circuit bent (or tube bent?) to became organ pipes.
The new ice-cream truck or bubbley tea truck jingle. . Just needs popping bubbles
Super dope!
Oh my God oh my God oh my God Simon you have to combine that thing with the tubes onto your feedback organ talk back box thing you did a while back oh my God they'll fit right in you got to do it oh my God you got to do it I'm so excited please do it
It would have scared me as a kid, but as a dadult, this DOES sound Dope McSoap!
I have to Meowsics...now I need a hippo!
Yeah.... Dope is the word 👌🏼
Beautiful! 😯🤯☺️
The singing sounds are very cool and fun, I like them! I like the song too. And I was also surprised of how good the piano sample was! Many people have sampled toy sounds even on hit songs. I hadn't noticed people have issues with that now - are they like forum people maybe? It makes no sense and they are missing out, so it's their problem I guess... :)
dope
At 2:53 there is clearly a beginning of another song. The do-do's with the blips in between create a nice country and western type of rythm.
Oh... KZhead did a timestamp and I wrote it a second too early... And the prase would probably work in the son too. :P
Good song.
Curious about the full track! Would love to contribute a sax solo for you to destroy with some pedals 😉
this is absolutely dope. But that begs the question, is it legal in your country? XD
Add an electric kazoo (aka Hummbucker) and you’ll be all set!
Yes, we admit you were right!
Why do so many people talk sh!t about stuff like this in music production? Well, it's a freaking hippo! 😂 Maybe apply a "Gibson" sticker to it to make people appreciate it?
It took me 5 minutes to see the hippo
👍
People doubted the hippo?
I come here when i lose faith in making music. Then i realise i can just fuck around and experiment and not be outcome focussed. Lets play. THANKS!
I admit
man this guy makes more with cheap gear then I make with my fancy stuff.... I really need to do better
But you don't understand, you, you - MAGPIE! Don't you see? It can't sound cool! It - it's a ToY!?!! A TOY! The opposite of an INSTRUMENT for - you know - PROS! Or maybe you can't see it because you're not a PRO! You're a BIRD, for the love of god! ACK! How can you act like a singing HIPPO can be a SERIOUS MUSICAL INSTRUMENT! (Thank you.)
I readily admit.
WAS RIGHT
To make a comment on yours regarding people that diss things like this; if you can make music with it, who gives a crap whether it's a $2000 instrument or a $20 children's toy. Someone who knows what they're doing can make anything sound good. Hell...The youtuber Sean Hogan makes songs out of sand...Or axolotl sounds...Or even Thyme leaves.
What's the name of this song?
Do re Mi....thats french xD
Do people talk shit about using stuff like this for music production? We hang around different people, sir!
Tbf I've heard worse piano samples from "pro" hardware XD
I admit
