[@peterseres3690]

Can you make a video about making a pitch bender? Maybe with a linear potentiometer? I'm new to DIY synth stuff or any electronics tbh, so I'm curious how could it be done? Also if it should be 1k instead of 10K, so the signal goes from the 10K pot meter to the 1K assuming it will just "bend" the note and not entirely hcange it to 1 hz to 25000 and further. Anyway, probably I was writing a lot of nonsense, but I'd love to see something similar. :D

[@arcticserpent]

I still can't find the links to the 3d print files for the crystal palace; where should I be looking? Thanks! And of course, awesome as always!

[@evewack7445]

r u british?

[@SkoomaSteve]

Crazy Idea, what if you set each of the 100 oscillator stacks to a sequential tone in the harmonic series and had a level control console for each of the overtones... since tons of juicy tonal sounds we know and love can be accomplished with different resonance levels of the first 10 overtones (1000%100=10) you could make pretty much whatever instrument sound you want.. your museum guests could participate too.. you could probably cook up some way of changing pitch as well as making juicy never-heard-before instruments.

[@steve1978ger]

it was long thought impossible to faithfully recreate the sound of a half melted Beethoven cassette found under the seat of an 80ies car, but Sam has done it! Chapeau!

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Ha lol it was a lot of work but by gosj

[@chrisbullock613]

lol

[@rossbarmache2811]

uhhh hello switched on bach?

[@steve1978ger]

emphasis on the half melted

[@hjalfi]

Every time the Mega Drone gets powered up, a KZbin audio codec starts crying in pain.

[@cleekersneaker]

LMNC should qualify for a loss-less plan

[@skriptico]

Hahahahahah! Burn in noise u bastard! (referring to the codec)

[@kamalmanzukie]

@@cleekersneaker eeby deeby

[@RougeEric]

You KNOW some horror movie soundtrack is going to be recorded on this thing within the next years right? It's inevitable at this point...

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

You never know

[@3leggedsharkkickssurferinballs]

Oooh, I hope so!

[@beanacomputer]

If it doesn't happen I will die deeply disappointed in humanity.

[@lawrencewatts1838]

someone tweet John Carpenter

[@SpyralStormTeacup]

I was thinking something like a Star Trek movie :-)

[@PWMaarten]

That gliding in tune megadrone never gets old.

[@SyrusRayne]

These sounds still absolutely rule.

[@225Perfect]

I agree. The oscillator on its own is awesome, and I love the spinny thing with the guitar and the pedal. Together I'm not so sure, but there were some awesome sounds in this video.

[@SyrusRayne]

@@225Perfect I do think the in-built tape compression's working against the fullness of the megadrone, but I like that messed up growling anyway. But like LMNC says, you could probably get that sound with way less oscillators. It definitely shines with the guitar, and has me wanting to build one of my own.

[@Renzsu]

At some point it sounded like you were trying to communicate with aliens that were still a few galaxies away. It's like that final close encounters scene on steroids.

[@johnpickens448]

The belt driven thingy hooked up to the guitar sounds like a Leslie unit. Put a foot pedal to control the rotation speed, and you could get some cool effects, much like a Leslie, but with the potential for new stuff.

[@BenODen]

And two pedal switches to stop on next even or next odd position.

[@benderstratoblaster]

Those chords at 0:58 are absolutely beautiful

[@Hainbach]

Yes! It comes together what needs to be together. Edit: still liked the result, it is nice and odd.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Ha yeah! Always worth giving stuff a go! Not what I expected but it has its thing going for it 🤣

[@guerrillaradio9953]

Wherever these sounds come from are where I want to spend eternity. Use VHS heads for the mobile head AND the stationary ones....and gratuitous quantities of tape, both for looper/delay (several, that can be triggered at will/staggered in timing) and of course for the actual tracking/mastering. Add liberal doses of Eventide Space on Black Hole and Drivedoom....FOOK MI this is nice....

[@StarsWithScars]

His hair is like fire when he stands infront of the red glowing wall! x,D such a twisting firestarter yeah

[@23Gears]

The sequence with the Crystal Palace and the mega drone was like a colliery brass band from the end of the world! Amazing!

[@tristramcox4615]

Love the description

[@kida4313]

If they ever make another blade runner, they should just hire you.

[@firstlast-gh9ig]

They'll change the name to knob fiddler.

[@cobiebeef]

The unfocused bit actually looks really dope!

[@endorphinsftw6218]

1:13 is simply the most breathtaking sound i've ever heard on a synthesizer

[@olik136]

honestly I would be ok if the megadrone had just a single big button that plays the THX sound 👍

[@philipm3173]

Was waiting for someone to mention THX

[@boobrowsky]

this sounds so dirty that i now feel like cleaning my ears with pressure washer

[@macronencer]

Now that's something I *would* be afraid to try.

[@on_idyl]

The Megadrone is a doorway to a parallel universe. I love it so much!

[@ShootAUT]

Let's say pure luck lets twisting, turning and switching visitors create a sound they really like. Is there a way for them to take it home with them as a souvenir, e. g. on tape or a small USB stick?

[@mullydoesmusic-ishstuff5506]

1) I think it sounded better than you were letting on. 2) kudos for putting up something that you thought didn’t work out so well. When you’re experimenting not everything goes the way you expect it and that’s ok. It part of fun and learning. Bonus) showing people how to take the disappoint of an other-than-expected result in stride is freakin fantastic.

[@andrewbailey7999]

Love the guitar through the Pog + Crystal Palace!

[@Jademalo]

I've got no idea why you sound so dejected, that bit from 5:03 sounds *gorgeous* I really need to build myself a crystal palace, lol

[@6pin66]

I think everybody needs a crystal palace :D

[@ieatspacemonkeys]

Showing the experiments that don't quite go to plan is great, this shows newcomers trying things out that there is a process of refinement, it doesn't always work perfectly and if it did, you would likely miss interesting avenues along the way. Well and truly in line with the the whole assertion that you shouldn't be afraid to have a go.

[@jeffseven2194]

It did sound like slowed down classical music with some distortion. Funny when you plugged in the guitar it sounded like my old Hammond Condor guitar synth, i had the pickup mounted on a Fender Mustang. Looking forward to the new tune

[@barbeverte5632]

Angry bees orchestra playing " the day chemicals arrived in the fields". What an emotional interpretation!

[@HBCrigs]

As a pretentious bee orchestra viewer, I argue it needs the waggle dancing section to be complete

[@joelrichards1505]

Forgive my ignorance, is that an actual song? If so, I couldn't find it

[@photonpilot__]

You really need to create a whole song with this thing and the guitar

[@stelp7617]

the guitar going through the Crystal Palace, just awesome!!

[@TRIPPLEJAY00]

That is definitely a bespoke sounds. It's like spooky sounds however pleasing to the ears.

[@TimDousset]

Those slow passes over the coils sound unreal!

[@pavloapisov]

You are probably the only person whose videos I don't speed up cause boi you are fast(i like it)...crazy good video as usual :D

[@astrodug]

I have a Mini Moog model D that I bought in 1979. It has 3 oscillators. Tuning 3 oscillators is hard enough, let alone 1000. You rock!

[@Julian_Bester]

7:42 ok but how cool so all the lights look now

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

4:38 ---> 6:57 I can listen to this sound endlessly.

[@ecalzo]

Brilliant Sam .. i hope i shall be there from the museum opening ...

[@nyrbsamoht]

i love it how every single 1/4inch patch cable on the control box has a different brand jack. diy master - thats how it shoudl be! no matching colours hosa nonsense

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Lol you gotta work with what ya got. Ocd on stuff like that is in plonker territory 🤣

[@mysynthsandstuff6519]

Love what you do... Beautiful and hope one day to visit your museum, from another south coaster

[@8bitwiz_]

00:32 It's the THX deep note coming out of a waterfall!

[@313Gravity]

The kilodrone is 100% the coolest sound I’ve heard in a while. Keep doing what you’re doing man. You’re changing music. And I like it.

[@6pin66]

3 people disliked because their minds were blown a bit too much and they couldn't find all the pieces

[@Emillionbuxify]

All you do is awesome!! I think the mixer and the megadrone where a real powercouple! A realy slow sequencer, slew and a nice beanbag to relax in would be the perfect combo for me anyways! Keep up the good work its 💯🔥

[@brianspenst1374]

I loved the overplayed orchestra sound. It feels like an AI trying to reproduce the sounds from the philharmonic.

[@shadcovert1160]

Starting around 5:30 I get an unnerving anxious feeling. Close Encounters type vibe. Very cool stuff.

[@porleg]

Jesus , that sounds amazing.

[@kaydot6889]

You know why they call it "autofocus"? Because it's usually "outta-focus". Old joke I heard back when I worked at a public access TV station. Works better when said out loud.

[@LPx007]

OMG, can't wait for the new track Sam...you're freaking awesome!! 😎

[@nullbyt]

6:38 holy crap I have goosebumps :)

[@Pablo668]

Can I just say Mr Nocomputer that you are amazing? That thing is bonkers.

[@TheTsunamijuan]

I like the guitar through the LMNC-Crystal Palace. You get a very muse'y sound at one point. the distortion seems to lend itself great to the low notes.

[@MisterRorschach90]

I’m glad I watched this video, if not I would never have learned the proper proper term for a knob, fader, and button presser. I must admit, as a child in the recording my dad worked at, I messed with the stuff simply because I was told not to.

[@TP-mb9rn]

Idk why but I like this guy. This is the reason we end up inventing things we never needed but we will always depend on after their release.

[@chaosandorderstudio]

Tbh you're really a smart dude. Very impressive! I love it!

[@JMGtII]

i'm sure other have said it but man that sounds like the THX sound!

[@tomladdus9264]

Truly unique sound!

[@rikardottosson1272]

The Crystal Palace guitar effects pedal thingy was insane. Some kind of early 90s drugged anxiety attack, you must mass produce it!

[@beautifulsmall]

Aliens will be dancing to this. Amazing work. To hear it and more ... feel it in person will be an experience like no other.

[@dialnfornick]

This is so good. More power to ya

[@MinusNoir]

That out-of-focus thing added some kind of disco vibe. More pls! ;D

[@iancain6647]

Dude. I absolutely cannot wait to come check this all out!

[@Cheesecake1559]

This sound brilliant

[@pvtglarson1]

this guy is my only known favorite mad scientist or at least looks way closer to a mad scientist than i ever could imagine myself

[@Andrew-qx6wj]

Oooooooooooooooh!!! IT SOUNDS SO POWERFUL AND HEAVY!! Also I am going to use "die hard plonker" in my work with cranes - you cant stop EVERYONE ALL THE TIME

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

You need to sandwich that between Marshall stacks! It’s one thing to muse, ‘wouldn’t it be something’ and another entirely to actually realizing it. Great work, Sam! I work with electronics and I know better, but when I see this all lit up, I imagine it to be too hot to stand in front of! Anyone else?

[@hmbrt12]

Gosh!! That sounds powerful!!👌🏻🤖⚡

[@Skraboing649]

Daftly awesome Sam! Around 05.15 you've out-epiced the Inception soundtrack. Eat yer heart out Zimmer! ☺️👍

[@mataogearsky5353]

That guitar bit starting at 8:48 had an _amazing_ sound. Very "cowboy showdown". I'd love to hear an expanded version of it. It hit a _wonderful_ spot for me.

[@thenevershow3795]

This some horror franchise music from the Crystal Palace and the mega drone its like a bigger fuller thx Apprehension engine ^o.+^

[@jameshamaker9321]

Beautiful, it's like a giant organ, like the one in the gothic cathedral in Berlin. Except electric.

[@tingstrap]

I'm so freaking excited to go to the museum

[@duncanpassey9772]

That sounds so good... Glad I had headphones on!

[@aditivienna2194]

[@claudehediguer8059]

A nice guy, whith good sounds... thanks for aventures 🌞👌💐💐💐🥰

[@per6605]

I'm so impressed by this I can't even find proper words for it... Only one thing: can't you connect the megadrone to one of those gigantic wall-mounted switches, that all the mad scientists in 1950's science fiction movies before saying: "Idiots! I will destroy you all!" I think it would be a nice touch!

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Wall mounted switch would be nice big plonkey thing

[@desamos8196]

Love the spinny thing

[@sparkstron73]

The mega drone/ crystal palace sounds were giving me close encounters vibes whilst the guitar stuff went from sergio Leone vs hank marvin vs hendrix vs pink floyd. You should patent that, great sounds

[@Rokios]

Gosh, some excellent BBC Radiophonic Workshop sounds.

[@solojo5000]

It's glorious!

[@5un5hine47]

wow guitar sound so massive!

[@jasongrim2027]

This is absolutely legendary

[@rankinsean]

The museum and your place look basically the same! 😂

[@stevebuchan6642]

that is doomy AF at low rpm. love it

[@TomekTQ]

This NEEDS to be an album

[@Booszhius]

The first bit of the guitar demo sounded like something David Lynch would use in a soundtrack, but then it morphed into a Muse-esque riff. So cool!

[@ZappyOh]

An Effect-Sequencer ... ? Many interesting ideas are knocking.

I would consider a trip to merry old England just to get a chance to play with this thing. Not a plonker.

[@KeytarKris]

Wicked genius 🎹🤟

[@soundscapejourneys-wileymonroe]

You've got an arpeggio happening :) I say there is quite a potential, for example a back drop rhythm with this sequencer chugging on with other instrumentation. The crystal palace motor has variable speed to achieve different time divisions as a sequencer, so rock on
