First of all here is important: • Your mixer is a synth!... (go subscribe yeah)
Getting some help from my friend to understand the spectacular world of using no-inout-feedback-mixing to turn a mixer into a synth. So many possible sounds from just a free mixer and an aux cable. Truly astonishing squirrrklly tones! Have you tried it?

I've made industrial music since the 80's and this is a technique that I've uses for decades to get harsh, insane, sounds. This technique is the absolute core of noise music as well.

Sytrus is my go-to. You can basically start with a sine wave, and alter it to a mishapened wave for noise. Then, modify that with FX for whatever desired. Usually, EQ is the main change. Gets it done for me. My equipment is broke, rn tho.

Something important I quickly learned about no-input mixing: Keep the tape running. Always be recording. Sounds *will* get away from you, and it's nice to be able to go back and clip out the cool stuff to put in your sampler. Also, old busted mixers are great for this because they make even crazier sounds when their components start dying.

For sure. Same thing with modular and synths without presets. I have the Bastl Twins- the Kastle v 1.5 and the B Drum Kastle. I come up with new patches all the time that I will never hear again. The trade-off is endless variation. Sometimes I record a patch and a short improv jam. I can't wait to start shopping for dusty old mixing consoles. Ooh- "dusty" made me think of the Dust Collector effects unit. I'll bet pairing that with no input mixer hijinks would be fun.

Edit: since many people asked this question and I didn't mentioned it in the video I thought to write the answer here: yes, you can use active mixers but DON'T USE THE AMPLIFIED OUTPUTS to generate a feedback loop, because they will FRY your circuit. Use only the passive outputs.

You can do this with pedals too, by connecting a stereo splitter to the output and sending one line back to the input and one to your amp. With stereo pedals you can do it without a splitter. Gets really fun when you combine loads of different pedals into a big feedback loop. I haven't picked up my guitar for ages, I just play pedals now...

I've been doing this for years with pedals and cheaper mixers. These Behringer and Yamaha mixers are not great in my opinion. But they are bloody audiophile quality compared to old Radio Shack/Realistic mixers and similar. Those older junkier mixers distort much more interestingly. There is one thing that these newer mixers feature which the old ones lack, which is inserts. You can easily get several types of feedback loops going on at the same time in one mixer and still have the aux sends available for further processing, EQ reverb etc. Also, on all mixer with which I am familiar, the low cut will come before the insert and the EQ after. So you have some interesting control there. It's kind of funny, I got into doing that kind of stuff because I could not afford modular synths and fancy synthesizers. Now I have tons of modular gear and a not insignificant amount of analog and digital synths. But none of these can replicate a ghetto set up with a few guitar pedals and a mixer I picked up for $40. So I frequently reach for my crappiest gear to squiggle noises all over the pristine tracks I recorded with my best gear.

OMG I have the 6 channel version of this mixer with a lot of issues... This video is for me! Edit: Oh, I did exactly this sort of thing to mine-- probably why it has the issues it has now LOL. Also, "do not connect directly to speakers or headphones while doing this." Heh... Too late [TINITUS INTENSIFIES] Edit Edit: I am crying 😆 I haven't heard noises like this in years. I did underground internet radio for a few years back in the mid to late 00's, and we called these experiments "button solos". Good stuff!

Thanks for sharing ! I personnaly discovered the "no input" technique a few days ago with the release of the bastl bastie. Sounds really interesting ! And I love the approach of using what we have already or to give a second life to an unused gear !

Shameful plug: all the Magpie Pedals are particularly fun for no-input in a big part because of the triple bypass. The ability to engage/disengage an effect at will and rhythmically is really useful for avoiding a constant wall of sound and keeping things dynamic.

I actually used to play around extensively with no-input mixers in college, to the point where I had a massive polyphonic synthesizer! I had one soundboard rigged to foot pedals to play bass notes (a total of four different notes), another soundboard rigged to play chords and other accompaniment (a total of six notes with two-note polyphony), then a tape player I rigged to become an oscillator. I actually recorded an album with that set-up under the name Heavy Yellow, I believe it's still up on Bandcamp if you or anyone else wants to check it out!

I had had some fun doing this a while back, but I stopped because I’m paranoid about my hearing. I should probably just use a limiter or something for piece of mind, because this is simply too fun to not get back into

The EEs call this phenomenon "self-oscillation." It stems from the noise intrinsic to every electronic device. (Insert joke correlating Behringer with noise here.) When fed back and amplified, that noise modulates with itself, creating the audible oscillation. It comes off as a square wave here because we are peaking all of the amplifiers; playing with the gain might make other waveforms (and, thus, other sounds) possible. Impressive to see how good input protection is on even cheap mixers these days -- I am equal parts stunned and unsurprised your musician friend has never blown a mixer. OTOH, somewhere, there's a sound engineer watching this video and having an aneurysm. 😅👍
