Making A Moog Style Frequency Bank By Modifying Old Test Equipment

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

simple Mixer Stripboard layout Available on my site! www.lookmumnocomputer.co 30 minutes of stems and samples of this thing are available over on my patreon aswell as the song from this video :) - www.patreon.com/lookmumnocomputer Also! Would you like the 3d printed files for that little socket i built?

[@dadvader6197]

this performance dance could have used a bit more lsd

[@Gluttonforpeace]

@pcpaulius hahaa what

[@Smegma_pirate]

I should have said signal generator.... it was a score from the local dump.. I believe it is an EICO branded unit. I’ll upload a video and link it here

[@dustinmoore6643]

I've got an idea! Can you make a synth with a panning option & one that makes the volume go up & down. Example 3 oscillators one is a bass where the volume is going up & down (maybe different ways like a wave or a sidechain) one oscillator is panning left to right or right to left (and you can control the paning speed/ how far left to right it goes) and the 3rd one is just a tweakable tone plus you can filter it etc? 😃 that would be awsome

[@AllenSmithe]

Hey Sam! So by absolute chance I came across a B&K 1022 BFO in a local thrift store today. They're asking $200, which sounds a bit more than what you've paid but I imagine these are rarer here in the states. I had read on a forum that some of these old B&K oscillators put out massive voltage, as they were meant for lab work, and they can blow mixers amps etc if not modded. Any knowledge of the voltage issues? Worried I'll blow out my stereo lol. It's in a super random grungy thrift store so I would be amazed if they even know what it is let alone that they may have tested it, any key things to test or look for before buying? Thanks!

[@Hainbach]

Oh yes, finally!

[@FaceStuffer]

He bought all your stuff bro.

[@ToTheGAMES]

Hallo, ich bin HEINBACH! :)

[@raazmusic]

@@ToTheGAMES ... good to have you back... ;)

[@prema9878]

Oh hainbach you just spread the test equipment fever! :)

[@REDACT3D]

good form bud! hope you guys keep doing what you do.

[@JT-hi1cs]

In the future we'll bring our kids to visit the "British Interactive Museum of No Compu-Ah"

[@Sharklops]

Look, World.. No Computer!

[@75hilmar]

it might even be a thing at one point

[@rich1051414]

@Tiadiad Fis is the museum of no computah. You got fat, mate?

[@benderstratoblaster]

@@rich1051414 yes i got very fat

[@tzmtzt]

shouldn't it be bri' ish ? :D

[@mattsmith9024]

I was just thinking that we don't have enough mad scientists these days. You have my deepest respect!

[@MrMartinglob]

Wow, that green color and unmistakenly design brings back memories ;-) I was an electronics apprentice back in the early 80's at that Brüel & Kjær.

[@gaetan3600]

Nice yellow jacket! Many French people love your work

[@jezwinski]

Believe in that museum plan! I think that is an awesome idea. Don't be scared to try it!

[@gorillaau]

More hands on displays in spaces is important.

[@kaeltv]

Your studio looks like a old submarine. Cool video like always!!!

[@julianwarren8059]

10:24

[@inannab7769]

Usually people either know what they’re talking about, or have good aesthetics, but you do both and it’s amazing

[@FrancisMaxino]

Awesome how you're getting such organic sounds out of white noise and the signals, must be the analog circuitry...sometimes like 50s sci-fi effects from the movie The Forbidden Planet, awesome man, it's like having mega-multi-band resonance filter at your finger tips with a large bunch of potentiometers.

[@SoundAuthor]

Just wanna say that you, Hainbach and Simon The Magpie have become my KZbin holy trinity. You guys make KZbin great again ❤️

[@LeonTrimble]

there is just no stopping you! nice one Sam!

[@ultradrums]

I think you just communicated with another dimension 😄

[@RussellHolcombe]

You’re the DaVinci of synths!! Thank you for your genius!!

[@andrebartels1690]

I'd give two thumbs up if I could, only for the sheer amount of work that went in there. You have the absolute right kind of whackyness, I like you so much. I have two old function generators from 1970-1975 and I like to use them to display Lissajous figures on my 1970 oscilloscope. Some times I even interconnect them and listen to their beeping and sweeping :)

[@setadriftonfishandchips]

That is the best filter for drums I've ever heard. 😍

[@jakewelch.design]

That thing would make some insane ambient sounds

[@ivobeats3ds]

The fact that you actually build things all the time sets you apart from so many other youtubers. Great stuff!

[@CTRIX64]

Wow.... how it shapes the noise is lush. Those ghosts - love ya work mate!

[@Steve-bo6ht]

Your an absolute genius and the amount of work you put into that mixer was incredible

[@eurosat7]

dude - it's so much fun listening to that sounds

[@HightechLowlife-r8x]

it think it's one of the best channels around here,the sound of this thing is just massive !!!

[@analogsystem8015]

Waouh! Excellent! Big sound here !

[@zeitgeist909]

I love this channel. He builds and then plays it. Genius.

[@Andynonymous_music]

"And I kinda got a little bit carried away" sums up your whole channel perfectly lol. Keep the ridiculousness coming bruv!!!

[@dillipphunbar7924]

sweet filter array...u and hainbach, and magpie, are doing some gr8 stuff

[@wickeddubz]

Amazing source of frequencies and filter maxed out to ridiculous scale! Yas! I imagined what will happen if you add CV or LFO to each of these filters. Absolutely crazy setup you did. Bravo !

Lovely jubbly!!! Congrats!!

[@ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

7:17 has a Stockhausen vibe to it. I think you gave me a few suggestions as to how those sounds were made back in the day. Awesome. Thanks!

[@erewrw1906]

wow this filters have very nice disttortion to it i think. gives the sound extreme strenghth. sounds nearly like a soundgoodizer, like a preamp but stronger. this is wonderful

[@hulkslayer626]

He had a DS-1 on the table... maybe it was that?

[@greganderson5972]

Yikes! Ouch! Wow! Those gizmos are amazing!

[@zerix01]

This video made my morning. Those are some otherworldly sounds.

[@mvoproject]

Great machine for the sound design of the horror movies =) Also me really like that funky-junky at background! You are really great as always!

[@greganderson5972]

Dang! That fancy mixer is extremely elegant! As is the whole mainframe kit. You are mental. In a good way!

[@loopop]

Excellent!!

[@JeremyHelms]

nice "hands+arms on" frequency sweep. sounds good man

[@BibleStorm]

performance art right there

[@Skraboing649]

Top work as always Sam! "...nearly as big as a baby!" Classic!

[@michaelwilde2209]

Fantastic,proper electronic music,keep it up,we used to mess around with different stuff in the 60s & 70s,experimentation is good

[@matszh]

The Einstein of DIY synths! Love the electric cello sound at 8:37.

[@displeased-cat]

7:05 sounds kinda like an old router dialing in :D

[@klaasj7808]

didnt know routers dialed in.

[@user-lg7cb6sr5z]

Modem*

[@N.A._McBee]

Voll krass! Was? Das! Alles! Total... Oh, Mann! Tolles Ergebnis, sehr fleißig, cool.

[@MichelLinschoten]

You know why this channel is so awesome, you up cycle gear most would not even take a second look at if they held it in their hands. So damn cool

[@TofuRabbit]

Sam: "This is an audio frequency spectrometer, a forgotten relic from the '60s" Also Sam: "Yeah I'm gonna need like 14 of these now." Seriously though, the Frequency Bank looks fantastic, love the aesthetics blend.

[@UnitedPebbles]

It is a spectrometer not an oscilloscope!??

[@Itsurecanglitchsomemore]

Sam I really like all of what you do! Ever so wants to have a visit across the pond!

[@tranceangel7480]

Mum is very impressed. I subscribed!

[@idontfeellost1367]

Incredible work, Sam! You're an absolute treasure.

[@gbd5626]

you are incredible !!!! im fascinated by your electronic talent !!!! wow :)

[@rippedtorn2310]

Some of the sweetest sounds ive heard in years ...that thing is amazing . Cheers man wicked .

[@erichewes3288]

1. this is amazing and you are a mad genius b. its fantastic to watch the rapid improvement in build quality, those printed panels and the face plate fit the equipment's look so well さん. never give up on the museum :D you could host modular meets, electronics workshops, and maybe even gigs there too, all with help obviously. but it could be our weird electronic mecca

[@whatevernamegoeshere3644]

9:35 it just genuinely sounded like infinitely many instruments combining to make the sound, like when a buildup is created from 20+ layers. You took a single loop and made it sound like 30 seconds from an average EDM song. That was amazing

[@evil_me]

Some of the sickest sounds I have heard! This should make something truly brilliant 😎

[@aesdotjs]

Awesome work as always!

[@ConwayBob]

Bloomin' brilliant! I hadn't thought a fixed filter bank could sound this amazing. Thanks for a great ear-opener. LMNC.

[@bORKE_YT]

You're my biggest inspiration! Please never stop making these videos! Much love brother!

[@Ggffzzzhgfdduuujhg]

Now make it into a massive vocoder

[@setadriftonfishandchips]

Yes

[@futumama1]

I love all your absession..its beauty...!

[@flightvision]

wow! Very aesthetically looking aparatus. In an amazing video with great music. That was pure joy to watch. Looking forward to your evening in Stuttgart, very soon :)

[@michbexxx77]

Monster Sound Bro

[@stu9000]

Awesome. Loving the backing tracks too

[@bitegoatie]

This sounds really good, Sam. You have been doing inspired and inspiring work. I suppose you could automate all the settings, put that would kind leave the vibe of the fixed filter bank behind. The filters themselves were clearly a great starting point. Glowing cats add something to the experience, so thanks.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

im building VCA's into each knob :)! thats the next project on this one!!!

[@kobiknobi]

OH MAN , DEFIANTLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS

[@Rhythmicons]

This is by far my favorite one. I bought a Moog 10 just for the 907 and this thing sounds just as good if not better. The Q is amazing. Make me one please. hahah

[@ulfsvensson9710]

So impressed!! I like it!

[@ricardopalacios5968]

Brilliant engineer.

[@LiveAnotherDay24]

You may be not old enough to realize that is the sound of the modem dialing to the internet. Great job man! Love it!

[@mightymike1978]

That's why the bruel & kjaer market is absolutely emptied... YOU GOT THEM ALL!!!!! ;-)

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

haha naaa. thats not me.haha. not recently anyways!!!

[@FaOut]

Dude.. You are crazy!!! And i love it!!! 😂😂😂😂✌✌✌

[@ninethirtyone4264]

Could also work as a oversized 32 band eq

[@NicGoRe]

Was going to ask if an Alesis deq230 would do the same?

[@Evildandalo]

That’s essentially what this is. It’s just a giant array of band pass filters

[@hubzcaps]

Man the lfo style.feedback is amazeing man. Nice chunky saw wave also

[@my4trackmachine]

This has made me realized the power of fixed filter banks.... Now I am thinking about ordering one.

[@inhumanundead]

Uffda, this thing through a Big Muff = immediate HNW perfection. Great work as always, Sam!

[@TheCleansingx]

OH! So that's why I couldn't find any of these... You grabbed them all!!

[@SearchfortheMeaning]

Savage session!

[@Longuncattr]

Oh, awesome! I now understand the appeal of a fixed filter bank. :)

[@MonsterDubClub]

You have so many now.. Seeing them all together like that, is quite the sight to behold. 🤤

[@dessiplaer]

Very cool project! You're a genius!

[@farben_]

The Drumbute sounds awesome processed in that thing, even the hats sound spicy.

[@subversed]

You absolute madman. I love your work.

[@edgeeffect]

Love the enclosure... they look like they belong together. That's such a fab filter! I can see why Hainbach is so nuts for it. When you've got the VCA version done... Imagine pumping a really really really really slow LFO into each one... maybe stick a bit of digital delay on it too and ....... ooooooooooh!!!! Korg VC-1

[@gorillaau]

I love the smiley face on the back of the hi vis jacket. :-D

[@maxir4k]

BIG & MASSIVE filter.

[@johnathantyrer6077]

Love your vibe man on all your videos and great to see somebody young giving real passion in synthesizers,along with cuckoo you are both great personality’s for synth and gear lovers,keep up the good work

[@XanderEwald]

One of these days you’re going to accidentally create a miniature black hole in that studio and then: Look Mum, No Universe.

[@gregorio98000]

Dacci Pucci hahahahha

[@gorillaau]

Perhaps that should be Look.. no Mum... Just nothing, big, wide nothing.

[@KuraIthys]

Look mum, no.... .....

[@xil.sanctified]

OMG -- that Elmo bit! Scarrrrrrry. Well done! :)

[@turquoisecapricorn]

One of your coolest videos! Well done !!

[@Xylum93]

You really are a great teacher and you make me laugh to. Thanks. If your ever in Tasmania (oz). Feel free to couch surf. 👍

[@ollidix4090]

Honestly mate, where on earth do you find stuff like this? I’m amazed that you managed to find so many, especially for so cheap.. bravo Sam!

[@Goettel]

So happy I don't have to pretend to be a modular synth wiz. You got us covered, Sir.

[@weapea]

Like it! Sounds like pro Master. Master of all Masters.

[@dupsztafion]

westbam - love parade vibes dude! very good !

[@threeinitiates8260]

this looks so fun! i want one!

[@torbenchristensen1481]

I knew you were clever. But now, I have to declare you a genious!

[@TwoThreadsAhead]

That thing sounds absolutely amazing, I would nerd out so much in your lab

[@68bmx36]

This is amazing Sam,...totally awesome,..

[@REDACT3D]

I'm enjoying the test equipment video craze as of late. keep up the good work bud!

[@jendrikschmidt]

nice sounds !

[@tcfween]

Dude you're like a cross between Bob Moog, John Lydon and a Wiggle. It's brilliant.

[@gggfx4144]

First set of sound creation there would be an awesome otherworldly opening to a show - do it live!

[@gorillaau]

Thanks for the video. We all enjoy twiddling a knob... ummm. That sounded wrong.

[@williamj056]

That thing is cranking out some slaps my dude!!!
