Plays dance of the sugarplum fairies on the three electromechanical instruments: "I think we're making some progress"

[@goldenghostinc]

Now if only the teletubbies could dance to and around that. That would be a truly amazing / horrific scene 😁

[@JamesTK]

@@goldenghostinchorrific enough with the brief Teletubbies cameo in this video

[@tomturelur9191]

The Teletubbies interacting with the haunting sounds of the vibraphone is pure nightmare fuel...

[@backdoorwolf666]

I was gonna say. Get the lighting right and you got yourself some pure terror there.

[@henriknykvist]

Choir of the damned

[@carlosap78]

Yep, that's what I thought.

[@robertkiss7003]

Please, try to connect this marvellous mashine to one of the Leslie speakers. Via miking it up perhaps? Cheers from Scandinavia!

[@robmanueb.]

Hey lets take acid and listen to my instruments, argh! Runs screaming from the room...

[@dyscotopia]

Sam is more productive than most corporations. I love these retrofitting projects. Can't wait to hear some 18th-century automata playing some acid basslines

[@MrJozza65]

I love the combination of modern MIDI electronics controlling the old mechanical instruments. Makes me think it would be great if one day you got hold of a fairground organ and converted that to MIDI

[@bountyjedi]

Those usually play from organ books, so one could probably just make a MIDI "organ book" to play the organ by MIDI. I would not be surprised if this has already been done in some instances.

[@alfsmith4936]

A piano roll, basically is midi before computers. It would be a cool project but I'd rather see the player mechanism controlling modern synths.

[@ambiention]

Two ideas: - assuming they’re not velocity sensitive, a global velocity control on each instrument would be useful for dialing in the sound. Especially that glockenspiel might sound a bit more pleasant with a little less force going through the mallets. - add in some ramp time on the vibraphone a la rotating speakers Love it

[@VAXHeadroom]

Great idea! Probably can shorten the ON pulses to drive the mallets to touch the tines more lightly...

[@thirstyCactus]

I used to fantasize about building a room full of MIDI controlled instruments like this when I was a lad. Thank you for all these videos so I can enjoy the fruits of your labor vicariously :D

[@Masheeable]

I want an entire video and a new song dedicated to the clown-boat comments that think you're not on the ball with your projects. Your mock reenactments of their comments are often the best parts.

[@RingingResonance]

He should write another song about it.

[@illustriouschin]

Sam continues to be one of the most prolific creators who ever lived.

[@pauljs75]

He's got something going on. But it's not always made obvious just how clever the approach being used really is. I guess it's fun to respond to people calling out stuff with the "I already thought of that" moment. Perhaps it's that many projects seen on KZbin are half-arsed, and those people commenting make the same (yet wrong) assumption of Sam.

[@blackmoofou6385]

What a complete master of bodgery the organ guy was to have created these bonkers machines. I love the fact they are a bit or ever so slightly wonky doo dah in how they sound but they are perfect for experimental horror film soundtracks with teletubbies and everything in-between! Great work Sam bringing these beauties back to life. It will be fun to hear how these are used by folk in the future. ❤

[@nobodyanderson4353]

What a time to be alive, this guy gets paid to do things i could never do and its entertaining. Imagine 15- 20 years ago no one would know anything about this fantastic inventor and musician. Love it.

[@skye5132]

Beautiful hearing them all play together, can't wait to see what you make when all the instruments are running.

[@Hainbach]

Magical ❤

I get 1950's horror-movie vibes from this :)

[@19josh77]

You are the coolest mad scientist. I'm fascinated by all of this.

[@jsleeio]

really getting good value out of that MIDI PCB design! love it

[@stufinnis]

This takes me back to a TV program for kids from the 70's called 'Vision On' where they would play a piece of music while showing drawings sent in by viewers, in the 'Gallery'. I didn't know it was a Vibraphone used on the track until now. I just looked it up and it's called Left Bank Two. You learn something new every day!

[@edgeeffect]

Yeah... I was about to leap on the reply button and say Left Bank Two.

[@el_es]

Super nice! (this is a side-note as in 'plainly difficult' sense ;) but I've been taught to put wheel diodes (the ones you're cutting off) as near to the coils of electromagnets as possible, as /back in the day/ the protection diodes embedded in the drivers were only good enough to handle transients inducing in the connection wires (if the driver-to-wire lenght is substantial)) there are specialized two-way transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes these days, that work no matter which way the voltage goes... much beefier than anything that can ever be in a chip :) )

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Cheers for the pointers! Having not done that and relying on the built in protection diodes has not had any instances of failure in 2 years of regular use. I'll probably just stick with what I'm doing. But cheers!

[@2760ade]

@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Maybe being a bit dense, but don't really even understand what the diodes are protecting against?

[@pauljs75]

@@2760ade Coils have this fun odd way of storing energy through electrical induction. Those for the solenoids moving the mallets are no different. You're just giving the stray currents from that another path to use so it doesn't feed back into where you don't want it. (Maybe not the best explanation, but I hope that's the gist of it.)

[@2760ade]

@@pauljs75 Thanks for that! Very well explained actually, as I understand now!😀

Tiny request: a little speed indicator line on the Vibraphone belt so we can see it going along.

i did like you saw the spiral in the vid, but i found it ran better the other way around. and by the time i realised i had lost my sharpie

@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER those things always disappear like they've got legs. It's like a conspiracy.

[@stikee2003]

My dad has converted a marching band type xylophone to midi using solenoids and homemade beaters , it duets with his home built fairground type organ very nicely , he then went on to add a bell ringer using hand bells and solenoids/ beaters , the midi converters you are using g look very similar , if not the same as he uses, he’s also added wireless midi transmission to reduce cabling between organs , he’s 82 !!

You have inspired me to buy 244 14 pin relays and 122 5 pin relays to make a rackmount unit for my 1958 Hammond C3 to bypass the keys and make it capable of playing and recording midi. If only I had a job and had money to do it.

[@AlteredCarbons]

i know nothing about whats going on, but i love the fact that you are taking all this older music tech and resto-modding it with the newer tech to work. it sounds amazing and is really neat. i only found this channel a few months back looking for an arduino project for my little brother. been watching the videos since

[@tomturelur9191]

The heads of the Glockenspiel "hammers" are wooden, right? Sound very harsh to me... I'd change them with rubber ones to soften the sound... But this is just me. Awesome work, mate.

[@collophonium]

its not just you

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

if they are rubber then they are the same as the lower. they just need some fine tuning
