Meeting An instrument Inventor with a difference - Lomond Campbell

[@lomondcampbell3615]

That track turned out ace Sam! Well worth hauling your eurorack case all the way here and back. 😉

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

nice one lomond!! a lovely place you got there and it was a grand week :D cheers!

[@NateDogg1717]

Describing the sounds the harmonograph makes as "poetry" is really cool. I've never heard someone use that before and I like it.

[@Charlottesville798]

Congratulations.... Hope you both will be very happy, best for the future........!

[@padders1068]

Lomond! Love your mad machines, especially the musical "Spirograph" 🙂😎😎 Sam - thanks for sharing! 🙂

[@makeperceive]

Sam needed something easy and relaxing to do so he took his Eurorack apart and rebuilt it from scratch

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

LOL! 🙂. Was thinking the same thing.

[@althejazzman]

Lomond has such a mindblowing range of ideas. He makes it sound so simple as well.

[@makers_lab]

Wonderful gadgets at the studio, and love the clicky feedback of the wheels on the letter sequencer thingy.

[@kid.forever]

Cool!! Love that turntable sequencer so much.

[@medicman4444]

Always nice to see the Volvo bricks driving about :D

[@medicman4444]

*fatherjack hugging a Volvo "I love my brick!"

[@PjotrStroganov]

Coincedentally a a week ago a colleague of mine did a similar run in France. With a Volvo brick.

[@SOLIDbpm]

Such a cool studio with a great view, what a lovely place to escape to. Lomond really a has a great imagination to come up with some of those. Nice mini modular setup, great choice of modules for a full sound. 🤪

[@Colin_Ames]

What a fun trip. They were some extraordinary machines at Lomond’s place.

[@chrishahn3834]

I wish I had even a fraction of your motivation. Seems like you're always working on something new (or old). :)

[@wideyxyz2271]

Love it. Glad you had a good time and recharged those creative batteries!

[@Galm1Cipher0]

Nothing like playing Synths in front of the scenic window

[@macronencer]

That studio is wonderful! If I ever need to record live drums or something, I'll bear it in mind. I'm in Aberdeenshire so not terribly distant :) Lomond is full of amazing ideas, too! Loved the turntable sequencer and the Harmonograph.

[@GizzyDillespee]

Thanks for apologizing for the blur at 8:50. Tho I'd rather hear it directly from them, anything helps. Oh nvm, it was Oasis I was thinking of!

[@jeanbonnefoy1377]

Fun fact: the harmonograph reminded me if one I built when I was a kid thanks to the Meccano set from my dad... And his original Meccano catalogue of... 1923 (a bit of context: dad was born in 1911 and became an engineer... And since you were in Scotland, I built another Meccano massive endeavour: the Firth of Forth railway bridge. That one blocked the dining table for weeks😂

[@piquantement]

I got recommended this video randomly in my feed and I have no idea what's going on but I like it

[@dcallan812]

What a great studio set up. Great video 2x👍

[@b-north]

this track you made is fucking bumping 💯💯🤯

[@KarlMiller-DjKarl]

Pays to dust off your modules once in a while... Loved Lomond's studio very cool... ☮🔥

[@unkowndata2338]

This is so cool! This is Edward, Sam from the email about the midi kick drum. This is insane!

[@mr.dikkens]

Beautiful house to be playing around in!

[@UkiMalefu]

I love the drawing/machine/instrument/thing

[@jochenstacker7448]

3:31 a Scottish person saying "burglar alarms". My life is complete.

[@2760ade]

Yes! Jeremy got a Scot to say that on Top Gear, years ago, for laughs!!😂😂

[@pauljs75]

I like the hominess of the electro-mechanical gate sequencer and function generator they had there.

[@dave_s_vids]

Amazing inventions - love it!

[@marvinmatter1501]

what a great and creative dude. Love it

[@curtishoffmann6956]

Cool. From 10:00, everything becomes very Kraftwerk. Maybe get Hainbach in to narrative a user manual...

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

A man who's almost as crazy as you but got to admire the art and desighn.

[@nojokemovie]

Congrats Sam!

[@kcahdp]

4:00 Circular sequencer - principle created by Leon Theremin in his Rhytmicon - first drum machine

[@jwcph]

Hey, Fort William, I know a dude there, lovely fellow called Woody! He's got a kind-of resort or something out by Ben Neviss which I've never visited - been thinking maybe this is the year to finally get 'round to it...

[@donerskine7935]

About 30 years ago I designed and built a MIDI-to-parallel interface for my drum machine. (I still have it!) I intended to build another recently but it was 6809-based and some of the other parts are hard to get. The J-Omega MIDI-to-parallel and Parallel-to-MIDI interfaces, mentioned in the video, look perfect for my needs. They are reasonably priced too. (I am not in any way affiliated with J-Omega)

[@guywith_dog]

the thing you made at the end became incredible immediately and made me say "what the fuck" out loud to my phone in an empty room

[@johntait5141]

6:25-6:35.....yeah😎. Very very cool as always.

[@gui_saba]

fantastic stuff!

[@russ254]

honeymoon? wow, yay, congrats!!!!

[@gerardvila4685]

Likewise ☺

[@i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

This stuff gives me some steampunk vibes. Lovely stuff.

[@g3cd]

Polyend did the "Perc", which are also little drum motors, but they've been discontinued and insanely expensive (talking about 1450 € per piece).

[@TailSpinRCSpain]

We had one of those drawing pendulum machines in the school lobby in 1969 !

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

That is cool. Did you ever get a drawing from it?

[@mikebond9315]

sausage clipping is normal in canada

[@merlin5476]

That puts a whole new twist to Carl Palmer's electronic drum kit that he made in the early 70's.

[@temporoboto]

wow!💙

[@TheDrumanchu]

AHH! I've been dying to build a harmonograph to do exactly what he was doing!

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Fire him an email. The way he has put it together is very clever but surprisingly simple

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

Me too!, and the record player thing as well. But when I heard him say, "I sell the picture with the music it made" my brain exploded, LOL. I've always wanted to do something like that, single original recording + single edition work of art.

[@GizzyDillespee]

Imagine tho if 2 of you showed up to the same Saturday market or arts festival... It would be like when the 2 monochord players showed up and fought over which one was actually tuned to the universe. But if 2 experimental music auto-wobble-pens showed up at the same time, they could have a dance-off, and then coerce some beauty pageant judges to decide the winning drawing and music (and how the machine looks and presents itself, of course, and the person who brought it would have to answer a "serious question", as part of the competition. Yeah, arts festivals should do that sort of stuff. Bring on as many harmonia as you will!

[@althejazzman]

@@TheScreamingFrog916 I would sell the music with the picture it made.

[@NicStage]

I spy a MixPre-10M ♥ Those are sorta rare, as far as Sound Devices stuff goes. haha

[@handwoundpickups6555]

Amazing 👍

[@Super8Rescue]

What a nice day out

[@thebiggerbyte5991]

Excellent stuff!

[@aaronstclair2423]

The enigma midi sequencer

[@elijahmadden4057]

"Sounds like my grandfather taking a leak, Mikey. Thrillsville." haha

[@DataCollaborate]

How much Datapunk dows LMNC wants to be? The Answer: Yes

[@CraigRodmellMusic]

6:30 this is what you get if you cross a Theremin with a Spirograph set!

[@JohanvanderMeulen1991]

That was the Rust 'N Dust Rally in the first few seconds

[@returnofthemilk]

Wow. Juicy ideas.

[@jimspectre]

Amazing

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Inspiring guy, and place!

[@merlin5476]

Petr valek springs to mind here, although i think he's probably consumed a lot more acid. Great stuff you have here👍

[@CausticCatastrophe]

what a fun trip!

[@arthurcrime]

Genius! 😮

[@jgood1227]

when is the next organ video coming out?

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Next one. Ignore that comment above btw scam

[@BingoBongoBengo]

Loved that eurorack track!

[@tomahzo]

Such an amazing place :D

[@annother3350]

So before the Arduino it was the parallel port?

[@browserflowers]

So cool

[@codebeat4192]

2:57 Sounds like the beginning of "Man at Work - Down Under". Sounds like the same instrument. And no, I don't mean the flute. 🙃😉🙂

[@andrasbarabasmusic]

Amazing video, will say he sounds exactly like Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan actor) haha

[@budgetkeyboardist]

So cool!

[@streetpoet1804]

Fresh.

[@oddballno3-builds780]

So Sam sourced some sea sounds form the sea shore?

[@btarczy5067]

Gotta be honest, water splashes are kind of uncomfortable for me through headphones for some reason but you really made it work in the end! The instruments are brilliant as well, I‘ll definitely check out his videos.

[@Lazored1]

sort of like an inverse asmr, i get uncomfortable with some of those types too

[@JamesChurchill]

​@@Lazored1the word you want is "misophony"!

[@pauldolman7487]

Did you build your eurorack case and power supply? if so, can you do a video on it?

[@def_not_dan]

Is there any way to recreate the audio of that harmonograph from the image it produces?

[@crimester]

"im pretty bad at actually not doing anything" SAME

[@8bitbasslines312]

Class act

[@ninetailscosmicfox5585]

I can and want to be like him. I have a plan to make a mass marketable analog computing synthesizer and the inability to apply my idea because cash is killing me inside. I have a YM2149 and a Concertmate-990 I'm looking to combine it with and that J-omega is some killer I'll have to integrate into my project. Eventually I'm also going to link up my air drumming kit when I figure out how I want it configured (sequencers and FM modulation with a YM2612 and such)

[@alexanderthomas2660]

11:32 Is that a master clock on the wall, or just a regular pendulum clock?

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

master clock ofcourse! only allowed one in the flat though, i tried to sneak another one in but it got refused and i had to take it down haha.

[@popeter]

knowing fort william as one of the destinations of the highlander sleeper train did you take that to get up there?

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Yeah but it stopped at 4 in morning and we got kicked out in Glasgow lol

[@christoroppolo8742]

Wowed ! 👽✌️

[@mcameron1981]

Never thought I'd see you up in my home town, Sam. Hope you had a good time?

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

yep was grand not been up for some 15 years or so since spending more time on my arse than on the bike on the DH track

[@synthshoot1026]

0:40 "Pretty bad at actually not doing anything". That should be the dictionary definition of "Sam".

[@jomorken4853]

Pythagoras would have loved this guy

[@aaronstclair2423]

Sick as F&$K!!!

[@smaspa8627]

Was your microphone fully inside your mouth during the intro?

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Huh?

[@use_Error4444]

Это супер круто!

[@Ippatron]

Can I ask you what drum module you use on Kosmo? I've always loved your drums but I don't know if I can purchase the module...

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Kick drum is a neinohnein pcb that has been modified. Snare is a mix of a twin t snare and a Linn drum sample

[@Ippatron]

@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER thank you!

[@NoirEater]

OMG you should use a sample of yourself going "lobely jubbly"!

look at ur first vids, go back to the roots. beginnerz mind by suzuki 😉🤙

[@vinylarchaeologist]

Genuinely disappointed you didn‘t take a couple of Cosmo Format Modular cases with you on your honeymoon 😡 I think this channel is losing focus. Much love ❤ and congratulations!

[@zvotaisvfi8678]

u ever try an ebtech hum eliminator on the output for the sound quality

[@carnyzack]

3:33 - No true Scotsman can properly pronounce "burglar alarm"

[@creedpowell]

Have you ever thought about reaching out to HoneySmack to collaborate?

[@music-maker2505]

Those inventions are next level engineering, imagination, just sheer genius 🔥Can’t wait to see what you took away from there. I want your future plans are Dude 🫶🏻🌍🍀
