The red paint on cut surfaces in museums is so that the viewer of the object can distinguish between what is original to the object and what the museum has done to enhance it.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

indeed but why always red. not any other colour. i mean its a solid colour for that, but i have never seen one with another colour. recon one person did it and everyone just went ooh red a good idea

[@tommihommi1]

​@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTERmaybe it's because nobody reasonable would paint parts of an engine red in any other situation

I just flew from the US to the UK a week ago to see the museum. It's definitely worth the visit! I wish I'd known about the music festival though.

[@danton8302]

Fun fact: In Black Hole Sun, Chris Cornell plugged into a Marshall head which was plugged into a Lesley speaker. He used a slow speed for the melody line and a fast speed for the slide part

[@confuseatronica]

well thats probably why the sun turned into a black hole

[@davewallace1209]

Didn't the Beatles do that, or Clapton with Cream?

[@cusemoneyman]

The guitar solo in Aerosmith's "What it Takes" also uses a Leslie!

[@tippyc2]

With all the organ stuff of all types that you've collected and converted to midi, you could cobble together one heck of an instrument if you assembled them all together. And I approve of the choice to cut those speakers in a museum setting. When i was younger, I never had any idea how those worked. I always wondered how you make a speaker rotate.

[@RobertMaxwellMediaCorp]

Just wanted to say that the inside of that controller box looked incredibly neat and tidy when you finished up. I know you make it seem like you're just bashing stuff together, but I think the results clearly show your professionalism!

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

Proper installation with proper ambition. 4 x yes and a quad hand shake. This is the purest of quality

[@blackmoofou6385]

Phew you didn't half put a lot of work into that lot. I physically felt your pain when the amp blew. Well worth all the effort though Leslie speakers are the best man and to have that many working is next level, well done Sam! 😊

[@MrMaxeemum]

I am sure Mr Stockdale would love the work you are doing, not necessarily the music (different generation) but he would love that younger generations are doing their thing with the equipment. Keep up the good work Sam.

[@NicStage]

The setup with the tape loops is so cool!

[@Rr0gu3_5uture]

I used to love bunging my SH-101 into the Leslie input of my friends ancient old Gem organ, it sounded well cool! I can only imagine how awesome an analogue synth would sound going into four at once!

[@icarossavvides2641]

Yes, at 10:30, we used to get Leslie's in regularly because Roadies would force the connectors into the back of the cabinets without checking they were going in correctly!

More than binaural. Doesn't the effect change when you turn or move your head ?

[@Roxor128]

@@theelmonk Seems like it would. This is probably an effect that not even Ambisonics could capture. You'd probably need VR to replicate it.

[@codelicious6590]

Absofrickin-lutely amazing! I love this! Musical mad science!! Im so happy about this all being part of a museum as well, I just love this channel!

[@monkeymhn7]

Sam, try this idea, take all of your source signals in to a matrix mixer first then to your Leslie controller. By doing this you open up the ability to create stereo and quadrophonic mixes. I have done a similar setup with two Leslies and a stereo mixer in a church and had impressive results. If I can find the diagram of what I did I will try to get it to you so that you may use it as a reference point. Good luck with your festival project.

[@macronencer]

It was awesome seeing you sitting there with the Korg, surrounded by rotary sound! And then you put the icing on the cake by bringing out the CZ101, which was one of the first synths I owned. Happy memories...! And yes, those speakers are HEAVY. I used to use a twin-cab Sharma Jubilee 7000 rotary amp with my Hammond X5 organ back in the 1990s, and I still reckon that the back pain I suffered about a decade later was probably one result of lifting those monsters in and out of vans...

Just saw the teskey brothers at a festival they had a Hammond and Leslie on stage and sounded awesome, I can't imagine the stage hands backs were so happy though 😊😊

[@ricdale7813]

Very Pink Floyd Live at Pompei vibe. Wonderful tones.

[@dennisferron8847]

I realize back in the day they didn't pay as much attention to electrical safety, but you still have to wonder WTF they were thinking with some things, "oh let's put the audio signal in the same cable as several pairs of mains voltage." What could go wrong! And use a connector with the pins in a circle, for good measure.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

to be honest its quite a good connector as 2 pins at top are slightly larger but yet it is hourrendous at the same time, and if i was not making it permanent out of reach i would have put something better on. the metal contacts are not far from the actual top of the socket, even on the proper ones. not the safest method in the world no

[@ShouldHaveBeen]

An integrated phase control would be really cool. Surely, you've thought of this. You are a genius.

[@mcfly1077]

You are an technical and creative genius! Amazing skills 👍👍👍

[@nigelsears7191]

got to say always been drawn to the simplicity of the leslie speakers and there crazy sound well done sam great video

[@classicaudioadventures]

The "mystery" leslie looks like it was chopped, based on the different top panel material (it looks like MDF), and the rounded cabinet corners that meet said panel, which should be squared off near the top (mirroring the bottom). There's a good chance the single upper rotor originally came from that cabinet. If that's the case, it may have started its life as a 145, or a 45 and the two-speed motor stacks were added later.

[@DominicPiscopoFigidiniHill]

This looks like a blast to play. The larger Leslie with the wood baffle and no horn rotor may be a model 125. I have chopped my own down to be piano bench height. It was modified to control the speed and break with my heel using a three way switch on the back wired to the Leslie socket.

[@CasioChaosTheory]

Love the sound you're getting from those modded Quadra-Leslies - awesome work Sam! And you even cracked out your Casio CZ-101 at 12:30! 🎹 😎

[@Zethanie]

"... Where's all the sound comin' from?", inspires imaginings of optical art in that small space --- the type that requires a a first layer of paint in hues complementary to the speaker perhaps (allowed to cure) followed by duct tape applied in visually challenging pattern, followed by another layer of paint and then once dry, peel away the tape to reveal the pattern. Finally, combine that with the sound output. That is what I imagine.

[@theelmonk]

Mirrors on the baffles and a laser

[@Zethanie]

@@theelmonk Perhaps kinesthetic art, such as a panel with a matrix of metal discs each dangling from a finishing nail that respond to changes in vibration or air currents.

[@lascheque]

I'm convinced future mankind will be baffled that Cyberdyne Systems and Skynet derived from a really cool tech museum in the UK.

[@TheDistur]

Those things must be quite an experience!

[@redsquirrelftw]

I like how relatively simple leslie speakers are but they sound so cool. I imagine the sound varies depending on how they sync up too, could be interesting to add a way to control that.

[@theelmonk]

Pretty much every one of Sam's creations is intended to have multiple sources that DON'T have locked phase

[@fixyourautomobile]

Hear me out. Stepper motors - Angular control and sync modes. BPM matching. That would be insane. You could place 4 of them in 4 corners and phase each one from the next a specific amount of angle.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

I'm gunna do the other ones with the stepper motors as mentioned. Probably not beat matching but who knows!

[@fixyourautomobile]

@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@DeadKoby]

Rotary speakers are super fun. I'm really thankful I built one for myself.

[@macronencer]

The late great Graham Bond (Hammond organist and one of the most influential musicians ever to NOT be a household name) sometimes used four Leslie speakers during gigs, one at each corner of the stage. I'm sure he would have approved!

[@zemertz]

Aw those speakers sound beautiful 😮

[@Zethanie]

A subtle yet generous synesthetic op-art complement on those walls would be amazing. Of course, the real challenge is avoiding renderings that confuse or torment.

Always something interesting.

[@ImnotgoingSideways]

Jeebus. I have a pair 122s that already sound mind bending. About the only thing I poke about is the cutting of the baffles. Part of the sound effect comes from the reflections within those baffles. A mostly common practice to up the volume and visual is to place the boxes back-out and just remove the sound-space boards.

[@cinemaipswich4636]

I once did a live mix with a Lesley and 4 microphones. It was a small venue and we had a large PA, so I put 4 speakers in the corners of the venue and fed them with a powered line. People reported that they were experiencing "vertigo" when the Lesley Speaker spun up.

[@ataricom]

Sam, I hope to someday visit the UK and your museum, it's been great watching it all come together!

[@chent]

Think I remember from when I was a sound tech, that speaktaron cables work the same way as jacks, so you need to turn off the amps before connecting or unplugging them.

[@CyanTiger]

Fantastic! It sounds wicked on my home setup and I can only imagine what it sounds like in person.

[@WindsEternal]

That's super cool!

[@jscan]

Sam, you're certifiably nuts! And infinitely entertaining! Keep it up chief!

[@Hungry_Hunter]

I have a 147 RV made in 1966 that I use in my music room to play Organ,Bass or guitar through. It's plenty loud enough . 4 being driven by a solid state per amp would be massively loud.

[@BenKDesigns]

Sam, you like, need to hook up stepper motors to all four speakers, plus an encoder, so you actually *know* their position. Then, use a little clever maths and a central controller to adjust all of their speeds/positions simultaneously, so you basically wind up sitting in the middle of a massive ring modulator.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

watch the vid i talk about it. but going to only do it to one. as dont wanna ruin all of em :D

[@simonstergaard]

this is freaking crazy... congrats

[@gorignac7487]

I would like to suggest adding LEDs, you choose the colour, inside the speaker cabinets above the open vents and putting a strip of reflective tape along the bottom of the opening on the baffle. This will add a visual pulse to highlight the audio pulse. Painting the rest of the baffle black will accentuate the visual effect, but could be skipped if you don’t want to stray too far from the traditional look of the devices.

[@mickgatz214]

[@synthshoot1026]

[@tykjpelk]

Idea: build an acoustic diffraction grating and swing it around to reflect different frequencies. Or even make it chirped, inscribe it on a barrel or something and spin it around to make a phaser.

[@freakyjason477]

The bigger cabinets are model 125, though they normally come with their own amp. I've worked on rebuilding them (recapping the amp etc), including the motors with their shaded pole motors and relays that engage an extra wheel for double speed. Its bigger brother is the 251, and there's a 'living room' version that looks nice called the 351 though it's just a cosmetic upgrade.
