Vacuum Tube Atari Punk Console + MAY UPDATE

[@johnthomas1422]

You call it a museum but this is an interactive art studio, and I love it. The longer you keep this museum running, the older and cooler everything in it gets. Imagine kids 60 years from now in this museum, using working electronics from generations gone by... keep it up!

[@curtishoffmann6956]

Yay! We'll be able to call into the museum and prank the visitors! This IS the future we've all dreamed about!

[@UsagiElectric]

Hey, that's awesome! Thank you so much, it's really wild to see it on the other side of the planet. If you need any help getting the replica squared away, shoot me a message!

[@KeritechElectronics]

Hell yeah, it's absolutely awesome :)

[@myfaveyoutube]

You rock @usagi

[@zetaconvex1987]

Tacheon Plus in a VHS player? You recording television programmes from the future, or something? It's all fun and games until someone causes a temporal paradox that fractures the space-time continuum

[@connorfees6034]

So proud of you Sam, been watching since the furby organ and to see you just explode in knowledge and create your own amazing space is really awe inspiring. Hope you can keep this up forever and keep adding to this incredible museum you've made. Until the Google counter you made finishes, cheers mate

"the first step of making the toilet musical", i busted out laughing

[@swampface]

already the best museum going for music and experimental shenanigans in my opinion .. so excited every-time more is added! musical toilet!!!! :)) top stuff x

[@ourhudlathome8885]

Visited the museum this weekend, what a brilliant collection of electricals/electronics. Love all the hands on stuff, you wouldn't have that in somewhere more formal. This place is a real gem, well worth a visit, we'll done Sam. Where else can you play with a CR-78?

[@sparkyprojects]

When you do point to point, using tagstrip would be cool ;)

[@DrMurdercock]

A Live stream feed of a machine that let us draw with the phone would be amazing. COuld be like a long range message board thing

[@mattbutler5095]

The little punk console you was playing with in This video, reminded me of a 90s Reece bass , if the octave was 2-3 lower , great video as always, and please continue with the greatness Sam , best of luck with everything and happiness to everyone 👍

[@kioshiki4519]

Sounds awesome, I really need to get time to visit the museum. I just recently found Usagi Electric by chance and only just watched his video making that the other day 😄

[@reggiep75]

A good way to get people interested in the modular synths would be to make APC's with modules - with an OSC, LFO & VCA. I'm glad to hear the museum jingle is still on the end of the video, good stuff 😂👍

[@jannepeltonen2036]

Usagi Electric? Fancy running to him here :D

Cool, box, that awesome little speaker, looks adult. but keep in mind, it's important to have the correct heater voltage (6.3V) and the access to the needed amps, it's absolute necessary that it's noise free. if the heaters produce noise it will affect the triode and produce noise giving a false impression. use some LM317 regulator (a online voltage divider calculator) and various electrolytic/ceramic capacitors in parallel till it's absolute silent with all the tubes connected. there was a recent thread on groupdiy about that. using resistors between capacitors to filter and make the output stable, noise free. a pure must. from the datasheet of the 12AX7 says something like 150 mAmps for one heater. that's way more than the average module you have build. Power = Volt x Amps, to calculate power, needed to choose the right type resistor, 1/2 watt resistors might not cut it, but you can put them parallel to achieve 1, 1,5 or 2 watt. check the power consume if you add the 4 tubes and see. just take a extra moment.

[@AnalogDude_]

did you know that the Valve was a product of Thomas Edison? As he wanted to use (push) DC power, he had a problem that his light bulb filament that always failed at the positive terminal. KZbin is magic.

[@KiR_3d]

Your stuff is amazing, Sam! :)) I hope to visit your place some day and see/touch/play your showpieces!

[@chrisbullock613]

I feel like smashing valves into my eyeballs could be the next step in making my music performance more visceral

[@ches74]

Oooooh, a musical toilet you say. What's the plan, selling a range of bean based snacks? After all, they are the musical fruit!

[@crunchothspinejustins.6148]

Looks pretty cool

[@dykodesigns]

The tube based atari punk console sounds like a racing game on an actual atari. It’s genuine 8 bit engine noise.

[@andrew.colbeck]

I've loved watching you on this journey man, patreon signed up! ❤️

[@AndrewAHayes]

The Atari Punk was my very first musical project!

[@myfaveyoutube]

Reminds me of the dually

[@KeritechElectronics]

Oh dear. 40 seconds into the video and i'm having a multiple nerdgasm already. Better than any kind of papa-oscar-romeo-november! Nakazoto does a lot of absolutely fuckin' rad stuff, I love his channel and the community around it (be sure to check out the Discord server!). Retro-computer fans will surely enjoy an all vacuum tube implementation of MC14500 logic, and Centurion minicomputer restoration project :)

[@U014B]

That Atubi Punk Console is screaming for theremin antennae. ...or it's just screaming for no particular reason. Either or.

[@Veptis]

How does an analog vectorscope actually work?

[@Fender420]

👍👍

[@hugodc1225]

I though it was related to Atari Teenage Riot xD

[@McTroyd]

Not gonna lie... a musical toilet sounds scary. 🤣

[@hellhound-si5oz]

So I take it you have speakers in the toilet so you can hear it all

[@timbermicka]

This thing sounds almost "alive"

[@WRKFLO]

my bathroom is PLENTY musical.

[@GizzyDillespee]

Do you have a musical bum we can hear? I'd love to listen to your music album!
