Nice build, that looks reliable.
And I second the vote for Rene! I've been on the SDIY email list with him for decades. Very smart guy
pro tip: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Harley Marco Yea, have been using flixzone for months myself :D
Sam, I was at that gig and watching you fix stuff on stage was great. None of us came to see a perfect set, we came to see the mad scientist at work in a live setting. It was immense.
haha!!! uyeah totally its more for my sanity's sake! literally the drive to every gig my belly just felt awful not knowing what was gunna break!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I'll be at the Northampton gig since you're playing my home town, also promised Sim I'll catch him playing at the XOYO one too. Looking forward to seeing another two doses of mayhem. I know what the pre-gig fear feels like, it's nice to know you're human too 😁
@@squoblat look Mum, he's a human (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
Woooh! I am in a LMNC video! :) A very good conversation. Cheers mate!
ghagha you commented before i finished my email haha!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Soon we'll look back on this as the birth of the Kosmo-Rack Format :)
@@reneschmitz4845 Let it be metricated. We don't need silly fractions!
I love this interview style. It's awesome to see the people behind the wires.
indeed. i hope to include peeps in the vids! definitely interesting
I love that you're plugging people by showing how they contribute to your work, and by showcasing these interactions. Keep it up!
Dude honestly thank you so much for selling the PCB/Panel kits! I've been following your vids for a while now and been wanting to make myself a synth in the same format as yours so this is pretty epic timing. Can't wait for it to arrive!
I legitimately know nothing about modular synths yet I love watching these videos about them. Amazing job, you’re an amazing performer, entertainer, and educator.
Oh I love this video.
Hallo! Wie geht es dir Hainbach? I also love this, interviewing the original designer is awesome.
Outtro music sounds absolutely mental, I love it.
Honestly, this is so dope. The PCB looks fantastic and everything looks so neat put together!
The tuner is a really good idea. I remember you wrangling the Prophet into tune in Frankfurt.
consider having basic status LEDs on the panel (voltage in/signal out) just to make it easier to troubleshoot if it fails again.
Brilliant idea.
Added bonus of looking awesome
This is so cool that you got René Schmitz in your video. His circuits are all so good. Maybe next video you can track down Thomas Henry!
fuuuuck the timing on this couldn't be better, i'm doing diy modular synthesizers stuff at school and this is gonna be a tremendous resource
What course teaches building modules? Im going to college soon and wanted to find a course that would help
I like the fact that you don’t do eurorack, teeny little patch cables, teeny little screws, teeny little cramped space for the knobs. Give me 1/4 jacks, and room to grab a knob and twist when improvising/performing. Great content as usual.
Dude, you made a clean spot.....YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS !!!
I've got a prediction: in five years you'll be releasing your own PCB modules as a company. Also when Wintergaaten is finished making the marble machine X you should colab or remix him. He's the physical engineering version of you :)
love the pcb graphics!
Your videos are amazing dude I feel like I learn something like anytime I watch one thank you
12:46 you’ve killed Elmo 🤯
Before around six minutes I was delighted that you were talking in fairly normal way. I endured beyond eight minutes just because this stuff is interesting. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, more panel demos! Also love your circuit diys! Great video. Thanks!
Wow filter sounds proper Pink Floyd Wish You Where Here like! Love it.

I'd recommend a squirt of hot glue around those molex connectors in any gear that gets moved.
The educational aspects of your channel is what makes you such a valuable youtuber! the presentation is fun, and the music you produce is great! But the gold here is the fact you're sharing it all with the world and there will be more look mum no computers out there in time! Thank you sir, you're a rockstar for sure!
I love this new style of your modules!!
Amazing stuff! Fantastic sound you make! Great idea creating PCBs for each panel too!
You have good taste in YT channels. ;)
@@electronash Oh hey guys. :D
@@thegirlg33k
Howdy. ;)
Haha - right back at you!
I learned more during that montage of him wiring that circuit board than I did out of a semester of electronics class the man is a journeyman🔥
I've been building my own synth thanks to your inspiration with some of the designs from your website and a sequencer I'm deigning myself. Since I've had a few dodgy stripboards I was thinking the other day how cool an actual PCB would be. Keep up the great work and thank you for the great inspiration! Hope to see you in cologne.
cool stuff bro, just ordered the pcb and panel, looking forward to building and using it!
cheers other mad scientist from across the pond! :D
Hey man! Awesome work. I especially like the little skulls with the solder eyes and teeth. Is it possible for you to explain where to add the adjustment for the resonance range in the circuit? Thanks!
Being not scared to try it, over here! Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm soon starting my first modular synth. I've been wanting to do it for a long time. I'm definitely gonna be looking into your store to get started on this. I already have tons of experience with electronics and Arduino and I'm really excited to start making new and unique modules like you do!
I wish you a lot of good luck, abundance and awesome work spirit on your rebuilding journey :) love your channel and allI you bring out and how you bring it out :)
Got the PCB and panels today. Lightening quick postage thanks. Ordered the parts from the incredibly useful BOM links and can't wait to get started. Looking forward to the next release too (are you really sure you should be going on tour rather than getting my next boards ready!!smiley face sign). REally appreciate what you are doing. Cheers from the Isle of Man.
To operate this stuff: amazing. To build it yourself: absolutely beyond me. Hats off!
Serious offer: I make my money as an EE, I wouldn't mind turning a couple of modules into PCB designs if those designs will be open to the public. You will get the gerber files (the files you need to get your PCBs made) and the KiCAD project files (KiCAD is an free and opensource PCB CAD program and schematic capture).
Great tips about the soldering process BTW! Thanx!
10:10 was beginning to sound a bit like Stranger Things theme to my ears...
thats just what i was thinking
I got me a Panel/PCB set on the way!
Can’t wait for you to release more, been hoping you would do this, this will be my first module!!!
Please, PLEASE KEEP making vids like this mate!
See you @ Brussel can’t wait !
Love it! Thanks man
I love that he's now moving into PCBs, I'm looking forward to the big button, I've always wanted to make that but am terrible a DIY so a PCB version would be siiiick
ill hopefully have that project and the seqeuncer up in october. first is LFO/Oscillator/VCA bank and if i get time envfelope generators. then its onto the fun stuff!!! and drumszzzzz
shoutouts to reliability! good job on the design and soldering
Exciting stuff! You may well have a new customer 🙂
great video. I’ve just begun to scratch the surface of eurorack modular and loving it... minus the cost lol. Cheers!!!
DUDE! Where did you come from?? OMG! LIKED AND SAVED! I'm an instant fan!! What is THAT?? A COMMODORE KEYBOARD?? AWESOME! Very nice video and very helpful, and well, just cool as hell! THANK YOU!
I once built an interface to read and write my Korg Poly 800 presets to my C128 instead of using tape. Like back in 1982 maybe? Lots of assembly and made my own GUI interface for the presets. But who the hell cares?? THIS BEATS IT! All your shit beats it! YOU ROCK! Cannot wait to see what else you did! You Tube BINGE today!!
Thank you!
Love the 'Get Stuffed' styled build commentary. :)
Love your videos! The volume of the synth sounds are very loud compared to talking audio, at least on my system. Not necessarily bad, but it either makes you very quiet, or the music really loud, which I feel like is the aesthetic you're going for right?
well after building over 1000 (#1113) of something your bound to get good at it at some point, nice job man it looks super clean and I love the little faces you made out of the pots ^__^
Absolutely awesome you are doing this. I'm sure they will be sold out by the time I get paid after I move, but really cool you are doing this.
Sadly getting 20cm cut aluminum is hard here in the US so I went for 8inches (Imperial Kosmo format?). I guess I could call a UK cutter and tell them I'm in Scarborough and ask to ship them.... it wouldn't be the Scarborough they expect, but it wouldn't be a lie.
It’s silicone panels not aluminum sadly!
Great video! Have you thought of open sourcing your gerber files?
If you live near this guy expect to plug your toaster in the wall and start hearing strange noises out of it.
I think I may live near him, saw him at a gig a couple of weeks ago. There were some odd noises there but that might have been the wall of squawking, feedbacky amps.
Silvia Massey is well known for running high watt solid state amps into random kitchen appliances to get weird sounds out of them, as well as pickles, lightbulbs, anything you can think of really.
@@Evildandalo silvia massey is a genius
AttakaiMusic Definitely, while some of the things she can do are a little silly and impractical, as a newly graduated engineering student I’ve learned a ton of cool little tricks from her that have opened my mind up a lot, especially stuff the drum hose mic and things like that
There are people who live near huge high powered antennas and they hear radio out of things that aren't even meant to be electrical appliances, like a kitchen sink.
Very cool and weird to randomly stumble across an interview with rene schmitz
" you need a big old knob..."
Aint that the truth.
Zero surprise to see you using the Toy osc on Braids. 😀
Oh lord, eurorack versions of these would be so good. I'm sure many would be in for crowdfunding your work.
Seriously: I'd happily give money to help make the pcbs available to the public.
im trying to get this all done! stuff take time unless anyones up for helping haha. its a 1 man operation over here and im drowning in wires!!!!! haha
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Haha, don't strangle yourself! Yes, I know it's a crapload of work. I was just thinking we could collectively pay for your time so you can justify spending silly amounts of time on this ;-)
Dude, most of your videos remind of that time i had to assemble a traffic light curcuit in high school..
Our teacher told us about capacitors and diodes, and first we had to guess how a traffic lights work, made us draw a template of how we thought it would be done but no one got it right.. so finally she handed out the templates, after two seperate lessions, and i was really keen for that shit.. but i was unsure of the directions of the diodes.
After the assemble we tried our pieces, and mine didn't work, i didn't know why, everything was correct to the template.. until i tried switching the + and the - , and suddenly it work as intended! I just got the directions of the diodes wrong *facepalm* but she forced me to get it right to get a good grade on that, while everyone else was working on the next project..
Long story short, that's one of the reasons i love your channel
That shit sounds so good man. Way better then serum and all that jizz jazz
Just orderd a PCB, can't wait to get building! I built the tube distortion on vero and blew it up recently, haha. I still have the power supply which i'm gonna make a stand alone unit for the up coming pcb releases, looks like i'm gonna have to get down to some boot sales for some intresting cases, many boxes, much noise :D
Great vídeo! Greetings from Brasil!
Title had me worried, just bought me ticket last night
really cool demo, and a very inspiring soldering tut :)
are you running a double beatstep pro there?)
Nice Keyboard! 🐙
Is that a real Commodore Midi Keyboard?
"I'm being neat, I'm a new man, I'm a new man today" matched with the beat
And then he still throws them around... :-D
If I was to start doing what you're doing right now, I would go straight to flex-circuits. Disclaimer: I was in technology development for over 25 years before becoming injured and cast aside by industry a week before last Xmas - NOICE! Anyhow - not an engineer, always the technician...
1. your boards are barely double sided (not an insult; see references to design elegance=nothing left to subtract)
2. they're all basically very particular special specifically purposed builds; so custom they barely fell out of the dream before solidifying into shiny tambre spreaders
3. circuits themselves take minimal footprint, so very minimal material is needed if not filling the empty space with plating/crosshatch
4. flex circuits are built through photolith type processes so they are very quick and cheap to get made
5. super light and can mount them basically however you want, into and around stuff like a flat wiring harness if you like (I've made many more control panels/interfaces using flex circuits than actual large circuit instances; very useful for distributed multiplexed/crosswired systems). But if it's more advantageous on the quotes/turnaround time can leave all of that out and mount to your own ground planes/power solutions.
6. shipping is nothing basically, as it's just a bunch of polyamide (or something similar properties, Kapton-like) sheets cut/exposed in patterns - hey maybe you can print/cut your own circuits and make your own flex now that generic Kapton sheets are available ala 3D printing supply...suppliers.
Lots of advantages - flex is a go to when we need small rugged circuits in tight andor twisty locations. Love the stuff. Wonder if there are good kits to do it at home?
Oh. Yeah, I also try to shift to high availability, SMT jellybean parts...a synth chip gets an adapter or a daughter card, but a power amp - there are many suppliers of quality parts for reasonable prices. It's like doing mixed media art, really. I have built so many things... :-) I wish I could still do it.
I'm digging those special guests!
Rad! Good job
dude you are awesome , i think i'm gonna sample your voice in a track ^^
You remind me of Thomas Dolby weird wacky crazy but I love ittttt!
Super clean install mate! I kinda miss your bodge jobs.
Tradie Trev thy do still exist! And will do. Just different jobs require different approaches haha
sometimes I do simple stuff pcb-less 50s style but I use thicker wires and actually wrap them around component legs before soldering.Which makes stuff very reliable but a real pain to repair. For more complex circuits PCB is a must.
Oooooooh, new outro tune. Shiny.
Great stuff. What do you use to design the pcb, and how do you get them manufactured?
( I assume made in small numbers ?)
I'll be seeing you in Amsterdam!
Oh wow - I LOVE your big buildsI Chunky front panels like original Moog or MusicFromOuterSpace
i aint the worlds greatest kbd played but I'm SO digging this - if I dip my toe in it'll prob be 'dinky toy' Eurorac, but you're stuff is live' and 'real world', makes me think an oversized prototype would be a great starter :)
I kinda design stuff (mostly amps and FX, and I was gonna shamelessly rip (er 'repurpose) your triple PT2399 delay thang, as thats just mental - maybe in a stomp box
Meow 4 Now - Pete G n William Stereocat, Duran Nestene x
Nicely done! Do you routinely blow ICs? If not, I'd solder the ICs directly in, as socketed chips do have a tendency to come loose, particularly when mounted vertically... Thanks for sharing the PCB/Panels :)
Love the PCB. Need the pcb
Robot room's copper connector (the old version) is the best PCB program i've ever used.
Good luck for the Rest (that you build) Sam and have nice dAYs ;)
Lot of space around a big old knob 👍
This is awesome! Does it mean that the videos of the stripboard layouts from the "just build it" series are going to be discontinued?
Johoho no I’m going to try keep both tings going!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER looking forward to it! thanks for the reply!
that filter really sounds like a SID filter, great job! also a Commodore keyboard is a nice touch :)
Very nice. Need a bigger cut off knob though! :D
Oh the broken string sensation is so familiar - difference is, you can play with one string missing for a song ... a broken circuit in that chain seems like it would be a nightmare...
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10:07 I have that running thru some high fidelity studio monitors and it is HEAVENLY . . . i would LOVE to hear that in a deep house track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 PLEASE!!!!1
I was thinking about (the flippancy of electronic gear and) DIY synths long ago and wondering how often do they kick out and are they easy to fix on set but the best plan is to do it right straight from the beginning even tho procrastination says 'just make it and make it work' rather than 'make it work and ensure it keeps on working so you don't have to fix it on set'.
Hey man I love your stuff! I saw you live in Münster and it was very cool to see you do your thing in real life. That's tuner is a good idea! Your synths were out of tune that night and it kinda bothered me. Luckily for you all of my mates are tone deaf ;). As far as stuff breaking goes.. I think it's one of the things people love about you. You should do some live circuit bending! Or maybe something visual with body contacts? Just spewing.. Keep doing what you're doing ya bloody nob rubber :p
This is going to be my first diy project! 😍🤘🏽
At last. Happy new life!
Awesome interview! Will you be publishing PCB schematics and such too?
How can I get started in modular synths? More specifically building them
One idea that is overlooked by modular synth builders is shock mounting on the modules. Your modules are screwed directly to it's enclosure, so they will feel every bump and jolt in the back of the van. I suggest putting some foam or rubber between the module and where it screws into the case, that'll help reduce the amount of shock to the modules. Weather strips that seal the doors and windows on your home can do the trick: www.amazon.co.uk/StormGuard-05SR6843053BL-Draught-Excluder-Weather/dp/B00MZW6J88/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=Foam+Weather+Stripping+Adhesive&qid=1567646739&s=gateway&sr=8-11
indeed. but the ones that are build properly and bolted to the panels have absolutely no problem. even when the case has fallen from a 6 foot height from a stack that got dislodged. they were fine. sio i think the manufacturing process like this is far sufficient
Through hole proto board construction can be really durable as long as it is securely mounted, but the same goes for PCB's.
Hi, I'm looking for the link to those knobs you use on your website. Can you help me find it?? 7:46
wow the song in the end!!!! which is it???? you are such a joy to watch Man!
outro of new single out 13th september :)
best diy video
wait you never showed how you designed the PCB, soldering is the easy bit. what did you use?
paper and pen. computers are bad! i mean i would love to show but i cant use a computer on hewre... gotta come round the corner haha. Kicad i use.
