Ha. I ordered one right after the techmoan episode too. It was backordered so I just got a couple of weeks ago and I love it. Flippin ‘eck I hope thomann is giving Technoan a commission intit!
Protip: velcro straps instead of zip-ties. They are popular in data centers too. They look better and avoid crunching hard plastic into cables. Looks awesome!
Mine arrived a couple weeks ago - and by golly it's the bee's knees! One of the very best audio purchases I've *ever* made. Note: there's a protective film on the display that's really hard to notice. Peel it off and it's even better.
@@mach1beatsOFFICIAL Thomann have them back in stock now (albeit having jacked up the price considerably !) As a seventies kid who grew up in the eighties this makes me happy in ways I don't really understand :D
dB Meter is underway.. but you already know that. ^_^ (And I see you also discovered the same crap I found out with mine, that the audio isn't sent across each connector type. That's a bummer.. but it is what it is I guess ;))
It would need some clicky buttons to mux input and output so it could keep its un-powered passthrough. Though if it did allow for this yould have to worry about line level vs mic level. Passivley it lets you forget about that. For this a simple adapter provably would be fine c:
@@Jon-yh3gb I guess the passive pass through is too different between balanced an unbalanced types that they couldn't do it without messing up the balanced signal in an all-XLR setup. Because a balun does have a frequency characteristic.
So cool of you to release a video so soon, something to watch during the weekend. Enjoyed the rock n 98 video and the mini nec. Like that you mention technomoan, I enjoy his videos a lot.
The anomaly with the inputs and outputs allows us to make a few guesses about the circuitry inside. The benefit is almost no added distortion in the signal path. It sounds like it has a group of 1:1 transformers on the signal path between the inputs and outputs. Then it is most likely simply combined to create a mono sum. Then possibly into a small amplification stage before or after the pot labeled sensitivity. From there probably on to a A-D converter and then logic unit on its way to the display. This makes it where it doesn't distort your signal, yet keeps the price down.
The movement of the analyser just seems to fit with midi perfectly, that is one of the best things I've seen on YT for a long time! Bet you're very happy with that Clint 😉
Nice demo mate.. I found your placement of the unit a little different to mine.. I keep mine on top (right under the power strip) I found it so much easier to see on stage.. I now run multiple units for different synths.. Gives a fantastic visual feedback on frequencies when using multiple synths clocked together.. Cheers 🍻 🍀🔈🎶
I once had a Kawai GMega. You may or may not know this already (probably do), but it's a bit more than just a General MIDI module. It's possible to program patches based on the built-in rompler tones and filter params. There was a big archive of patches floating on Yahoo! Groups back in the day, and some of them actually sound really decent.
Of course it's the same on the 05R/W and the later X5DR. Interestingly Rick Wakeman still had a X5DR in his rack but his racks were stolen last year so I assume it's gone.
That's so frickin cool man. Is it weird that I got excited for you when I saw the thumbnail? Maybe it's because I'm a fellow "look the lights are moving to the music and that's kinda cool"-person.
You can Gary, I searched and searched and finally found one, they are available in the U.K or Germany, it is a company called Thomanns, I ordered one on a Sunday afternoon and had it that following Friday, price was awesome as well, I would give u the link but am afraid it might take you into my account with them
I got the express shipping and had it in less than a week, if you purchase one, they also have what the call The "T Racks DB Display" its a unit about the same size, it has the metered lights, green to yellow to red, I purchased that to go with it, its very cool, when you open that likn, just scroll straight down and you will see it
Haha after hearing how you were disappointed about the crappy one and that techmoan reviewed too and when I saw techmoan do this one I figured you would not be too far behind.
I just thought to myself, hey that analyser reminds me of the one in the Sound Blaster multimedia stack system thing; remember that cool piece of software? Back in the day all cards had these multimedia centre software apps, but the Creative one was always by far the best. Anyway, it then hit me... You need a floppy midi player device to pump MIDI tracks into this rig! Failing that, I wonder if you can get a Pi/Arduino device that can play from USB or microSD... anyway, food for thought!
That really is a nice analyser. I'd personally swap it with the pile'o'dials above but I don't recall from the original rack vid if there was some fitment issue with that anyway. I'm sure I recall something not fitting at the bottom.
I saw the thumbnail and passed over it thinking ive seen this before, then saw the upload time and was like wait what am i going crazy. Then realized this isnt tech moan haha
That thing is swanky! I liked seeing in Techmoan's video where I can see frequencies being tested. Might be cool for visually testing types of cassettes and there responses
Always wondered :" why does LGR not use this awesome VU meter in His Midi Rack ?" Now, he has actally got IT. And it was sold for months out after techmoan featured it... Looks great even in ja Hifi Rack 😄

A windows 98 pc randomly turning on while recording a video is one of the most LGR things i've ever seen.
I would have expected that random Windows 98 boot sounds would be common in the LGR studio, but given his reaction, it seems not.
you mean heard? :)
Actually ... I think... that windows was running... it crashed... and reboot..... while Clint ( @LGR ).. was away from the keyboard making this video...... or maybe a momentary power failure...
its like that episode of Futurama when a Windows logo appears like a ghost with the start up sound of 98
The comments in Techmoans video was largely saying how much LGR (Clint) would enjoy one of them.
Im glad he was able to get one
Not even a minute in, and we get iconic sounds from the past.
Gave me a good chuckle.
Silly 98
If you add any more, soon it'll be MIDI BrokeRackMountain!

Very impressive. Sounds digitally clear. Looks like this Spectrum Equalizer was always there. Great demonstration, & sound system. ✅🎶🔉🔉
Got this baby some weeks ago, and it's awesome... Now I can feel, hear and see the sound...

@@mach1beatsOFFICIAL at Thomann, some month ago... Guess I had luck...

thanks
Thomann is not selling them anymore, fml
They do now@@mach1beatsOFFICIAL
Just saw the previous midi Mountain video just for this to appear in my recommendations a day later. Neat.
The legendary rack is back. 🙏
The rack is back. And this time it's ... personal!
Normally on rack mounts the analyser is at the top so you can see it better when adjusting controls. Very nice!
These videos are just quality. Would love to see some new LGR Foods videos as they are epic.
I love it when "Blurbs! Got a thing here."
Protip: velcro straps instead of zip-ties. They are popular in data centers too. They look better and avoid crunching hard plastic into cables.
Looks awesome!
Yeah I need to get some more of those, I've always reserved them for my main synth setup.
Nice to see someone rack mounting something correctly - bottom to top.
I bought a SB Audigy 2 ZS after your video a couple years ago. Love it. Nice to have youtube recommendations!
That looks SO much better. (and actually functions)

"Analyze some spectrums"
Great range of games, but the keyboard is just the worst
I wonder what a Spectrum game would look like through a spectrum analyzer?
Your MIDI "mountain" system is sweet! That spectrum analyzer is a beautiful addition.
I asked about your RB store on Reddit so will check out your Cafepress store, thanks for the heads up.
That looks way better and much more professional than the other piece of crap.

Loving it. RMC mentioned LGR's MIDI Mountain in his last video and here's LGR referencing Techmoan. That trans-atlantic bond is strong.
could watch that analyzer all day..

Flipping all those switches is so satisfying .
OMG, as soon as that text came on the screen that happened outside near me!!! I was like, wtf? was that a truck outside? I had to play it back.
Excellent way to start the video, Clint!
Awesome Spectrum Analyzer, but I wish the rack mount ears were removable.
I love LGR. Any video Clint makes, I love.
Its nice to see an update on the rack midi thing
7:55 that's the info i was missing in Techmoan's video thanks Clint!
More MIDI goodness for our souls.
Ooo. Pretty. I might have to get one of those and an RCA thru box for my A/V rack, which I'm now going to start calling my A/V Rack Mountain
I'm so glad you got something better than that...thing.
Now THAT is LEGIT!
Aahh, there's nothing like rack upgrades. I must say Clint, your rack is lookin' mighty fine now.
I am far from an audiophile, but even I was amazed at what a POS that previous equalizer was.
4:41 the part where Clint talks about Redbubble
taking down his *ENTIRE* storefront
LGR: Hi Windows 98.
PC: Hi Clint.
What I got from this video: Techmoan = Good , Red Bubble = Bad
Reminds me of my Green LED Alpine car radio cassette tape deck from 1980’s. Very nice.
Hello here the original in blue, today it arrived, very fast shipping from Baiyun China, greetings from Radio 24/7 Chile.
Love the fact that cool crab made an appearance
Oh man, that transparent Cool Crab looks nice! Amazing Midi mountain is more amazing now also

You need to get two of those. One for the left channel. The other for the right.
WANT! Don't have a stereo to use it, need one now so I can have this. In white would be nicer but ooh that display is going to look gorgeous at night.
Now THAT is the one it needed
Haha after hearing how you were disappointed about the crappy one and that techmoan reviewed too and when I saw techmoan do this one I figured you would not be too far behind.
If you could find a newer early 90s IBM rake mounted industrial pc you could integrate it into a Midi mountain.
I'm sure it's a PITA, but the whole unit would look better with this guy at the top of midi mountain. Super cool toy.

that MIDI demo sounded like a 80's public access TV show intro song.
The Korg tune sounds like Do the Bartman.
You should show the process of filming your videos. Pretty cool really... keep up sir!
That's some fast screwin'.
Good stuff, would change the layout though. Power, analyser, mixer, midi box then the rest...
don't know if you can see it, but a row of leds is blank from time to time, while it should be lit.
You had a small shout out in the latest RMC unboxing video, specifically your MIDI mountain as Neil unboxed a MIDI device.
Sounds like someone on Rebubble has a really bad case of crabs.
I saw the thumbnail and passed over it thinking ive seen this before, then saw the upload time and was like wait what am i going crazy. Then realized this isnt tech moan haha
Part of me wants wants to see Jeff from craft computing build something simular to your midi mountain but as a pc hifi music and streaming rack.
