True dat. These are exactly the sounds you hear right after you fill your lungs with smokeable toad venom and right before your identity is obliterated into an infinitude of diaphonous space dust
I can imagine Heinbach anxiously watching this video with his brain churning out reasons he has to try this setup. You guys are wizards and it's awesome.
Sam, great work sir! Warning mad genius at work 🙂🙂😎🤓❤ 4:02 and again later " 2 oscillators ended up beating off each other " - did anyone else laugh or is that just my mind🤭🤭
I laughed at that. But when the full madness was in flight, wires everywhere, ridiculous modules plugged together with happy abandon and the furious knob twiddling and the craziest music - well, you could not get the smile from my face. Glorious in it's devoted and industrious eccentricity.
I was just a bit surprised Sam was so subtle about it and moved on, not dwelling or elaborating on the obvious dirty joke. Almost wary he matured a wee bit.. but more likely just exited to move along with the project.
Those VCO's work at 1.28 MHz, which is in the medium-wave broadcasting band, so if you use two or more, with a metre or so of wire on the outputs to work as aerials, they would produce a heterodyne sound on an AM radio ( i.e. the AM detector in the radio produces an output audio frequency that is the difference between the two or more radio-frequency waves). Also the 'double-balanced modulator' does the same function as the 'ring modulator' on analogue synthesisers.
I vaguely remember seeing some of these units back when I stidied audio engeering at uni in the early 1990s (or at least something very similar). I can't remember using them though as being RF related, I doubt we'd have done anything with them. But I've always LOVED those cases. There's something really tidy and functional about them.
something else you can do with those vco's hook them out to VGA computer monitors on the RGB lines.. I'd be interested to see what all those filters would do on the visual output. 1-2mhz fm modulated with about 2khz makes some really interesting patterns. and um what did the oscillators do? :D
Awesome just to see the creative juices and enthusiasm. The local news education authority needs you to start visiting schools in the local area. Inspiration for the next generation
oh yes these sound amazing! i can’t imagine coming up with this stuff, my brain just doesn’t understand electronics, but man i love watching you in your element building and playing with these wonderful creations.
"Two oscillators ended up beating off each other" LOL Most of the device names seemed completely made up. "Data Clock... Regeneration" "Double Balanced... Modulator" "Data Format" Haha 11:12 - that face! Super fascinating video, thanks for sharing!
You sonofab... I just finished drawing up my own 40106-based project and now this crazy gunk makes it look like child's play. I'd ask you how much it'd take for you to part with this amazing setup but I can see the chances of you getting bored with it anytime in the next 100 years are slim to none.
Hello. I recently found a freely recorded electronics course on youtube and ordered the associated electronics textbook, because I have been wanting to build/fix my own amps for a long while as a hobby/possible part 2 career path. I have also become interested in building synths and effects ( also as a possible side venture) thanks in part to your videos. I took it as a sign today when, in the donation bin of the food pantry/thrift store I work at, a fishing tackle box appeared in the donation bin. Upon opening it, I found it was full of wire strippers, connectors, bread boards, leds, resistors, mysterious parts AND a brand new Arduino still in the box! I mean, thank you magical cornucopia of universal support! I'd be very appreciative if you could recommend a place to start with the arduino. Maybe a few music related project ideas that could be first projects. It says UNO on it. I'll leave it up to your imagination as I'm interested in quite alot. (Note: I have a stable of guitar effects racks and pedals, so I could easily manipulate any tones generated. But other project ideas are welcome too.) Cheers Peace
I'm thinking I might have to make a binary based sequencer for my AE modular. I envision that could be really useful for sequencing drums. Anywho, I bet Hainbach is drooling over these.
I built a sequencer for my MS10 (40 years ago!) using a 4017 decade counter driven by a 555. It was a great while it lasted but the chip failed as I think the synth was pulling too much current off it straight into the control voltage input. Probably should have provided a transistor output stage.
Looks like some cool gear - and everything can be made a synth. We are the Borg, your electronics will be assimmilated, resistance is futile. It may even sound like Merzbow fiddling with a C64.
One of the most enjoyable and interesting LMNC videos for me. Great interaction between the DIY modules (particularly the binary addressed sequencer) and inscrutable test equipment. 🦟🪳🐜🦗🪰
I found a Yamaha pss-170 keyboard. The output stage is dirty AF through the on board speaker and through the headphone jack.Any suggestions out there on how to get a cleaner output? All the capacitors seem fine no bloated caps. I did a complete tear down and cleaning. Also tried different voltages 9-12v on the wall warts. I know it’s a cheap keyboard, but I’m running it through my Mpc sampler adding effects to spice up this mediocre keyboard..
I am bit tired, so I will go to bed and spend a few minutes with cool stuff I printed out today. One of these cool stuffs is an article in Practical Electronics describing the PERCUSSION MICROSYNTH (PEJune, July '83). Has this piece of fun stuff ever made its way into the LMNC museum?
Dunno if anyone has mentioned this already... but 1.28MHz is nicely in the AM radio broadcast band. Tune in? Normal AM receivers use AM amplitude modulation, should work?
The two oscillators are doing WHAT to each other? Well, it is a Valentine's Day Special!
Loved playing with these boxes, happy to see them again on video!
I tried to find the vids from when you came! Couldn't find em. Was thinking I imagined it haha
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTERthink it was on the phone, a short or something
First thing I thought when he was describing them: Hainbach would have had troubles not playing with those if he knew they were around. haha.
Time for @hainbach to come back👍👍
These are great, super cool find!
Sam has now successfully communicated with beings from the 9th dimension.
The machine god almost broke through
He’s with the Old Gods now.
I reckon he contacted Petr Valek there
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
True dat. These are exactly the sounds you hear right after you fill your lungs with smokeable toad venom and right before your identity is obliterated into an infinitude of diaphonous space dust
Genius and madness, only a few atoms apart. Love him!
This is a good setup for harsh noise. Love the chaos of it!
I can imagine Heinbach anxiously watching this video with his brain churning out reasons he has to try this setup. You guys are wizards and it's awesome.
This is where Kraftwerk meets Throbbing Gristle !!!! Brilliant stuff Sam.
would that be Throbwerk or Kraftgristle ?
😂😂@@Maddogonguitar
Sam, great work sir! Warning mad genius at work 🙂🙂😎🤓❤

That’s the most beautiful boxes I’ve seen you build. Some interesting and useful sounds inbetween the noises there as well.
As a Noise musician, I'm in love!
It's very relaxing to listen to..
😂
My favorite madman, this was a blast to watch
15:21 is my favorite part, all those quiet shuffles in the background.
I love these videos, proper synth scientist and incredibly interesting
You’re not the only one with Really Useful Boxes filled with really great ideas waiting for their time to shine! Love the vids!

Brilliant, what a noise and all those modules, wirers, plugs and sockets and you never let the smoke out of any of them.
Fantastic sounds! That blue/beige is still my favorite color combination, ever since getting a few Voice of Saturn modules way back.

You know when you've been Hainbach'd.
Sam, when will you release the full length version of "Two Errors, Uncorrectable?"
Looks like fun.
4:02 two oscillators ended up what!? Great vid
those new boxes look so clean. love them

sweetness. lovely. fantastic, more please. thank you!
Christ all-effing-mighty, this is fantastic stuff. A full long playing record, please.
Yes!
Fantastic sounds 😄
That is the first time i see a sequencer like that. Really makes itself unpredictable!
Awesome just to see the creative juices and enthusiasm. The local news education authority needs you to start visiting schools in the local area. Inspiration for the next generation
This is really great stuff! Keep up the explorations!
This video was great fun! Interesting too. Thanks Sam!
External speakerage. Can NOT *EVER* have TOO *MUCH* speakerage!
MORE speakers!
This is the greatest, and maddest thing I have ever seen.
Part II: absolute yes! Mad sounds!
Loving the R2D2 disco feel - almost an Autechre feel
oh yes these sound amazing! i can’t imagine coming up with this stuff, my brain just doesn’t understand electronics, but man i love watching you in your element building and playing with these wonderful creations.
...5:51...I got a little bit carried away......hahaha!.....which is precisely why we watch you.......from a safe distance, of course!
This was some madness right there, like an "Atari Junk synth" just for noise artists. This was wild in the best way possible.
Man, I wish I were capable of stuff like this. Great work, Sam. :D
I've seen amlost everything you've ever built ,but this one is for me the "King of the hill" 😜👍 ,thank you Sam❤
I quess that setup would be very suitable for makeing music in the spirit of Dogma00 manifesto. Lovely!
Love the ~15 minute mark chaos!
Look (mumnocomputer), that is a gorgeous synth you built!
Great to watch a gleeful Sam discovering new noises in full effect!
What marvelous mayhem ... more pleez 👍🏾
Many medical devices can also been seen as "baby test equipment".
Loved it!
"Two oscillators ended up beating off each other" LOL
Most of the device names seemed completely made up. "Data Clock... Regeneration" "Double Balanced... Modulator" "Data Format" Haha
11:12 - that face!
Super fascinating video, thanks for sharing!
"Two oscillators ended up beating off each other"
Heterodyning.
Amazing werk once again! Total f***ing chaos I love it
Couple of bits in the sound were quite nifty. There was a bit around 14:10 that started to sound like old PC speaker sound from 8-bit games
Loving the chaos, Sam. Blowing us all away. 😊👍
You sonofab... I just finished drawing up my own 40106-based project and now this crazy gunk makes it look like child's play. I'd ask you how much it'd take for you to part with this amazing setup but I can see the chances of you getting bored with it anytime in the next 100 years are slim to none.
16:11 Hey Sam, can you pull the wires and set that up again using just the sound? 😅
That thing sounds like the sound out of an arcade machine from 1982
a knas ekdahl moisturizer spring reverb would both look great and sound amazing with this
What glorious noise!
what do you think of the Mutronics Mutator?
You could modulate one of the 1.28 MHz VCOs with audio, and listen to the result on an MW radio nearby...
i love to see Sam becoming a Noise musician, its a great genre to be in trust me
Please Sam, make more Vidz of these little Noise Machines. This is fu**in Crazy.❤✌️

sounds very nice
Really enjoyed seeing this video. Thanks
congratulations, you managed to compose the soundtrack of my spectrum 48k loading in manic miner in 1982 😂
3:58 what is this principle, I can’t find it, can someone help?
Gorgeous
Fantastic sounding!
when i read the title i thought it was going to be about equipment for testing babies
Mad music scientist!
7:29 a little bit rough??? caps? ground? oscillation? I dont get it...
You are living the dream, a quite mad dream...
Love this stuff! Awesome 🤘😀😎👍
Looks like some cool gear - and everything can be made a synth. We are the Borg, your electronics will be assimmilated, resistance is futile. It may even sound like Merzbow fiddling with a C64.
atari noise box sounds awesome
Freaking awesome!

Потрясающе! Спасибо старичек. Очень интересные шумовые эффекты вышли!
Many little sound gems in all that. 👍👍
Feedback? I have one of their 17 inch "LANscope" oscilloscopes. I wonder if they are meant to plugged into each other.
So pumped!

14:15 Electronic Atrial Fibrillation
Those look to be really useful boxes.
I am digging those lower frequency tones.
this video is a good answer to all hainbachs videos - good sound is subjective haha
man several of those configurations could easily be turned into full tracks with a little work post-process!
In this video Sam successfully designs and builds his own mind. 😅
AGI is going to start talking out that set up soon…
Maybe you should Go for videosynthesis with the oscillators, they should make vertical bars…
Excuse me, as someone that listens to actual Noise E.G. Pharmakon & Merzbow...I do want to listen to any noise you manage to produce tyvm. 😉
I am bit tired, so I will go to bed and spend a few minutes with cool stuff I printed out today. One of these cool stuffs is an article in Practical Electronics describing the PERCUSSION MICROSYNTH (PEJune, July '83).

Yes part 2 please!
Dunno if anyone has mentioned this already... but 1.28MHz is nicely in the AM radio broadcast band. Tune in? Normal AM receivers use AM amplitude modulation, should work?
Just finished watching - mate! Love the randomness! Amazing what you got out of it....
Have you heard of Sacramento Noise Fest 🤖 This would fit right in.
This is the kind of wacky content I come to LMNC for ;D ;D
