EVERYONE SHARE THIS VIDEO! Absolutely amazing!
Don’t deafen yourself for my benefit please.
Beautiful work though.
make a chord by it, like C major or Am
I'd like to interview his neighbors.
Silly question.... where’s the audio coming from? I.e. what speakers do you have this hooked up to?
On this episode of How it's made: THX Intro Sound
What he said
You're welcome outro sound ;)
Was thinking the same think, only thing is, I forgot the name of the company.
This is exactly what I thought as soon as I heard it. lol.
damnit I was gonna make that joke
Dude spent his whole time recreating the THX intro by accident
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
razer might have something to say about that..... don't know if that's a good thing or a bad one XD
lol I was trying to remember where I heard that before
"there are no accidents" - master oogaway
this is pretty much how the thx intro was created
This synth needs one of those rolling library ladders
That was my thought also.
YES!!!!!!
Exactly what I was thinking
This guy is half wizard, half mad scientist, half electro punkist, half future apocalyptic wasteland survivor, half musician, and half museum curator. Yes, that equals 3 'cuz he's triple the genius you'll ever be.
That's a WHOLE LOTTA HALVES!!! ;)
Yup. You get it
they had us in the first half not gonna lie
Brilliant!
100% right!
The electricity provider: "what the hell is he doing this time? "
CERN wants to hire him... 🤨
I was actually wondering how much power that thing takes
@@georgegyulatyan3263 Really not much, an oscillator is not a particularly high power machine. I mean, the power consumption of this synth is close to zero in ideal conditions (the same thing with computers btw), but the computers do heat up a lot and there goes the energy, while I'm pretty sure these modules don't heat up all that much, so it should draw about a hundred watts at its peak.
@@pyromancy8439 it actually generates A LOT of Sonic Power! That's quite scary also.
Neighbours: What is that noise? What? did you say something? What? What
Newspaper headline: "Man, 29, killed by music"
Death by synthesizer. Stereo was not available for questioning.
@@daemonelectricity 👍😁
He died with a smile on his face.
Man no longer oscillating.
"Man, 29 killed by drone"
I programmed a digital synth that played a 30 oscillator drone, and then a 10,000 oscillator drone. Took 5 minutes to code. Both of them were Saw waves With 17 cents random detune and random Phase on all of the oscillators. I could not tell the difference between the different drones. More than about 10 or 20 oscs is overkill in my experience. But since it’s analog, it’s just gonna sound really cool. It’s really impressive that you built all those vcos.
I come back to this video many times. The sound just brings me out in goosebumps. It’s just amazing.
The people at THX should pay you to redo their "this is THX" thingy before every movie. It would be the most badass version ever.
I was wondering why this sounds familiar, so that why!
I instantly was looking for a comment on this when he mention on the twist of a knob everything would come into tune!
Fun story about that, it was originally made on an early computer and they lost the code
@@rarelycomments Oh, that is interesting.
@@mattdevico5747 so the current sound, sounds a bit different to the original one
THX logo: mmmrrroooooooowwwwwwww....
Kilodrone: Hold my triangle waves.
Oh, yeah!!!! When you brought it fully online I spontaneously applauded! Brilliant work.
Wow !
You are awesome !!
Love your dedication and enthusiasm!
Much love 💗

Yes
It doesn’t have loud speakers hooked up...
10 out of 10, called me a knob.
1 oscillator: I can't hear anything, gotta volume up...
10 oscillators: Hmm, that's nice.
100 oscillators: Damn, this would drive me crazy in an hour!

Can you imagine the size of the sample pack for this synth.
You are an absolute GEM!
Thanks for sharing your amazing projects and art with us!
You literally just called all of your patreons knobs
KNOBHEAD!!
Lmao
On purpose
Well, aren't they?
If I don't get called a Knob at least once a day, I'm doing something wrong
"It's about 2.5 metres to the top and I'm 6 foot..."
You know you're british when...
Canadians do it too.
@@deadrose23 it depends on your age as well. The younger generation tends to use metric more.
@@playinmyblues Yes, my young adult kids are full metric.
@@deadrose23 In my experience, Canadians are barely any different from Brits. A bit more polite, a bit more Americanised, but basically the same.
You know you're not American when...
Everything about this pumps life into me. From the build to the sound of all those oscillations bring tears of excitement to my face. I hope I’m not alone? What an effect. I’m pumped. 👍🇬🇧
Nice white noise!
Cool rig!
Love your inventions!
What a nice synth.
It’s not just polyphonic, it’s KILOPHONIC!
Truth
Cacophonic
@@parrish8854It's Hyyyyyyyyydrophonic!
For ech oscillator need separate speaker ( 1000 speaker "3D sound" :D
THX: they’ll never know who to make our sound. Guy: makes a big oscillator board. THX: shit how did he find out.
was looking for this comment! 😂
The THX “Deep Drone” only used 30 voices.
INCREDIBLE. I absolutely love this. I wish I had one.
Thanks Sam...
This really is an amazing piece of work.
Magestic. Well done.
Maybe a oscillation interlude to replace some marching band ditty one day?
Be sure to confuckulate some of ones regulars
@Trumble Research Well met. I too happen to be a connaissoir of fine fuckery.
@@arduinoversusevil2025 ah yes always nice to see uncle bumblefuck hanging around!
When I see AvE in yt comments, the internet feels like a circle. I bet you watch Mr Carlson's lab too.
AvE has excellent taste in the strange world of UA-cam.
"It's about 2.5 metres to the top. I'm 6 foot" Welcome to the crazy world of British measurements :D
Crazy Imperial System! We have ten fingers thats the main reason for the metric system!
@@MrGichinfunakoshi No, it isn't lol, it's because Base 10 functions far better for a counting system than the answer to most questions being literally just "eh, it's about 12".
@@mrglibb base 12 is surprisingly good system for working in one's head or doing even-number division without the use of fractions, though yes decimal math generally works better with our decimal number system. Which... we have because of having 10 fingers. Human design is fun.
@@MrGichinfunakoshi yeah but we also designed all the rest of our numbers around that already, so it kinda helps to get everything on the same base if you're able. Except time, because time defies easy decimal measurement.
Measurements are observer depentant in either case . :)
The Machine Spirit finally speaks to us. Thank you very much.
I appreciate your fanatical passion for building this . . . 1 - 2 hours just for tuning it. "Ridiculous hours putting this thing together", and I thought I was a fanatic for this sort of thing, way, way beyond my pay grade!
This is so overkill we need a new word to describe it. Jesus...the guys at THX are jealous, this is some 2001 monolith level drone
Kiloverkill ?
überoverkill
Wel, if there is overkill, he's looking for it.
There is no such thing as overkill. Only "open fire" and "I need to reload." ;)
@gridsleep What? It's a perfectly cromulent word.
Old, i know but I can't resist.
At first I was like “how is that thing going to fly”, until I realized it wasn’t that kind of drone.
TheTrueKingOfSpace same
Definitely space time
I read "oscillator drone" and pictured the stomping "soldier" robots from Mythbusters when they tried to make a bridge collapse through marching induced oscillation.
but at e.g. 06:29 it sounds like a big ass (flying) drone revving up
@@GrafKrolock82 The drone that controls all other drones.
You, Sir, are a wonderfully creative human! Thank you for following and realizing your outlandish ideas.
There is a rather moving multi-multi timbered texture there I have never heard anywhere else on the planet before. I give a hearty "IT WAS WORTH IT" Thank You!

You just reminded me of a real-world version: Wensleydale Cheese was a tiny business... until Wallace told Grommitt it was his favorite. HUGE sales increase.
I am quite curious now what 1001 oscillators would sound like...
It's 1 louder.
Mr. Creosote?
I like ducks.
Hhaahahahhaa sick xD
Silence
This is truly amazing!Amazing work and creativity!Sounds' like a 'humongous' orchestra!The sweeping-up of the hundred drone/osc. is reminiscent of "a day in the life",Beatles'! ♥🍻
Holy sheet a museum, I haven't seen this channel in a hot minute. I forgot you had opened a museum, that's awesome, I hope I can visit it someday.
Let me introduce to you a man who in his future will suffer from severe tinnitus which, ironically, will give him the gift of having the sound of his oscillators in his head 24/7.
I got tinitus from clicking on this video
This just started my tinnitus again. Usually subconsciously I delete it out, but some sounds cause it to come back like now.
@@ramohino same for me.
Ah I didnt know that ringing in my head had a name. It's just always been there from what I remember totally just thought it normal.
Does anyone hear voices?
One of these days Hans Zimmer is gonna call you to get that epic sound into the next SciFi/Horror blockbuster soundtrack..
Zimmer will probably copy paste a track and detune each one of them in Logic
I'd say
Had the same thought
Hans zimmer will probably outsource to other ghost composers and have them do it 😉
I thought the exact same thing
wow why is this sound making my ears pop? thats so krazy! you are a trip dude you made my day! thanks for this i felt like i could hear each and every note clear and seperate from another. sooo kool.
IM OBSESSED
ID PLAY WITH THIS ALL DAY
I used to turn the volume all the way up and play THX over and over again.
He unwittingly summoned a Depeche Mode concert in the middle of Yorkshire.
🤣🤣
Now that's a hell of a summon.
ok now you gotta plug a keyboard into it and play it like a giant church organ
This is amazing! Wow. I actually really like the sound of the sweeping 100.
Such an epic sound that i found out emotionally moving. Great work. Thank you

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER is the Colin Furze of musical engineering.
I like Colin Furze too.
I was just thinking that.
Omg, I Just posted this in my discord after someone posted this video. He really is. XD
the amount of right this is.
Setting off 1000 -rockets- oscillators all at once.
That is phenomenally impressive. Well done 👍
hearing it slowly come into tune was magical. absolutely brilliant
I finally understood the concept of “wall of sound”
THX has left the chat
THX sweep is to this what a motor is to a jet engine.
Uncommon Sense Dolby got their coat and ran
Ok, I was just listening it through the speakers of my computer and was already getting goosebumps.
THAT. IS. AMAZING.
I love it man, what can I say? It is a work of art. I feel you were quite successful :) What type of amplification / sound system did you use? Definitely one that can handle a wide range of dynamics
30 years from now he will be controlling swarms of synth drones, turning every living thing on earth into an oscillator, and i'll still will be supporting him on partreon
ua-cam.com/video/NhheiPTdZCw/v-deo.html
Maybe it's just a sad commentary on the present state of affairs, but that does sound like a clear improvement... ;)
More like 3 years from now 🤖
@@marcusjt nah i'm adjusting for the fact he is using no computer, it will take a while until he has drones based on a thousand 555 timers and potentiometers that can roam the earth and deploy nano robots to convert the vibrations of all living cells to synth inputs :D :D
If he's starts turning our politicians into oscillators, I'll chip in too. An endless meaningless drone would be far preferable to the endless meaningless drones we have now.
"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight decibels an hour you're gonna see some serious shit"
this must be so epic standing there and listening to it in reality
THX: exists
LMNC: hold my oscillator
"A man soldering oscillators for 4 months just to replicate THX logo sound" Effects can be heard from 5:30 to 5:45". And it also sounds like starting jet. Love it.
The 103’rd one is slightly flat.
David Gates
Are you sure, I thought it was the 104th one that was a bit flat? 😉
@@lordyoda8555 You're just using 0-based counting. I think we're all talking about the same oscillator.
I felt the other 999 were just a tad sharp🤯
103rd?
no, the 103'd one is the only one in tune, the rest are a bit sharp.
Very cool lol I just found out about this project. Hope you're also 3 years closer to opening that museum! Would visit if this is an example of the curation going on
AWESOME SOUND! i was lucky enough to get a flight in a B52 many years ago and it sounded just like this when we took off!!
Fucking amazing. Out of tune it sounds like a jet engine, in tune it sounds like a demonic cyber orchestra.
Wonder what that says for the tuning of jet engine's, maybe they are truly out of balance? ;p

@@LordTyrus :)
Absolutly love your enthusiasm.....just wow! 🤜🤛
😳🤔 I have always wanted to know if it was possible to really make something like this and write, what a fantastic build, and it worked so well too, and it does have a magnificent sound! 🎶🎶🎶
Thank you for sharing this awesome project! 👍👍👍
So you have enough oscillators to build an ANALOG ADDITIVE SYNTH! Never thought someone would build that many oscillators but now you can load and play any sound with this thing, like, literally playing each harmonic. Like Harmor synth but analog. Harmor is a very powerful synth. And on top of that you can build any other synthesis - WT, FM, etc. Yeah that's so close to building an ultimate synth!
Except it's too hard to control them.
I don't really know anything about synthetizers, but this description reminded me a lot of the "fourier transform" in mathematics, that can be used to break any wave down into a series of sine waves that sum up to the original waveform.
so yeah, in theory this machine could indeed play any waveform with really high accuracy
@@johnywhy4679 well, digitally. If one could break apart, for example, the mentioned Harmor to the level where it switches the individual harmonics on and off, and connect this to the analog VCO's instead of DCO's... That's it. Of course, one would also need auto tuners for each VCO instead of tuning by ear.
@@this_commenter_had_a_stroke so, seems like you already know something about synthesis
typically additive uses sine waves, and these oscillators aren't really built to the spec where they could be used in a classic analog circuit, much less fm or additive
I would like it to play the 5 notes from "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" :-)
Mr E This needs more upvotes.
Sure, if you want to actually summon the aliens.
....and see the windows shatter.
Genius. Very well done!!
That is the most awesome sound I've ever heard.
I salute you sir!
Your limitation is mixing all of the sound into a single waveform through a single set of speakers. You should use at least one transducer per sound bank so that the entropy of the oscillators get out into the open air. Either buy 10 cheap bookshelf speakers or make some yourself with Fostex full-range drivers.
Agreed. The other issue is that the decibel range on most headphones is anywhere between 85-110 db. A gunshot is around 140 db to 175 db depending on the calibur. You would need either really loud speakers or hear the thing in real life to truly feel how massive the soud is.
yea!!!!!!!
wait what? he only has one speaker for all of that? thats like playing a looseless audio in 99cent store speaker.
Yes, thanks for this comment! I was thinking the same thing, but didn't know how to say it.
what would be fun would be having a 10-100W speaker + amp on each bank
2020 finally has its soundtrack.
Very good!
Earrape... Fuck
it needs a sad slide whistle at the end

1000 drones each carrying their own oscillator in a flying web of sound and cables and ultimately, tragedy
That’s a trip, your a trip, what a trip. Thanks for the trip!
Holy crap!
Simply amazing. It’s got Tron prop written all over it. Seriously - SF films often go on site to include unique things like this in their movies.
This should win the Turner Prize. The Knob Turner Prize, to be precise.
Brilliant! Lol it Sounds like that sound for the THX Intro. You’re a true mad scientist now, what about 2000?
Someone get the man a guiness world record !
Sounds just that!
My thought exactly when he turned the knob and i was magically back in the cinema watching the thx intro for the first time.. maybe it was the phantom menace...
@@blairwilliams136 i read this as *genius* world record lol
Lol please no
Gotta say this is truly amazing!!!! What a work of art ,
5:46 Wow, that sent a shiver up and back down my spine! Great Stuff! 🤯
Waiting for Behringer to make a clone of this 😜
You wanna be a beta tester?
yeah well.. it would probably be 20x10x2cm and sound EXACTLY the same ..
Maybe you can find the resonance frequency of the house with this.
Lol just one day he hits the perfect frequency and the whole thing turns to dust
Based on my experiments it's about 30-35hz for a wood frame house.
@xNapZz meaning screwing around with a subwoofer and an online tone generator. At those frequencies items on the wall start to vibrate
And of the neighbours. Sonic pulverisation at its most invigorating.
Amazing! I stayed speachless.

This might be what the center of the universe sounds like.
Also can I get an hour loop of this?
Not at all... He didn't played infrasounds 😈
The universe have no center
Bringing KiloDrone into tune gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. Yes, it WAS worth it.
Came here to say this. Hearing it go from garbage to what I can only describe as the sound of a well-practiced choir of bees was magical.
Thank you Melanie, for naming everyone's knob! :D
Awesome man! It looks like an old call center when phone calls were manually connected by some cable
Beautiful. I love the full 1,000. It feels like Tibet. I think the 1,000 voice sweep just NEEDS MORE TIME! I imagine that there are an astonishing amount of amazing tiny details within that last few hundred or thousand milliseconds! But we'd need a couple of very worthwhile minutes to hear it played very slowly!!! Don't underestimate the intricate beauty of the sublime and godlike tribune sound you've made. It isn't hellish. It's heavenly. Tibetan buddhist monks would be envious. If you listen to their music with chanting, droning, crashing, banging, low deep thunderous horns and wailing screaming pipes you'll hear the sound of the Tibetan buddhists literally trying to blow your mind! And open it up to enlightenment. I'd buy the sound of that 1,000 oscillator sweep but played one hundred times more slowly. The perfect meditation tape! ASTONISHING WORK. PURE BEAUTY. AND ASTOUNDING
THIS
+1
Yes! 👍
I agree that what you got shouldn't be underestimated. I hope you capture any sweeps or drones or any experiments but in 24bit 96kHz and have it available to purchase/download. That sound is ALIVE! I couldn't stop laughing at it's insane awesomeness. Spread out the sound across a stereo field. Hell.. make it quad. You've created a monster! And if you have the room set up with good speakers, it's going to be an awesome thing to come visit to hear live. Awesome job!
Anyone else find themselves smiling giddily as they all come into tune the first time?
Honestly, yes.
I literally cheered. x)
You are a PURE MODERN SOUND HERO !!! BRAVO !!!
He's a mad musical scientist of the worst kind...
Build a trailer around it, make it mobile in a weather sealable box. Take it to venues, festivals, and such. Different spaces will make it new each time.
