    I think this time it didn't went as good as I have expected. Maybe because the guitar in intro didn't get reproduces as good as in the original song (Talk Box guitar effect). At least it gets better on chorus ;-). What do you think?

    • @eulemitbeule5426
      @eulemitbeule5426 4 роки тому +207

      The stepper motor
      EDIT: You basically drive the motor at different frequencies and you hear its vibrations-> Change the drive frequency and you change the tune.

    • @Ratskank

    • @GunGryphon
      @GunGryphon 4 роки тому +51

      3D printers with cheaper driver chips suffer from the same noise. The harsh current spikes caused by switching currents on and off fast cause the armature and case to jerk/flex. You switch the motor at a the desired frequency and those pulses become a tone. Fancy drivers will ease in the motor current, keeping it from experiencing the sudden jerk and making them scary quiet.

    • @AAPaonessa
