@@truthbydesign5146 that was just a response to deadmau5 daring someone to do it on a forum? Not actually physically meeting in person? Can't find any evidence of such thing on the youtubes..

Sam is the missing link between the past and the future. I swear, this dude knows just how to take the best of retro and use it in such a futuristic way that it sounds brand new.

Hi ! for me it's very difficoltous follow you because my schoolastic english dont permit me to understand all you say but I want to send my great admiration and compliments for yous activity in that you put a great energy and creativity. The genre of your music is not really mine but I have always enjoyed your videos. I have seen others from which I understand that you are the builder of all your equipment! Also I am a builder of sinths but yours are absolutely unconventional !. I try to build modules with a nice small panel, the same knobs etc. You draw the panels with a marker, but everything works beautifully! Very unconventional your modular where there is even the puppet that acts as a bell and another module - which I did not understand what it is - with eyes and false teeth! Even a module, probably an overdriver, showed an electronic valve !!. Truly unique! I will follow you in your videos since I will now subscribe to your channel. One last thing: if you were to ask for some schematics of your modules you would be willing to send them to me? Ringmodulator
Hey I understood this comment better than a lot that I see from native english speakers. Maybe reach out to him on Twitter, or pledge a small amount on Patreon to have a better chance at him answering your question about schematics. You can imagine with a following this large, he gets a lot of comments and cannot answer most of them sheerly due to the volume. Also, the way I understand it, the false teeth and eyes just move around while the music is going...purely an awesome visual add on.
WOW your enthusiasm and technical skill is very impressive but I am interested what meds your next door neighbour is using to cope when this bad boy kicks down!!! 😂🤙
I just imagine you 30 years from now. The real mad scientist with grey hair in his hopelessly overloaded laboratory. As mad, as only an englishman can be.
hey! yeah sadly im on antisocial lockdown! gameboy synth style! would have love to have gone to CV freqs, but this gameboy megamachine wont build itself hahahah
That made me think if you got like a 3rd wheel camper but had this all set up inside, and some hydraulic thing opens the whole side so you can see everything...
I normally find this guy far too hektic, but he obviously knows what he ´s doing! ...and the idea to combine very-old-fashioned modular synth with modern sampling is brilliant and sounds faszinating!
how can someone be so good at this with all that synths looking complicated i love this world but its too damn complicated for me i wish i was that geek
Thinking back to the ‘60’s, when the BBC Radiophonics Workshop was full of kit like this, and loads of well paid technicians in white lab coats messing around at the taxpayers expense, and all they ever did was the Doctor Who theme......
hI Sam, when do you add a polivoks vcf module? If you're interested, I can send you the schematics (and do the RUssian2English translation): I have one Polivoks left (sold my second one two months ago) plus an Eurorack PVKS filter module...
Gotta love the #MadScience and hours ploughed into that synth setup and it really has to be more satisfying due to the fact that a massive slice of it was lovingly hand built that makes it all the more precious and enjoyable to engage with! Absolute great setup, mate and I only wish I had the electronics skills to built one myself but I guess I'll just have to stick with computers (boo-hiss) as that's my field of music making and experimentation! Maybe one day.. maybe one day..
Ah, good to know it's only the left channel that's missing, I was listening only on left (computer's right speaker currently defective) and I was surprised that the sound went off and nothing was done about it or mentioned on screen.
@@pasde2 thats deadly!!! I someday watched family guy, and havent heard what person A is saying, because the sound only got played on the channel i am not using xD Thinking like: what have i missed before in movies and music?! hahaha
I sometimes open VCV and make fart noises (not intentionally but sometimes im like "man I want to distort the shit out of the sound and put some filter" and that happens)
Imagine what he could do if he was an octopus.

This is a lost art. Think of the keyboard stacks from the 70s and 80s before MIDI and sampling. Props, my dude!

and then you have the modern dj who steals soundcloud mixes and plays them while pretending to twist knobs
Dude, your sound is getting much more complex. Love those delayed arps, grinding drums and gritty overdriven synth lines. Cheers!

What is your electric bill like?
He pays bills centurly.
It's probably not much. Most synthesizers run on a tiny amount of power. It's an eco-friendly hobby. :-)
He could have some tube amps in that rig, high-voltage transformers (not unlike those in a microwave oven) can suck a lot of watts.
@@gnarlysoundscapes7210 LOl. I ran a full analogue studio near the South bank in London in the late 90's, our electricity bill was enormous.
@@billB101 Interesting.
When I've got my whole synth collection running at once, they use less watts than my shop light.

You make the guys of Kraftwerk look like they were playing with Duplo Bricks in comparison to this.
You are hilarious AND brilliant at the same time!
honestly ableton and fl studio combined are cheaper than just one of these modules
Wow! Such amazing sounds. Looking forward to Christmas when I get my own soldering iron. You've inspired me to try and make a synth. Best channel!
how can someone be so good at this with all that synths looking complicated i love this world but its too damn complicated for me i wish i was that geek
This is so incredible. How did you even go about learning this at the beginning?
Back to the roots...
Kraftwerk is watching you....
Maybe. .☺
how tf you keep track of all this
