The Teletubbies interacting with the haunting sounds of the vibraphone is pure nightmare fuel...
I was gonna say. Get the lighting right and you got yourself some pure terror there.
Choir of the damned
Yep, that's what I thought.
Please, try to connect this marvellous mashine to one of the Leslie speakers. Via miking it up perhaps?
Cheers from Scandinavia!
Hey lets take acid and listen to my instruments, argh! Runs screaming from the room...
Plays dance of the sugarplum fairies on the three electromechanical instruments: "I think we're making some progress"
Now if only the teletubbies could dance to and around that. That would be a truly amazing / horrific scene 😁
@@goldenghostinchorrific enough with the brief Teletubbies cameo in this video
👀 love it 👊👊
:D nice one martin!!! hope all is good!
Legend
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I see you two are trying hard to compete with each other :D
this is gonna be a creepy place in a hundred years, the haunted museum of self playing instruments, playing forever after the human apocalypse, what a legacy you will leave
😂😂😂
I could see this in Fallout for certain
2:20, where it went from atmospheric to terrifying.
LOL
That many Teletubbies in such a small space can't be safe...
Nightmare Before Christmas
if I'm ever across the pond I will 100% be visiting your museum

I love the combination of modern MIDI electronics controlling the old mechanical instruments. Makes me think it would be great if one day you got hold of a fairground organ and converted that to MIDI
Those usually play from organ books, so one could probably just make a MIDI "organ book" to play the organ by MIDI. I would not be surprised if this has already been done in some instances.
A piano roll, basically is midi before computers. It would be a cool project but I'd rather see the player mechanism controlling modern synths.
Two ideas:
- assuming they’re not velocity sensitive, a global velocity control on each instrument would be useful for dialing in the sound. Especially that glockenspiel might sound a bit more pleasant with a little less force going through the mallets.
- add in some ramp time on the vibraphone a la rotating speakers
Love it
Great idea! Probably can shorten the ON pulses to drive the mallets to touch the tines more lightly...
@@VAXHeadroom exactly!
Sam is more productive than most corporations. I love these retrofitting projects. Can't wait to hear some 18th-century automata playing some acid basslines
What a time to be alive, this guy gets paid to do things i could never do and its entertaining.
Imagine 15- 20 years ago no one would know anything about this fantastic inventor and musician.
Love it.
I used to fantasize about building a room full of MIDI controlled instruments like this when I was a lad. Thank you for all these videos so I can enjoy the fruits of your labor vicariously :D
Magical ❤
What a complete master of bodgery the organ guy was to have created these bonkers machines. I love the fact they are a bit or ever so slightly wonky doo dah in how they sound but they are perfect for experimental horror film soundtracks with teletubbies and everything in-between! Great work Sam bringing these beauties back to life. It will be fun to hear how these are used by folk in the future. ❤
I want an entire video and a new song dedicated to the clown-boat comments that think you're not on the ball with your projects. Your mock reenactments of their comments are often the best parts.
He should write another song about it.
Sam continues to be one of the most prolific creators who ever lived.
He's got something going on. But it's not always made obvious just how clever the approach being used really is. I guess it's fun to respond to people calling out stuff with the "I already thought of that" moment. Perhaps it's that many projects seen on UA-cam are half-arsed, and those people commenting make the same (yet wrong) assumption of Sam.
I get 1950's horror-movie vibes from this :)
Or space SCI Fi from the same era...
ha ha vibes
Beautiful hearing them all play together, can't wait to see what you make when all the instruments are running.
You are the coolest mad scientist.
I'm fascinated by all of this.
“Don’t be scared to try it!” Words to live by, my dude
This takes me back to a TV program for kids from the 70's called 'Vision On' where they would play a piece of music while showing drawings sent in by viewers, in the 'Gallery'. I didn't know it was a Vibraphone used on the track until now. I just looked it up and it's called Left Bank Two. You learn something new every day!
Yeah... I was about to leap on the reply button and say Left Bank Two.
You're Mad, I tell you... Mad! And awesome. 🥰👍
My dad has converted a marching band type xylophone to midi using solenoids and homemade beaters , it duets with his home built fairground type organ very nicely , he then went on to add a bell ringer using hand bells and solenoids/ beaters , the midi converters you are using g look very similar , if not the same as he uses, he’s also added wireless midi transmission to reduce cabling between organs , he’s 82 !!
LOVED that sugarplum fairy bit, sounded enchanting. Cant wait to hear more of this beast !
Super nice!
(this is a side-note as in 'plainly difficult' sense ;) but I've been taught to put wheel diodes (the ones you're cutting off) as near to the coils of electromagnets as possible, as /back in the day/ the protection diodes embedded in the drivers were only good enough to handle transients inducing in the connection wires (if the driver-to-wire lenght is substantial)) there are specialized two-way transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes these days, that work no matter which way the voltage goes... much beefier than anything that can ever be in a chip :) )
Cheers for the pointers! Having not done that and relying on the built in protection diodes has not had any instances of failure in 2 years of regular use. I'll probably just stick with what I'm doing. But cheers!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Maybe being a bit dense, but don't really even understand what the diodes are protecting against?
@@2760ade Coils have this fun odd way of storing energy through electrical induction. Those for the solenoids moving the mallets are no different. You're just giving the stray currents from that another path to use so it doesn't feed back into where you don't want it. (Maybe not the best explanation, but I hope that's the gist of it.)
@@pauljs75 Thanks for that! Very well explained actually, as I understand now!😀
Oh wow Sugar Plum Fairy sounds just incredible!!! 💜💜💜
really getting good value out of that MIDI PCB design! love it
The cockenspiele sounds like someone is hitting a drawer full of cutlery.
The what? 😂
@@personalwatching9312 ooh....
You and your unlimited energy are an absolute inspiration sir!
Thank you so much.
You know what you’re doing dude. Bloody brilliant!
Sugarplum Fairy was gorgeous, thanks!
Tiny request: a little speed indicator line on the Vibraphone belt so we can see it going along.
i did like you saw the spiral in the vid, but i found it ran better the other way around. and by the time i realised i had lost my sharpie
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER those things always disappear like they've got legs. It's like a conspiracy.
This is crazy. Thank all the good in the world that you exist.
"Is blue and white Southampton?"
Portsmouth: "So you have chosen.... Death ☠️"
that vibraphone is so gorgeous
It sounds so damn beautiful! I literally cried
Wow! What an accomplishment! I'll bet Anitra's Dance would sound amazing on that.😍
I was hoping you'd play Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies when you were putting those all together and I wasn't disappointed! That vibraphone sounds so much better with the stepper as well.
Those new instruments are giving me 70s/80s Mall Vibes! 💯
Edward Scissor hands intro music springs to mind with this.
2:22 "One, two, Freddy's coming for you..." 🤣🤣
I'm looking forward to hearing this with Joans organ. Love the updates.
This is my favorite video by far I just love the sound of the vibes I’ve got to make it to your museum one of these days
That musical demonstration of the instruments together was fantastic !
That organ is straight outta Compton. Perfect for G Style funk.
6:32 chefs kiss 👌
Beautiful rendition of the sugar plum fairy.
John Brion? ❤ I need a midi controlled Vibraphone. Sam this is amazing and a dream come true 👏🏼
I really need to visit this place some day.
I am always amazed at your skills and ability to bring these long lost items back to life. Your engineering knowledge and musical talent is quite spectacular. I look forward to every video, especially the telephone episodes.
Right as I was about to write "Bourrée in E minor, would sound awesome on it" you started the sequence of it.
Your legend status is growing!
Thanks ever so much for the delightful inspiration!
Teletubby Glockenspiel is your new drag name now. Loveliness! Mike was right, the motor is quiet as a mouse under a broom. And when it plays the Nutcracker, it's just nuts!
Haha teletubbie glockenspiel! I'll
Take it!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 enjoyed it, appreciate you putting all that together, it worked out really nice, very cool sound!!
6:46 is like one of those Animusic videos in real life 🤩
Dude can give the marble machine a run for its money if he sets up a MIDI orchestra with all his different instruments.
i know nothing about whats going on, but i love the fact that you are taking all this older music tech and resto-modding it with the newer tech to work. it sounds amazing and is really neat. i only found this channel a few months back looking for an arduino project for my little brother. been watching the videos since
Those sounds made my soul happy. Thank you for sharing
Red and Black ❤ up the Cherries!
I'm sure my uncle will be delighted to learn that his favourite team is the ground wire
2:20 Never seen nothing as creepy as that scene right there before. I'd say even lights off couldn't make that creepier.
The heads of the Glockenspiel "hammers" are wooden, right? Sound very harsh to me... I'd change them with rubber ones to soften the sound... But this is just me. Awesome work, mate.
its not just you
if they are rubber then they are the same as the lower. they just need some fine tuning
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER i know,but maybe just a layer of tape or two to cut the edge..
The final section starting at 6:50 really reminds me of the old Animusic videos
Sounds nice and warm and tasty.
Now you don't need a DX7 anymore. HELL it sounds so blooddamn good!
Fantastic tones!
I dont understand half of what you are talking about or doing but I love watching you tinker with thingamajigers and dodads.
Wonderful work
You are great! Thanks!
Very cool. I'm always impressed with electro-mechanical music. I love the classic museums and collections. Sam has the mad science version of it all. Super duper cool.
Sounds amazing
Brilliant to see these instruments getting migrated into modern times.
Absolutely love this!
I love that one note near the very end that fails.
All while Martin continues to subminimicrooptimize, making progress towards the revision of the proposal to build the worlds' best marble machine. Congratulations on the speed with which you add to this leviathan.
Now you just need to build a single rack that partially overlaps the three assemblies to save space and make it less wibbly-wobbly.
4:20 Beautiful sound ...Should play the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood theme on it! It was a dead ringer for the glockenspiel sound they used.
Your content makes me cry its so good omg I've got it playing through analog reverb and its fantastic stuff your doing!
Awesome!
This made me want to buy a glockenspiel myself and start soldering. But then I remembered I have no talent at all.
2:20 These are the things of dreams and nightmares. 🙂
I love you doing what you do with all the old tech. Reminds me of myself. I once played my bari-sax with a vacume
ooooo I'd like to hear it with the organ playing Davy Jones theme!!!
very nice project ! It sounds quite like the celesta.
That's a really cool setup great choice of song to play on it really works and yeah the right a lot of modern servo drivers seems to improve considerably I replaced all the ones on my 3D printer and now it's really quiet 🤫🤫🤫
Thanks for being creative and sharing it with the world. I hope one day I can make it across the pond to go see your playland.
Dance of the SPFs was excellent 👌 cracking work
Enchanting sound!
Love these videos, but some recommendations from a percussionist and drum tech,
You might want to look into new mallets for the instruments, especially the vibraphone. Since it's using rubber mallets, they have likely gotten much harder over the years than they originally were.
Also it's sounds like the mallets are resting on the bars to long on the glockenspiel, or mallets are in rough shape. It's also possible that it's not quite hitting an ideal place on the bar, since there is too much stick definition compared to the actual pitch of each bar.
Overall everything still sounds pretty good for how old they are and how long it's been since they were properly serviced.
cheers! it takes time. many finnickety bits with this. like joans organ i smooth that sort of trivial stuff out as i work on the larger bits, some of the beaters hit correctly. some are a couple of millimetres out and end up resting sometimes. it should be assumed as an ongoing mechanical project this sort of stuff is ironed along the way
What a trip
freaking AWESOME!
This is wild! My new favorite invention of Sam's, I think. Someday I'd love to visit the museum!
Fabulous as always ! I don't imagine these ever played as well in their previous home, I do wonder if the odd little synth section survived - he had two keyboards mounted on the wall, that each had pulldown magnets attached to the keys, and other solenoids to shift whatever the voice settings were on the top, all very mad.
I'll be interested to see what you make of the other bits and bobs that are coming your way ! I shall keep an eye out when we are there next month for anything else I think would suit your collection.
next vid is on the funny string synth!!!! hopefully see you in a couple of weeks!
yeah next month i should be there too. but we will be working around you. so wont be in the way of your loading plans. we got a bunch of other none organ related stuff to get out also. so lots of work on. but yeah looking forward to chatting!!!! and working it oooot!!!! see you ssooon :D
this is the best channel on the planet... on THIS planet actually
Absolutely fantastic - sounds hauntingly beautiful!!! As usual, you've done an awesome job of bringing something back to life that might've been forever forgotten - congratulations and thanks!! Now you just need to add your Signature Automated Music (SAM) LEDs on all the solenoids 😁
Absolutely beautiful, brilliant work
Great job Sam, imagine showing up with your own programmed sequencer and play your own arrangements, that would be awesome.
You have inspired me to buy 244 14 pin relays and 122 5 pin relays to make a rackmount unit for my 1958 Hammond C3 to bypass the keys and make it capable of playing and recording midi. If only I had a job and had money to do it.
incredicle , and lovely
You are one talented nutter you know that? And I love it
Merry Christmas!
This is one of the best channels on youtube... totally enjoyable!
Not much beats that sound. Cuts straight to the soul!
