@@raultp2048 thank you!

Praise be, praise be 🙏 🤖

I’d say I’ll sell you this one but there’s a non-zero chance that after all the sketchy wiring in it, it ignites and burns your house down. If you want to get something similar, you could get one of the big-box Big Muff Pi pedals, learn a bit about soldering and circuit bending, and make a stupid circuit-bent noise box yourself! Anyway, thanks for watching!

@@conniemiller5125 thanks very much!

I'm just on TH-cam for now--thanks for watching! If you were looking for weird noise/ambient stuff like this, which streaming service would you use, out of curiosity?

@@MLoerAudio i use soundcloud mostly

@@Ambermachinesatan I’ll keep that in mind if I end up producing some more serious stuff-thanks!

Online pedal building supply company called LoveMySwitches. These knobs fit ok but not perfectly-you need to use a little screwdriver to tighten the grub screw, but sometimes they still get loose and pop off. I wish there were a better fitting option but this is the best I’ve found so far

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!! If I’m ever in the UK (that’s what you mean by SWUK) someday, I will 100% take you up on that!

Thank you so much!!

Hmm, no MIDI stuff in this one, I think. Often in my videos you’ll see me using a MIDI mixer to control VSTs on my computer. In this case there are some plugins doing post processing, but all the sounds are coming from the mixer wired up into feedback loops, including some pedals. It’s called the no-input mixing technique. Check out Kilo Llama’s explanation if you’re curious: th-cam.com/video/P6WJt8ycOsc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oSZj9ld78nV7k4_Q

smell, too!

Thank you!!

Thanks for listening!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Satan, of course!

Thank you very much! Agreed about the dynamics

All through the magic of way too many audio plugins. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!

Yes, feel free! Only condition is you’ve gotta send me what you make with it, if it ever finds its way into a song

@@MLoerAudio Will do 😎

Yeah bro that loop was kinda heat

That's right! All you need would be some kind of noise making device (cheap piezo pickups or mic or whatever), a way to get the sound into your computer (look for used audio interfaces), a laptop, and then you can get the free trial of Reaper, which includes tons of free native audio plugins (including various distortions, reverb, delay, pitch, ring mod, tremolo, along with a bunch of other random stuff). The black mixer I have is just a MIDI device--each knob is mapped onto the wet/dry blend of different audio plugins running in Reaper. You don't even need the mixer--you could do that all with just the laptop, it will just be a bit slower. Enjoy!

​@@MLoerAudioThanks a lot! To be honest, I’m actually from Russia and this topic is not developed at all here, at least someone suggested it!

​@@voyage_1984 Hit me up if I can help you figure it out 🤘

Necessarily

Thank you so much!

Thanks very much for watching! Definitely more MIDI devices to come.

@@codydaythanks for watching!

Thank you very much! For me it’s more about variety and experimentation than any one plugin. So first check out all stock distortion/saturation plugins in your DAW. Then play with combinations: stack two distortions, run reverb into distortion, or distortion into a ring mod into convolution into another distortion. I love convolution reverb for weird textures. Then do that but also add an LFO on a few parameters and suddenly the whole mess is constantly mutating and warping. A nice free distortion is Unplugred’s Prisma. Kind of a random one too but I love and constantly use Audiority’s Harmonic Maximizer (not free but cheap), a multi band saturation, which helps sculpt sounds. I also love their Boss HM-2 plugin, also cheap, for disgusting distortion. I hope this helps!

@@MLoerAudio This helps a lot! I definetly will check the free plugin :)

You’re too kind!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thanks so much! I have plans to revivify the adding machine as a giant, steampunk-looking MIDI controller, so it's all good.

Thanks so much! I felt good about it! It was definitely hectic to get my rig packed up and transported somewhere. Was waiting for something to break or stop working basically the whole time. There were some hiccups for sure, like I wasn’t happy with the signal chain for the piezo pickup in the adding machine, so it wasn’t as audible as I wanted it to be. From here I want to figure out how to make my rig more compact and portable. But overall very happy for a first gig! Thanks so much for watching!

Never

Thanks so much!

Lots and lots of reverb! Or convolution, which often ends up being more interesting than reverb. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thanks so much! New version is in the works. Actually swapping the pushbottons for toggle switches, most likely. Then 4 extra knobs that function as an envelope filter, for a lot more interesting dynamics as different effect parameters fade in and out. Just waiting for the toggle switches to arrive…

oh yeah and it has builtin usb support!

Sold! Yeah getting USB functionality would make it even more minimalist, it’s true. Will look into that for future builds. I had a couple Arduino Unos lying around which is what I’ve been using

@@MLoerAudio and maybe even a custom circuit board and enclosure too 👀

@@carteeeeeeeeeedefinitely!
