I am convinced that the owner of your local electricstore, has an picture of you next to his bed, which he i kissing every night before going to sleep.
Thats so much electronic parts and Cable xD !Customer of the Century !
I saw your Ted Video this Week ! You doin amazingly well.
Greetings from Germany !
Rambo Zambo Hahahaha good one. Rapid electronics did email me once saying they usually ask regular customers what the heck they do. I replied and told em and they never replied again :(
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Maybe they didnt even know, you can do something like that, with their products. Or you obliterated their limited understanding of electronics, with your omnipotent wisdom :) They still crumble in fear i guess !
Pretty darn impressed. LMNC you rock!!!
Hahaha noice comment
Cool name.
8:07 is a shuffle. That's hard to get from a standard sequencer. Awesome rhythms.
You're make-videos are very informative. You have the gift to explain this so that i can understand.
The genius we needed, not the genius we deserved.
I love the way you think about electronics. Like you I find programming tedious!
Living on the East Coast US, really enjoying getting your videos to watch in the AM before the wageslave grind, keep it up!
This is just one of the reasons I'm happy to be a patron. My first and only.. ;-)
thanks jokke :D. ill keep making project!!!! till i cantno more haha
Right so two weeks ago we’ve released a downsampling/bitcrushing channel strip based on an S&H and now you release this.
And I think you kinda invented the Turing Machine again... check out our video on the Drum Fountain, it kinda works with the same basic principle but only sends out a trigger/midi on the first bit of each cycle. Three of those in a module with an LED strip instead of single LEDs and bobs yer uncle!
George Kay oh cool! I didn’t see the sample and hold nice! Yeah it’s a cool way to do butcrushing ain’t it! Sorry not ripping you off :D... the hive mind hahaha. I been messing with this stuff since Christmas. But will deffo check out the vids!!!!
ive just put your link in the pinned omments :)
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER wow, thank you so much man! I wasn’t accusing you of ripping us off, we’ve found the idea in some forum and I’m sure so did you. It’s a common enough technique. We’ve been messing with it since roughly Christmas as well, guess it’s the universe telling the world we need more cool effects!
Your videos have actually helped me , with my corona-anxiety, - i suffer much from this "thing" with the virus, you got me so far i bought a mono synt, an used arturia minibrute and i have real fun with twisting the knobs! - thanks to you! - Levi
Your passion for learning and killer attitude is why I subscribed and continue to support your projects. Also watching those LEDs count up in Binary along to the oscillator was awesome.
3:20 Mind = blown
Dude, please do a 3 times bigger 24 bit version of it and show how normal music looks like through it!
Look mom reinventing the computer!
Mirodin hahahahaha
This guys enthusiasm is infectious...
The advantage of using logic chips instead of microcontrollers is speed. You can do stuff with logic chips at audio rates that even the best microcontroller would struggle with. For instance, I've been obsessed with SID chips recently, and the equivalent 'sample rate' they achieve on the waveform generator is higher than what's possible with an overclocked teensy running at 1GHz. It's debatable whether the human ear can tell the difference though!
amen to that
The patch from 7:25 to 7:55 was freaking awesome! Especially the last few seconds almost sounded like a finished track!
jannnnnnngly
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER those bleepy sounds right before the end of that section were killer
This feels similar to the Music Thing Modular, Turning Machine for eurorack. It's a great module that comes in a DIY kit and can do more than just randomized trigger sequences. It can even be expanded for additional trigger outputs. This is a pretty rad take on the idea of Sample and hold.
It feels like a refreshing shower in the morning. Very nice!
I really like to see this kind of thing, because I like watching videos of people working with electronic parts.
sam you are a pioneer of many things. you are my punk hero... I hope you all the best, love !
I'm proud of you for diving into the deep end of the pool. This is really cool.
That voice over was amazing. Such great content every video.
I like this a lot. Tempted to make a version to fit in my Eurorack :)
I laughed a lot when you used one of my favorite album of my favorite duo ever to indicate a RAM ahahahah
This is the most BADASS piece of tech I've ever seen 😱 Great work man!!!
Very clever, Sam! I think I actually have some ADC chips lying around from a build I never made. This is really cool because it gives the illusion of random while still being repetitive.
Screw coding haha. Seriously though all you need for a basic electronic drum machine is a 555 timer with variable timing, a coupule cd4017's cascaded for the sequencer/counter (connect all outputs to the reset pin via a muti position switch so you can select the amount of steps, also connect all the 4017s outputs to a switch matrix with appropriately placed diodes (one switch for each instrument) connect all the outputs of the instrument select switches via more diodes to drum synth circuits stolen from the boss dr55 and or roland analog drum machines.
Hard to explain without a schematic but yeah rant over :p
PracticalCat yep! I’m working on a sequencer using logic however not 4017’s whilst they are good at some things they have a few set backs. Still very nice tho!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Your right they are limited, that being said i have made an automatic washing machine that is controlled by a 555, a 4017 and a "diode rom" / diode matrix for the program!
Your sample and hold Idea is very interesting btw! Sounds cool.
PracticalCat ha awesome
@@att6915 eww haha :p
It's nearly an algorithmic sequence generator. I'd never think of this. Incredible!
Fantastic idea. Simple, efficient, and deliciously random ! Thanks for sharing
It's the craziest self-playing module I ever seen! )))
Liked the design and layout..neat breadboard. Gr8 result!
A similar concept to Xoac's Drezno - I love these weird modules
I like this LDNC: Look Dad, No Controller.
Wow. Didn’t look like this was going anywhere until it did. congrats...
nice video DIY project 👍
0:55 Damn, I almost spit my tea out when you made that "Logic Gates" joke, haha
I think you would have single handily kept the likes of Tandy and Mapins going. Quality video as always, love your energy and zest.
Amaze me everytime i come check latest vid. 😁 keep adding to that crazy wall👍👍
7:40 that transition is nice soundwise ..
New style, Sample and Hold-step.
Yo man I'm loving these beats
SRAM chips. I lost it XD. Mad stuff as always!
Dunno whats more amazing. Instruments you make, or music you made on it. Awsome!
Q. Where would we be without analogue to digital converters?
A. Analogue
Q: Where would we be without digital to analogue converters?
A: Analogue
@@KC9UDX Ha ha very witty. I expect you'll giving the Wavestate a miss then?
@@niknayme3754 gotta say, I don't know anything about it except that it exists... I know Korg makes it, and zero else.
@@KC9UDX You obviously prefer analogue, like most of us. The Wavestate is digital but looks good anyway, as does the Argon 8, but at the minute I've got no spare money. Take it easy man.
@@niknayme3754 well my point wasn't that digital is bad. The fact is though that we simply can't hear digital, at all. It can't be musical in any way, except if it is somehow converted to analogue first. But yes, I do prefer analogue; though digital has its uses. I'd get an original Nord Lead in a heartbeat if I had the cash, which I haven't since they first released it... If course, I'd still like to have a Prophet V or Mellotron!
Wow that is so cool. You amaze me Sam!
That's so clever, and it doesn't look that hard to make either. Seems like it would be very fun too, and if it wasn't for you a whole bunch of people would have no idea about this.
Here's a circuit you could build for an interesting glitchy digital slew-rate limiter:
Take one of those MAX5451 digital potentiometers (or similar). Wire the potentiometer section as a voltage divider between your signal rails. Wire your input signal to the positive input of an op-amp and the potentiometer output to the negative input, then wire the output of the op-amp to the U/D input pin of the digipot. Feed an input clock source to the digipot's clock/increment pin, and wire another op-amp as an output buffer for the digipot's output pin.
Essentially, the first op-amp acts as a comparator to drive the U/D pin to make the digipot voltage closer to the input voltage, so every time you feed it a clock pulse it'll get closer by one tap of the potentiometer. With a fast clock rate and some output capacitance this essentially becomes a weird digital slew-rate limiter, or with an even faster clock and a gate signal to the digipot's enable pin it can be a digital sample-and-hold.
(Note that the MAX5451 actually has two digipots in it so you could actually build a two-channel version of this with just the one chip plus a single LM324 quad op-amp.)
"Why are you doing it like that?"
Nice. Reminds me a little bit of the XAOC Leibniz system w/ Drezno etc. Love it.
Harsh Noise artists would love you haha
bro u are a winner my man!
Absolute legend
8:11 sounds like you are trying to make some hard style 😂
Your so awesome! I love how your so creative and unique.
When the drum beats started 😍
This is a super cool use of that chip
So great man.
SAM! DRUM SEQ PLEAZE!!!!!! 808 STYLE !
Wowwwww the sounds 😱🥰😱🥰
you to cool for words man! Salute from mexico!
Love to see your own ai someday and what it would create from all your tech.
You are the Frankenstein off tech!
Sounds like an Aphex Twin drum beat
Tom Hollander maybe he has a job lot of analog to digital converters in his garage
Windowlicker :)
Bet that's what Venetian Snares is using in his modular.
It does, he probably uses a similar setup
I love what you're doing. Inspiring to me
The Drummy Wonker. Lovely.
7:34 Never let me down (again) AGGRO MIX ?
LMNC: Programming is hard and not fun.
Also LMNC: I know, let's just build little computers from scratch instead.
From the outside perspective of a lifelong programmer, this is like Harry Potter inventing new types of wands in his first year because he can't get the hang of levitating feathers. Most would consider wand engineering a highly advanced topic...
LEARN ASSEMBLY CODE! You’re all into logic gates; same thing! You’re brain is already thinking the same sorts of code: SIMPLE, and closer to the inner core of the machine! You’ll be able to wrap your head more readily if you just download the AtMega’s development platform, and give that a shot as some prefer that instead of the Arduino environment (way more complicated to code in my opinion)! Buy a Zed80 kit, or try some other microcontrollers like the intel 80c51. You’ll find all the help in the world! NICE MOVES, GREAT STUFF, THANKS AGAIN!
yeah deffo! this project was quite a bit back, its got a lot more tech hahaha. but will do
very much like the xaoc devices Drezno
Nice. This is the shit I like. Arduinos are way overused when a couple of $.50 4000 series chips would do.
That would be great to record for a bit and pick the good bits out in Ableton or something. Self creating tracks.
Lee Stickland exactly. Hey that’s what modulars can be good for if you wanna dabble
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Thanks man. love what your doing, keep up the good work.
Mind blowing stuff
Absolut abgefahren 🤘
Actually this is very cool.
This guy is awesome!
blade running wonky beats love it I want one.
Little nod to AD DC there with the graphics....
that is a rather unlucky coincidence hahaha
I wonder if you would be better suited to coding things in HDL. Using FPGAs I bet you could get them to do some amazing things with music and sound and would be more akin to regular circuitry rather than computer code,
SRAM CHIPS !!! 2:28
this is soooo interesting.... stripboard! stripboard! stripboard! :D
I never thought I would enjoy the sound of analog signal run through a very "is or is not" digital thing. Interesting.
Well you're not. This block is just triggering drums.
ADDACA :D And yes, this is a graceful hardware solution. But so much more expensive than a microcontroller ;) And reading an ADDACA and pushing it out of a DACCA is also in your programming realm.
This cool
:)
Experimental Jazz in electro form.
With the beep boop beepin'!
blooop bloooooop
I Love It ! Period !
smokin that adica bruh! Also ... if i'm pickin' up what you're layin' down, this could be used as one component of a vocoder...
yeahhhh
might be of use who knowssss
you are a genius, as always.
I'd like to see this guy wire together a bunch of Korg Monotron Duo's for unlimited oscillation possibilities
cool
I haven't the faintest clue what is going on. But it sounds cool, so I watch anyways. 👍
FETT!
I am so confused, and i like it like that
& the idea of using SRAM circuits but instead trying to store analog voltages seems like a great idea - problem: that setup won't work because each transistor only has two stable positions (on & off - meaning it's metastable) & is completely unstable everywhere in between, so no, this won't work.
Pull down resistors. Already built it
I wonder what Tom & Ed Chemical would do with Sam's arsenal of Electronic Battle Weapons 🤔
Hey, I am very new to electronics, but very familiar with programs such as VCV Rack. I have built my modular case, and eoukd love to know how to make a VCO with 4 wave output with CV, Voct, FM and PWM. How would i go about doing this?
Is a down sampler the same thing as a bit crusher?
pretty much
it can reduce the sample rate, and also reduce bit depth so i guess so
I thought for a second this might be what the ErrorInstruments Tropical Noise NEO v3 used, but apparently they use a "IC GATE NAND 4CH 2-INP 14DIP"... you dont happen to know exactly what they are doing with that module do you? might be something you could tinker with.
Awesome!
I understand zilch, but still I'm amazed
...I feel like if you add a 6502 you'll turn this into a Ben Eater video...
Tim Clarke Hahahahahaha I know right
