    • @dengyun846
      @dengyun846 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It really is a great experience using an analog oscilloscope with a synth. One time I managed to construct an animation (of a jumping rabbit) in a fairly odd patch. Sounded decent at least.

      Very reminiscent of the score for “Forbidden Planet” which was made with similar equipment.

    I have nothing with electronics, yet this is my favourite channel. Especially with all these sounds, I am back in bed as a 10-year-old with my radio with the green eye next to me, listening to all these mesmerizing sounds and voices from far away while moving the dial slowly.

    was over a decade in the german Luftwaffe, repairing radios, mainly SEM line, i know a few of these generators, HP and Rhode&Schwarz, was active in the 1990s and we sure used 20-30 year old generators, museum pieces, but they always got calibrated and sure worked perfect, we repaired even tube radios still with SEM25 in the 1990s, was an itneresting time.

  • @kvmoore1
    @kvmoore1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    WOW!! This is very, VERY impressive!! What a spectacular and awesome setup!! It looks like an electronic scientific research lab from back in the day. It also reminds me of early computers as well, such as the Whirlwind I.
    So, this is how those weird sound effects were created for those old sci-fi movies from back in the 50's and 60's, like "Forbidden Planet," for example. NICE!!!!
    It's so amazing that all of the basic components found in a typical modern analog synthesizer also exist in this vintage high-end test equipment. I can only assume this is the type of equipment that was used during the early days of electronic music and sound effects, which eventually led to the development of the modular synthesizer. I can even recall hearing some of these types of sound effects used in soundtracks from classic sci-fi and horror movies made during the 70's as well.

    man, no wonder this was the scifi aesthetic for so long... walking inside a huge synth to turn the knobs is rad. it's so clean too, like the controls for a nuclear reactor

  • @lenni213
    @lenni213 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hans reminds my of my late electro teacher.. The long hear. And the tone of explanation..
    also the pinging galaxy shapes on the ocilator were out of this world. Loved the visiualization of the sound and "gravity" effect.
    reminded me of the DIY etch and sketch vid

  • @RPrice_OG
    @RPrice_OG 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Wow, this brings back memories. When I was in high school I worked at an electronics surplus store so of course I had a home lab with a Tektronics scope, HP200 audio generator and a spring reverb. I have no musical talent but I did have lots of fun seeing what I could come up with. That was 45 years ago. I really like the setup in this video.

  • @niklaswejedal463
    @niklaswejedal463 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    That was some truly interesting stuff! Now all the generation of the sounds for old Sci-Fi movies makes much more sense as well as the term "electro-acoustic music". A real eye-opener! Some of the first sounds in the video was very reminiscent to early stuff from Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream too - nice!

    • @cyberyogicowindler2448
      @cyberyogicowindler2448 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Those 1950 to early 1960th sci-fi movies with landing on foreign planets (e.g. "The Silent Star", "Forbidden Planet" etc.) often had this kind of athmo sounds. Interesting is that they controlled large filter banks by hand instead of envelope circuits to make these voice-like airy space timbres.

    Wow. What a fantastic room of audio. I absolutely love the setup, super well thought and laid out. Willem is incredibly insightful. This could have been a 2 hour video and I would have still found it really interesting to watch.
    I love to think how kit like this is the birthplace of so much of the music we enjoy listening to today, even if it wasn't originally intended for this equipment to be musical. Thanks for sharing, I truly enjoyed the experience of the journey into sound.

    Thanks so much to your good self and Hans, not forgetting the camera person, for this particularly brilliant, educational soiree. I loved it. 😊
    This exploration filled in a load of gaps in my knowledge around how the electronic pioneers, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and all the other international music labs worked in the pre-synth days.
    The time, patience, inventiveness and the pure vision of those early folk shines through in this session.
    What joy to get those last few niggling questions answered. Questions I would have struggled to even pin down...and you and Hans just nailed it.
    Top class, as ever Sam.
    Thank you!

    I got one for you: 'Marusha - Somewhere over the Rainbow' (1994), this track turned the Techno music world upside down, multiple platinum in several countries. the instrumental part is killer in the mid section, Chicken skin occurs and it stays in your head.
    Love parade was a free festival in Berlin and more than 1 million up to 1.5 million people attended on a big traffic roundabout, with people climbing the streetlight to see something, this was one the anthems.
