Thought "only 5 minutes, this is going to be real surface-level" but it felt like I learned an hours worth of stuff. This is the kind of stuff they pumped into Neo's brain to teach him Kung-Fu. Mikey likes it.
I miss this audio oriented electronics tutorials. Those were the reason why I got addicted to your channel back in 2020! Consider making a course or more tutorials! Many thanks for the hours of fun.
HAINBACH would running tapes though diy filters work?? I saw AMULETS run walkmans through Clouds and was wondering if that would still work with diy or does it have to be eurorack?? I want to start working with modular, tapes, and minidisc. I have a Tascam 414 on the way (after seeing it used the way Alessandro Cortini, AMULETS, and yourself use it) and a pair of minidiscs (after seeing your tricks on minidisc recording I looked up and found a pair of SHARP 702’s...the exact and only minidisc player I had in the 90’s...for an absolute steal!!). Also, side question: do diy modules work with vcv??
Love your approach, Mate! crude (in every sense of the word), humourous and SIMPLE. You are one of the most entertaining music nerds on the internet, and I mean that in all the nicest ways. Cheers!
Just put this together, and once the components come in I'ma build your simple oscillator as well, so thanks so much for giving me the knowledge to feed my synth addiction for cheap as well as keep my hands full
First time I saw this video I tried the vacteol but it didn't work as expected... But it just takes a second time viewing this video to collect my forces and triumph from this very useful trick for circuit bending!
Dude! I really appreciate the way you explain synthesis and circuits! I especially like the down and dirty punk ethic you throw into the mix! I’ve circuit bent off and on for 10 years and now you’ve got me interested again in building something new! Thanks!
You saved my life again wtf! Thanks for this video man. I just spent almost 2 days trying to figure out vactrols and CV and stuff, and how it relates to digital signals etc. Within the context of what i'm trying to do, this solidified it all for me - your style of teaching is great!
Completely Brilliant. This is how the smartest people share their passion and cut out all the BS that detracts those who want to join the fun of learning.
IDK if i can thank you enough man. You're channel is E X A C T L Y what i needed in my life right now,, I've been struggling teaching myself electronics and find your videos UNDERSTANDABLE :D Much love from California. P.S. When I start my new job next week I think you are gonna be the first person I actually support on patreon. THANK YOU.
If that new job is at apple, notify the non-jewish execs that some HORRIBLY corrupt israelis infiltrated the “app review” department and have been removing apps that promote liberation of Palestine. Some of My thankfully awesome apps were sadly victims.
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER it's called "Marilyn", the episode that was on Feb 08. Also don't judge me, I was watching it with my mom. But it was super cool to see you on there, it was your 3 gameboy video.
that's one of my favourite videos on youtube. I'm laughing my ass off at the lemon squeezy sound in the beginning, the I-got-lemon-in-my-eye part and mr. ozzy the oscilator. I actually built the guitar tone pot filter with shitty parts from a broken guitar and a cheap soldering iron after watching this. it sounds horrible, but it works. I might choose building stuff as a career cause most career options society offers suck anyways. thanks man, you give me inspiraion and motivation.
Thank you bud. I build guitar pedals and I was trying to build a passive low pass. Im too dumb to use the google. But thanks to this vid I was able to finish my project.
Finally somebody who actually knows what their doing and how to use it, Most people are like mechanics that dont drive and are full of garbage info that will only help you if you work at the factory lmao
You fucking stud, this is what I've been looking for 💪. Am building a spark-gap transmitter and need a way to limit the frequency of the output signal after the spark so it doesnt mess with every electronic device in town. You're the man.
Aaah man, perfect execution! Love how you fit the vactrol part in, a nice and cheap alternative to vca's as well! Just one thing, maybe for the next lemon squeezy; Pulsed RC banks. We need to get people building some keyboards, with 10p coins for keys! Cheers man, thanks for sharing!
Hey man you got any more info on Pulsed RC Banks? I tried googling it and couldn't find anything clear. I'm new to the DIY thing and it sounds interesting
Shoot I also would love to know more about this? Also beginner. But taking classes. I understand how optocouplers work on a basic lvl. How could you use one to build a keyboard?
Yeah using the IC chips is much better sound I found. At least this works somewhat. The reverse transistor oscillator is not a good idea at all when IC chips will make a better sound, are easier to wire and will actually work when you wire them correctly rather than maybe working. I would recommend finding the IC chip for the filter and using that instead.
Because he's doing interesting videos ,for millions of plays you need funny cat videos, maybe he should get a cat falling off things in the background?
i made lemon batteries with my daddy when I was youngster he put some kind of part in it where they would last longer cant remember what it was but I aced the science project🍋
currently am working on maybe 4-8 of these for use with a mixer as an insert, so far using just one seems to be fine, hasn't broken anything so far, though it does seem like i'd need to add a buffer if I want to add both a low and high pass, which is annoying but doable all things considered, just want to make sure these wouldn't hurt my mixer being used with a ring/tip insert, I don't think so but better to ask if anyone knows better than I do, yes I am aware it won't sound that great too its more a better than nothing, and I just want a subtle lowpass, and first order seems more than enough for my needs, which is basically like rounding off guitar and distorted bits
Awesome video bro. As much as I've been into electronics I never learned audio like I should have. I was over here looking for a passive filter to buy online when my dumbass could just build one with all the crap I have laying around.
the low pass has the cap between the middle pin and GND. for a high pass you'd instead put the cap between the Vin and the input of the pot. so the signal goes "through" the cap. www.amplifiedparts.com/tech-articles/filter-low-pass-high-pass
@@jimkerak6404 I would also like to make this In a high pass version. Are you saying the in from the jack socket goes to capacitor then from capacitor to input of the 10k pot then to the out?
I wired it exactly as in the video, but the potentiometer only acts as kind of a volume knob - it does NOT control the cutoff frequency... If I use a 10k pot and a 100nf ceramic capacitor, the capacitor also does absolutely nothing. When using a 100uf electrolytic capacitor, the high frequencies are cut but the knob also just controls the volume?! Can anybody help me, I do not find the problem...
@ Peter Lustig : Im not completly sure but if you look closely, @3:53 it seems that the leg of that capacitator is soldered to the middle pin of the poti not like in that "schematic". Will try it out myself today cause i have the same issue with that circuit.
QUESTION about 2nd order RC filter! As you probably know, in order to increase the slope of the filter, you have to put 2 RC filters in series. In this situation, how do I control cutoff with 1 potentiometer? Do I have to control both resistances at the same time?
Thought "only 5 minutes, this is going to be real surface-level" but it felt like I learned an hours worth of stuff. This is the kind of stuff they pumped into Neo's brain to teach him Kung-Fu. Mikey likes it.
I've never seen a more engaging approach to synthesis, I really enjoy it. keep it up!
I am a 47yr old synth geek. Have had em since 16. I still learn stuff from your vids. Excellent

i did all the tutorials i wanted :)
That made me want to build stuff again, and I quit DIY years ago.
If you made strange analog machine and play your music on it, it will be awesome. DIY is joy, DIY is fun. One does not simply quit DIY :)

ofc, you can filter any audio signal
Why did you quit diy? I couldn't imagine quitting woodworking.
shut up hainbach!
Love your approach, Mate! crude (in every sense of the word), humourous and SIMPLE. You are one of the most entertaining music nerds on the internet, and I mean that in all the nicest ways. Cheers!
You are by far my favourite person on the internet :)
2:02 - Today I learned where baby oscilloscopes come from...
When two square waves love each other very much...
Hi
I wish my signal processing lecturers at University like 40 years ago were as enthusiastic as you.
dude right lol my signals professor was a nice guy but i needed mad caffeine to stay awake through his monotone.
Sam your educational videos need to be played in schools.
Except for that censored part. Or shall I say FILTERED?
that censored part is educational too :)
His videos need to be played INSTEAD of public school.
I'm a high school physics teacher. This will be getting played.
are u sure about that? david buckley, are u really a teacher.
you need to get on national TV!
Dude your the Bill Nye of the music world. Thank you. This is gonna be my first circuit project.
Amazing as usual, I love your fun approach to electronics!
You should have your own tv show.
Just put this together, and once the components come in I'ma build your simple oscillator as well, so thanks so much for giving me the knowledge to feed my synth addiction for cheap as well as keep my hands full

The most entertaining and educational video i’ve seen in ages. School and college teachers learn how to deliver your lessons from this!
that's so brilliant...!!
Dude, BBC should hire you. Love your videos. You are a real genius.
haha, yeah right he's way too white and nowhere near gay enough. or muslim enough... could work... yeah, he might get in if he put on a hijab!
One of the best videos on the internet as of Feb 2023
You saved my life again wtf! Thanks for this video man. I just spent almost 2 days trying to figure out vactrols and CV and stuff, and how it relates to digital signals etc. Within the context of what i'm trying to do, this solidified it all for me - your style of teaching is great!
2:00 this is why I love this guy
Yo thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, I just made one last night and it’s so cool 😮🎛 my first diy filter dude let’s goooo! Lol

Components, tea, and this channel is the recipe for a good nice.
Each time i see one of your videos, i remember why i want to become an electronic engineer, thanks a Lot, You are incredible, greetings from México
By far one of the best tutorials my dood! hahaha lemon squeezy!
i've been building a synth for a school project using easy to find parts, and you've helped me so much. thank you!!!
the late 80's early 90's tv techno punk scene was a fun time. Nice to see it lives on. ;)
Most tutorials are so boring... glad to see there's entertaining stuff here :D
I'm sure you probably already know, but one of your videos was on a Canadian talk show this morning.
oh really!??!?!?! what one?

Fantastic enthusiasm and makes sense of what is basically witchcraft.. Your the new Magnus Pyke 😀
You are great at this. I love your presentation style and your attitude. Awesome vibes my friend!! Keep doing your thing. Thank you.
This remindes me of a show from the 90's. dont know if its on purpose or not, but brilliant nonetheless.
This series is awesome! More please! Makes me wanna try building stuff!
You are a fucking genius. I really love your works!
Haha, found your channel yesterday, great stuff! You're like a Colin Furze of electronics! Cheers from Malmö!
I knew the oscilloscopes were gonna SHUNT as soon as Sam left the room!
2020 here. Thank you again. You are the beez kneez!
Quite brilliantly brilliant Sam 👍😂

superb. A great short film in itself
Sup dood?
I enjoy your shows!
I have been playing with used vintage keyboards-
Have not built anything yet!
Aaah man, perfect execution! Love how you fit the vactrol part in, a nice and cheap alternative to vca's as well!
Just one thing, maybe for the next lemon squeezy; Pulsed RC banks. We need to get people building some keyboards, with 10p coins for keys!

Hey man you got any more info on Pulsed RC Banks? I tried googling it and couldn't find anything clear. I'm new to the DIY thing and it sounds interesting
Optocouplers when speaking about general electronics :)
Shoot I also would love to know more about this? Also beginner. But taking classes. I understand how optocouplers work on a basic lvl. How could you use one to build a keyboard?
Only with Sam i understand things...thks Sam!
Cool. First time I've seen a vactrol in it's separate components.
interesting hey!
Really interesting, and very fun and well made!
Nicely done ... love your style,jokes and energy...fun & informative...
I'd be happy if you did one like this on building a sequencer.
ok cool! im on it.
PLEASE!!!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER
Did it happen?
NEVER stop making videos
its the synth from that synth for tour video, you should do a demo video for that it's pretty cool
This is like the Bill Nye The science Guy of audio.. love it!
I've learned more in 5 minutes than in my entire semester.
yeah the education system sorta sucks.. get out of it while you still can!
Brilliant mate, brilliant.
Entertaining and informative.
Your channel is gold stuff, bro. Good work!
You need to get more exposure, your videos are the best.
diy vactrols, passive filter basics, zany British accent bill nye guy? subscribed!

Here we have a badass in his natural habitat ladies and gents.

Can you explain how to add resonance filter on this pls ?

Very nice video, love the mash up of art forms. Took me a minute to ease in but glad I watched.
Friends of P
MORE OF THIS AGAIN PLEASE OMG YES LO
From magalluf Mallorca ...all love you are the best
You're a mad man. I love it.
I know I can flip the resistor and cap to make it into a high pass filter, how would that look in this example with the pot
the low pass has the cap between the middle pin and GND. for a high pass you'd instead put the cap between the Vin and the input of the pot. so the signal goes "through" the cap. www.amplifiedparts.com/tech-articles/filter-low-pass-high-pass

would love to see circuits that can affect the sound of an electric guitar :)
how i missed this channel so far? nvm. now i am here to stay :D
Holy Crap that scope-mating caught me so off guard I bout died LMAOOO ahhh dangg.... it's too much XD
Thank you man! Gotta love your work

Nice, I haven't seen it ! But it doesn't work... Still a simple a volume knob

I hope he was wearing his filter.
Nice Special Brew mug. I want.
yooo
Top show!
is it better to have a larger capacitor or a larger potentiometer when buildning a rc low pass filter?
Could you please do more of this stuff and less lemon wasting?
how can I make this work for a pair of headphones that have an impedance of 30 ohms?
genius as usual !
