I'd like to interview his neighbors.
Silly question.... where’s the audio coming from? I.e. what speakers do you have this hooked up to?
Dude spent his whole time recreating the THX intro by accident
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
razer might have something to say about that..... don't know if that's a good thing or a bad one XD
lol I was trying to remember where I heard that before
"there are no accidents" - master oogaway
this is pretty much how the thx intro was created
Newspaper headline: "Man, 29, killed by music"
Death by synthesizer. Stereo was not available for questioning.
@@daemonelectricity 👍😁
He died with a smile on his face.
Man no longer oscillating.
"Man, 29 killed by drone"
The people at THX should pay you to redo their "this is THX" thingy before every movie. It would be the most badass version ever.
I was wondering why this sounds familiar, so that why!
I instantly was looking for a comment on this when he mention on the twist of a knob everything would come into tune!
Fun story about that, it was originally made on an early computer and they lost the code
@@rarelycomments Oh, that is interesting.
@@mattdevico5747 so the current sound, sounds a bit different to the original one

At first I was like “how is that thing going to fly”, until I realized it wasn’t that kind of drone.
TheTrueKingOfSpace same
Definitely space time
I read "oscillator drone" and pictured the stomping "soldier" robots from Mythbusters when they tried to make a bridge collapse through marching induced oscillation.
but at e.g. 06:29 it sounds like a big ass (flying) drone revving up
@@GrafKrolock82 The drone that controls all other drones.

The electricity provider: "what the hell is he doing this time? "
CERN wants to hire him... 🤨
I was actually wondering how much power that thing takes
@@georgegyulatyan3263 Really not much, an oscillator is not a particularly high power machine. I mean, the power consumption of this synth is close to zero in ideal conditions (the same thing with computers btw), but the computers do heat up a lot and there goes the energy, while I'm pretty sure these modules don't heat up all that much, so it should draw about a hundred watts at its peak.
@@pyromancy8439 it actually generates A LOT of Sonic Power! That's quite scary also.
Neighbours: What is that noise? What? did you say something? What? What
Oh, yeah!!!! When you brought it fully online I spontaneously applauded! Brilliant work.

"It's about 2.5 metres to the top. I'm 6 foot" Welcome to the crazy world of British measurements :D
Crazy Imperial System! We have ten fingers thats the main reason for the metric system!
@@MrGichinfunakoshi No, it isn't lol, it's because Base 10 functions far better for a counting system than the answer to most questions being literally just "eh, it's about 12".
@@mrglibb base 12 is surprisingly good system for working in one's head or doing even-number division without the use of fractions, though yes decimal math generally works better with our decimal number system. Which... we have because of having 10 fingers. Human design is fun.
@@MrGichinfunakoshi yeah but we also designed all the rest of our numbers around that already, so it kinda helps to get everything on the same base if you're able. Except time, because time defies easy decimal measurement.
Measurements are observer depentant in either case . :)
One of these days Hans Zimmer is gonna call you to get that epic sound into the next SciFi/Horror blockbuster soundtrack..
Zimmer will probably copy paste a track and detune each one of them in Logic
I'd say
Had the same thought
Hans zimmer will probably outsource to other ghost composers and have them do it 😉
I thought the exact same thing
He unwittingly summoned a Depeche Mode concert in the middle of Yorkshire.
🤣🤣
Now that's a hell of a summon.
I appreciate your fanatical passion for building this . . . 1 - 2 hours just for tuning it. "Ridiculous hours putting this thing together", and I thought I was a fanatic for this sort of thing, way, way beyond my pay grade!
"A man soldering oscillators for 4 months just to replicate THX logo sound" Effects can be heard from 5:30 to 5:45". And it also sounds like starting jet. Love it.

@@marcusjt nah i'm adjusting for the fact he is using no computer, it will take a while until he has drones based on a thousand 555 timers and potentiometers that can roam the earth and deploy nano robots to convert the vibrations of all living cells to synth inputs :D :D
If he's starts turning our politicians into oscillators, I'll chip in too. An endless meaningless drone would be far preferable to the endless meaningless drones we have now.

@@lordyoda8555 You're just using 0-based counting. I think we're all talking about the same oscillator.

Let me introduce to you a man who in his future will suffer from severe tinnitus which, ironically, will give him the gift of having the sound of his oscillators in his head 24/7.
I got tinitus from clicking on this video
This just started my tinnitus again. Usually subconsciously I delete it out, but some sounds cause it to come back like now.
@@ramohino same for me.
Ah I didnt know that ringing in my head had a name. It's just always been there from what I remember totally just thought it normal.

This should win the Turner Prize. The Knob Turner Prize, to be precise.
IM OBSESSED
ID PLAY WITH THIS ALL DAY
I used to turn the volume all the way up and play THX over and over again.
So you have enough oscillators to build an ANALOG ADDITIVE SYNTH! Never thought someone would build that many oscillators but now you can load and play any sound with this thing, like, literally playing each harmonic. Like Harmor synth but analog. Harmor is a very powerful synth. And on top of that you can build any other synthesis - WT, FM, etc. Yeah that's so close to building an ultimate synth!
Except it's too hard to control them.
I don't really know anything about synthetizers, but this description reminded me a lot of the "fourier transform" in mathematics, that can be used to break any wave down into a series of sine waves that sum up to the original waveform.
so yeah, in theory this machine could indeed play any waveform with really high accuracy
@@johnywhy4679 well, digitally. If one could break apart, for example, the mentioned Harmor to the level where it switches the individual harmonics on and off, and connect this to the analog VCO's instead of DCO's... That's it. Of course, one would also need auto tuners for each VCO instead of tuning by ear.
@@this_commenter_had_a_stroke so, seems like you already know something about synthesis
typically additive uses sine waves, and these oscillators aren't really built to the spec where they could be used in a classic analog circuit, much less fm or additive
This should be used to portray a warp drive activating on a starship.
I think it will actually be able to activate a warp drive.

Nice description bro
This immediatly made me think: "THX"
FUCKING AMAZING
Bringing KiloDrone into tune gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. Yes, it WAS worth it.
Came here to say this. Hearing it go from garbage to what I can only describe as the sound of a well-practiced choir of bees was magical.
His neighbors are just like “what the fuck”
"Gertrude, I think the neighbor is trying to summon an optional bossfight"
Your limitation is mixing all of the sound into a single waveform through a single set of speakers. You should use at least one transducer per sound bank so that the entropy of the oscillators get out into the open air. Either buy 10 cheap bookshelf speakers or make some yourself with Fostex full-range drivers.
Agreed. The other issue is that the decibel range on most headphones is anywhere between 85-110 db. A gunshot is around 140 db to 175 db depending on the calibur. You would need either really loud speakers or hear the thing in real life to truly feel how massive the soud is.
yea!!!!!!!
wait what? he only has one speaker for all of that? thats like playing a looseless audio in 99cent store speaker.
Yes, thanks for this comment! I was thinking the same thing, but didn't know how to say it.
what would be fun would be having a 10-100W speaker + amp on each bank
You are an absolute GEM!
Thanks for sharing your amazing projects and art with us!
Maybe you can find the resonance frequency of the house with this.
Lol just one day he hits the perfect frequency and the whole thing turns to dust
Based on my experiments it's about 30-35hz for a wood frame house.
@xNapZz meaning screwing around with a subwoofer and an online tone generator. At those frequencies items on the wall start to vibrate
And of the neighbours. Sonic pulverisation at its most invigorating.
Beautiful. I love the full 1,000. It feels like Tibet. I think the 1,000 voice sweep just NEEDS MORE TIME! I imagine that there are an astonishing amount of amazing tiny details within that last few hundred or thousand milliseconds! But we'd need a couple of very worthwhile minutes to hear it played very slowly!!! Don't underestimate the intricate beauty of the sublime and godlike tribune sound you've made. It isn't hellish. It's heavenly. Tibetan buddhist monks would be envious. If you listen to their music with chanting, droning, crashing, banging, low deep thunderous horns and wailing screaming pipes you'll hear the sound of the Tibetan buddhists literally trying to blow your mind! And open it up to enlightenment. I'd buy the sound of that 1,000 oscillator sweep but played one hundred times more slowly. The perfect meditation tape! ASTONISHING WORK. PURE BEAUTY. AND ASTOUNDING
THIS
+1
Yes! 👍
I agree that what you got shouldn't be underestimated. I hope you capture any sweeps or drones or any experiments but in 24bit 96kHz and have it available to purchase/download. That sound is ALIVE! I couldn't stop laughing at it's insane awesomeness. Spread out the sound across a stereo field. Hell.. make it quad. You've created a monster! And if you have the room set up with good speakers, it's going to be an awesome thing to come visit to hear live. Awesome job!
Damn, I was really looking forward to seeing 1,000 drones attempt to fly while welded together into *the megadrone*
I mean, it did sound a bit like a jet engine. I totally thought it was that kind of done too
I know right?
I thought that was the charge dock for the S.W.A.R.M..
Same
1000 drones each carrying their own oscillator in a flying web of sound and cables and ultimately, tragedy
Wow, when the tones are about to converge, the sound is ominous, very interesting.
I know that its 3 years since the video has been uploaded, but i would really listen the sweep with some mild distortion.
The fact that the system is analogic makes it special.
I will try to simulate it via software and see if i can get a similar experience.
Hans Zimmer would be proud.

This might be what the center of the universe sounds like.
Also can I get an hour loop of this?
Not at all... He didn't played infrasounds 😈
The universe have no center
Tune the oscillators so the singles form smaller groups of frequencies, which then merge with other groups. You'll get a much more potent build of the sound, as you'll gradually reduce the noise in stages.
The fact that you know this says... Well... I don't know what it says 🤣
Good call. This may be in the weeds but just looking at the physics, once each oscillator achieves frequency it would be cool to synchronize the phases. Amplitude of the signals would be huge, might break some stuff haha

You need one of those rolling library ladders for this thing.
A "one thousand overtone additive synthesizer" sounds like a must do experiment! I.e. tune each oscillator to a unique note of the overtone series. Then use the mixer to see if you can produce a true to nature sustained clarinet sound.
Mikael Solin holy shit that would be cool, a huge amount of effort though
@@joshuacowlord2933 he strikes me as the kindof guy who doesn't shy a challenge. I mean, he soldered a thousand oscillators. This seems to be in the same league.
with a thousand oscillators, that is 100 10 note chords, or 200 5 note chords etc. The mixer idea is brilliant; spring load sliders (to return them to zero) attached to a harp-like wall of strings (to move the siders) which are pressed in like the multi-dimensional wall in interstellar (movie).
That’s a really cool concept! Not only would it work, but it would also probably be the only one in the world. The 1000-oscillator megaharp. I like it!
Absolutely epic.
Everyone else has now pointed this out, but if they ever need to re-record the Deep Note for whatever comes after Dolby Atmos or something they should drop by.

It can't be stopped.
It's gonna destroy the planet... 🙄
I programmed a digital synth that played a 30 oscillator drone, and then a 10,000 oscillator drone. Took 5 minutes to code. Both of them were Saw waves With 17 cents random detune and random Phase on all of the oscillators. I could not tell the difference between the different drones. More than about 10 or 20 oscs is overkill in my experience. But since it’s analog, it’s just gonna sound really cool. It’s really impressive that you built all those vcos.
I guess the noise of the mixers will substantially add to the final sound.
