- The most important thing to do in times like these is try and stay positive while doing everything you can to help.
These projects range from cheap things to slightly more pricey and also trust on the fact that logistics services are still very much intact.
3D printers, i don't think it will be very long until a number of open source ventilator plans will be public , and will likely involve 3d printers, so if your community does not have one. maybe look into it! Lulzbot is pretty snazzy, but there are many other options : www.lulzbot.com/

and keep an eye out for more info on the online show on friday night open for all!
@@MrKritterh hahahahaha good point.
I’m not seeing the Ben Eater link in the description?
@@efkastner oops will do that now, my bad i knew i missed one
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER will you ever realise your modules in eurorack form?
looking forward to your online gig!
I keep hearing "self oscillation"
sounds better!!!
Crank that resonance!!!!
Lol yes Haha
just resonate
thats literally just vibing
"there's also proximity controls, but i'm not touching that"
i see what you did there
I can recommend Rakits, they have pretty clear instructions with lots of pictures that are helpful when starting out. I built a couple of their smaller kits to start with then i built their Drum and Metal synths, before moving onto a Bastl Kastle and then a Microgranny. Now i've gone and built a eurorack case and am waiting on a small shipment of potentiometers so i can start building some modules.
Creality ender 3 runs about $250 and is also super reliable. Comes as a "kit" but is super easy to put together and prints fantastically.
He already looks like he's been living the dream in the basement for at least two decades. He claims those gadgets are synths, effects and whatnot but I bet some of the gear is used to control the weather, traffic lights and even the GPS system. Everything you need to control the world.
We should listen to the professional.
hahaha
The Doctor No of homemade gadgets, ruling ze vurld from his batcave
It's him who's gonna rebuild the world after the apocalypse!
Not to mention the mind control method he calls music. After being exposed to it I couldn't help but hit the like button and subscribe to his channel.
I, for one, welcome our computerless overlord.
8:59 ***OMG SAM, I HAD THE GRASSHOPPER WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I OH SO LOVED THAT CAR & B4 I KNEW IT I HAD TORE IT DOWN & REBUILD IT W/BETTER, FASTER, NEWER MOTORS, GEARS, TIRES & ETC.....THX FOR BRINGING BACK THOSE MEMORIES FOR ME!!!!!***
With every vlog you post here, I'm closer to the belief that you are an alien!!! What you do is just extraordinary.
That Background music halfway through the video was FIRE
Yess shout-out to VCV, the most powerful music software ever invented!
I just recently setup a linux FOSS home studio and messing with VCV Rack has been a blast, but also a gateway drug. NOW I WANT PHYSICAL THINGS!
He was visibly uncomfortable talking about a software hardware simulator.
@@RyanWAFFELYoung Yes, it is horrible. Why did I ever stumble upon VCV, now I MUST build a physical synth!
@@Spooglecraft I generally lean towards metal music, so I started googling how to use modular synths in metal music and discovered that the DOOM soundtrack was made using modular synths by Mick Gordon( th-cam.com/video/U4FNBMZsqrY/w-d-xo.html ) then an example inspired by Mick on cradm_'s instagram using the Rings module( instagram.com/p/BYdHKdHBiOB/ ) so that's what I was messing with last night. running VCV through a guitar fx module. Haven't quite figured out how to reproduce what Mick and cradm_ have done, but I'm super excited by the possibilities
VCV is awesome. I've been playing with it the past few months, and yes. It is a gateway drug. You will find yourself starting to peruse videos on making modules that you can interface with VCV, or do like I did and buy a Microfreak, to give yourself sort of a keyboard that you can play VCV with and also map physical knobs on the Microfreak with knobs in VCV.
So far, I was in self isolation in France. Now, I'm in self oscillation !! Thanks LMNC !
No 6: Probably the most expensive synth you have ever built.
What a great idea of using all 3d printers to help make things we need in times of emergency
ive been waiting for this video for so long, thank you!!!!
Great video Sam, always good to see the silver linings that the clouds present :)
Great fun stuff! Looking forward to the live gig🙂
Looking at the Kosmo modules. The price blew my head off.
I was saving to buy a synth but I guess I'm going modular 😎😎
Great birthday gift dude ! For the first time I can't celebrate St Patrick's day and my birthday with my friends, but you put some sparkles in my eyes with your ideas !
Same problem :(
Happy birthday! Let's hope your other birthdays won't suck as much as this one! Stay safe :-)
@@saimon1680 Not sure if it was your birthday. Chin up and many happy returns :-)
Nataliya Dubina yes, it was! Happy returns to you too!
Thanks a lot haha ^^ finally not the worst birthday of my life at all ;) I hope everybody is as fine as possible. Take care !
I've been worrying about "jizz-jazz" for a while now. Glad to know I don't have to
I've dug out my old Forrest Mims Engineers Notebook. It's got tons of great circuits to experiment with! And I just got a bunch of transistors and photodiodes. I'm going to build an optical synth!
Great video idea man, I’m sure you’ll help some stave off boredom!
World's gonna end, dude be like: so yea lets see what synths we can build! Love it
Now I have a through understanding on why there is a shortage of toilet paper. I thought I was the only one into synths, in my area. Love your RC idea too. A 1/18 - 1/24 rock crawler comes to mind.
Your awesome Sam. Have to tell you that as many times as possible.
Man, you're just the BEST! Love you!! :D I creased when you said "... and there's proximity control too, but I'm not touching that ...." XD
Righteous video brother
Thanks for this mate. You're a good lad.
Looking forward to the online gig!
I still have my old Taymiya Striker. Love it! They're much harder to come by
Your the best; glad I found your channel 🦇🦇🦇
You are quite simply the most like-able person on the internet
Also, the Tamiya Grasshopper is legend!!!
hell ya! you're the man man! thanks for all these ideas !! 8-)
You are a very intelligent, innovative, and entertaining young man! greetings from sweden, Levi
Woo-hoo, Sam to the rescue. Excited to see the online show.
Oooooh, the Apple IIe in the background!!!
you look like a mad scientist mate. well done for the video by the way
thanks for all the new ways to procrastinate instead of writing my thesis
I guess there are 16 people that don't like learning.... Mr. Neegan and Lucile has some education for them...Great video!!!! Stuck indoors with my "C" language!!!
I have a feeling you ain't gonna have a problem with boredom
Only boring people get bored !
I'll never understand why anyone has that problem
@@the-engneer yeah even boring people have the TV to keep them busy...
@@davidvincent380 I don't look at it like that, but more like
There are so many things to do in life, there's no reason to be bored. So many movies, and books. So much music to listen to, or learn yourself, and we live in an age where we have unlimited access to all of it, but still people complain they're bored. I'll never understand it
@@the-engneer My thought exactly
I even think we are living many golden ages : broadcast, video games, music... because anybody can do it himself now, from production to distribution...
"we have unlimited access to all of it"
Yeah and even if you are not very wealthy... well you can have it anyway ;-)
Perfect list!! Im gonna get me and my 7 year old back on the old electronification. Gives me an excuse to buy and build an rc with him!
Ha ha ha stop ya killing me! :) I got to the toilet roll panic buying analysis section and your analysis would align with mine, you have taken it further and realised the idea. Perfect. You got the tech just right and of course the sounds were... I splatted my laptop screen in gobspray and fell off chair laffing.
I already have plans on what to build... Finally some time for diy modular
I hope you do it mate! 😊
yes man! you know the "modular in a week" guy here on youtube?
@@jungstrauma4 Yeah Sams videos inspired me to build a modular system and seeing modular in a week convinced me that it would be possible. I prefer making my own designs though, but i base them on what I see. I have already designed and built a VCO, a VCA, a VCF and three LFO.
@@19joni69 jo cool. the magic quadruple.
Nice ideas! Breadboards and Arduino are my favorite. But farting toilet paper looks fun lol.
cool , thanks !
Thank you)
Hey Mum..I really do like how you just suggest things to do. I just thought here, ( before goin to bed) that you have some pretty good ideas, thst will work together. Pretty inventustive ideas, def for sure
Man you are so rad and inspired many, many people to do something with there lifes including me. I've been into keyboards and synths for over 35 years (sh101, minimoog, JD800, TR909 drum machine, et cetera ) but you bring it to the next leave. My question is how do you get away with all that equipment as my wife would have a shit fit if I setup that up in the front room? Love it
Finally, a use for all that toilet paper!
after purchasing a bidet, I had also wondered greatly what to do with my remaining tp
What toilet paper? I can't find any...
@@SirUncleCid Yes, we done the same in the last year. So we only need tp to build a synth....
You frikkin rock man!
Been building a Buchla Music Easel and a Jasper EDP Wasp clone during lockdown, then making stupid noises. Also made a one valve shortwave radio and a quarter watt guitar amp using 1950's battery valves. All this time off has been somewhat of a blessing for a relatively antisocial nerd like me.
Great suggestions, Sam! Btw have you ever used Velostat paper? Planning to rock some DIY drum pads with some C. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the inspiration 🤓
Ooo this looks like a great video
Or you can look all of Sam's videos.... :-) Your journey through the world of synths is amazing! BTW: If you have to much rolls, old candle wax, a heater. Melt the wax, dipping the rolls into the melted wax and you have great garden torches or firestarters for campfires.....
hey peter!!! how are you doing!?!?!?!
i have a rakits apc and cracklebox, they're both great and lots of fun. challenging to implement musically but thats entertaining in itself
Mega cool 🤘
VCV Rack is great... yeah it's not the "real thing", no real knobs to touch, no physical constraints forcing that extra amount of creativity out of you... but for someone just getting into modular synths, to play around and learn the ropes, it's awesome. Such a great community, too, the free module library is amazing. It can be a bit intimidating with hundreds of contributors... after playing around for a few days, a few great libs I found are "Bogaudio" (extremly useful, no-nonsense stuff very well done), "Audible Instruments" (they have their own take on everything and do it very smartly), "Vult" (great filters and noisy things), "Sonus Dept" (quantized sequencer), "Amalgamated Harmonics" (chord sequencer and -generators), "Aria Salvatrice" (branching sequencer and sorters), "Bifaco" (the spring reverb rocks), "Nysthi" (loads of stuff but their little tuner is one of the best) and "Blamsoft" (great oscillator, filter, reverb) and "Geodesics" (beutiful modules with a physics vibe)
nice list. my first homeoffice project these days was a passive multiple/splitter. 1x In 4x out with on/off switch for each channel;)
omg thank u!
I soldered my first two circuit boards this week and I'm telling everyone!
You are the man!!
You've inspired me to fire up the soldering iron up here in Ontario, Canada
(I guess that would be over here for you. Your Queen is on our currency!)
Any idea's to DIY wire up a sequencer?
I know you have idea's...
God bless and stay inside (with the iron fired up!!!)
Maybe now would be a good time to finally put together my OPL arduino MIDI synth.
thx for information wat to do 😃
Stay safe&enjoy the isolation....
well thats me sorted, thanks geeza
Some great ideas there =D Now we know where all the toilet roll is going!
GadgetUK164 - Retro Gaming Repairs & Mods Toilet paper is mainly rolling towards pockets of companies making it... turning into gold in the process. It's obvious that they ran a psyop to sell in a month more than they usually sell in 10 years. Poop synth though... XD
VCV is great!
I'm an electronic enthusiast and i use breadboard all the time
Stay safe Sam
What a champ!
Hey, thanks for the tips. I just tried out VCV. I built... a strange three-channel-thing that somehow works with my keyboard and even sounds quite okay. Don't ask me why it is working... it seems to have a mind of it's own.
Starting to understand why your workshop is such a mess of cables. This is total madness and quite a lot of fun. :D
Ah man.. I can't believe you never mentioned making a dub siren.
I think I lost days messing around with one I patched together in Reason many moons ago. So 2 weeks, if we go into lockdown (UK), is a piece of piddle with a dub siren and getting your neighbour to make one means having a duet partner!
BTW VCV us the GOAT!
Omg I remember that car never had one but I remember wanting it
Cool that you mention VCV! I have been playing around with it since i first encountered your work and your channel a couple of weeks ago. I thought modular would be a bit expensive to start with in the beginning without even knowing how to do a simple patch.
So i searched and found VCV, funny how you now can simulate a modular experience on a computer, synths full circle right? Still experimenting with VCV. Would love to see you do some sort of beginners tutorial on it one day! oh wait.. Thats on a computer
hahahaha full circle!
Love u bro
lmnc recommending ben eater is an awesome thing
I don't have the space or dexterity for soldering. But I love me some breadboards and Arduino.
I made a fancy thermostat for an indoor garden with a raspberry pi being the web interface/api and an Arduino running the dth11s and some light sensors. I also had soil moisture sensors but couldn't get the probes working long term before depression made it too hard to keep working on the project. (I've returned to it but mostly doing software improvements for the mobile web app that I was using to monitor the garden)
Ben Eater is the reason I have a bunch of EEPROM chips, a 6502 processor, a soviet clone of a 8086 processor, and now a pretty good knowledge of Arduino
What a weird but relevant flex.
Nooooooooice! Greetings from Peru
Another good beginner project in terms of electronics is building a Transitor Radio, however it might difficult to get a transitor from defunkt radio for it.
It was second electronic I build as a child with my dad, only to find out the transitor was faulty.
Here's hoping everyone will emerge after the social distancing era with new skills and inventions!
im using the time to finish my first synth and create some music...woot woot
Congratulations. That's awesome man. I was already kinda into this stuff when I found LMNC. I didn't know he'd take off as a TH-camr. But it's really cool to see him inspiring people to give it try. Now if I could just get him to inspire me. Lol.
I wish I had more time. But to quote the great poet and artist Dolly Parton, "Working 9 to 5... It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it."
My neighborhood has been having bulk collection going on, and I've already found a bunch of good plywood sheets and even some spools of hookup wire. And some speakers too!
I've been finding my old collections of parts recently, so now I'm wondering what kind of synth modules can be made just from 2N2222, as I've got over 2500 of those things! (They were being thrown out at a place I used to work, yes, thrown out!) It seems a lot of projects want PNP as well, so I may have to buy some 2N2907s for them. And a couple each of ADC0804 and ICL8038, it's time to make some noise!
Staying positive is not the same as Getting positive 😁
I just want to thank you for showing me VCV.
Ohh bro you released your own range yes Sam I'm so proud bro now you can have stable Income too awesome
555 timer fm synth where all of the timers can be modulating another timer with the cv pin? or maybe kosmo format fx pedals? idk im trying out the "fm" idea with you super simple oscillator lol
what a mad lad
Have a look at Adafruit too- not just products but also tutorials.
I'm building the diy stripboard kosmo. Got everything besides the cem3340. Ordering this week. So that's vco, filter, eg, distorting vca as well as the mixer. Probably going to build the arduino 8 step sequencer too since I don't have and don't want to spend money on a controller with cv. Shit is expensive here in south africa. For less than the price of a korg volca I have enough components to build 6 of each module lol
hell yeah Ben Eater is the shizz-nit!
hes the bosssss
thanks dad
Stumbled across your channel and this video inspired me to look up synth and electronic music stuff.
Wanted to buy a rakit APC and baby 8.
Unfortunately they are closed for now and the prices on ebay for kits are HORRENDOUS.
I am comfortable with DYI and have access to necessary parts but I can't seem to find nice guides and part lists :-(
Any help would be appreciated.
It sounded like you would be at home in self oscillation. See what you did there, maybe?
Two boxes from Thonk on my doorstep this morning!
great!
omg love the earring lmao
Had time to repair my old equipment and do some basic maintenance already
Even set up a network drive.
Hey sam ,how do you even remember the late 70s 80's ?? I always wanted a tamiya buggy as a kid .. The rich kids would talk about them. I ended up modifying old scalextric cars instead..although tamiya I think also made a battery and motor kit (no R/C of course ) mazda rx7 or something that i would treat myself to at xmas eh .. Peace👍
