7:59 imagine a organ-foot-pedal based rhythm game. Gothic ddr, now 100% more vampires 🕺
haha
Now this is hilarious hahahahaha
I'm here for it
On the flip-side, a DDR-floor-style MIDI controller?
I mean we have keyboardmania, just need a bigger controller :)
Really cool that someone who knew this organ from back in its Church days saw your videos and remembered what the foot switch was for. The Internet is useful for something!
And I thought building a DIY Modular was a lot of work! You are such an inspiring young man! Keep up the great work.
yeah this is a big old faff! they are comparable in work time though
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER It just look simple to do soldering, but that takes way more work and time than expected. 😀 Keep it up!
Every new episode of this is a joy
I worked as an electro-mechanical technician for decades so I should know what a continuity tester sounds like. And still I was expecting each relay to output a different pitch when you went through and started testing them. 😛
hahaha that would be cool! a continuity syndesizer
I was surprised how it sounded like a phone ringer bell in fast forward at 5:38.
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Yes, Yes please. A continuity tester that goes up a key each time a test has completed ready for the next.
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Sounds like a fun project Sam! - basically a multimeter that doubes as a stylophone :)
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER new project idea?
the two-footed performance brightened my day, you are a legend
I remember when you were making baby head keyboards and furby organs, keep up the good work my guy I'm diggin it
the passage of time and obsessive journeys haha, gosh knows what ill be building in a year, i shudder to think
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I quiver to know! Keep it up in Godspeed!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER MIDI HAUS
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER u will be building a (working) "close encounters of the 3rd kind" type of spaceship. U already very near to that with this organ :)
00:09:20 - Sounds like an analogue THX intro. 00:10:07 - Radiophonic Workshop? Fantastic set of videos! And really hoping to come and visit the museum next year!
There's an air raid siren by Sentry that sounds like it too.
The sound of a chord with the air pressure building or decaying is flippin lovely, that really needs to be explored some more. harmony is nothing without dissonance after all!
I reckon that putting some time into learning some fancy footwork could bring a whole new element to your performances! Get your dancing bass-legs on buh!
I'm hoping he does a cover of the THX sound. It's like it's built for organ!
Just imagine if he built a MIDI interface for the 1000 oscillator megadrone and had that run from the pedalboard. How awesome would that be?
Who else thinks that if the tour-worthy marble machine ever comes to exist, Wintergatan needs to perform at the museum or simply with Mr. LMNC himself? I know this is like asking The Ramones to open for Frank Zappa, but, come on - you KNOW it would be good!
@@zinckensteel Wintergatan will never finish the damn thing! he's happy enough buggering about with his balls and sticking it on youtube. If it's finished, bye-bye viewers!
@@zinckensteel oh hell yes!
I would make that foot piston into a "ALL NOTES OFF" (which is a MIDI command). That way if you have a failed switch in the keys or foot pedals that sticks a note on you can kill it.
but the Tremelo box would sound SO good
On an organ there is usually a thumb piston under the bottom left of the lower keyboard called GEN CAN (general cancel) which does that.
@@jismo7 Bottom right!😁 I'm surprised there's only one toe piston. My console at home has twelve, big organs can have several dozen.
7:14 you should put a grommet in the metal holes as eventually the metal will cut into the small wires and short them out
It's fine. Having done it for years it's not an issue as it isn't a moving part
man i never really knew anything about organs till i watched this, what an amazing instrument
This series is giving me something to look forward to thank you so much sam!!
Dude, you should be on the government's payroll. With your enthusiasm you could, to be honest, you probably do already, inspire so many people put there. The younger demographic, obviously, but also older generations like myself. I'm 57, so the late 70s and 80s were my heyday. There was so much I wanted to do, but didn't know where to start. I was there at the start of internet boom, and what you are doing is what I and, I expect, many others dreamt it would be. After watching you, and others like you im going to build my first modular synth. Genuinely, thanks for doing what you do.
And I'm envious - you will have an amazing experience sitting at rhat console, those pipes going at full tilt!
he could have his own sciency-musical show on BBC Three
@9:25 Pinball Fantasies Stones 'N Bones winning the double loop sound.
I feel foot pedals are one of the things that make organs feel organ-y the most. This feels like a big conceptual jump forward towards completion. Good job!
The Toe Stud switch would be perfect to instruct the Furby organ choir to sing. Brilliant work as always Sam, but please take lots of care of your back when lifting etc..
P E A C E : )
8:17 you know it's art when he defies gravity for the riff 😂
Happy to supply a tremulant (and loads of other organ parts), if you want.
I'd never say no to some parts. It would be appreciated!However where are you based? If you go on the contact form on lookmumnocomputer.com if you send a contact form can be on email cheers
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Hello! You should find two messages from me. One about organ bits, another about other stuff I'd be happy to donate. Over to you!
10:50 Gotta love the internet for making such contacts possible and giving this instrument extra historical context for us viewers.
Not bad for someone who doesn't know what he is doing! 😁
haha
Random dude: "Oh Sam, ye don't know what yer doowin!"
Sam flipping a switch: *Davy Jones mode activated* 8)
Your organ is getting bigger and better all the time, thank you Joan.
Thank you for noticing! :-D
This series will never not be brilliant, inspired, and inspiring. Great work.
so glad you decided to save that organ. so many interesting projects out of it.. not sure how you find all the time.. super work.
could you do an unplugged concert with the organ? that would be great.
Had a great time in the museum Saturday, thanks for saying hi :) Organ looking good
It's all great, but I really appreciate the quick screen clean while you were vacuuming. Been putting that off for too long.
11:54 is where I got an heart attack :)
The organ series is the most rad (the best) thing to ever happen to youtube. I hope I can visit the museum someday... ocean in the way.
I love this series so much and I hope to visit the museum someday.
5:46 I like how you put a product placement in there "U HU" ;-)
It's great to see the progress! Would love to see Colin team up - the inventions you two would come up with (:
Once the organ's all set up and finalised, it'd be really cool if it was miked up for the sake of providing local musicians with a more easily accessible pipe organ to record on. I certainly would love to come down to Kent to get some tunes out of it at some point.
The toe button is for the brights. Put a couple of high beams on the wall.
The Omnissiah would be proud
is that warhammer lolll cool!
Haha- the gentle handling of a true preservationist!
I am mesmerized by the pipe organ. I have been since I was a little kid. My dream is to learn how to play one…. I came around your first part of this series and I am hooked! What a skill you have! Nice work!
excellent use case for a stapler to staple the cables onto the wood so they don't wiggle themselves to snapping.
I love the fact that you have all the structural parts of the console! That's gonna look awesome when that's all assembled. The piston controlling a tremulant makes sense, never seen a tremulant unit for sale but apparently you can make one by bolting a weighted motor to the top of the reservoir to act like a giant vibrator unit. Shaking the reservoir will make the air supply fluctuate and produce the same effect.
Was really good to hear the organ in person yesterday and great to finally get to meet you and enjoy the entire museum. Had a blast, will definitely be back next year
9:20 it wakes up like a monster from the grave. 😯
lollll
6:44 Hey Henry! Glad you made an appearance in today's video :D
Saw the pedals , they look seriously heavy but the organ is phenomenal! Great afternoon last Sunday at the museum, thanks Sam.
So beautiful. Love the foot work
あとは、オリジナルキーボードと設定スイッチを搭載ですね。完成を楽しみにしています。楽しい動画をありがとう。
After that, it is equipped with an original keyboard and setting switch. I am looking forward to the completion. Thanks for the fun videos.
This just gets better with every addition. Wiring up those keyboards is going to be fun! Thanks for sharing!
amazing work so far!
Looking forward to you taking the organ on tour.
Amazing work as always Sam - can't wait to see this beast complete and running. Keep up the great work!
"You don't know what you're doing, Sam" Lives in my head rent free.
Like watching a happy musical mad scientist. Flippin love it mate.
my father is probably one of the best, last pipe organists around in the uk ( played many times at St Martyn in the Fields, West Minster ), im sure when you have it all set up he could show you exactly what one of these instruments could do in its day.
amazing to watch as always. just hope u are having as much fun building it as we have watching it.
Just an idea, Can that toe piston be connected to one of your Leslie speakers and used with the organ somehow? Maybe firing the speaker into a bass pipe giving a phasing sound or something?
As a owner of a thrift store (charity shop), I love those customers. They just collect the vynil records like crazy. I even have a set I play for the store because it gets peoples nostalgia going.
Wish we were closer. I'd help build that bench. Love this series.
Cool! Thought "I would use multiple contacts.." and seconds later you are doing exactly this! Very nice work - as always!
What a way to capture your imagination and effort for several months, years. Have at it Sam!
You’re like a hotrod builder but with musical instruments actually. Go on Sam, we love it!
Just got my Kosmo comes for Christmas and only a couple songs in and this is SICK! I usually am tired of Christmas music by now but this record is blowing my mind! Great work!
I love what you're doing here and am supporting you via Patreon! Best of luck with your awesome project!
Your unlimited energy is really splashing off my screen!
Would be cool to build the console out of a clear material like plexiglass or something. That way more of the organ would be visible while playing it and it would make the room feel more spacious.
@9:00 love the numbers are all one number less, maybe not many people will get the third set of numbers Kudos Sir
The best 2022 project
thought of you while reading 'The World Beyond Your Head' - whole section on the appreciation for church organ makers.
A Tremulant box? So like a Whammy pedal for an Organ. I love it. I cannot wait to see how you get it done.
you need to get some grommets as the wires going past the metal and the vibrations will short your wires... elec tape in a pinch will work too
I did think about doing that. But then remembered I hadn't used grommets for any thing else I have made and they are all happy haha. If it ain't automotive or robotic usually fine
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER If you aren't going to use grommets can you at least add a Wallace?
8:00 damn! That rocks!
I flipping love this series! Thank you :)
Love that your organ numbers are off by one number memes. You do have some impressive dexterity though with that playing! ;)
I will play this organ one day soon when I visit the museum! I've had to cancel my plans twice this year though. The good thing is each time I delay, the organ gets more impressive.
Fantastic!!! You and my late father would have really hit it off!!!
So incredible you've kept adding to this HUGE setup!
@LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER - looks like you have a fraud bot here...
Using switches like those is fairly old hat. Most modern pedal boards use reed switches with magnets on the ends of the pedals. If the switches are in the main organ cabinet, "connecting" the pedal board is simply a matter of placing it against the main case. Might be worth considering before you go further.
lovely vinyl right there. happy xm(a)s
That was a messy initial set up for Kimber Allen pedal jacks , cutting a curved mounting rail for mounting the jacks is best, if that arc is cut very accurately there is no need to provide a seperate " thumper rail " to prevent the fine silver contact wires jumping the moving buss bar.
This build is unreal. Well saved Sam.
I made a 1 octave keyboard with and Arduino and arcade buttons, to play with mi feet while also playing bass, in the end added a potentiometer to switch the range between 6 octaves, the button on top of the one in the video reminded me I considered leaving a dedicated button as a "shift", press it and then press any of the keys and change the range
Stick a crash cymbal on that toe piston and you can finish every tune with a smash!
It's great to see this instrument repurposed and cared for in a way that will entertain and educate people. Its legacy of bringing joy to people's lives can continue for years to come thanks to your hard work.
I once saw Carlo Curly give a concert on his practice organ. I can't imagine what he'd do with this masterpiece!
I think he'd have been eager to have a go. Carlo's instrument must have been pre-midi so I'm sure he'd have geeked-out on Sam's work.
This is just amazing. And it keeps getting better! :)
Blimming amazing
"But Sam, you don't know what you're doin!" lol Way to make folks eat their words! I love this!
Thanks for the update!
All these electronic contraptions in small rooms made me think of fire safety. I hope you have that in mind too, it would be tragic if a short circuit somewhere caused the last many years of your life to burn down.
Yes fire extinguishers and don't leave unattended. Sometimes auto fire suppression does more damage than none
That big metal push button has one thing to blow and one thing only: FIREWORKS!!
Great job once again Sam
Looking this series! Keep it up!
I did a smaller version of this organ pedal conversion with a set from an old Hammond.
Super useful.
You are a legend. Quite literally!
7:45 - put an LED on the board that lights up when any pedal is pressed; real simple continuity troubleshooting
Interesting switches. If those "hairs" were on different distance from the contact bar it could actually be used as a kind-of-a volume control.
But where would the volume control come from? As the pressure is quite specific to be in thne
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Commercial music keyboards have two contacts. They measure the time between when the first one closes and when the second one closes to determine how hard you are pressing. I learned about this from a Technology Connections video or maybe its comments.
Great stuff! 👍 Hoping to visit the museum next time I'm back in blighty.
That's the biggest pedal I've ever seen. Take that, Digitech! Mighty awesome.
Not to mention that toe stud... A very oldschool tremolo pedal, haha!
@3:51 I was gonna suggest this, but you beat me to it! 😊
Really cool.
Proud of you!!!!
You could use the Toe Piston like a guitar pedal, swapping through presets/banks of the organ, perhaps. Love to see it working and developing.
Interesting idea. Holding down the piston and then pressing a key or keys could change modes for stuff. Could keep things to the classic look of being somewhat clean of extras, while allowing various options to be hidden.
10:05 That sound like the background noise after Bart says testing with a stack of megaphones.
You'll need a rubber grommet on those holes in the metal case, otherwise sooner or later the edge of the hole will abrade the wire insulation.
