@My House i may not be the dude for you! i am not very good at nicely fixing things haha im a bodger badger through and through! :P however if you write down your country here, maybe someone in your country who repairs these things will see the comment and reach out to you!!! :)
you were a big inspiration back in 2017 to grab a soldering iron. now Im making modules myself. very happy that the opening of the musuem is just a few months away, congratulations!
@@warpeggioslab I want to be a friend to. Because friends speak open to each other. Great work. What could make it even better: - Solder protection varnish, the self-etched boards are already totally oxidized. - Using a gauge for bending the components, and above all soldering them consistently and properly in one direction does not make such a botched impression. - Maybe to think about the ease of maintenance beforehand is not bad either. Of course not for a prototype, but for the next build. I don't want to badmouth this thing. On the contrary, I like the synth. Wonderful :)
A very large part of my life aged 6 to 19 was spent designing, building, playing with electronics and synths, and stripping down and taking apart "spare" hifis etc ( sorry family ) - so seeing this brings back great memories ! Keep up the good work !
It has so much personality. From hand etched PCB to stripboard. It looked like it was a labour of love. A very interesting setup glad it's going next to kosmo.
I love watching the museum grow, thanks for sharing this facet of yourself with the world. I wish there had been all these resources for synthesizers / electronic music when I was a kid, I might have taken a very different career path :) Your channel gives me a chance to enjoy synths vicariously and I appreciate it.
Videos like this remind me why one of the first things most people ask me when they see I'm into modular is "do you watch LMNC?" 😆😆 Lovely to see the museum collection growing bigger, much love from India!!
It'd be pretty sweet with something where you could see through it from behind, like an acrylic panel of some sorts. Let the visitors see the love and labor and maybe be inspired by it.
I once made a sequencer for a Ms 20, made with a 74C164 , this an 8 shift register; Rather simple but it worked fine. love your, channel grtz from Belgium.
I feel you with the bidding story. A couple of times I've put some cheeky lowball offers in that have been accepted, and then I'm like 'oh no now I've got to actually buy this thing!'
Man, that's a beautiful build. And here I sit, with my homemade Eurorack setup limited to 84hp of rails bolted to wooden tiger bookends, a power supply in a cigar box, and three finished and two half finished modules. (Finished: a vactrol-controlled passive low-pass filter, an "i-am-o" VCA/filter, and a module that breaks the internal PS voltages out to banana jacks, which I call the "Electrical Banana"; partly done: a VC AtariPunk, a very lowfi sampler/looper based on one of those birthday card recorder chips. Joystick CV generator, line/instrument input to/from Eurorack level module, and a bunch of stuff built from Electric Druid chips I have in the mail are all still on the drawing board.)
I almost lost my mind making the LMNC Arduino sequencer, that beast is from another dimension! The back panel should be perspex so people can see the labour of love this is.
Haha cool! I actually bid on that one. But my maximum was a good deal lower - didn't dare to go too high as I would've been rather helpless if there was (or at some point might be) some difficult fixing to do! Gotta come by the museum at some point tho & give it a play!
I absolutely love your passion for the weird and glorious! I really want to hit up your museum when I might be able to make it to the UK. Amazing stuff!
I was actually 'watching' this very synth on the auction site and wondering if/how it would work and sound, it's clearly now in the best hands...nice one..
4:40 is a fuckin banger It's always so much fun to see home made PCB's and stuff that's DIY-ed from beginning to end. I still have my first ADSR that I built completely from scratch for my Eurorack. It was a Yusynth design(love all his stuff) and it still has a place in my setup, albeit in another case which is just for creating harsh noise. Kinda sad that I sold my Moog VCF clone that I also made from scratch.
I think some good synth ideas for the museum would by a DIY single osc hardwired synth (something like the EDP Gnat) and maybe an NJD style dub siren. Nothing too in your face and can get an immediate response from someone pressing a button and turning a few knobs.
Man if I still lived in the UK I could see myself spending all my time at this museum. Those module PCB's look really well done,the resistors on the first module you pulled out look amazing, any idea what the red ones are made from?
The redish body resistors i know are from the Vishay PR Series (Power Metal Film Resistors). But i'm sure other manufacturers might have made some in that color too with different properties.
It is possible the faceplates are laser etched with a laser engraver. Very easy to take powder coated/anodized/painted metal and remove just the coloring for a smooth clean engraving.
Pretty sure those panels are some form of Scothcal, from a quick net search: --- As an engineer who may have specified materials or wrote specs for Military requirements, do you remember 3M Scotchcal? It was a photo-sensitive process used to manufacture labels, decals, signs, nameplates etc. on aluminum and plastic. It was alcohol-based which used # 8500 developer with a protective spray coating. Well, that was a few years back. Many engineers and Mil-Specs specifically called out on drawings for 3M Scotchcal to meet their strict marking requirements. ... So, after all that history, the product still lives - and is now called ID MARK®. It has all the same characteristics and more using polyester and aluminum for high-quality, durable, custom labels, decals, signs and nameplates --- Note the slight delamination visible at th-cam.com/video/w-KZj-DXevc/w-d-xo.html (7:48 if the link does not work). I used to use this material to make very nice low volume/proto panels. One limitation was the UV exposure rig I had only handled "11" X8" similar limitation might expaint the panel that looks like 2 but is a single item. BTW: Love the channel!
I love this synth. I've got a project like it on the horizon, way off in the future. Really like the quantized outputs on the sequencer, and the default patch routing (or whatever you call it, normalling?) it seems quite user-friendly.
Lol. That exact same thing happened to me. I put a minimum bid on an instrument not thinking I'd win and I did. At first I had the same reaction. "Uh oh.". But now I like having it.
I belief that is photographic aluminium, I remember that stuff being around in the eighties, crazy expensive. Just like the photographic pc's, you'd light it with UV and then put it in some chemical and you'd get the print from the transparent mask you used. You c could get overhesdsheets that you could feed to a photocopier. So that way you could make a mask grin a picture.
As a pianokey lover, I have to correct you on the keyboard part. It is actually a FATAR keybed from an older organ(using wire contacts on buss bars). The Yamaha keyboard would be a METAL gray keybed with rubber strip carbon contact on a matrix contact board. But the electronics could be Yamaha yes. The keybed is all plastic too which gave away the Italian manufacture of it. Still a great design!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Amen! Yes, it is a all plastic FATAR action like the one used on the Siel Keyman PK49. I have that action in my stash of keybeds lol.
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I looked at the shots again closer this time. The keybed is from a Suzuki PK37. The keys are not Yamaha. The bottom casing maybe. But considering the value of a Yamaha YK10 versus a Siel/Suzuki PK37 home keyboard, I say it is not Yamaha at all. The wiring was done very DIY like as you pointed out, but indeed, you can see the front of the keys are squared, with the tops of the white keys having a slight curve to them like Fatar usually does. The Yamaha would be flat top whites and the fronts would have a little lip to them. But neither here nor there, as long as it works and you are happy with it in the end, that is what matters!! Cheers!
Dont nick me patch cables, im watching! :D

@My House try markus fullers channel
Where do you buy all that stuff?
i am simple man, i see moog, diy and its a lmnc video i click, coz there isnt anything more important than that in the world

Nice !
your work ethic is astounding
no life out of this stuff basically hahaha
I bet the guy who built this bookshelf modular, never knew it was going to spend the rest of it's life in a museum! How cool is that!
where is this person? i want to be friends with them!
@@warpeggioslab I want to be a friend to. Because friends speak open to each other. Great work. What could make it even better:

And not just any museum, but one of the most awesome ones i have heard of.

That's a really good idea, honestly. After all, what is a shift register but a set of latches wired in sequence?
I don't know a lot about synths, but that thing sounds sick
I feel you with the bidding story. A couple of times I've put some cheeky lowball offers in that have been accepted, and then I'm like 'oh no now I've got to actually buy this thing!'
I just got to say. That thing does indeed sound GOOD! Whoever built it, this is well done!
this end jam was really sick
Honestly once this is open and so is our countries.....I would LOVE to come visit the museum!
Yeessss. The best of both world. Moog and DIY in one sentence!

Dude you need to record this if you haven't already would happily listen to the stuff you produce sounds awesome.
Also thanks for the simplified electronics for dummies -style hosting. I’m learning in leaps.
What a cool piece of equipment! Someone have really put their heart and mind in to building this. ...and it couldn't have found a better new home ❤
Sam, I love your channel, your energy and enthusiasm is just absolutely stellar mate, please keep it up!

As soon as we can work out crossing the pond, we want to come see this. Looks amazing!

That synth makes me wonder if I can build one myself. That's so awesome!
Yeah deffo possible
Cool stuff!
I wish I'd be able to pull some kind of modular mega-project like this one, someday...
Your insurance company must be rubbing their hands together on this museum project 😂
11:29 sounds like the old Williams arcade/pinball machines.
That is one amazing piece of DIY!
Can't wait for the museum to open!
That's an amazing sounding synth for DIY and the museum is looking awesome... 👌😍
I am really looking forward to your museum opening, especially as I am about to build my first Eurorack synthesizer
You should put a link to the other channel Museum of Everything Else in your description.
I just found your channel and I love it. Analog man in a digital world. So refreshing.
So THAT's where all the techno comes from!

that beast is pretty gnarly! love it.
If the covid situation lets me, my first trip abroad will be to the museum.
sounds awesome maannn
Great look forward to seeing it.
Would love to make a dnb tune on some of this equipment..music to my ears..
The panels seem to be laser etched paint, which woth very thin enamel would gove you that "cant be felt" finish

Wow, new video promises to be amazing!
Awesome sounding synth, gonna create some serious tunes
Fantastic news about the museum
absolutely live for these videos sam
This is great!...I can’t wait to visit The museum Sam
I like the subtitles during the jam clips :D
that thing sounds killer! what a score!
Reminds me of the second-hand MFOS Sound Lab II I found here in town. That thing has a pretty distinct sound.
A lot of work went into putting this together. Nice find.
Great find there, would love something like that, ill just cheap out on vcv rack for now
I love your passion for synthesizers, you got me into this stuff and it's awesome!
When can I come & see? Thank you for existing in the most beautiful way!
It's crazy how you understand the workings of these monsters :)
There’s something nice about a simple subtractive voice in that moog format.
This dude is MAD!!! I love it!!! Keep it going!!!
DIY synths are the coolest
Sheeeat man; you’re getting some gnarly sounds out of the diy synth; dirty and groovy, rich; good enough for a DEEWEE record 👏🤙
Ooh , that thing sounds awesome 👍😍
Great synth. Love it!
Hell Yeah!! Nice one Sam
You look like you're having so much fun!
This synth is awesome! Nice to see another video
Do you suggest buying someone's else DIY rack as a start? Or buy some models or kits and built your own?
I love this synth. I've got a project like it on the horizon, way off in the future. Really like the quantized outputs on the sequencer, and the default patch routing (or whatever you call it, normalling?) it seems quite user-friendly.
I love how just 1 4th of the whole synth is a giant sequencer
I've been saying 'Moooog' for so long. I'm such a philistine.
0:38 - wow, Fisher Price tape recorder, not seen one of those in almost 40 years!
So amazing project
Lol. That exact same thing happened to me. I put a minimum bid on an instrument not thinking I'd win and I did. At first I had the same reaction. "Uh oh.". But now I like having it.
10:12 "A bookcase from IKEA!" 😂
I miss the days (nights mostly) at the hackspace in Notts etching noisy crickets and fuzzbox and whatnot with a costant supply of Oinks :')
yo man is this place with devices is open to see it?
july

The amount of work you do is actually being insane lol
Gotta love the tekno vibe at 12.24
Wow, that home made modular was a lucky find, I bet the other bidders wish they made a higher bid.
At 1:00 I had something exactly like that as a kid.
Awesome video ! How can I reproduce the sound at 11:28 ? Or does it have a name ?
0:57 - I used to use The Dictaphone.. ...but nowadays I use my finger like everyone else.
*The furbys are judging me, love your videos mate*
You brits are so crazy about your synthesizers!
Can you make a video on how to buid a only discrete based synth ,simple architecture?
ill try sure!
Any suggestions on where might be a good place to buy a good starter mod synth?
