Your tape players probably just need belts, that is quite common on older units. You're pretty handy, I imagine you could fix it yourself. This makes me think I should check to see if mine still work... I haven't used them in years. I actually have a working vacuum tube powered wire recorder, I REALLY need to make some recordings with that!!

I keep watching stuff like this while I am working.... so I can't download samplers or libraries..... then forgetting to look them up on my personal computer when I get home 🤣🤣 Yeah I know, first world problems.

I went with Kosmo 5u and eurorack 3u hybrid. I just use 3.5mm Jack's instead. Alot of it is DIY patchwork and been getting ggs modules lately. They are very simple to build. Great to hear about your synth Journey too.

I really enjoyed this video! Thanks so much for sharing . Good stuff!

Excellent video!! Congrats on your progress. This is giving me some inspiration! 🤩 I have wanted to get started in modular synthesis as well, and likewise decided Eurorack was the best size for me. Fortunately I have a background in engineering, as well as some practical experience in tech (did surface mount repair for a job for a bit) and have built a few guitar pedals too. Made a couple fuzz pedals as well as an Atari Punk Console from scratch with a schematic on perf board. I got the Make book on Synthesizers, which contains a build-along for the Music From Outer Space Noise Toaster, which is a hybrid sound source module. It has a VCO, LFO, VCA, envelope generator, white noise, and I did the mod to give you an instrument input so I can plug my bass into it. I also modified the unit to fit Eurorack- the original board fir, but it needed a whole different front panel with a new layout. Not quite finished with that one, but in the meantime I also built a delay unit from a kit from Synthrotek, another great source for affordable DIY stuff. I currently have everything running on 9 volts (like you would a guitar pedal) but have already added the parts to connect to standard Eurorack power supply once I get one. I found an antique plywood suitcase with a powder blue tolex type covering, I plan on setting everything up in there once I have a few more bits. I also got a few other things that will work with the modular setup- a Koma Elektronik Field Kit (fantastic unit for interacting physically with synthesized and electronic sounds, also contains a mixer, preamps for stuff like contact mics, LFO, voltage controlled radio, analog and digital in- and outputs), a stand alone multi oscillator synth someone else made (no info, I found it at a second hand store) and a theramin. I too hold on to my old gear, which means a bunch of other pedals, keyboards, and random instruments to mess with. The book from Make magazine also goes over how to build all kinds of different modules, so one of these days I'll get around to cobbling some more stuff together.

2024, June. Hoping to see more videos soon. Enjoyed this video.

Today just bought mine with the 100mm 2.8 must say I am quite curious about the results and handeling. But thanks for your post 😄

Congratulations on your quest and seeing it through, doing so much DIY. Thanks for sharing your story and I agree with comments as well on Behringer. Their prices make the modular synth quest an option. My setup is a mix of DIY and 3 commercial modules of whiich 2 are Behringer 110 and 172 which are both awesome values! Keep up the good and positive work Lilly!

Loved your comments on Behringer. It’s the truth!

Really very inspirational!

i came here for the story, but stayed here for the expressiveness of your eyes... inspired and fascinated :) i built my first fuzz box and reverb when i was 16. never got back into it, but since im deep into synthesizers, im thinking turing machine <3 and i also gave up guitar due to timing issues. My synth journey is semi modular(sound studio, mavis, spectravox) and ironically, i crave a Crave. but my heart is set on the Labyrinth.

Ty for the journey in space :)

WONDERFUL video!! I LOVE Mamiya twin lens cameras!!!

Good job just ordered a surf green color of same guitar to add to my strats, jazzmaster and jagmaster.

Can we get a free bird Lilly pls pls pls 🥺

Nice!

This is one camera I've never used. Such a cool idea. Thanks for the explanation!

On loop for the rest of the day. Oh, those sounds! They remind me of a favorite line from Willy Wonka, "The suspense is terrible ... I hope it'll last." Thank you so much for all the work you put into your art. The process is as important as the product.

Nice development and evolution, thanks for sharing! Could you share a bit more about how you made the high pitched scratchy crackly noise that periodically repeats throughout this track? Thanks! Cheers from north Schwarzwald! 🩶👽

This is growing on me. Awesome sounds there, Lilly!

Hello again, glad to see you're doing fine. Getting strong NASA mission control vibes there... Ground control to Major Tom...

You channel your madness in the coolest way! The performance is fascinating to watch, as well as the music being awesome. This tune takes my imagination to derelict, decaying starships, space stations and spooky alien crevasses. I wonder what Games Workshop would think of this music as a background to one of their future 40K space horror tales..?

Amazing,ty!

Nice to hear from you again. Hope you are well.

Great again! Thanks for sharing!

so cinematic and atmospheric, I can easily imagine this as part of an awsome scfi movie/game soundtrack or something

Eindringlich. Sehr gut.

Oh good, I was wondering when you will spoil us again with some audio again. It’s nice - thank you!!

love the ending!

I bought your album on Bandcamp....love the atmosphere. My diy soldering has been mixed success, but I enjoy it. I nearly got one of those steel drums...like the tones...and I have a kalimba like yours which i sometimes run into my eurorack case via a Doepfer A-119 Ext input/Envelope Follower.

Move to florida and marry me. Thanks! See you soon.

I like the music a lot ... reminds me of Vangelis.

If you're building surface mounts you're a better builder than I'll ever be

Great video

Thank you for this amazing deep dive into the process of module building, I've always wanted to build some modules and I think I will over the next year or two. I started with sound systems and a fuzz pedal too, but the fuzz pedal failed and I couldn't source some of the parts I needed at the time so my soldering iron started gathering dust. I went for the Behringer Neutron as my first synth because it's as close to all-in-one for what I wanted and pairs fantastically with a midi keyboard and Ableton. Inspired, easily subscribed, I look forward to seeing more of your creations and hearing your music.

Keep up the good work

I like this video a lot: it's enjoyable as always, and I could relate to so many things! Also my "new" record player (I have it for 5 years now) has no auto-stop, and that really surprised me badly (even my old Lenco dj turntable had that, but stupidly I gave that away decades ago). Now I got used to it. I'm also using BT transceivers to connect my analog audio to the digital world. This video inspired me to spend more time again with all my vinyls as soon as I'm back home - working 220 km from home for most of the week. When I was young, having a decent stereo was a must-have, and I mean stereo verbally. I bought one from my first income from internships. Nowadays the kids and youngsters seem to be happy with just their smartphones for listening to music - no sense for sound quality, I guess. I'll keep on watching your videos, always very relaxing and grounding 😃, thank you 🙏

This is so motivating I loved every second of this. I appreciate people like you who make videos explaining their journey, quite inspiring.

Great video!! I just got back to them and own now a Zeiss 521/2 near mint and tested (that was promised, but let's wait and see after the first film is done 🙂 ) Would be great if you could share more about it, do/not do (such as the right procedure to first set it on 250 with a Compur shutter and then to cock the shutter. not the other way round - never!)

Good story That's really COOL!!! It's always been my dream to make a modular synthesiser.

Egal, ob man gerne Gitarre spielt oder einfach nur gelangweilt ist, das ist ein lustiges Projekt! :)

hey, this was a good watch! you really got to show what the camera is capable of (and how much of a headache hunting for those light leaks can be). Subscribed!

We do miss the music vids - hint hint

Love the music (thanks for letting me know about Spitfire's bigotry, i'll be unfollowng)

Goodness, you are my heroine.

i totally relate with your experience and i am glad i am not the only person who wanted to build a synthesizer as a kid, but was put pff by maths and poor resources...all i had was a commodore 64 (how i loved making music with it)...fast forward many years, the pandemic forced all of us at home, working from home 9 to 5, i was fed up of playing piano so guess what..i bought a behringer crave as well and felt compelled to start learning electronics to build something to make the quirky sounds that populate my weird immagination...and here i am, like you with a few rows of eurorack modules and a breadboard where i constantly try to fry ICs in my attempt to make something that sounds like a robot that walks into a steel cave full of squeaky flurry bouncing balls with 3 eyes and a big nose (or a big farty giant from mars)XD keep your fantasy alive and all the best. hugs

It’s so good to see a new POV video. And you have to love Delta 100, eh? I’ve used it in 4x5 and it’s really delicious stuff.

I always love your black & white photography, and the color grading of this video looks really lovely. 📷😻

Great content, love your videos and music! cheers from brazil 🙌
