If you'd of been born in the 70s, we'd all be living in a different future.
I'm 53 and I used to manipulate tape heads for speed and getting the left/right to play on all the head and stretch the tape.
Or Betamax to look like cinema film.
I once plugged a Walkman into the mains and for a 1000th of a second I heard God itself just before it caught fire and the copper in the wire I was holding melted.
Beautiful times.
Love your work my Man.
Lmfao! You just sparked some old memories😂😂😂😂
This stuff was expensive back then and the internet didn’t exist so he couldn’t have gotten the money to do so much
I fucking LOLed
I had one of those cool toys that came with a long card with tape stuck to the bottom end and the machine would play the first part like "what is 5 + 5" and then it would pause for you to answer and you'd push a button to hear the answer. After some time it started sounding very demonic because the tape on the cards would get easily damaged so I started making my own cards with regular random bits of old tapes but the speed wasn't quite the same. Loads of fun nonetheless
Don't worry about the length of the video, I would gladly listen to a full hour of jamming on that thing
He posted a 43 minute jam on Patreon today. About half the video uses the MS-10 as input, and the other half guitar.
Dude absolutely.
same
SAME!
@@jason3898thanks for enticing us:). Seriously.
This is a truly lovely channel. Creativity factory
Yes, use those outputs to each speaker, then place chair in the middle of room and let the sound circle around You just like tape goes around.
Oh I love this idea...
Would that be 16.1 or 18.1 surround sound?
@@ytsm5 speakers with 1 subwoofer is 5.1 surround; 16 speakers with 2 subwoofers would be 16.2 surround. it just depends on the number of speakers in the setup. I guess without any subs and each head wired to its own speaker this would be 16.0
I’m getting dizzy thinking about it
While on LSD
Received wisdom; measure twice, cut once.
LMNC wisdom; scribe a minimum of 16 non-matching arcs, then ignore and drill by eye.
The latter results in a work of art with soul.
Fantastic project.
I was hoping you'd try to put vocals through it with a microphone. Imagine the crazy sounds you could make with all that control!
oh wow great idea
I can imagine it now..
Copicopicopicopicopicopi
Yes Please
The saturation is amazing - nothing else can sound as good as overdriven tape.
The megadrone is admittedly a close second
Lynch and Tarantino's sounds, right? )
This is a thing of beauty. You not only improved on a simple machine and expanded its capabilities, you also added new capabilities, turning it into an entirely different thing. Simply brilliant.
Having 8 speakers around would give an awesome experience for the listener as the sound slightly changes on the pan around
I had a guitar running through 8 delays and 8 amps once. It was trippy to have them in a circle and hear something move from amp to amp to amp. You’ve gotta try 16 outputs! 😮
Sam, the difference between your brain and the brains of most others is that yours is connected directly to your hands, which are usually holding tools. In fact, the “get ‘er done” attitude in your videos is inspiring me to complete a couple of projects as we speak.
Your mind, man. I'm so glad you get to share this with us all. 🎉
Sweet hack to roundup the tape heads. Mod Man Sam.
💯
That is about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. You are an absolute creative genius. Hainbach is going to lose his shit when he sees this!
Hainbach has already entered the comments section
@@jaredwblack thanks for the heads up (no pun intended!)
The first few minutes of this is the most concise explanation of how analogue delay works I've ever seen. Perfect.
Brilliant mate! Next up: make a Tempophone!
I don't know what that is but the name sounds neat so I agree! Oh, it's hainbach. I'm subbed, love your stuff. Hello from New Orleans. Come on tour here sometime 😊 please and thank you
ooh, I've always wanted to hear one, good call! I was sorta hoping for an electrostatic delay line first tho.
Don't know what that is either. I'd like see him make a plate reverb though!
Christ that thing sounds incredible.
Real dystopian sci-fi sounding thing. I adore it.
The keyboard was bringing me back to elementary school, watching one of those things where the teacher would try to sync a slide show to an audio tape except the tape was like 20 years old at this point.
"* warbly dissonant guitar chords * 'Why...are plants green?''"
'Why...are plants?
legendary. What a rich crunky dreamy sound.
Hes truly a genius of making crazy amazing noises!
Every time I watch an audio related video here, I get 1970's/80's flashbacks. @2:20 Major Space 1999 Dragon's Domain music vibes!
And "I did the mod, but it fell off." needs to be a T-Shirt.
Hainbach will never leave now :)
a work of art 🔥
That loud banging noise is just Heinbach trying to break your door down...
Who is Heinbach?
@unduloid Heinbach is another CZcamsr that collaberated with LMNC recently.
@@peterlarkin762
Never heard of Heinbach. Do you perhaps mean _Hainbach?_
@@unduloidHey friend, don't be a douche.
@@citrusface
Spelling matters, especially when it comes to names.
This monstrosity just sounds amazing and as raw as it looks. Mad respect for coming up with this beauty. Cheers
Oh, Hainbach is going to love this. Wow and flutter? We love wow and flutter!
15:27 I love that sound. The heavily distorted bass/root note with the melody pushing it's way through towards the end. Very emotional.
perfect toy for adding ambient sounds to horror movies
This is an absolute beast of a delay - really amazing sound! The saturation and quality of sound is haunting and beautiful and feels both new and old. This could be the star of someone's studio!
First time I've been properly jealous rather than just intrigued and entertained! This is just great!
I am in awe of your endless enthusiasm and ingenuity. Could watch you tinker for hours. Bonus points for the old school seventies punk safety pin earring.
I genuinely hope that you get as much joy out of life as you give us. You+World=better place and all that. Cheers from Minnesota.
NIIIIIIICE! Im not a big analog synth-head, but I very much appreciate the hackery going on to make this thing. REAL hacking! Not that modern 'plug jumper wire into premade sensor breakout board then into raspberry pi, now burn this to your SD card (because screw any other projects you also had going on)' kind of "hacking". This is what we used to do back in the day kiddies!!! Grab a bunch of junk, and slap it together to get things to be greater than the sum of their parts!
@16:12 - "Well, with this circuit and a bunch of these janky tape heads, we can modify this to..."
My brain was 100% expecting "be way more janky." to finish that off.
It's like a super high tech version of row-row-row your boat... everyone singing the same song just offset in Tiiiiiimmmmmme. Sounds bloody amazing though... I get a lot of 90s Industrial vibes from your noodling.
i can't believe i once had convinced myself this man was clickbait. Once again, thanks for letting me live my dreams through you vicariously. ❤
Now there's a few things that popped into my mind: make the thing fully controllable via CV, integrate a huge spring reverb tank and add a second input to allow the tape heads to be individually switched to recording from either input 1 or 2.
this is so sick that saturation effect is nuts
The MegaCopyCat is really something. Sam, you constantly outshine yourself.
I just love it when someone else builds something I'd been kicking around at the edges of my mind - saves me from having to take the trouble, and maybe inspires me to go and do it anyways, with my own style, of course.
Yes, this is great. I've been trying to come up with a solid idea for an electromechanical audio compressor that would somehow integrate a harddisk read/write arm.
Just really love the intersection of audio, electronics, mechanical components. Always wanted to build a plate reverb.
Just feel like there's so much rich texture in the physical world that could be captured and remodulated onto sound. Like I'm thinking about that Steve Mould motion amplification video... could you take an extract of a video of some factory and modulate that onto the eq/saturation profile of a vocal track for a uniquely flavored distressor effect. So like instead of using random noise or something, it's like flavored/opinionated noise. Or instead of a static impulse response curve for a modeled guitar amp, the curve itself is subtly modulated over time. Idk.
Great minds think alike, but also so uniquely (personal flavor)
It's like we're all on the same w̶a̶v̶e̶l̶e̶n̶g̶t̶h̶ tape loop, sorta like we're at different points on it with our own read/write heads : )
Dude you're an effin GENIUS IMHO
OMG - I heard you say "lovely doubly"... I heard that before from you, but love that and had to point it out for your audience! That is soooo you, and I've heard that from NO ONE ELSE ever!
Would be very cool to have lights on each tape head that is active turn on as it plays.
16 speaker surround sound with some of these demos would be an earth shattering experience
Imagine having each output on its own speaker, with the speakers arranged in a large circle with you in the center.
I like this thing!
I can imagine Rick Wright playing with this in the early 70s. Great job Sam.
A position in the research division of a tech company might conceivably keep you entertained, but I think you've found your calling. Hope to get across the pond and visit your museum someday.
In an ideal world focused on human needs, perhaps, but I have little doubt his soul would die if he had to work for any sort of extant corporation.
he is too much out of the box for most companies.
Don't be too sure. Some of the corporate R&D people I have worked with had similar traits. It comes down to what you're interested in.
That is a signature piece of kit. Amazing. Thanks for these great videos.
Amazing sound! Love this project.
Its amazing, the wow factor is big in this one, what a great sound it has!
thanks a lot, very well done
LOL it sounds like The Andromeda strain soundtrack😂
I got that too!
If the BBC ever reinstated the Radiophonics Workshop, you would be the man in charge.
I always think of forbidden planet - but don't know if my memory is correct
Mate, that's amazing. I love delays and reverbs, and this is one of the best I have seen. Awesome
You never fail to blow my mind - like 1970s popular-electronics vision of the future, my pop would love it. He let us abuse a reel-to-reel ...
A REEL TO REEL **WHAT??**
This is amazing Sam. You're right there were moments where it sounded a little bit like my microcosm, but the analogue saturation on the tape heads makes this an absolutely phenomenal sonic wonder machine. Love it.
You are and have been my gateway drug into DIY effects / synth building and electronics in general. This video and idea are another massive inspiration. It’s a rowdy journey but I’m totally in love with it. Thanks
Amazing!!! This is the most beautiful sounding thing I've ever had the pleasure of seeing you build. Wow!
Oh wow. This might be the best effect thing you made so far. It sounds amazing.
The gritty saturation sounds so good!!
Wow! Stunning sounds!
There are so many musical things i could use this thing for....
One of your best creations yet!
Genuinely beautiful results with the final sounds 😊
Pretty cool. The upgrades sound awesome. Looking forward to those.
Love it! The shutdown sound is amazing.
Absolute Audio Genius!🎼🎸 Awesome Video Thank you!
You are the spiritual successor to the Barrons with this one. Creative and impressive, as always.
i love the sound! very warm and large sound. playing with the speed around, sounds really weird, and a incredible effect! cant wait to see what else you do with it!
That's the sort of experimentation that led to so many cool soundscapes over the years.
Wow thats Awesome mate! Love your no filler approach too.
Its just is nice to see and hear this mechanical beauty filling the air with such warmth
.
Simply incredible.
Killer project! one more for the bucket list. Been wanting to do this since 1979! Thanks for sharing mate.
That loop you did around 19:19 I could listen to in the background for an hour and get hyperfocused on a project. So much potential for this beauty!
Very complex and musical. Nice work!
Sam you’re a mad man! And I love what you came up with. 👍
This is why I love this channel. So creative. So inventive. Great episode.
Sounds gorgeous!
I think this may be the coolest thing I've seen you make. I love it.
Wonderful saturation!
This would have to be my fav invention of yours Sam. Absolutely brilliant and so many useful applications musically. LOVE IT
It's really amazing how many different devices have been invented with the goal of delaying a signal, and just how many uses there are for them.
I love math, and here you have invented something analogue that cannot be done digitally. (There are many numbers required to create the beautiful complexity here.)
Absolutely terrific! I'm amazed at the magical dirty analogue sounds that this gadget produces. A masterful bit of engineering - I love it!
A veritable one man radiophonics workshop. Still haven't forgiven them for shuttering it.
19:15 absolutely stunning! I was in a different world. You just made something I never heard before.
Wow this is... incredible. Well done
I love the soundscapes this thing makes.
I find you videos to be utterly facinating.
I was first introduced to electronic/syntesizer music buy the music teacher when I was in 4th grade.
I fell in loved with the sound of syntesizers.
When I was around 13 years old, I purchased an album called "The Copperplated Integrated Circuit.
I loved listening to it with my headphones on.
I currently have a good size collection of synthesizer music, and I am always on the lookout for more.
I was fortunate enought to find your CZcams page a couple years ago, and have enjoyed it ever since.
Thank you for sharing your work and creations.
@thecrafsman would LOVE this! This sounds like everything good and wonderful from my youth rolled up into a audio hug. Well done. Well done
That sounds wonderful!
that jam at the end was amazing. an ingenious and entertaining project yet again, sire!
Very nice. I love the sound.
Beautiful!!! Just...beautiful!
I'm so glad there are people like you in this world. You are what hope looks and sounds like brother.❤❤❤ the creative mind❤❤❤
This is so cool. Great video, thanks for making this and sharing it!
Sounds so Amazing 😍
I like the grit the sounds it makes has, very powerful
It sounds beautiful!
Creativity on speed. Marvellous!
Stunning!
ah bless ya.... got me again, was still salvaging tapeheads from cassetteplayers... legendary man.
Absolutely mental good!!! Fantastic! That sir, is a thing!
This was a lovely build Sam! Love your work mate!
You are crazy talented, and a great person too. Always appreciate your sir.
It sounds incredible!
The saturation and the panning! What a wonderful, huge sound!
That is amazing that! Very original. Excellent idea! I wish I'd have thought of it!
This is one of the most satisfying sounding devices you have made! Absolutely Love It! ❤
