    You’re what if an evil genius were raised by good parents.
    This is crazy awesome. Like I’d like to go to the museum and play with everything. I’d leave no knob unturned, and no button un pushed.

    Nice. I noticed how much “better” they sound in the cabinet - the reflections off of the back and sides make such a difference with Leslie cabinets. PS - why not make a cloth covered grille for the leslies so you can run them even in slow chorale mode for the museum… With enough light you might even see the spiral. Just my $.02 !

      Just a small correction these rotor units are not true Leslie speakers! they are in fact Italian clones tbe motor units are totally different (designed to get around a patent!) I used to buy these in the early 80s as th basis for a range of organ tone cabinets.

      There's the issue of photosensitive epilepsy that is the bummer for that, but making it a switchable option would be good together with syncing the rotation to GameBoy screens/LED patterns would be good too!

    • @makeart5070

      Not even a strobe - just mount lights, uv ir otherwise, through the speaker mounts so they're underneath the rotating drums. Automated strobing synched to rotation speed

    I wonder how it would sound with a "sliding door" port on the actual speaker boxes. It would act sorta like a wet/dry control, but also change the resonance of the boxes at the same time. No idea how it might sound!

  • @glenncurry3041
    @glenncurry3041 Před 2 lety +6

    If memory servers, actual Leslie cabinets had opening vents all around them to let the sound out 360. Perhaps put some openings along the sides and back to let the reflections out? Could make the whole area sound more spacious!

    • @noneyabeezwax6904
      @noneyabeezwax6904 Před 2 lety

      Yes, leslies have some vents on the back and sides, not too many tho, or else the effect of the sound seeming to be moving behind and in front of you is ruined.

  • @MikeKiker
    @MikeKiker Před 2 lety

    Love what you're doing with these Leslie's!!! I have 3 of them myself. 1 single rotor like your's built into a wooden box and a full size dual rotor model and that's exactly the magic with those. The top and bottom rotors never truly spin in time with each other and that's the key to the Hammond sound! But hearing polyphonic synth chords through those harkens back to a pipe organ vibe with the stereo Leslie. The Leslie truly just makes everything sound better.

    This is an amazing project. It's very cool to see all of your work coming together to make this cool place for people to explore electronics and sound. So many people who hoard stuff say they're going to make a museum... YOU ACTUALLY DID! 👍🏽 You're one of the most productive people I've ever seen, really.

    I’m so glad that I happened upon your channel. My nephew was getting into robotics and I just purchased him an electronics learning kit that comes with the book and six projects including a breadboard and a bunch of capacitors and some other components and with that I also gave him a soldering gun, solder, helping hands. And someone else in the family gifted him an Arduino and some extra bits and pieces from around the house electronics related.
    Your channel is going to cozy me up to that world even though your stuff is old school and what he is learning his new school a lot of the principles are the same. Even though I’m in my 40s if I lived nearby I would be begging you to come work with you once in a while.
    I wonder if Pink Floyd ever used baffles for some of their sound effects. Seeing you play off of your creation makes me wish I was there when Pink Floyd was creating their music.

      @@Bladavia Depends on your definition of ‘fancy’. A proper binaural mic mimics the response of the human ear, so when played back through ideal head- or earphones that do not deform the sound in any way, it comes as close as one can get to actually being there. In practice everyone's ears are different and the mic will be an average, but it's way better than just using 2 regular mics.
