Aswell as the november europe dates! .
with all due respect to computer restoring youtube peepz! those videos are probably my faveurite type of videos on youtube haha. restoring the colour of computers definitely does make them look amazing. but to clarify, i just love the yellowing well used look. i dont know what it is but when i see an old computer that is on the verge of becoming orange, beyond the point of yellowing i get all hot and sweaty, i have no idea what it is. its probably the equivelent in retro computers to the rat look haha. oh god
NEWSSS!!!! THE SD2PET WAS NOT JUST DISCONTINUED BUT IMPROVED here we go www.thefuturewas8bit.com/shop/commodore/sd2pet-future.html
Aaah come to Belfast!!!
Come to Spain gaddemmit! xD
Shouldn't be too hard to program right ? What would you like it to do ?
Please come to Newcastle! Then you could visit Tynemouth Computers.
"I make the rules 'round here!" - said the mad scientist with a crazy eye and a decapitated Elmo head on his desk.
I'm scared, but fascinated at the same time.
hahaha
You should be....you should be
Perfectly natural reaction to this channel to be fair.
That was my favorite comment
Sounds like some kinda fan fiction or something
haha.. the PET was the last thing I expected to see you play on here. I was amazed what you could do to that squarewave voice using one of those effects pedals!
Was thinking about that thing could use some retrobrighting, and... See your comment here :)
Hello, sir! You are the best guy ever. I didnt knos you are watching Look mum no computer. :))
you should retrobrite a modular synth then make it play planet X3
ugh, makes me wish my dad hasn't gotten rid of all his. he had 30 at one point, including the Porsche design ones, but sold them all when I was born. if only he knew, I could be playing with PetSynth riiiiight now
also, since you're exactly the person who would know this stuff, would it be feasible to design a similar very simple synth programme for the vic-20, considering the similarities? I'm blanking on what significant differences could make this feasible / infeasible and how
Back in the 80s when I was a student at Humber Collage I wrote a synth program for the Pet but it didn't do anywhere near as much that one did. It did however anger the computer lab's janitor and he called me a "hacker" and then lectured to me at lengths about how hackers will never get anywhere. I wish I knew who he was so I could send him a link to this video.
This video made me realize something. I'm a guitarist mainly and i have a load of pedals lying around. I'm interested in getting into synthesizers and the like and what i've learned from this video is that i can take a cheap synth, modify it with an output jack, and run it through a load of pedals to make something incredible sounding. Thank you for that Sam.
The world is a better place, because you do what you do 👍🏻
Μy pet also makes cool noises specially when a can of tuna is nearby
I fraking love your "American" accent..."COMMODORE BUSINESS MACHINE" hahha
Yup! I think these came from Canada, but that's part of North America, eh!
@@ConwayBob I think they did! He just sounded "American" when he said that haha :D
Sam when you use a computer just put ( mum's out ) in the title ^o.+^
It's GPL wherever you got the software from, you should get the source code too. So you can patch it to your hearts content... It's like circuitbending, but with a keyboard instead of a soldering iron. Don't be scared to try it.
Website is dead. But it's still available on archive.org. web.archive.org/web/20110727173412/www.petsynth.org/downloads_source/
It's 12k of printing to screen, a bit of value swapping and a couple of poke commands (mwah ha ha ha).
Oh and some outrageous remark statement developer easter eggs;

Coding standards, mutter mutter, best practice, grumble ...
@@mons.romerodurante8086 :) To be fair, basic was designed a couple of years before Dijkstra's EWD 215 GOTO statement considered harmful... Why they used it in the PET a decade later... Basic and C64 assembly has pressed it's mark on my poor young brain... Maybe that's why I appreciate Python so much.
I was waiting for "Hello, I'm LOOK MUM, COMPUTER" to be honest. A bit sad to not hear it this time. Great video though. Thanks so much for your work. You're amazing as always in all your mad-scientist glory.
Being a fan of Retro Computers AND Effects Pedals alike, i find this amazing! i love the sounds you got out from the PET! Very cool! btw: You should a Series on how to make DIY Pedals, maybe, much like youstarted with the DIY Oscilator and Filter! I, for one, would love it!
indeed in the works! im working on my whole modular as pcb projects first tho! first one of those will be up next week :)
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Wunderbar! I'm really looking forward to both of these projects! Especially since you can combine the Synth modules with Guitar Effects and stuff... This will be a huge party for both Guitar players and Keyboard / Synth fans alike! Can't wait!
More classic computers! It's what we crave!
This video makes me so happy I love seeing all these old computers be used for something awesome: D
For 12 minutes and 24 seconds the entire world went away and the sole purpose of my existence was to watch this video. I could not turn away. That was the definition of cool.
That yellow box in the background looks like a giant civil defense geiger counter. If you want to be the edgiest person ever, you should take one of those and modulate the clicks from gamma radiation for the ultimate post-apocalyptic synth. You might want to wear a lead diaper instead of one made out of foil though :-)
I'm pretty sure he could go in and instead of having it triggered by radiation he could have it triggered by a switch.

I noticed that too, and thought about what could be done.
I remember those PETs from elementary school...loved staring at the green phosphorous display and making things happen when i push the keys! Sweet jam session mate :0)
Blows my mind that a machine that [relatively] old can do something so neat.
Cool! One of the first computers to which I had access was a Commodore PET. Was just learning to program in BASIC, and it was a delightful tool for that. Later I got a C-64 and learned to access its 3-voice SID chip programmatically. That was around 1982-1985. I love what you're doing with this old gear. Keep up the good work, Sam!!!
I had an Amiga 1200 in the '90's 💕👍
Love watching a mad genius at work. Proper job
That ruled!! I especially like how the drum brute the levels and distortion knobs where all the way up. Just that kind of vibe🔌🔌🔌
That was the best jam I have heard in a long time, amazing man.
This is my new favourite YT channel thanks for the great content mate 🎉 thanks from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Oh boy, you make these old machines bend to your will! I love seeing both your old modded ones and 8bit guy's pristine restorations. Love the Electric Mistress - it really whooshes the sound around like no other flanger!
First time sub, I love what you are doing here. I am a tech and musician as well into EDM/Punk/Rock, so I am totally digging what you did with the Commodore. Much love from Arizona brother!
Every video you make inspires me more and more man.
Great noise, man.
Great ideas, of course...
The greatest noises in history are found first in the ideas that sparked them.
Love the stuff you are doing, brother.
Nice one! This was my “first contact” computer waaay back at school and probably the thing from school that had by far the most impact on my further life - one of the very few things that actually got me so excited to spend a lot of time on learning voluntarily. Played Moon Landing for hours on it whenever I could sneak into the brand new computer room. :-D
When you started playing that, my first thought was “effects pedals”, then that’s exactly what you did! Nice work mate!
3:12 : I swear to christ, the moment you put up the support like that and it started wobbling I was SURE the entire thing would just topple over ;D. I mean the screen is probably pretty heavy and now the centre of gravity has shifted well past the edge of the desk. It's just begging to take that jump down on the floor ,D. Amazing video as always - the ending was just KILLING me. The abrupt cut after you started fidgeting with the output cable ;D. Bzzztt!
I loved this, and your jam was brilliant!
your musicianship is awesome...i think its overshadowed by your technical ability...also awesome
I coming back almost every day to hear this masterpiece :)
Instant patreon sub! :)
That "set" at the end when he is just playing is a firestorm of amazing brocken synth. I love that.
You are mega talented my man! 👊🏻
This was amazing. Not going to lie, I almost didn’t click the video because PETs can’t make music. Well you showed me! Amazing.
This is not what we had in mind when we did the Pet Sounds Album. mainly because computers were not a thing. Keep up the good work.
Nice Work Earthling I Was Actually Grooving To That Dinosaur !
It Was Funny How You Was Banging It So Hard It Was Rocking On The Desk
You, sir, are a wonderfully talented and amazing person. I have no skills whatsoever when it comes to electronics and music (well, I do play the synthesizer . . . badly) but I enjoy your videos and can't wait for the next one.
Okay sweet sound but...what did you do to Elmo
this is the elmo vid!!! czcams.com/video/DKSr8CE7600/video.html :)
This is what the future Android overlord's dreams will sound like... Wicked.
LOOK MUM A COMPUTER should make more collabs with you Sam, this was an awesome video.
Brilliant use, of the pedals. The music created with that set up, needs a light show. Like chaser lights and a disco ball.
You litterally can make anything sing =D Tynemouth Software is the place to go for anything PET related.
Thing i remember most about my CBM was the floppy drives crappin out all the time, some 40 pin chip always the culprit. Back in the days of 300 baud dialup.
This performance convinced me to really consider supporting PETs in the Commodore orchestra software solution I am developing.
oooh please elaborate
You, sir, are a frickin' maniac. Awesome jam!
It's now "Look, Mum! No? Computer!"
that is freakin rad! some of those pedals make it sound a lot like the "trancemogrifier' and 'crystal matrix' modules that a couple of artists use in the studio, here.
I have been looking at that pet in your videos hoping you would do something with it one day. This is dope!
CBM style DJ! That's so classy! You're COMPLETELY NUTS my friend. Thank you!
Love it man. Your very talented. I tend to comment every video.
Nice use of some old kit - and no Pets were hurt during filming 👍
Sheit, that song with the pedals is DOPE af!!
Well well if it aint Sam cattle himself. Good to see you doing great, though we miss you and the others (dive bella dive). Do us a favor and make a synth version of one of DBD's song please. We miss you all!
As usual, Awesome!
Bro! this video and resulting song are just inspiring! Seriously, God bless you! or, rather, i see he already has. amazing dude! i super love this video and wish i had 100 accounts so i could hit like individually that many times. If i ever get a good idea to launch my music channel, i will share it with you to show what has come of your inspiring work. i love your humor, generally clean language, unusual combination of skill sets, and your hair. and also your face. peace and grace to you, and keep it up.
That’s so sick love it
nice jamming, sounded good :)
I was a 80s Teen with 8 Bit Computers and iam happy to see you in 2019 let the old Stuff alive in a new fascination way. You do more with that old Computers like the Guys in the 80s. You are special. Thanks ! One of you best Performances i see. But i dont know where you have all the informations to unterstand the hardware ?
Elven Wizard
This was phenomenal
This is amazing!
That be some Heavy Pet-ting
Awesome pet sounds great .
when i was young (so much younger than today...) i had one also complete with dual floppy station and dot matrix printer. if i only was wiser then i would have it hooked up to my synths now! :)
I wanna see you use the bass of the commodore 64 to it's full extent. That thing makes gorgeous bass.
look mum he's using a computer!
greaat vid Sam!
Sir, this is nothing short of awesome
Absolut mad lad of music
Wow that was brilliant 😮
Soy un admirador de tu trabajo, tus conocimientos y creatividad son musica.
That is awesome!
I won't be scared to try it!! Well, maybe not that...but a lot of other stuff cause you inspire me and shit
Sounds mint!
beginnings of a sweet tune :D
That SAD1024 flanger is the best sounding ever!
love the quick EEVblog reference in this video
beautiful!
You dude... you are such a fun!
With a few pedals, a rudimentary synth goes from snooze to WOAH! So damn nice!
So much fun!
This is some next level Crystal Castles stuff!
You need a love button on your channel... Everything you do blows my friggin mind. Now I'm on the hunt for a "Big Muff"...
Still the best vid period ever anywhere\ bought a big muff for my rig, sounds amazing through the korg volca fm and kaoss pro. Keep it up Sam!
Another awesome video dude! Your oscillographics is one of my faves. Quick question - you were asking about somebody who could code you a sequencer or something... couldn't you just convert output from one of your own sequencers to wire up certain outputs to certain computer keys, thereby triggering from the sequencer of your delight slash choosing slash MAD AF CREATIONS???!!! Ps. ain't it about time we saw you at the Brighton Modular Meet? Pps I am a coder who wrote music making programs in BASIC in the 80s :) PPPPPPssssssssssssssssssss oops sorry about that
ahhh I want a big box deluxe electric mistress sooooooo badly 💖 love this
Cool af!
What a lovely pet it is. It is so sweet.
Sounds a bit like a pet too (but not so good as yours do). => czcams.com/video/j6sghVEQbDY/video.html
I thought i had pretty much everything i wanted, with the Electribe 2 synth and sampler - and "Komplete 11 Ultimate" (and various midi controllers)... Guess i still want some of those effect pedals :P
Look Mum Autha Computa" Awesome as always .
Crass meets the pet...lol awesome.....cheers
It's programed with a distortion? Dope.
Straight up magic
Phantastic Electro Trance music 🤘
Screw Elmo! What's going to happen to the Teletubby 😨👍
Evil laugh
I like this too much
when you held up the octaver and said its 30 pounds, I (an american) was like "thats a heavy pedal," and then was like "thats a tiny pedal"
i dont think I can lift 30 pounds.
It's basically a gold bar
Not to bad mate!
Will never look at old computers the same way again.
Colin Furze of music right here
So cool
