You must be a man who's remarkably comfortable out of your comfort zone Sam. Every time you release a video I think about the sheer weight of accumulated knowledge you must have from pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. You build multitudes of amazing things, run a museum, create awesome music and then casually film and edit videos about it all as if it's nothing. I'd be an absolute nervous wreck

@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER 2 года назад

I think I'm just too stupid to realise the amount of work something requires in the planning stage. Usually a quarter of the way into it realising the magnitude of work required but already too far in to not carry on. It seems to have been a common trend in my life over the past 10 years lol, only difference as time has gone on being the percentage of completing to giving up on a project has increased which is good. 😂

@unsoundmethodology 2 года назад

Great solution to the solenoid damping problem! Years ago, as part of a big shooting gallery build with my local makerspace, I was trying to use an Arduino to ring real bells - each was basically a round alarm bell shell with a solenoid in - and even after getting MOSFETs to drive the bells at 24v, they ended up with that same sort of clunk response. My problem ended up being that I was effectively trying to drive them with a gate signal, when what it needed was a trigger; I then spent way too much time figuring out just how long the trigger had to be. Too long and the bell wouldn't ring out, too short and it wouldn't ring at all. (I should dig one of those out and build it as a synth module - add something to the percussion on patches.)

@petegaslondon 2 года назад

The digital answer would be a monostable, right ? The analog one, a capacitor in series, to turn a step into a pulse (aka differentiator) I aint watched to the end yet, lets see if thats what happens ;)

@unsoundmethodology 2 года назад

@@petegaslondon Sam goes with a mechanical solution; I went, in the digital space, with just turning the output high and then low quickly. The amount of that short delay is what took tuning; if it was too short, the solenoid couldn't overcome the - is it friction or reluctance? Even at 24VDC, the electromagnet took some time to get the shaft moving.

Related to the electronically controlled glockenspiel, the band Sailor (A Glass Of Champange, Girls, Girls, Girls Etc.) made a custom instrument they called the Nickelodeon, that had a glockenspiel with what I understand to be door bell mechanisms attached, wired so that the keyboard of the built in small upright pianos could play the glockenspiel on that side (amongst other things), with pedals? selecting different instruments that could be controlled (there were synths (odyssey one side and 2600 the other side?), organ and string synths built in as well, i understand). There are a few videos from the mid 70's that show it being used live on YT, including performances of Girls, Girls, Girls, Jacaranda and Sailor. Bit of a franken instrument and must have been VERY heavy. It was built as they realised that 4 people could not recreate the studio sound live without extra musicians. The Sailor Marinaro website has more info on it and the later "fakes" that were essentially posh keyboard stands (though they did look the part).

Perhaps you can take some tricks out of modern cryptography and use a pseudo random number generator algorithm (like xorshift128+) to generate a new 'random number' in a deterministic sequence. Where the numbers won't repeat. Instead of just counting up by one. So the jingles would sound a lot different all the time. Not sure how you would implement it electromechanically, but surely it can be done with analog logic if you have some shift registers.
