MAKING MUSIC ON THE SUPER NINTENDO - Super Midi Pak 

did you have a games console? What one did you have when you was a kiddo? Get the full song from the end watch music livestreams and loads more over here www.patreon.com/lookmumnocomputer

Fun-fact: SNES samples are actually (technically) 4-bit! The on-board DSP chip converts them to 16-bit before sending them off to the DAC. The sample format's called BRR (Bit Rate Reduction).

Wife asked "why are you listening to musical farts & laughing so loud?" She has no idea of this pleasure....Thank you for making music so fun for me today...

Now I want to see you pitch bend normal SNES games with the knob! Even if it's just in a silly short

3:13 I love how you just kicked in the synth

I think we need an Aphex Twin collaboration.

Man, SNES by itself was SO ahead of its time and its design is just as modern in 2021 as was in 1991. Unbelievable.

I give that keyboard stand props for holding all that weight. that must be one really industrial nylon strap.

😂Love that sample!!!!

How I remember living in a squat at 17 yo playing the SNES to the wee hours. Great stuff Sam 👍

I wonder how games would sound with that pitch bending SNES

To be honest, I've waited YEARS for something like this to happen, the SNES audio is so distinct and unique that it's extremely hard (as far as I know) to replicate that certain characteristic it has through other means and programming sounds onto the sound chip is way more effort than what it's truly worth so I'm very happy someone managed to figure out a way to make this happen with a easy user interface I'd be interested to see if it might be possible to give each voice the sound chip has its own signal output to have them run through different effects, kinda doubt it but maybe...?

Loved this and your channel you are one musical genius.

I've been waiting my whole life for something like this on snes ❤️

Your output is phenominal man!!! Love this stuff!!!!!

you've got to make a whole song with this machine! it's amazing

Thankful to have heard this...you Rock!

Thank you for reminding us to keep music fun!

finally a useful midi pack that isn’t some overpriced shortcut catered to people intimidated by music theory 🔥🔥🔥

looking forward to seeing what you do. I love 8-bit music and the potential of making modern music using retro tech.

I was playing Mario world on a emulator yesterday, and loving the music more than the game ha ha

I've never seen something THIS SICK! I loved!

I saw the videos for the Super Midi Pak. I'm not a musician but even I wanted one. Great to see you covering this!!

Man... I really like how quickly you spin up some cool SNES beats! 😁👍

This guys fkn crazy - I love it.

Long time viewer, first time commenting but man you are truly giving the sound version of art attack vibes. Love it!

As a kid when I actually used these consoles I never included entertainment system.... It was the Nintendo and super Nintendo. Until like the internet and like the Wii when I started using NES and SNES.... (Virtual console or probably emulators before that... It's all blurry in my memories)

I ordered this the second it came out. I have been using SNES GSS, which will still have an application after this comes out since it outputs 65c816 assembly. You can't really jam out with it, though, as is the case with most trackers. Can't wait for this to arrive at my doorstep. Thanks for the demo! I'm even more psyched to get this now.

I've learned a lot by watching this mad man! Lol he's a genius I swear. I lost my mind when he had all the synthesizers plugged up together in that one video he did

Very cool Slowing the crystal down made the fart sample sound like the bowser laugh on the N64

fire as usual!

Sam is so talented, he can make something good out of the most outdated equipment.

I felt like I was watching Bad Influence or Games Master, absolutely love this vid. Liked and subbed mate

Always wanted to do this, very cool!! :)

Good video keep up the tinkering inventions you mad lad.

Interesting stuff - and that Messiah track is epic!!!!

You create fantastic things.

You're a genius mate, I wish I had your knowledge to do all this sort of stuff.

i love your channel!

So I randomly stumbled into this vid because of the RU-vid algorithm SUGGESTIONS, and I am glad I did. So much interesting stuff in here. Can't wait to dive into your other stuff, since I am a big fan of music in general (preferably Metal, Rock, Sinthwave, and good old 8 bit 16 bit tunes). I hope I can get some background information on how to get all that stuff going to work, since I don't have a clue on technology stuff, but can at least play some instruments. To the question of consoles, yeah maybe too many, Retro consoles (back from my childhood), C64 and the newer ones. Honestly, video games and scores (like the Conan The Barbarian soundtrack) brought me into playing music myself. You have a new fan from this day on, and I am surely going to check out your patreon in the next weeks. Thumbs up and greetings from Germany! 🤘

Fascinating

This is so unbelievably cool

Bless you!

Those aliasing artifacts when pitching down with that knob sounds sublime!

The close up on the outro of the fart song made my laughter valve explode, your snes of humour is rad))

what a banger at the end!

Finally, the Mario Paint video I've been waiting for.

Great, a hug from Chile

You’re absolutely brilliant! You would have been an awesome video game composer in the 80s/90s. I put your talents up there with the awesome Tim Follin. Thank you for the video!

6:06 That sounds cool as hell.

Very cool stuff

Well done, well done. We had many game consoles growing up from Atari to the current. I went Nintendo-only somewhere around after the PS2.

Cool I just ordered yesterday after seeing you in the comments : )

I love how you use keyboard stands to put things on they may be a bit wobbly but they can hold a lot of weight lol! i got hold of one for free a while ago and i use it as a saw horse or a stand for different heavy things. surprising how much weight i can put on it!

I can't believe you can improvise a banger like that without second thoughts

That song at the end... it KILLED

You are insane, i like it.

You cant demo a sampler without using a fart sound. I loved this vid sam!

Awesome! Has to be another world first - I don't think I've ever heard of anything fitting a pitch adjustment to a SNES!!! =D

We know he'll be back the next day with a song that gives David Wise a run for his money!

I can finally fulfill my lifelong dream of playing back fart samples on the SNES.

the best video on entire internet

thx bro !!

Beast!

Dude holy cow YES

This man just put a pitch knob on his SNES!!!!!!!! I friggin love it !!!!!! LMNC stay weird

Fantastic.. just turned 25 today, and this is what i call entertainment

lol, we called that thing Super Nintendo ALL the time, so each time you say SNES I hear snares... took some time to get used to that :) the sounds you tickle out of the snares, uhm, snes are awesome :)

Excellent video, great mod the pitch knob! ! I have a vst that works with roms and I understand that each game has its own samples. It would be interesting if you can play with samples of differents games. Thanks!

oohhhh, that bit at 5:44 - That's some of the nicest bitcrush i've ever heard.

Console stupenda!

Nice final credit to old school demos :D

I have to admit I laughed when that pan pipe sample got bent. It's been a crapper of a day and I'm glad it's over in 2 hrs but at least I heard that bent pan pipe!!

I have no reason to own this but I really really really want one now. Such a cool project

Mario paint: I'm the best software for snes music: Super midi pak: HOLD MY KEYBOARD

fucking amazing

2:50 One week later... still got this tune in my head... when ya gonna release the remastered version?! 😁👍

I'd love to see what kind of cool video synthesis stuff you could come up with.

Este tío es un genio

Computer games (that didn't have some education angle) were generally not allowed in our house early on. My father finally capitulated, and my parents got us an SNES as a first console. (This was around the time the N64 was rumored, and the prices were falling dramatically.) Being in the 'States, we had the boxy design rather than the Famicon chassis. My youngest brother has it now, and AFAIK it still works. Looking forward to more tunes from this 'Pak! 👍

Thou must make video game beats :D Next jam session will have them bits of 8 with them hits Stoked to hear a track from the super midi track

Those sounds at the 6:00 mark would be great for a Halloween themed dance track.

Would love to see another video about all the connections on the cartridge...using sound outputs (from pak or rca?)also more about finding,loading samples etc...and a more detailed pitch mod video would be great...thanks a lot I already ordered the midi pak.

Holy crap. A fart sample took me from laughing to genuinely enjoying the rad dance music. Thanks for that!

3:26 i one time saw a comment on a different video saying "One of the first Modular synth demos I've seen where they are making actual music. More often than not it just sounds like modulated underwater transformer farts." this video is just solidifying the fart thing heh

Superb SNES synth business! 🚨💥🚨

If they ever get around to doing a Neuromancer film you need to be a part of the score!

I dream to play music with my Super Famicom since decades, it's a miracle !!! 🎮😁🎶

You circuit bent a SNES, you absolute madlad

That sample with the farts SLAPS, man. \o/

This should have been a livestream. Loved the drum machine stream. Must do it again.

Rad af

I came for the Retro stuff, stayed for the music.

love the video as always! In future though, is it possible for you to put a low pass filter on the audio of videos when you have an old CRT? they give off a really high pitched EEEEEEEEEEE noise which can really irritate some people's ears. Google says about 8-9khz is the sweet spot but i haven't tried that myself

Definitely called SNES. For some strange reason we used to say it with a Sean Connery lisp so it became SHNESH.

2:40 Imagine a choir of people with such a precise control of their assholes that they could perform this IRL

That crystal mod sounds like a car engine trying to start almost..

Уже и до SNES добрался..)))) Супер! Отлично как всегда!))

dis some good shizz

HECK YEAH! the Lillbrother to Amiga 600.
