Short hint: LDRs works best with yellow LED. Cause most of the cheap LDRs are made to work with daylight. I found out that this works best when you build vactrols.

@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER 6 лет назад

great info!

@AdamTheAd-vanc3d 6 лет назад

Peter Heß Your the first person i have ever heard mentikn that fact. Nice one 👍👍👍

@hesspet 6 лет назад

Simple to explain: Here's a datasheet of an LDR: de.scribd.com/doc/128939598/LDR-Datasheet - Figure 3, we see the maximum response is between 540-560 nm. Yellow Light starts at. 560nm. Lower freq. is green. I tested a lot of cheap ldrs to optimise a cirquit and measured that yellow works best. Green sometimes, depends on LDR, and Red ist bad.... The reason for this is, that the main use of ldr's is measure daylight or flames. An btw, driving the LED with an opamp in a current regulated cirquit works best to transfer audio signals. BTW: I got this hint form an old electronic engeneer.

also, what you made is called an Opto-isolator, they come in 4 pin packages, so it makes it nice and easy for ya. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator www.ebay.com.au/i/251993168558?chn=ps piss cheap too :D

@EclipseAtDusk 5 лет назад

Alright so I’ve always been FASCINATED with synthesis as a means to make ambient stuff, cuz I love just the way a wall of harmonious ambient sound FEELS - and I never knew where to start. Now I do. Your videos have definitely made synths, especially whacky, modular, non-keyboard based synths, a lot more accessible man. I’m hoping I can build one of these in the near futute

@MrPINKFL0YD 4 года назад

There is FM (frequency modulation) and this (Subtractive synthesis) Love the old school Hawkwind sound

@LaggyKikee 6 лет назад

Please keep making these DIY videos, they're the best content on RU-vid, and us less talented people really like to try to build some stuff from time to time. Also, is that just an RC filter you added?

@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER 6 лет назад

Kyxe Music it is an rc filter indeed! Pop a Vactrol on it it’s quite nice!

@holyhotdogtoaster9034 6 лет назад

I was looking at your schematics from the original video, isnt it possible to hook up a audio jack instead of a potentiometer to control the tone?

@holyhotdogtoaster9034 6 лет назад

is there a difference between protoboard and strip?

@LaggyKikee 6 лет назад

HOLY HOTDOG TOASTER I believe protoboards are temporary and strip board is meant for the final thing (soldering it all in)

@holyhotdogtoaster9034 6 лет назад

I thought protoboard was the step after bread boarding but before making an actual circuit board

@grahamaustin4501 6 лет назад

I really enjoyed watching you guys taking your little device and actually working with the sounds it made. Even something as simple as Greg talking out loud as he thought through his next steps was fascinating to watch the sounds evolve and all out of a simple little box we can make ourselves. Top shit guys!

@ZElTGElST 6 лет назад

Fantastic episode. The construction of the pach was totally mesmerizing. Good work guys

@jeremyfox7599 4 года назад

Thank you mate, I love modular synths but i's always seemed well overwhelming but you have just given me hope of understanding all of this by breaking it down so simply and in turn you've given me some hope that I can get into building something myself some time as well as the motivation to get learning so that I have the required knowledge!. Thanks chap, strong work, good man!

@TwoGuysWithPants 6 лет назад

I’ve watched your videos so many times that I am starting to get a grasp on the basics, recently ordered a soldering kit and an Atari Punk Console to start with, thank you so much for the inspiration

@mehrschwein7378 6 лет назад

I've build a module with 16 of the simple oscillators from your last video as my first module for a modular synthesizer. thanks to this video I now also know how change complete sections of it. the most simple stuff is the best one one for someone like me who does everything on his own without much money and not much knowledge. a good start to understand whats happening.

@untrust2033 5 лет назад

What is the specification of the capacitors you used? I can't figure out which to buy as some say 10uf but then have a voltage eg 10, 20, but none between 12 and 18 Which do I use?

@einsteinx2 4 года назад

@Ora nge I know this is an old comment, but voltage ratings on capacitors just refer to the maximum voltage they can handle. So you just need to use something higher than voltage you’ll put through them, ideally with some extra headroom. So if you’re using a 12V system, use the 20V capacitors and you’ll be fine. If you’re using 18V to power it like he does here, you would probably want some more headroom, so look for 25V or 30V (both common ratings available), though a 20V should work if it’s all you’ve got. Regarding the farad rating (uf stands for “microfarad), he explains at the beginning of this video that the higher the farad rating the slower it will oscillate, so the best idea I think would be to buy a range of capacitors (they’re pretty cheap to buy an assortment pack) and use a socket strip like he shows in the video so you can swap them out without soldering and try different values to get the frequency range you want. Hope that helps you or someone else passing through the comments!

@tonizamboni7362 6 лет назад

thank you for making your videos about fun stuff with electronic modules more accessible to people who get immediately bored w/ how stuffy most electronics tutorials can be, your videos inspired me to get started on building modules and i built an atari punk circuit based on your recommendation, it worked after the first try, now i'm learning how timer ICs work and how to read circuit diagrams so i can build more things (like modular synths) :)

@cstrickland319 6 лет назад

@bsammo5205 5 лет назад

I first came across you channel last winter. I bought all the stuff to make these guys and for whatever reason could never make them work correctly. I was frustrated and threw all the stuff into a box and labeled it “ time travel stuff”. Soon as winter hits, I’m busting it back out. I really enjoy your channel. Man if you had some of your songs on iTunes, I’d buy them. I dig a few of the tunes a lot, and I’ve never really been into electronic music all that much.

@djobnoxious6407 6 лет назад

Hey there, my dude! Love your stuff. Here's an idea: Figger you could devise a simple on/off keyboard with different voltages to control one or many of these fine oscillators? I guess the rest of the guys would really like to get into MIDI integration... which I think you've already delved in. Think it'd be nice to have a simple, finnicky analog set as an accompanyment for our more sophisticate consumer-grade tools :3 Cheerio and ta-ta!

I'm just going to make a bunch of sets of these, then tune them all differently, have one pushbutton switch to each one, that way when I power one one it'll make that note tuned to the individual set. Have a bunch of push button power in a row, bam i got a keybord
