Vestax used to make a record for their controller 1 turntable that was just sustained synth notes for use with something just like this. So you could play a synth thru a turntable.
On technics 1200 / 1210s if you put the needle casing against the side of the metal platter you can get a rasping sound and then flick between 33 and 45 or use pitch control to play notes. Or as already mentioned on scratch records you can get ones with a constant note and play about with that 👌
Simon, you make my day bruv! I live vicariously through your vids when I get home from another shitty day at work and watch you experimenting with builds and music just like I would be if I wasn’t so focused on making ends meet. All your shit brightens my day home skillet, you tube, the music, podcast, all of it! Keep doin your thing man, it is much appreciated 👊
It would be cool if you could regulate the response of the speed of the motor… as it is now it sounds like the speed ramps up like a glide… so if you could somehow ramp up or down the voltage a bit to the motor to go anywhere from instant speed/pitch switching to really drawn out, slow almost tape-stop effect on the key switches, that would be awesome. Add a glide knob!
Very very very nice mods. locked grooves would be fun on that for sure. My very first RUclips video was with one of these record players. I was going to try to bend it. Never did.
While you were tediously doing all the tedious work inside, you could have added a power input. It would have made your life easier since you don't have the battery cover.
It would be really cool to get records that just have a single wave form so you could play the record. I'm not sure if anything like that has ever been manufactured though. I feel like people would buy something like this, if someone made a decent affordable version, and pressed records with high end recordings.
Check Hainbach's recent video on entirely other thing that does what you describe with a keyboard and turntable; why these even got invented is beyond me but it is interesting...
This is my all time favorite instrument he's made! I would most definitely buy this. A way to speed up or slow down the speed at which new notes start would be great but that would probably require another driver to be installed.
I'm making a version of the Cassettone MK1 with 13 keys, which is wired up in a similar way, and you're right. It's so tedious! I spent a good chunk of the weekend and last night, and I've only got 8 of the keys wired up (it's my first project like this, and I didn't have the foresight to use a breadboard).
Ah Magpie have seen the GAKKEN TOY RECORD MAKER? I’m sure you’ve come across it or someones mentioned it. It’s a DIY super Lofi vinyl recorder where you can plug stuff into. Might be perfect for bending! 🎤 🎤 🎤 🎤 👏👏👏👏
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!! I was quite sad that during the Covid Lockdowns you were absent, but you're back!!!!! And I'm quite sure that sometimes you're a little stoned, lol. Which is great, because sometimes I am too. 🤣🤣🤣
I have to run to the train so I don't have time to check if this is mentioned by another commenter, but you should try to get a hold of a record with a straight tone that goes on for a while, lock the pick up with a piece of string or whatever and, by pitching, play it kind of like a mellotrone. Also drum loops on the record would be cool maybe.
Hey simon! I have a great idea for you :) see if the turntable is powerful enough to drive your gramdeck... record a tone onto a loop and there you have a poor man's mellotron. I wanna send one to hainbach for his midi turntable too hahah.
This is such a cool mod, my favourite one you've done so far! Also where can I buy the hoodie you're wearing with the paint splatter and sketched bird? Can't find it on the merch website
Una duda, hay alguna forma también de apagar y prender el efecto de las teclas? Tengo una identica y me gustaría modificarla como tu lo hiciste aun que me gustaría llevarsela con alguien que sepa de electrónica
Have you ever checked the book TOY INSTRUMENTS (Mark Batty Publisher, 2010). There are lots of stuff in it you may have never seen... or heard of it :)))
Get some lock grove records, Paul Tas of error instruments is looking into getting some samples put on to vinyl as lock grove tracks. You should chat with him
I have not yet. I have some potentiometers, but have not sorted switches, and am not sure if the pots are the right ones. I actually picked up another one, so thinking about a portable scratch setup…
Been a fan for a while but forgive me if this was covered. Do you have a formal education that relates to what you do or did you just figure this out? Mostly referring to the engineering side but also curious about musical background
Ah that's......if like an MPC like a n old 1200 could secretly evolve without any natural predators for half a million years and became more like a a synth version of a sloth, and.... then revealed itself to the world, and .. here it is... it morphs and glides between portions of its vinyl stimuli, in its own dorothy, wonky way... and so here it is, waiting to be a superstar . It consciously transformed itself for hundreds of thousands of years in secret... to be #1 at its goal of manipulating vinyl discs, which by now is its main trigger to activate any of its self developed senses af took what its reality is... ah, what a useless and mostly unloved , but fun journey it took to get here, Mr Random addict McBlasterson. Thank you for this episode of a sentient and self- imposed biosynthetic alternative evolutionary creation, self designed purely to interact and manipulate with circles of vinyl discs with ripples and grooves to give it some sense, a purpose, and a curiosity , for what else that it's small, small universe of competitive but narrowly focused ambitions of revenge truly is and could be. Nice.
Ah my soulmate 🤗

Hainbach has just got the very one on his channel. Check it out.
I have a few scratch records with looped synth samples you can use pitch control to do some fun stuff with them
@@TRIPPLEJAY00 I figured that was what inspired this video
Hi, I'm Simon the magpie and it's good to have you back
On technics 1200 / 1210s if you put the needle casing against the side of the metal platter you can get a rasping sound and then flick between 33 and 45 or use pitch control to play notes. Or as already mentioned on scratch records you can get ones with a constant note and play about with that 👌
This music must be what the inside of your head sounds like. Love it!
Now you just gotta find a vinyl disc thats just a sine wave
There are plenty locked grooves with tones and sounds out there.
The track you worked on in this really remind me of early Daedelus' early stuff, and I'm into it!
I love how it went from accordion sounding thingy, to trippy fairground/circus calliope thingy... thing..
This really reminded me of how the composers of Earthbound used a bunch of samples from pop music to create something entirely new. Really cool.
This is cool on so many levels.
The song turned out so good.
Simon, you make my day bruv! I live vicariously through your vids when I get home from another shitty day at work and watch you experimenting with builds and music just like I would be if I wasn’t so focused on making ends meet.

Checking out your albums finally! I have some blank cassettes that will soon have magpie music on them!
Hahah that thing is great!
Very very very nice mods. locked grooves would be fun on that for sure.
My very first RUclips video was with one of these record players. I was going to try to bend it. Never did.
the track you made with this thing is wild! sounds like something you'd hear in earthbound
Thought the same exact thing!

I wonder if a sine wave records exist...It sounds like they should.
They do make those. Hainbach just had a video on a turntable from Japan that does just that.
Check Hainbach's recent video on entirely other thing that does what you describe with a keyboard and turntable; why these even got invented is beyond me but it is interesting...
You could try some timecode records, they normally have a constant pitch and weird artefacts. Nice idea!
I think there's test records that you use to measure wobble and flutter
This would be the perfect tool for making lofi electro swing.
This isn’t Toontown
Maybe steal one of Hainbach's dub plates to use with this thing? ruclips.net/video/DqXTKm02d3Q/видео.html
Every time I watch one of these I'm like "dang, this guy is on my wavelength"
So thanks for visiting me on my wavelength, Simon!
OMG I think that's me, I've been (semi) quoted by Simon the magpie
This is litterally amazing!
you could really do so much with this. a tape version would be really cool too, especially with looping tapes
This is my all time favorite instrument he's made! I would most definitely buy this. A way to speed up or slow down the speed at which new notes start would be great but that would probably require another driver to be installed.
It's like using a portastudio as an instrument.
This is like the weird side of pop music and I’m here for it, every single time.
Congratulations! You invented the Mono-Magitron
It'd be nice to have a control for the rate at which it "slides" to another speed. But the hardware probably isn't that strong
Didn't think you'd be able to pull that into a really nice sounding piece. You did though. Superb.
this is what i was hoping for last time, HELL YEAH

You may have created a whole new genre here 👍
it sounds like the soundtrack to many cartoons from the 70s lol. Very cool.
Simon I appreciate you. Big respect from London. Peace my Brother 🙂✌️
1€ budget anwer to the latest hainbach video. Love it ^^
ALWAYS thought inspiring....thank you, Simon.
DUDE! I Love the Shenanigans!!!
Ah Magpie have seen the GAKKEN TOY RECORD MAKER? I’m sure you’ve come across it or someones mentioned it. It’s a DIY super Lofi vinyl recorder where you can plug stuff into. Might be perfect for bending! 🎤 🎤 🎤 🎤 👏👏👏👏
Hey! Had no idea but ordered one NOW !!!! Hyped 😁😁
@@SimonTheMagpie Rad, looking forward to see what you mod up!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!! I was quite sad that during the Covid Lockdowns you were absent, but you're back!!!!! And I'm quite sure that sometimes you're a little stoned, lol. Which is great, because sometimes I am too. 🤣🤣🤣
Your videos help me out of corners of uncreativity
I have to run to the train so I don't have time to check if this is mentioned by another commenter, but you should try to get a hold of a record with a straight tone that goes on for a while, lock the pick up with a piece of string or whatever and, by pitching, play it kind of like a mellotrone. Also drum loops on the record would be cool maybe.
It would be cool if you implement a mode where every note you play changes the direction of the record
hainbach literally just made a video of this concept with dubplates hahaha. still a dope video!
I just made a tape player do something similar. This was alot of fun to watch
Hey simon! I have a great idea for you :) see if the turntable is powerful enough to drive your gramdeck... record a tone onto a loop and there you have a poor man's mellotron. I wanna send one to hainbach for his midi turntable too hahah.
was not expecting the full paprika ensemble :)
Would like to see this with some sort of sample & hold setup, but I guess that's more easily done in software
Its okay, I thought I was dead too
This is such a cool mod, my favourite one you've done so far! Also where can I buy the hoodie you're wearing with the paint splatter and sketched bird? Can't find it on the merch website

Good musician 👨🎤 Good technician 👨🔧
It's kinda like a weird Optigan
There's definitely a David Lynch soundtrack emerging. Also i'm not dead. At least I wasn't last time I checked.
Simon damn I love your stuff
Maybe you could get a test record with a constant 1k or 440hz tone.
this is so awesome !!!!!
You could create a loop by adding tape to the record causing the stylus to jump back a rotation like Turntablist do.
If you got someone who knows cad-design they could help make the battery flap with 3d printing!
That jam reminds me of the time i left a bag of drugs in my brain then lost the bag..
Have you ever checked the book TOY INSTRUMENTS (Mark Batty Publisher, 2010). There are lots of stuff in it you may have never seen... or heard of it :)))
1:11 this part made my day lol
This is my new favorite from you 🔥🙌🔥
There was some brief moment where it reminded me of something by Paniq. Dunno what though.
I bet scratching the record while playing the keyboard would be very fun
Well done man!
THIS is ace (and what I wanted too)... what is that record you use? What a track.... what a track!
Great song!
Get some lock grove records, Paul Tas of error instruments is looking into getting some samples put on to vinyl as lock grove tracks. You should chat with him
That’s so cool!
Simon the Magpie, Master of Insanity LOL
Him and “Lookmum” mad geniuses.
opportunity to make the day taken!
Don't mind me, I'm just making your day.
where can i find this track in mp3?
4:40 reminds me of the dementia album
Throw on an old Daft Punk record or some sort of funk song, the less chord changes the better. Let the organ do the progression
Nah. Two records is too chaotic. lol
Is this the bizarro world version of Hainbach’s last video?
From about 7:00 on it all makes sense very legit super cool sounds :D :D
Ainda tenho um desses em casa funcionando 😊
i think ure great and a nice person
should start selling these....
hella hype
👏👏👏👏👏 Es genial! Love it!
real nice
It's kinda like a mellotron
What size trimpots did you use for this? I just picked one of these up and will have to do this mod!
Also curious, just bought one on eBay as well
Did you happen to mod yours?
I have not yet. I have some potentiometers, but have not sorted switches, and am not sure if the pots are the right ones. I actually picked up another one, so thinking about a portable scratch setup…
what (vocal) microphone is Simon using?
Holy damn you’re the coolest
re flashero amigo!
dope
lock groove records
I think you made a new genre 😉
reject new genre, embrace nongenre 🤖

Wow
I want one :)
Ayyyye
This needs some signal boosting so people finds this👍
5:00 - 5:12 I will sample
✨💖🎶
