    If you'd of been born in the 70s, we'd all be living in a different future.
    I'm 53 and I used to manipulate tape heads for speed and getting the left/right to play on all the head and stretch the tape.
    Or Betamax to look like cinema film.
    I once plugged a Walkman into the mains and for a 1000th of a second I heard God itself just before it caught fire and the copper in the wire I was holding melted.
    Beautiful times.
    Love your work my Man.

      I had one of those cool toys that came with a long card with tape stuck to the bottom end and the machine would play the first part like "what is 5 + 5" and then it would pause for you to answer and you'd push a button to hear the answer. After some time it started sounding very demonic because the tape on the cards would get easily damaged so I started making my own cards with regular random bits of old tapes but the speed wasn't quite the same. Loads of fun nonetheless

      Yes, this is great. I've been trying to come up with a solid idea for an electromechanical audio compressor that would somehow integrate a harddisk read/write arm.
      Just really love the intersection of audio, electronics, mechanical components. Always wanted to build a plate reverb.
      Just feel like there's so much rich texture in the physical world that could be captured and remodulated onto sound. Like I'm thinking about that Steve Mould motion amplification video... could you take an extract of a video of some factory and modulate that onto the eq/saturation profile of a vocal track for a uniquely flavored distressor effect. So like instead of using random noise or something, it's like flavored/opinionated noise. Or instead of a static impulse response curve for a modeled guitar amp, the curve itself is subtly modulated over time. Idk.

  • @benjaminshropshire2900
    @benjaminshropshire2900 9 месяцев назад +1

    One cool ting that could be done with it is to build a sort of EQ. It turns out that when you are building an EQ in software, it's done by computing the output as the sum of a bunch of delayed and scaled (an possibly inverted) samples from the input. This is basically doing that in analog.
    To get that to work properly, you would almost certainly need *much* faster tape (the head-to-head delay needs to be close to some multiple of the inverse of the frequency and the delay between the write and the last read needs to be close to the response time you want). it would be interesting to try to build one out of a hard drive platter (using computer parts to do analog stuff would be kinda cool in an ironic way) or some other kind of magnetic media than tape.

    I have to say, I REALLY love your channel. Not only is it full of stuff I LOVE and know less than I'd like about. But also, you don't do the normal ridiculous youtube thing of trying to sell us on your personality and taking forever to get to the fucking point lol you're just you and whoever likes who you are will like your channel. And that's me. I'm one of the ones that like how you present things. Thanks for being fucking awesome!

    This might be my new favorite of yours. Fantastic. This reminds me of an artist that put tape heads on the fingers of gloves then made flat sheets of tape that hung on a wall with the bits of tape all lined up together. You would play the piece by running your fingers across the tape. I wish I could find that artist. If anyone knows? This is prob at least 30 years ago.

    You are the spiritual successor to the Barrons with this one. Creative and impressive, as always.

    This is a hilariously overblown BUT STILL SUPER USEFUL device you've made, Sam! Also: The saturation is fantastic!! By all means, improve the quality for optional purity's sake, but don't lose the ability to have that lovely saturation along the way.

    "Wow, mate, what a fantastic journey you've embarked upon with this COPICOPICOPICOPICAT project. It's like you've taken the essence of our tape experiments back in the day to an entirely new level. With six times as many tape heads, you're not just playing music; you're creating a whole new universe of sound. It's like watching an artist paint with soundwaves, blending them together to create something truly out of this world. This is the kind of innovation that pushes us forward, breaking the boundaries of what we thought was possible. Keep on dreaming and creating, for it's in these dreams that we find the music of tomorrow. Absolutely brilliant, mate!"

    If you are going to upgrade the copy^16 cat maybe the curve of the heads can follow a catenary curve instead of an arc of a circle.
    Anyways, most of the video was noise in my ears but it's really good to see you building stuff like this. All the various stuff you have to know and so. Your energy is contagious!

    Some kind of Nobel price should exist just for you. Tinkering the way you do has something to do with both technical skills and with highly experimental music. Cheers.

    Absolutely love it, I was happy just chilling out listening to your jam. Felt like some retro sci-fi TV series, acid trip movie. Very groovy.

    Insane result Sam! The resulting sound is incredibly warm, that's crazy. Seeing you fiddling with the controls during playback makes me think it would be awesome to have a set of footpedals to control the same things for a live performance :3

    That's the sort of experimentation that led to so many cool soundscapes over the years.
