00:10:33 Electronic Music Synthesizer , 'No instruments necessary'! "This is music with a strictly electronic beat". Man demonstrates synthesizer, bit of an anticlimax as it plays 'Camptown Races'.
Clip ref CF30d
that dude is like "this is the hardest beat of 1951"
Nice seeing you here
Dude that s**t hard in 2023!
it is the hardest beat of 1951 tho
Real trap shit
Wait for the drop 🔊🎶
It's mind boggling to think nobody on Earth at the time knew what electronic songs would sound like. I always wonder what would happen if I went back in time and blasted an EDM track, would they like it or find it weird?
Sebizzar
Better select your tracks carefully. Start relatively slow and melodic like Clearest Blue.
I believe they’d find it to be very bizarre, as they never heard such sounds and music before.
They would mistake it for industrial noise, lol
They'd either find it really motivating that their invention went on to do such great things… or they'd find it demotivating that their machine was being misused to create little more than garbage noise (to them) Worst case scenario, you'd make them charge the RCA Mark I with sledgehammers.
Dubstep xD
"This is music with a strictly electronic beat". There's a sample missed by 1980's house music producers, or perhaps not?
I think I might have heard it in Jazzpunk once

This is the RCA Synthesizer ("Mark I"). The man is the co-inventor Herbert Belar and dates to around 1955. This was the unit that coined the name "synthesizer" and there is an album I have, LM-1922. It is not chiptune (IC chips were not invented), not digital sound (which was in the early works elsewhere) or 8 bit. The punched paper input interface containing what notes to play and the sound parameters though is definitely digital and not real time. Ramond Scott had different tech mostly a little later. One can debate RCA had a real financial interest in a machine that could make music without musicians though the next gen Mark II wound up a research machine shared by Columbia and Princeton University as mentioned
Thanks! :)
Yep, the RCA Synthesizer is still in the Columbia Princeton Electronic Music Center on 125th street in NYC (opposite the Cotton Club Jazz bar!). It(s more of interest to history buffs than musicians at this point, though...
Thanks for that information that was really interesting a lot of that I did not know actually most of it Chuckles but it is really cool on Old technology like that that you didn't realize was around or know
🤯
@@geoffk777 I believe that's the mark II machine? I could be wrong. Both are incredible. Always wished for an accurate emulator
this vst looks pretty realistic...and it has an animated man walking inside the gui...
You idiot. That is an actual man!

It is humorously
Antonio Escobar actually he really wasn't, the first electronic synth was available far back in 1929 in Soviet Russia in form of Variophobe.
Europeans invented electronic music and the first electronic instruments so that's not so surprising. @OriginalRaw&Uncut
No

This is the famous RCA Music Synthesizer. What you heard is actually only a fraction of what it was capable of - it was actually able to sing along the melody as well.
"... with a strictly electronic beat." Best intro ever! 🤣
Not gonna lie, for the 1950s, even though it was just the Camptown Races song, it actually sounds better than some modern synthesizers. And that thing just used punch cards, vacuum tubes, wires, circuit terminals, and other pieces of pre-microchip electronics.
Amazing.
It's done the same way today. The sequences are still marked in a grid with sounds assigned to each row, it's just on the screen instead of on a paper.
It is similar to how Deadmaus makes music.
Same concept as a drumroll in a DAW. Actually awesome!
Considering this is the 1950s this actually doesn't sound half bad. It sounds like a Korg or Casio from the 90s
anyone know where I can get a torrent of this?
lmao
LOL
🤣🤣
😂
Try limewire
It honestly appears to be earlier than 1950, maybe it was erroneously "chosen" as a nice round number. Anytime you research technology you find that it always goes back farther than expected or what you were once taught in school. For example Infra Red night vision was developed by the Germans in the late 1930's & then used on tank (panzers) & also on rifle scopes for snipers during the war. Btw edison didn't invent the light bulb, it was Joseph Swan.
Amazing and inspiring. I have purchased TRS80 from Radio Shack back in the 80 and I used to spend the nights creating my own computer programs, those days were fabulous and revolutionary for the technology that was introduced to our world. I still have my Pocket PC2 TRS80, although it is obsolete but it is very dear to me, and it still works nice.
This has got to be the RCA Mark II Synhesizer, it sounds like it and the way the music is programmed into it fits the description that it worked with a paper tape reader.
They've got the first electronic music-making machine... and they use it to play "Camptown Races."
Well, that's why science needs artists and art needs scientists.
Sailor Barsoom They actually made other stuff with it.
Anything new? Something which didn't exist before? If they did, or brought in somebody to do that, then hooray!
Hey, I wouldn't be able to compose original music for it. But that's why we need arts and sciences together.
Sailor Barsoom Yeah, there are some early demos made with it if you look it up. The documentary showed something more simple.
That sounds like it should be worth the effort. Thank you for letting me know I should make said effort.
"This is music with a strictly electronic beat"... At 0:24 you're waiting for the machine to bust out with some 80s-era rap beats or Aphex Twin. At 0:25: :(
+Cranson Gonzalo
I'd lose my shit if it started blasting Ventolin
Cranson Gonzalo Go to 0:50 for some tr 808 ;)
+Joseph Rettler Actually, this is a nursery rhyme and it was composed way before the 50s.
It was chosen because it was recognizable and in the public domain
Cranson Gonzalo, of all the music they could of picked, they picked some Bugs Bunny shit.
This is probably 1955 or so. The RCA was not complete, and it isn't yet at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. The man demonstrating it is Herbert Belar, one of the inventors of it.
This is the RCA "Mark 2" Electronic Synth. The capabilities of this machine (the first programmable synthesizer) can be heard on the album LM-1922.
No, it’s the Mark 1.
Apologies, indeed its the Mark 1 which dated from 1955. The Mark 2 was 1957 - are you aware of any recordings of the second synth which apparently had improved capabilities?
Multi-pole 6 DB self oscillating resonance.
And a kick ass mod matrix.
Now that would make for a kickass VST.
The simplest form of EDM. Very neat! Crazy to see how it changed so much after 7 decades
Cool! Even with a Vinyl cut device can be seen. Raymond Scott had one of these as well :)
This is why ahead of it's time. They even played that RUclips copyright free music lol
Haha!-“No known instruments are involved”
funny because the computer is considered an instrument.
I can't wait for the next album
Amazing.
I´m dancing now-
In the future all music will sound like this.
In the future electronic music will sound exactly like regular music with instruments...
...and vocals too

very warm analogue sounding. this vst must be cpu hungry
Where is he gonna announce tour date?

Is that skrillex’s grandfather?
jojosan Skrillex did nothing revolutionary, he just popularized a shit genre of music by distorting sound waves
@@johnonthephone5625 same could be said for rock music. Someone popularized a genre by distorting sound waves
@@jeff-ps7fp but rock isn’t sound waves it’s literally just a distorted guitar, im not saying it’s impressive but it’s a better process than what Skrillex did
Talk about a piano roll.
Good one
The first MIDI synthesizer
I guess you guys aren’t ready for that, but your kids are going to love it!
Super, super cool piece of electronic history and gear! As of recently, I've been looking around RUclips to see what kinds of things people are doing with old tech and in particular, music related. I have an unlisted video where I'm using a Commodore 64 to play a synth solo over one of my instrumental pieces. Should be made public and discoverable in less than a week. The Commodore has the SID chip inside, which is part of what made it a great seller back when. It's state-of-the-art , compared to the computer used in this video! 😂
I'm playing the C64 via a guitar volume pedal at my foot to transition through scale notes. The pedal is connected to the joystick/paddle port on the paddle pins. Scales are stored in a que and selected by the computer keyboard during playtime. Hopefully, the vintage computing community will think it's as cool as I think it is. The software is 99.98% my creation. Thanks for this video!!
Foghorn Leghorn: Ah, say, y'all! The future of music sounds like this, son. Pay attention!
Mad Tribe vibes for days... RIP Olli, I miss you.
Back in the 20s Lev Termen make the Thereminvox, it's more of an electronic instrument, but essentially a synthesizer
0:25
It's been done for literally as long as computing existed. They were called punch cards, and the presence or absence of a hole equated one bit.
Using new tech to play 19th century music - but Ray Manzarek was on the horizon!
EyeLean5280 I like your pic profile about Michelangelo's Delphic Sibyl.
Really cool and amazing technology for the time. Back then
for 1951 shit sounds timeless. fukkin synthesizers
Looking back at this then, and looking at AI now... can you imagine? Give it 50-70 years.
WE MAKIN IT OUT TYE LAB WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ah, that's adorable!
ooohh I see! He's using Ableton -36....suite
Grandfather of MIDI
my fav EDM song
Sampled in Blackgummy's - THE MACHINE
i’m surprised they didn’t just think “Instead of using sheets, why don’t we just hook up a speaker to buttons that resemble a real piano, then have them play the corresponding note?”
The worlds first step sequencer!
This sounds good! I like it!
So it’s basically early MIDI.
I think it's basically the player piano-style style rolls as used on fairground calliopes. One small step for Man. ;-)
more like an electronic music box IMO
@@morganfisherart yeah, it's from those machines the term 'piano roll' comes from
I have to say I wasn't expecting that

damn yo fuckin phat beats !!!
THE FIRST ELECTRONIC PRODUCER IN HISTORY
Camp Town Races, shit is lit AF!! 🔥
exactly the kind of sample i was looking for when i saw this video
first digital playback device was a music box
This is fun and incredible at the same time
*strictly electronic beat do be vibin' doe*
Самым первым и прогрессивным на тот момент был синтезатор АНС Евгения Мурзина. А это какая-то осциляторная шарманка
This is sooooooooooo ❤❤❤
This just took me back to "The camp town ladies" scene in Blazing Saddles 🤣 "a real work song.... something like Swing lowwww sweet chariotttt"
Some people just don't understand the concept of musique concrète. It's not a genre or a subgenre, it's an experimentation and a main key to one of the most wide genre, later known as Electronica. And you don't necessarily need to actually 'listen' to musique concrète, it's rather a lecture to your ears than just 'music'. But you know, everything has its sound, even silence has its own, so basically everything around us is music. As our honorary *John Cage*'s _4"33_ also proves this. Some people might get it wrong, and I also have to briefly write something below.
Most people doesn't seem to know anything about it, and it's kinda paradoxical, since most people these days do enjoy electronic music, but sadly, know nothing about it. Sure, musique concrète is a bit esoteric, but esoteric doesn't mean it's impossible to understand or reach, everything is possible, if you kept to accept things which you learn every single day. Never force yourself, though, but try to understand the main concept first, to ease - call it a task or whatever you want. Personally, I do enjoy it, b/c of its respective backstory, ventural sound collage, experimentation and for numerous other private reasons. And my musical journey follows any kind of obscural music, which is truly interesting. Name Noise music, which is one of my favorites, regardless of the main idea behind it (Which I'm not agree with). It just expresses so well, that I find it very interesting to listen and understand on my personal way. Name avant-garde metal, freakbeat/breakbeat/noisecore/horrorcore, neo-classical music, experimental psychedelia, and all the other 'not so known' genres and subgenres, etc.
I thoroughly love music, call me an 'audiophile' or whatever, but I'm open to any genre, that oddly enough, most people find it weird, like, how can I enjoy noise music, and listen to classical on the other day? - Well, the answer is unsurprisingly simple. It's all about the moods. You can't be on one mood all the time, in fact, we're all individuals, a homo sapiens human beings, everything is changeable in our lives, and our minds are endless! I mean, the weirder thing is., how can one wonder, how is it possible to enjoy both completely different things at the same time? I mean, music is like breathing, eating, drinking, which are main components of life to live. How can you eat or drink the same thing over and over again without wanting to taste/explore something different, it means you're a human without a desire, which is practically impossible, at least for me. I mean, I don't want to go philosophical, but these are just obvious facts, so, I won't go any further from this. I just want to tell people that nothing is weird and/or bad in trying 'new things', learning or exploring, you gotta do that until you meet your very end. Life is short, too short, I'm actually only sad and afraid of not exploring the whole fucking discography that is exists in our world. It's an utopistic dream of mine, but still, dreaming is not forbidden, though, lol.
Shit, someone's read a book
"Some people just don't understand the concept of musique concrète. It's not a genre or a subgenre, it's an experimentation and a main key to one of the most wide genre, later known as Electronica."
mmmh not really, musique concrète was a french movement that started with the GRM during the 50's ("groupe de recherche musicale" created mainly by Pierre Schaeffer who theorized with his traité "Alphabet de l'objet sonore") with a few artists all of them coming from classical and contemporary music scenes. Linking Electronica and musique concrète is actually way too exaggerated since musique concrète is clearly avant garde and a work mainly on audio tapes (with sons concerts meaning acoustic recorded sound) when there is a dance music flavor (and mainly sound synthesis) in Electronica. Let's just say these are not from the paradigme socially and from a sub cultural perspective... Also, when there was at the time the GRM in France, the BBC was also experimenting in their own labs, the two sadly not corresponding with each others. In my opinion the BBC early electronic works were more an influence on electronica. I could have agree with you if you had linked Acousmatique music with musique concrète though...
That's a great copypasta

knew i had heard that sample somewhere
thank you! thats what i came to this vid for. couldnt remember the song lol

Damm electric piano be fire in 1950
this thing fire
It has a good beat and is easy to dance to...
Sounds slightly like the Amiga!
I thought it sounded like a Commodore 64.
Wait a minute is that how those stand up player pianos works.? With all those holes being picked from a long roll of think paper that fits on a spindle in the middle of these player pianos
Better than "skrillex"
I don't know about that, Skrillex music actually makes me want to dance, this is very basic in comparison.
pioneer of electronic music thats why this is 9000times better than f'king piece of crap "skrillex"
Please don't call skrillex a piece of crap, they have never done anything bad to you.
Yes they did. dubstep or other electro s*it causes ear bleeding, degradation of "music" for dumb generation
Oh. You're on of _those_ people. Sometimes i wonder how it is to be as stupid as you are.
Wait for the drop.
WHOA!
There is. I don't know the name, but it's in the Stir Fry Mix 2 by Rusko.
Aww!
when I first this and I saw it was from the 50s I said how is that possible
did this make anyone instantly think of tim and eric when they heard cam-town races
