8:41 it took me a minute to take in how cool this is, youre playing a little keyboard in front of this beautiful behemoth that has absorbed all these gameboys, on these wonderful speakers, and the museum in the background
Nice. I noticed how much “better” they sound in the cabinet - the reflections off of the back and sides make such a difference with Leslie cabinets. PS - why not make a cloth covered grille for the leslies so you can run them even in slow chorale mode for the museum… With enough light you might even see the spiral. Just my $.02 !
Just a small correction these rotor units are not true Leslie speakers! they are in fact Italian clones tbe motor units are totally different (designed to get around a patent!) I used to buy these in the early 80s as th basis for a range of organ tone cabinets.
You’re what if an evil genius were raised by good parents. This is crazy awesome. Like I’d like to go to the museum and play with everything. I’d leave no knob unturned, and no button un pushed.
I love your channel for 1) the wacky music machines 2) the music and just sounds you create with them 3) your way of presenting them. Keep it up, this is great!
That is an amazing creation, sir! 24 (?) gameboys, modular synth modules and leslie speakers! My jaw dropped when I found this video. Awesome. Just awesome!
A thing of beauty! I wonder how it would sound with a "sliding door" port on the actual speaker boxes. It would act sorta like a wet/dry control, but also change the resonance of the boxes at the same time. No idea how it might sound!
The gem of all synths is coming along very nicely, I love the creativity that you to an almost insane level come up with. I love making music too, and your stuff gives me inspiration each time i pop into your channel here on RUclips, gotta love analog sounds. The leslie speakers gives a feeling of slight cutoff modulation boxing the frequencies. Very interesting.
First of all, you do look like a mad scientist playing mega mad organ. Second - the sound that it produces now made me space out so hard, I can't even remember what I wanted to say. Keep on fantastic job!
This is an amazing project. It's very cool to see all of your work coming together to make this cool place for people to explore electronics and sound. So many people who hoard stuff say they're going to make a museum... YOU ACTUALLY DID! 👍🏽 You're one of the most productive people I've ever seen, really. I continue to be impressed, even when I'm commenting in a cheeky way about some of the goofy/insane projects, I'm still impressed.
that little tip about turning off the sync on a virtual instrument really clicked in my head. i know exactly what you mean and hadnt thought to turn it off for some reason. WOOO HOO!!!
I’m so glad that I happened upon your channel. My nephew was getting into robotics and I just purchased him an electronics learning kit that comes with the book and six projects including a breadboard and a bunch of capacitors and some other components and with that I also gave him a soldering gun, solder, helping hands. And someone else in the family gifted him an Arduino and some extra bits and pieces from around the house electronics related. Your channel is going to cozy me up to that world even though your stuff is old school and what he is learning his new school a lot of the principles are the same. Even though I’m in my 40s if I lived nearby I would be begging you to come work with you once in a while. I wonder if Pink Floyd ever used baffles for some of their sound effects. Seeing you play off of your creation makes me wish I was there when Pink Floyd was creating their music.
Love what you're doing with these Leslie's!!! I have 3 of them myself. 1 single rotor like your's built into a wooden box and a full size dual rotor model and that's exactly the magic with those. The top and bottom rotors never truly spin in time with each other and that's the key to the Hammond sound! But hearing polyphonic synth chords through those harkens back to a pipe organ vibe with the stereo Leslie. The Leslie truly just makes everything sound better.
This was absolutely fantastic! I know this comment likely won't get seen, but having foot pedals for changing between the speeds would be wonderful to see - I think it would really open up the possibilities of using the speed ramping in a musical sense.
A fun simple module you could build is a 'gated flip-flop'. 3 inputs, 2 outputs: trigger, left CV, right CV, when the trigger passes the threshold the L and R channels are swapped between output one and output 2.
If memory servers, actual Leslie cabinets had opening vents all around them to let the sound out 360. Perhaps put some openings along the sides and back to let the reflections out? Could make the whole area sound more spacious!
Yes, leslies have some vents on the back and sides, not too many tho, or else the effect of the sound seeming to be moving behind and in front of you is ruined.
Awesome I'd love a Leslie but my neighbours would hate me. Closest I'm gonna get one of the mini ventilator pedals just to ease me gas. Great to see the museum is open and slots are filling quickly 👏🏾
Please replace those white stripes by RGB LED strips on the speakers. Also, wouldn't it be easier with control knobs attached to the keyboard? (like the vibrato wheels on some keyboards)
I am amazed at how good you got Gameboys sounding. It sounds like a synth. Once you get them all working, I think it is really going to sound good. Way to go Yo!
There's the issue of photosensitive epilepsy that is the bummer for that, but making it a switchable option would be good together with syncing the rotation to GameBoy screens/LED patterns would be good too!
Not even a strobe - just mount lights, uv ir otherwise, through the speaker mounts so they're underneath the rotating drums. Automated strobing synched to rotation speed
Amazing layout! When you were talking about putting a grill over the front of them (to protect stray fingers) I Immediately thought of bars... but moments later it hit me... what about motorized Swell Shutters like on cathedral pipe organs? That might add an extra level of phase or whoosh if they open and close out of sync... just a thought from an admiring nutjob. And you're our plonker!!
Very cool! 😎 Just throw some clear plexi over the middle and grill cloth or plexi (so you can see them spin) with holes drilled in it to cover the rotating assemblies and keep plonkers from sticking their mitts in there.
I would but not everyone has phones. So I opted for paper. Also I don’t even think people use those things do they? I don’t think I know how to use em 😂😂
It's like watching a mad music mistro at his magical music machine inventing his next musical extravaganza, fantastic, I love watching your creative wizardry it's almost magical how you get the fantastic music you get out of these wonderful machines, you could do a live concert and everyone would come I think, I know would , great videos
King Grand Plunker lol love it. Wish I could make it over there and see all that. Your need to use a 360 Camera and do a virtual tour in 3D, "Sight and sound tour" for all the people that cant come see it.
Wow, that's insane - I love how the out of phase creeps up on the in phase parity - Reminds me of a epic head rush doing bong hits when you are frozen for a few seconds as the tunnel vision starts to fade and you come back to earth LOLOLOLO!!! ~ It is impossible to duplicate that effect with programming a computer - Makes you wonder how people thought these things up in a time where this is what they had to work with.

Why are top comments always so simpish

I dunno lol, I don't like everything he does, just there was layers of coolness to that moment

They sound phenomenal.
When reading your comment i thought of Lights INSIDE the leslie drum... It would look like a light in sync with the leslie letting the sound out.
i would just leave em open, often the leslie cabs were open to one way

This is crazy awesome. Like I’d like to go to the museum and play with everything. I’d leave no knob unturned, and no button un pushed.
Right? Surrounded by cool buttons and switches and nobody yelling “don’t touch that”! I know I could spend hours in front of that game boy machine.
This sounds like something LORN would use, amazing work!
Rather than $pring for inverters I used pedals from old sewing machines. Now the speed is foot controlled and variable. Love what you do.
I love your channel for 1) the wacky music machines 2) the music and just sounds you create with them 3) your way of presenting them. Keep it up, this is great!
I love this! I’m inspired to make one, I love hearing these with a Rhodes piano! Thanks for the detailed explanation!
Yes, that is one of my favourite sounds for music.
A Wurlitzer sounds awesome through a Leslie too. Hell, anything will sound cool through one really. 😎
Stereo field sounds awesome! Can’t recall what I made that extension cable thing for, but glad I inspired you with the cable glands 😂
I am so fricken happy, lucky and privileged to live in a time where I can observe a passionate creator. This gives me goosebumps. So much awesomeness!
That is an amazing creation, sir! 24 (?) gameboys, modular synth modules and leslie speakers! My jaw dropped when I found this video. Awesome. Just awesome!
The mesh that's used for the front of rabbit hutches would be good, it's the welded square mesh with 12mm holes
Good idea! While you were at the pet shop you could have picked up some chicken mesh.
Awesome. I love this whole thing. Brilliant.
A thing of beauty!
I wonder how it would sound with a "sliding door" port on the actual speaker boxes. It would act sorta like a wet/dry control, but also change the resonance of the boxes at the same time. No idea how it might sound!
Is that tne nuttiest synth project ever made? Sam, You've seriously got to go down in some kind of hall of fame -- ok maybe not the nutty one...
I think he is making his own hall of fame.
I love how well the recording picked up the phasing, so good. GENIUS SAM! GENIUS AS ALWAYS!
It sounds really good! Organic fx ftw.
Amazing! you can hear the air moving. So glad you've catched up with that project. Conragts and Thanks!!
It's things like this why I enjoy RUclips so much more than TV. This channel is amazing!
You know that feeling you're supposed to get when you listen to ASMR? I got that multiple times after the stereo bit kicked in. Sounds so nice!
I like how you explain everything. Helping us gain knowledge.
Lovely stereo recording ! impressive sound it's soo good !!!
ON/NO on the switches - so simple yet so amazing! Love it!
Omg it sounds wonderful! I've been looking for this video for so long!
This is by far the best channel for headphones on the youtube. Always incredible.
I knew a direct drive was gonna be the next step. It already sounds amazing, but I'm super stoked to see where this goes!
A CV out from each Leslie would be handy as well.
Very cool, love it!

your channel is phenomenal and never ceases to amaze if i ever get out there your museum will be a must see !!
Great to hear that your first weekend open is going to be sold out. Awesome stuff!
The sounds from the gameboy mega machine are ear candies

Unbelievable! First thing on my bucket list if I ever get the chance to come over there..
it has such an ominous sound, love it!
This might be one of the coolest sounds I've ever heard, I hope I will be able to visit the museum one day !
This was absolutely fantastic!

The 1st demo reminds me of EPROM's center of the sun. Fantastic.
Glad I wasn’t the only one that thought that
Literally the best youtube I can listen to.
Awesome I'd love a Leslie but my neighbours would hate me. Closest I'm gonna get one of the mini ventilator pedals just to ease me gas. Great to see the museum is open and slots are filling quickly 👏🏾
ventilate your gas?
Neighbours are disposable , a Leslie is for life 😬😬😬
You should make the lights over the speakers strobe it would be a cool affect with the lines you made on the cylinders
I kept expecting those chords to turn into the Tron Overture when you got playing
8:10 eargasm. Lovely job. You made it!
Please replace those white stripes by RGB LED strips on the speakers. Also, wouldn't it be easier with control knobs attached to the keyboard? (like the vibrato wheels on some keyboards)
Superb ! Well done ! Sounds excellent !
Great stuff ! Your plywood supplier must love you .
I am amazed at how good you got Gameboys sounding. It sounds like a synth. Once you get them all working, I think it is really going to sound good. Way to go Yo!
Incredible thank you for existing
The speaker enclosure needs a UV strobe!
Strobes that are synced to the speed of the leslies? That would be amazing!
There's the issue of photosensitive epilepsy that is the bummer for that, but making it a switchable option would be good together with syncing the rotation to GameBoy screens/LED patterns would be good too!
Not even a strobe - just mount lights, uv ir otherwise, through the speaker mounts so they're underneath the rotating drums. Automated strobing synched to rotation speed
ITs the Gameboy Organ now. Thing sound haunting. f-n LOVE IT
You could totally do music for a Sci-Fi space themed movie. That sounds incredibly perfect for it.
just get some expanded steel grille from wickes.... also that first chord sounds like wonderful life by hurts, :D
Very good expérimental sound!!!
god, listening to this with my Hi-Fi headphones is absolutely amazing. i felt some of those notes in like, my feet.
absolutely in-freaking-credible.
Just staple up some window screen over the speakers. This sound and looks absolutely amazing!!
it sounds so good!!!
My man, you made the best synth in history, it is incredible
Sounds incredible!
Amazing layout! When you were talking about putting a grill over the front of them (to protect stray fingers) I Immediately thought of bars... but moments later it hit me... what about motorized Swell Shutters like on cathedral pipe organs? That might add an extra level of phase or whoosh if they open and close out of sync... just a thought from an admiring nutjob. And you're our plonker!!
When you tested the speakers, my cat started freaking out and looking all around looking for the source lol
That's weird because my cat was looking around like " what is that? "
Good stuff, sounds like you could play a cover of Edgar Winter Frankenstein on that
Wouldn't want to hang it from a strap around your neck though, that's for sure.
DO IT..
Wow...Now that's the sound that's required... Could maybe use old Sewing Machine pedals for a foot pedal control system. Love your work!
This makes an old Pink Floyd fan very happy ;-)
Once you no what a Leslie speaker sounds like you realise how much pink Floyd used them
So thick. Sounds like a big pipe organ.
Congrats on the opening!!
Tremendous work.
Wow this sounds beautiful
Very cool! 😎
Just throw some clear plexi over the middle and grill cloth or plexi (so you can see them spin) with holes drilled in it to cover the rotating assemblies and keep plonkers from sticking their mitts in there.
everytime you surpass yourself... awesome trippy sound
Panning from left to right has never been so much fun!
The Sound is out of this World!
That's some beautiful sound!
WOW ! Excellent ! Love it...
You should add QR codes in the museum that link to these videos. Makes it easy for vistors to learn more.
I would but not everyone has phones. So I opted for paper. Also I don’t even think people use those things do they? I don’t think I know how to use em 😂😂
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER As long as there is some way to link to your videos. You have so much good info on here. Keep up the good work!
Good point!

It's so nice to see and (more importantly) hear the GMM making music.
So glad to see the Gameboy mega machine getting worked on again!
Simply amazing!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Damn, that sounds NICE!
Wonderful, wonderful sound!
This made me smile!
Brilliant, solution for the front of the Leslie speakers is slim wooden slats maybe an inch apart vertically and if possible mechanically adjustable
Keep up the marvellous content and thank you for being so inspiring ☮️💟☯️👊
Wow, love the stereo effect at 11:58 😻
Plexiglas with holes as cover?
The stereo effect of being out of sync is so good! Thanks a lot.
This man is a mad scientist! He can't be stopped!
Fantastic. VFDs are also using in lift controllers.
King Grand Plunker lol love it. Wish I could make it over there and see all that. Your need to use a 360 Camera and do a virtual tour in 3D, "Sight and sound tour" for all the people that cant come see it.
Ganged pots to control the speed of both speakers together would be a nice upgrade. The sound result is insane.
Wow, that's insane - I love how the out of phase creeps up on the in phase parity - Reminds me of a epic head rush doing bong hits when you are frozen for a few seconds as the tunnel vision starts to fade and you come back to earth LOLOLOLO!!! ~
It is impossible to duplicate that effect with programming a computer - Makes you wonder how people thought these things up in a time where this is what they had to work with.
Expanded steel mesh would work well for the grilles, bonus is it's pretty cheap too.
Insane! Love it.
That tiny keyboard looks sooo out of place in front of the mahoosive mega machine! O.O That thing sounds absolutely lovely! ;-) Great work, Sam!
it sounds so amazing
