Love the Sam-with-an-American-Accent character 😂
Tony sounds like he's gonna fight Goku.
Ron and Tony

Ehh Overstayed in USA
Forgot how To Speak English
Your play-by-play announcers are spot on 😆
It's just a matter of time before Spotify picks them up for a multi-million dollar streaming deal!
I'm hoping that Ron and Tony get their own channel solely for narrating build videos.
I also love how Ron and Tony randomly start swapping their names around as the video goes on. :P
Only commentary I've heard *this* weekend ;)
If you put over-centre clamps on the sides you could bolt the whole lot together and avoid any health & safety issues
Great idea
I was thinking the same thing. Latching or unlatching would only take a few seconds.
I came here just to say that or suggest support pipes down the side.
OMG LOL DUHHHH LOL. SIMPLE AND STRONG
ALSO..
Might need a counter weight too.
Omg, I was hoping till the last minute for some latch clamps, for sure this thing is gonna crush some unassuming bloke one time..
This reminds me of the several times I've got the case to rule all cases, put a load of gear in it, celebrated, tried to single handedly get it into the car, cried, taken everything out, got rid of the case. I've done this more than once.
This has got to be one of the coolest DIY and music shows of all time.
the voice over on the case build is brilliant
That synth shoot-out match-up produced some epic sounds!
I swear after 9:17 I was expecting to watch him spraying the new black beatstep pro with white spray paint. 😏
7:22 my favorite thing is how random stickers seemingly spawn out of thin air on the sides of Kosmo, it's a very very important part of the whole project.
If you take a page out of road case manufacturer's books, or the whole books, you could see if you could put some butterfly latches around the edges of the synth cases, and latch the two together, closing the whole thing up. You could also get some aluminium flashings for around the edges of the cases to make them look better. Maybe also try to modify that idea and make a cover or multiple covers for the main case. Maybe even put the whole thing on wheels at the bottom.
Quite honoured to have tinkered with the prototype keyboard on the stage with you at synth east.. I'm glad my grubby little mitts didn't get to spoil the fancy new black keys. Big ups!!!
That's actually a pretty smart combo of cirklon and beatstep
That frigging sports commentary had me in pieces 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hopefully money allows for us to come see you play in London, Denmark Street is awesome!!
Hi Sam,
The one change that I would recommend is moving the power plate to the inside of the case. That way the cutout protects the connectors from being damaged.
Yeah fair! I did a rubbish hole tho so maybe not haha. But maybe!
I demand an extended cut of the "Baby play your heart out" song. 🤗🤩
Very cool work! Maybe you could add a clamping bracket to securely attach the upper modules?
Sam you’re fast becoming a legend : ) GAZAM - a brilliant match up of you both for Synth East. Think you could have reduced the weight of the keyboard housing by about a third by using 1/2” (12.7mm) plywood. Black/white keys look sooo good. Luv the ‘sport commentators’ bits. And you are doing an amazing job of the church organ project.
P E A C E : )
Sam! I have watched some YT videos recently with roll-playing instruments -- the American Fotoplayer and Marenghi Carnival Organ (playing Queen tunes!) -- have you thought about creating a roll-to-synth (MIDI) interface and playing vintage music/piano rolls through your electronics????
The play by play was absolutely brilliant.
this guy is from another planet. I´m totally fascinated with his work.
I did not know that you could use saw dust as a lubricant for your keyboard. I will surely try that instead of sand.
Whoa, a thing of beauty and a joy for ever! And I love your cranky commentary. ADHD intensifying! I was rocking so much to that that I almost spilled my coffee :)
Loved the narration. Don’t forget to add handles…
Bruv you are a legend! I'm cracking up on the announcers while jaw dropping on the DIY.
The "Cirklon as a ruler" comment had me rolling 🤣
For weight maybe its worth making a aluminium box? 2-3mm would be ideal.
I used to have a heavy duty multi polar "industrial" connector for my car's boombox to be able to take it out(for security). think it was 16 poles, it was kinda huge used in the car making industry to couple or uncouple machines and their control lines.
12:09 " .. the game may never finish ... the game is life "😎
man, that is one badass rig
It cleans up and simplifies setup for sure, but it looks great and really helps tie the whole setup together nicely. When you get the handles on, maybe put some wheels on it so you can drag it like a suitcase?
Thank you for providing great informative and inspirational material. I just finished my first frequency central microbus to start my synth module journey. Machine Spirit be praised, it works!
Wicked to see the backstory for this one; I saw it at Synth East last week🙌
You need an ambulance gurney to move your console thingamajiggy. They're made to put the wheels up smoothly as you shove them into the back of the meatwagon, and then they fold back down again when you arrive at the hospital for your hernia. I think they are even designed to roll down steps with the slightest push. I don't know how they work. Magic, I guess. Looks like they are abundant on surplus and reseller sites.
Nice work on the synth, and fun commentary too!
I watched the whole video and I have no idea what is happening, white is black, black is white, millions of cables, love it :D
I still love that 'Steve Davis' is that actual Steve Davis :) I found out he did this kind of thing at a Glastonbury festival years ago and have followed him since, the Utopia Stong stuff is excellent.
I feel like 'absolutely mental' is basically the only way to describe these vids. Top stuff! Dead on American sports commentary!
What an epic next level bodge build, turned out fantastic. Loved your use of the term "Facs'd Out" I thought that was just a broadcast expression
Heavier means better, or the CS-80 wouldn't have been one of the best ever, would it?
Also, Ii want Ron & Tony to do running commentary every moment of every day for the rest of my life.
Love the harpsichord look for the keyboard!
"Height-to-Furby ratio". An often overlooked criterion in synthesiser design.
Mate, your channel is absolutely fantastic, quality content. Congrats
I’ve loved watching this come together on Petreon, but this summary video is something else. The commentary was epic!! :D
Hi Sam, greetings from Chile!! I made an analog synth 15 years ago. Es la raja jugar con estos equipos.
Ron should be renamed to Wayne, cause he sounds just like Mardle 😂And wow! I was just informed that Steve Davis, the snooker legend plays modular synths! Cheers!😀
That color-inverted keyboard is slick! I never would have thought you could do that just with some spray paint. (eyes yamaha keyboard propped up in the corner of the room…)
More work but: Voice over = Awesome. Litterlly kept me Awake and engage !
IT LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD. HOLY CRAP.
so much trust in that stand!
3:30-4:00 I was clenching waiting for it to fail!!😂
Mad Scientist / Mad Engineer / Mad Musician at work! Sam you are a ****ing genius! Keep up the good work mate! ❤
Kettle leads, on actual kettles, are C15 connectors with a notch at the bottom and rated for high temperature operation. IEC normally refers to the C13 connector without the notch. This has been a public service announcement.
It was a joke. But most kettles in U.K. don't even use kettle leads. Since c15 plugs fit into both sockets. I still think in practical descriptions they are pretty
Much the same. And in the U.K. both tend to be referred as kettle leads c15 or c13
Captivating as always.
Cheers dude.
Awesome, Sam! What a trip!
Yay i have made a couple of your modules and i am sooo excited to make more!!
Love your videos so informative!!
Reminiscent of '89 Electrovoice style, Michiana accent included. Come to Buchanan, MI when you're in the states and order a burger and a beer at the tavern. No one would think you were anything but a local.
your American accent is actually pretty good
Edit: MY MAN, vacuum b4 you paint. that was the only part that hurt a little
How are you going to get any texture if you do that?
I'd drill more big holes in the cabinet (mainy at the bottom), and if necessary cover it with some protection/covers, just to make the case lighter in weight.
Sounds like a faff :D.
This is really inspiring me to get into DIY woodworking. I find that so many of my issues with workflow come down to ergonomics and case flexibility. If I were able to construct my own case, it would solve a lot of headaches.
Seeing your approach to modding Cosmo 2's lower third is giving me the inspiration to do something similar.
Thanks Sam!
Once you choose to stick to punk-level aesthetics, you'll never be afraid of a joint 1 cm out of alignment anymore. Add a few more screws to pull the thing in place and that's it 🙂
NB: questioning the need to make everything perfect is an essential prerequisite
It can be surprising how useful woodworking is with a disparate variety of other activities. Being able to knock together just the box you need at any given time is remarkably handy. Mostly woodworking does boil down often to making boxes too.
Yo Sam! Thanks for the name check! Massive Hugz, fellah!
Plumbing strapping, great to have on had for apartment DIY!! I have two types. I used some to make a stand for my Waldorf Blofeld desktop module and a kickstand for my Behringer Model D and Moog Mother-32
You can have any color you want, as long as it's black! -Henry Ford.
Sam, watch out for the malicious revenge of pharmaceutical corporations, because your bass line progressions are more effective and eradicating my depressive tendencies than any SSRI, SNRI or whatever.
That was thoroughly entertaining.
Dude, you totally made my shite day much, much better.
You are the undisputed maxter....
Keep on bruv.
I'll never get sick of that sports commentators xD Made me wheeze harder than it should have.
The American sports commentator schtick is bang on! I can't stop laughing.
this thing is becoming such a great individual instrument!
Those commentators are amazing! Too bad they are not credited. Are they Heckle and Jeckle, Groucho and Harpo, or OMG Sam great job and so much fun to watch!
4:51 the beep boop logo hahaha
10:37 That black beatstep pro does look sweet, really blends in perfectly with the rest of the synth. Only have one critique… could use a load of cringey RGB lighting😹😹😹.
❤ Ron he is quite the character.
nice! i've been thinking of making something similar, but the base i already made works for now. It's pretty much just a wood box with some shoddy speakers and a looooong power strip. I left the back open to shove extra cables in, etc. and put a handle on top. def used a kosmo pin hammered into it for a little bit of style
With the bottom unit you could maybe have it split in half front to back and have the back half fold over the keyboard etc to form a lid
Would have to make the back half slightly wider to fit over front keyboard etc half
So you end up with a box ,same width, same height, half the front-to-backness, and the keyboard etc defended for transport
Pivots round the bottom of the front/back split
Top of the back half becomes front of the travel configuration
Back of the back half becomes the top or the travel configuration
(Mostly a comment to feed t'internet rather than advice 🤗)
Looks great! The 1-inch gap above the cirklon is obviously for cooling, right 😉
Us patreons know why it's there and what it's there for. Just sayin'
It's for one of those hot new quarter-height 1U modules.
Good looking instrument... And heavy looking 😉🙂👍🎹😎
Great content 👍
Brilliant work, it always amazes me! Well done, lad! Keep it up!
3:18 Nothing more permanent than a temporary fix! Edit: Very nice starting point! But after so many years with the white BeatStep Pro, the black one looks strange on your console.
The case is nice but is that an old television on the table? Maybe it's an illusion but that picture tube seems larger than the similar glass-cone round ones we had in the US. 10 inch was our most common size but we also had 12 inch ones.
That looks SO GOOD! I hope I can see it in person one day!!
The sports commentary was hilarious, Sam 😆 Loved it! However, I've been wondering for years now: has that setup ever fallen over? I'm not surprised you weren't allowed to stack it up at that event. It wobbles so much and that keyboard stand is seemingly less that heavy duty!
Harpsichord style keyboard, nice!
Those X stands terrify me. Had one collapse on me during a gig, and it broke the keyboard (which wasn't mine). I now use el cheapo mixer stands from Amazon, which have space for your legs if you are a sit down guy (like I am when doing piano things) adjustable width and stable.
Nice one, Sam.
Someone at the RUclipss decided I didn't want notifications set to ALL, that's now corrected back to ALL.
Top-tier DIY content right here, so exciting! 🤩
I know hiding all the lights is nearly impossible, but it would be neat if you could light up only the furby for special moments in a show. Everything goes dark except for a furby beat wizard. (You mentioned putting a switch on the furby, and I thought the opposite would be cool).
The keyboard looks great! But the paint..... I think you need to cover it with transparent (sticky) tape. I paint some outlet sockets and switches and after a while the paint came off at areas where your fingers go. On the switch covered with (sticky) tape this doesn't occur and still looking like brand new.
is fine :) cheers!
i have painted loads of keyboards you need to use plastic paint
and if it rubs off it adds to the look :D
why didn't anyone tell me the Cirklon can double as a ruler, that's me on the waiting list now 👍
Inspiring as hell
Your narrator voice is giving me MXC Challenge vibes!
Good lord that keyboard stand has a lot of wiggle in it. I guess it can take the weight. Rated for way more.
This really came together well!
Could you please make a video with a walkthrough of your modular synth listing all the parts? I want to create a mod synth based on your designs, but since i am new to this, i feel lost. I don't know what each part is and what it does. And on every video you make, i see new parts, so i don't know what is essential. It would be cool if you showed all the parts with a short demo of what each one does. Thank you very much!
super awesome fantastic
Great solution for the beatsteps terrible USB port!
Awesome built, Sam!
I'd stick some wheels on the end and move them like a bureau with q builtin hand truck, and loop a ratchet strap around the whole thing for health and safety 😎
Great build... just thinking out loud... maybe put some heavy duty casters on the left... a handle on the right (near the power input/output)... and fix some double X keyboard stand with clutch lock to the bottom... wheel it in.. lift it up... play your heart out. :)
From an ergonomic perspective I guess it would have been way better to put the sequencers down flat and the keyboard upwords even straight flat like a terrace. Love you
You assembled yourself a beautiful beast there
If you ever make a set of dedicated legs for the Base Case, you'd better call it the Inductive Step.
You're american color commentary accent is hilarious!
I thought the giant rack-mounted modular synth behind you looked pretty cool.
Then I realised it wasn't a synth, they were your components drawers.
