Ah shit mate I thought I was hearing things
Since Atari did take the 2600 number from ARP, wouldn’t it be great if one could be made to sound like the other?
I thought I was being teased into a LMNC arp 2600....
You should check out cTrix Triple Pump (Atari 2600)
You should do the sega game gear, the sega master system and virtual boy and see how that goes
Having grown up with an Atari 2600 in the house, the unique sound from it, the waveform, is hardcoded in my brain bits. It is kinda frightening to feel how deep it runs. Thank you Sam for rustling those neurons.
As a child of the 1970's, the sounds here are sooooo familiar in timbre, if not in melody.
Did you steal that shirt off my mum's washing line? Great vid as ever mate.
😂
With that shirt he goes stealth when in front of the kosmo knobs wall ; )
It’s a supreme jacket 😂 i have one too
it came with the Atari...
It's just mind blowing how crazy your channel is I love it!
Still one of the coolest guys in music breaking the mold going against the grain I love the creativeness. Thinking out of the Box and taking every thing and being the master of it that's awesome.
Fucking hell!! You're the king of cliche!
True artist
You creativity and willingness to share consistently blows my mind!
You sir are a Mad Musical Instrument Genius!!
Love dropping into your laboratory to see what adventures await.
Ohh it made me so happy to hear you reference little-scale and his work 💕 such an amazing musician and pretty underappreciated tbh
Ooooo, sweet. Love your designs on all your gear ✌
Awesome. I love unbridled creativity. Rock on sir! 🤘
4th way to make music: just smack the system to produce a drum beat.
Ya know, it does have some wood on it, and a lot of crevasses, that would probably work well.
I just realized, one of the big bonuses of making your own music is that you can add it in post production to segments of your vids and it fits perfectly.
I love the carsy stuff you do with vintage computers & game consoles. I collect & restore vintage computers & its nice to see you put them to a very diffrent uses to what they were designed for.
the Atari 2600 was my first!
Hooked ever since.
loved the lighting in this video
09:50 You have a mission
13:48 you accomplished this mission
Super creative, man. Love this.
Jamloopy is quite an innocent name for that wicked synth :D
Loved the vid Sam, keep it up. You're such a cool mastermind.
remember playing it as a kid, end of 80's, always loved that RAAAAAAAW sound!
and yes, my synthcart arrived today so i'm here to say hellooooooooooo, great video
So cool! I grew up with the Atari 2600. That jam loopy is awesome.
Santa brought me one in 1983! and a C64 in 1987! Addicted I was!!
Yoda are you?
I never have any fucking idea what's going on in your videos but I can't stop watching them and eventually there's always something spectacular that happens in a flash that makes me realise that's a whole other plane of existence you're living on and it's crazy AF.
Sensory overload warning @11:02 - Great stuff. subbed after your appearance on RetroManCave
I have the same one since 1982 with most games you have on the table. Nice video Sam thx a lot.
So glad I found this channel, this is pretty awesome. :)
Thanks Sam this was the usual enjoyable wizardry. I grew up with the 2600, you made it a viable instrument.
you always give good demonstrations.
Dude, you were making me a bit nervous for a hot minute! When I say you open that console up and stuff I feared that it might get ruined. After all that's an iconic game console but when I saw that you can still play games on it I could relax again. Clearly, you know what you're doing. That's a really cool mod. I never knew you could play music with an Atari too.
Hardest mainstream chiptune platform to use so color me impressed with you making it sing. :) Music tools for the 2600 have evolved a lot since practically no one can make music on it from scratch very well.
That was so damn cool to watch!
There are some other ways to make music too, which involve tracking on a computer first, then compiling as a ROM image.
TIAtracker which uses all the limited range of the TIA chip, a bit clunky but it works, great for making tunes for games and demos.
TIAtune which is a tool of some sort that converts XM modules to a compatible ROM image. What is nice about this one is, as the name implies, the tuning is actually pretty good since it is generated by the CPU. Literally all the resources are taken for generating music so no video code is left, but definitely good for more in tune stuff :D
imo
Good vid as usual.
Excellent way to chill after last night's neighborhood action here in downtown Chicago.
LMNC is just damn great!
imo
Oh so cool ! and from Crystal Castles 🏰
This is amazing. I've been working on a trilogy of albums in my head for the last several years...One of the albums deals with the relationship(s) between humans and computers and I want it to have sort a a spacey Flaming Lips vibe, and the Atari 2600 is a fantastic tool for what I'm wanting to accomplish. I ordered the Synthcart from Atari Age...I can't wait to receive it.
The music starting at 13:50 is absolutely incredible. No clue why you wouldn't latch on to that sound and continue forward with it in the video! I'd love a sequel to this if you were to down to give Atari music a second chance.
Those are some hyper-brutal sounds. Painfully enjoyable.
Awesome
beautiful that you put daydreamer as a "soundtrack", wow!
Look mum, I'm not saying it's computers, but.... computers!
One day you're going to have to make an orchestra of midi controlled retro computers!
eventually his daughter or son will make a channel called "look dad no ai"
The Atari 2600 or VCS is is hardly a computer, just a game console. No program unless it has a cartridge installed.
Gorillau - you mean a cartridge with a 'Computer' chip?! Don't try and let him off on a technicality-!!!
@@annother3350 I'm not sure where I stand with your fuzzy definition of computer chip.
@@laurenpinschannels or non binary sentient furby organ. the no AI will be ironic.
That was super fun🎶🕹
Awesome as always.
Outstanding.
Cool , so many atari sounds, to play with. love to tear into one & see what can be done, but I know little about electronic components. Love to watch & learn a bit.
HEY you've got a CURE polkadot shirt. found one, & then saw one @ the thrift store, that's been bothering me, I did not buy.
Very cool video Sam! I had the atari synthcart back in my teen years, but I never got a whole lot of musicality out it, besides a few live jams or so. Traded it for a reverb pedal ha. But fast forward to 12 years later, and I still have my atari 2600. I never got anything as musical, and workable as you, but I did find a CV in point where I can inject 2 sequence melodies in from my Korg SQ-1. It also doubles as a really nice scrolly-trip nostalgia video synth that changes according to your sequence too. These things have a lot of potential in them. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! Great ideas!
Love the music!!!
The jamloopy thing reminds me of Square pusher's early stuff. Lots of beautiful bleep bloops.
Well sweet!
Aside from Star Raiders, this is now ANOTHER great reason to pick up a couple of the pads
As a Retro game collector who spent year's obtaining one of these I have to admit it's cool seeing it taken apart
This is insanely fantastic, madly engenius guy
11:00 2600 Music? You sir, are INSANE!!! Oh I think I wanna SAMPLE :)
(sigghh, I HAD a 2600 - along with a bunch of OTHER Retro toot - til they privatised out Council housing and lost everything in a big nasty illegal eviction - now I have to be a LOT more compact - but your retro toot really DOES make me smile) - ROCK ON
Sweet baseline there =D Better than most music heard on the 2600 games!
Luv your music Sam..WOW
11:03 I don't think I've ever seen you frown before. It's honestly a bit unsettling XD
Great work as always, though!
amazing man
You're beyond good and evil my friend, outstanding.
Nice to see your Korg MS-10 in there... it's kinda funny to me to see it being used to play melodies 'cus mine was my "drum kit" for most of the time I had it.
The last one reminds me of early Skinny Puppy. Good stuff :)
That makes You Atari teenage riot
Love this
Very Good !
Those old 2600 sounds....part of my childhood. :)
I’m quick! Love you man
I think you did very well considering the limitations :)
Tricky or not that sounds fucking mental. Love it man.
Been so close to buying one of these. If I knew you could make music with it I woulda been on that!
Fantastic!!!!
is the best i ever saw maaaan!!! awesoooome!!!
great video
The vacuum desolder pump is cool. I love how it makes proto-perma pcbs like breadboard again but reliable.
The only thing i dislike about that tool is trying to get the glass tube in/out.
Interesting....
Always wanted to do something like this just dont know where to start. Pure amazing.
haha, amazing, didn't even know such cards existed, looks like real fun indeed.
That at the end sounded great.
That must be what Aphex Twin used 😁 love the 2600! If you need a spare, I have about 5 👍
That piece, beginning at 13:48 sounds sick!
man you have some real talent.
@6:11 t that pitfall sound is just magic.
I’ve said it b4 but you sir have skills!
There's multiple versions of the touch pads. I have ones that have much more pronounced buttons that are dome shaped. You can also use the sesame street pads, which makes it fun to play on stage because the pads are so big you can lay them a table and play them.
That one we used to play silly games on at my schoolmate's parents attic 30 years ago ❣️
Ooh, not just a sixer, but a heavy sixer! Nice!
Awesome
good stuff
Dude AVGN should totally do a video on this! He'd have a fun time with it! Cinemassacre! I summon thee!!!!!
Please don't.
Nice one Sam
I can't remember what the F stands for 🤣
I love that one. Had one just like that as a kid. Never seen those controllers thogh.
I love it! That sounds amazing! Started looking for a 2600 agein, but seems only the 4 switch ones are to be found on my local markedplace this time either, and even the 4 switch ones are pretty expensive. I wonder if I could load any of this on my Atari flashback?
That Jam Loopy straight-up sounded like Making Orange Things, mate ;-)
Sei un Genio%%% Grazie per le tue follie.
Genius!
God bless youtube for recommend me this chanel.
Dope
Song at the end was a banger
The third segment was the best.
Omg I wanted you to do this so bad
I still have the Atari that my parents bought in the early 80s. It has not been plugged in for ages. My crowning achievement was rolling the score on Asteroids.
Mad !!!!
10:56 needs to be a full song! That was some phatass bass.
Epic
These sounds will cause another video game crash again. Thanks allot mate!
Nice Zibra t-shirt, Sam. :)
14:41 your shirt reminds me the one Robert Smith wears on the cover sleeve of "Entreat"
