  • Here I attempt to record the electric sounds of VFD's. At first I fail but in the end it's a great success after all.

    A sound designer playing around hitting things that make interesting noises is the childhood experience and experimentation that society tells you is bad. Wish I didn’t grow up in some aspects. Glad Posey is here to be the adult version of me as a child that grew up the right way.

    Would be so cool if you made a sound effect library, these are very unique.
    If so i would surely spare a feel bucks to get it to use on my videogame projects.

      I totally agree! I thought these sounds would fit perfectly to spaceships for example. I mean, more unusual sounds have been used for spaceships.... If I recall correctly they used pig squeels speed up in Starwars..

    I'm "old", and I'm deaf from 15k or 16k on, I barely hear CRT monitors but oh my, this video and the sound at the end, I can't imagine how it sounds to someone who can still hear those frequencies. Amazing the way it ramps up (in pitch), awesome.

    • @prgnify

      I just opened a spectrum analyser, it seems like it does not go past 12k? I think I'm going crazy then.

    • @lazyposy
      @lazyposy  Год назад +17

      The good news is that there's often not much information in these super high frequencies anyway. But I shiver for the day I won't hear crickets anymore.. (If I may ever get that old)

    I do not think VFDs are an actual true vacuum. In vacuum tubes for example, they are close to a vacuum, but if it were a true vacuum the degradation of various components inside the tube would eventually fill the atmosphere inside and interfere with its function. So they actually put specific gases and/or coatings inside the glass that are there to intentionally react with whatever is expected to gas out from whatever the tube is made of. Sometimes inside a vacuum tube you'll see a silver coating on part of the glass... and that's exactly what that is. It's there to react with volatiles produced during use, not unlike how they put zinc plates on the hulls of metal ships or metal damns to make the steel last longer by reacting with volatiles before they can react with the steel.
    I haven't heard specifically that VFDs are filled with similar gasses, but it would certainly make a lot of sense if they were. I would be very surprised if they weren't.

      VFD's do have so called 'getters' described in your comment, usually vaporized onto the glass near the filament springs. So VFD's are actually true vacuum tubes. Just the same kinda stuff as the magic eye in old tube radios, or the CRT tube in old TV's and monitors. The first VFD's were produced with the same cylindrical glass walls as the normal radio tubes were. It is literally a cathode ray tube, designed to work with voltages as low as 50 V. The filaments are cathodes, usually glowing in very faint red, and have a thermionic coating; the fine grid is, well, the grid, and the the segments with the fluorescent coating are anodes. VFD's become faint over time because of material sputtered from the cathode filaments, onto the phosphors.

      Even if it isn't fully vacuumed, it has to be in more vacuum tube like conditions because just like regular vacuum tubes, they only work when electrons can flow inside them, something that cannot happen in normal air

    The main vid was great, but the pitch-bending cathodes here were really great. Did they get mention in the main-vid, and I just missed it? I really dig this level of exploration, like you did with the bubbling-effect of the weird old LCDs.

    • @Mainyehc
      @Mainyehc Год назад +2

      Interesting… Probably it does, because the strings don’t suffer from any air resistance and can thus vibrate for much longer, but even though they don’t resonate on the inside they still transmit their vibration to the entire structure, which then emits its own sound waves from it.

    There's some influencers extolling the virtues of the Korg Nutube. Yet this video proves how useless VFDs are as triode amplifiers. Back in the day, if any valve was microphonic, it got rejected. If one likes bongs and pings, then yeah, VFDs are great for that. but for low noise quality amplification, NO!, VFDs are not good.
