would love to see you make a Delay disintegration module :D and cant wait to see more modules from yourself
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER really looking forward to the one module per month series Sam!!! This couldn't be more perfect timing. I've been an electronic music producer for 17 years (Drum & Bass produced in mainly Reason and Ableton and I just started working on Garage Band then Logic Pro X this last month), but I'm brand new to analog Synths and gear just last year (2019).
I just purchased the Behringer Model D for myself for Christmas and it arrived YESTERDAY!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 it's My first piece of analog gear! And I want to build DIY modules as well, so that's why I say perfect timing. SUPER STOKED!
And I mean well when I say, I truly enjoy your videos like this where you're not _as wacky_ as usual (with all due respect) the video is still very interesting and moved along nicely. You're so smart dude, it's awesome when you explain stuff and add detailed build logs on the second channel in a kinda more chill manner.
Really like your channel, and Simon the Magpie, loopop, Hainbach, Ben & Gear, Noir et Blanc (I think?), Cuckoo, Starsky, Andrew Huang, White Noises, and many more. There's such a fantastic community and Synthesiser people on RUclips, plus analog Synths and gear are on a comeback the last decade, I feel like it's a great time to be a part of this, even if I do feel late to the party. It's all about the music, and the people!
Anyway hopefully you get a chance to read this. HUGE 👍 to you!
Cheers,
-H.B.
Could you design a Transcendent 2000/Powertran-style VCO module? Both triangle/ramp-wave and square/pulse-wave shaping and modulation... and four attenuated mod source inputs... an interesting little thug of an oscillator. Designs in back issues of Everyday Electronics I guess. Not my area, alas... I failed badly trying to build one decades ago!!!
@@duncanthompson957 hey duncan it wouldnt be impossible sense they are reasonably simple but my question i guess would be why that one specifically?
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER ... Oh, sorry! Oops! I think I must have anticipated your question, and rewrote my question with reasons why it's quite an interesting oscillator -- especially if LMNC upgraded!! . I'm probably talking/thinking nonsense, but when I finally got my T2000 half-working, all those years ago, I was very impressed with the VCO sound. And it struck me as a good complement to the Kosmo 12222 sound. (Saw some interesting RUclips T2000 vidz recentl.) Thanks by the way for your continued creative, mind, aesthetic inspiration. This channel is formidable. Your achievements are inspired, genius-lunatic (the best possible compliment!!), and frankly unique and stunning. A gift to the world.
0:38 that's a reallly nice tape delay youve got there
Clef is Futile taped delay!
hahaha thats amazing/
ahhaha nice one ;D thank you

I think this won the comment section
i love it when you talk nerdy
talk nerdy to me ooojhf
Man, you are very generous releasing this whole project to your audience !! Congratulations!
I love music but I don't understand anything about "making music", however, these projects of yours I want to build just for fun!
Another added benefit of this format is that it is easier to repair in case it is needed. Through-hole components, and easy swappable arduino's ftw \o/
I just started building a synth based on your "old" 3340 design and now that I've ordered all the parts you come up with this?
Looks like I have to build a second one
don't worry its worth it. Also ... sam just put my analog build pics up on his page (DIY). take pics and send em in when its ready :D
@@illnessofjeez oh you bet I'm gonna send him pics ;)
LMNC you have no idea how happy I am to see a new VCO, I'm about to begin my journey on building my own modular synth, I cant wait to order the PCB for this!! this is awesome!!
Good work Sam the machine.
Don't overload yourself and make breaks + relax.
See you Sam, have fun + happy days and everyone here too ;)
People are gonna love them man, your at that point now, congratulations
I always wanted a vco with a radio incorporated. That way I can make some noises AND listen to The Archers! 🤣
I'm pround of you man!! Really!!!! Love your work!!! Seeing you grow is like you belong to family. Peace from portugal my friend!!
Thanks for the videos Sam , keep em coming! V inspiring as creating a whole bunch of videos for our channel the now !
I always "tune" into this channel regularly. A side note, I'm hard of hearing and thus need subtitles and there were none on this video but I've surprised myself in being able to hear every word you have said! There's something about your voice I find easy to follow.
Me too. I think the voice recording on LMNC's video is always very clear even when there's music in the background. For all the anarchic attitude the production values are most excellent.
Its so cool to see the CEM chips still being used! I played with them in grad school 40 years ago. I stand in awe.
When in doubt go for double leather jackets
nice bit 'o kit ! The tuner is well appreciated !
Nice that they're Eurorack compatible. Being able to DIY the basics but still get stuck in to some advanced bits of kit is great.
I hope these are still available when I have the cash. Everytime I watch a video of yours it makes me want to learn to solder and find the space to make something suitable for my industrial project.
Wow! Those look SOOOOOOOOOO dope!! Im so proud of you sam!
neat-o! I'm getting parts ready to make a 3340 based synth. currently have 4 ICs on order (cheap AS clones, because CEM is way too expensive for me) and that keyboard sequencer project you posted earlier is currently working for my arduino mozzi synth! thanks for getting me into this, it's really helped with stress given how the world is falling apart
Awesome, you might put out the first full modular line completly roadtested. 👍
This is pretty awesome! Was considering exploring the 5u format...... after i'v satisfied my 4u serge desire...... whenever that might be.... but I have to give this cosmo format of yours some consideration. Awesome modules, and great video as always.
Nothing wrong with small knobs.. in all seriousness though, having designed several Eurorack modules myself, I feel the space pressure of fitting lots of functions into a small space. Your format of modules are far more suited to live performance than Eurorack is.. apart from those really wide Eurorack modules that have one big knob in the centre. You're on fire with these new PCB based modules, keep it up and I may have to build myself a Kosmo format case :)
Sooo many layers.. love it! ;)
COOL!! This is exactly what I was looking for!
love the new instrumental, man
Fine, Sam, I'll build a synth in Kosmo format. You've finally convinced me.
haha. tbh its just eurorack with wider rails!
I'm loving Kosmo format. Sure makes it easier getting a friendly or not so friendly metal shop to cut non-weird sizes too!
An alternative to Moog Format would be MOTM which employs quite similar panels as you do Sam. And there are no bent panels to make. Maybe its worthwhile for you looking into that 5U format
indeed! but meh in all honest the world needs to get to metric! haha. be the change :D
"What would be better that just putting a tuna on it". Yep, go for it, man!
Awesome I love all of your stuff !!!
GREAT INFORMATION!!!
Top work Puchased one each of the sets ;)
Monthly subscription box, new kit for a module n some extra loot/merch every month
Yo Sam. Great Video Dude. Thanks for coming through into Synthtopia realhms.
I had an eye on these tuners at your show, wondered if the tuner code is available? Seems a bit like the Z3000 from tiptop with built in frequency counter, and the befaco even vco with its octave switches. Makes a lot of sense to me!
yep hopefully in the next few days a stripboard layout will be available too :)
You should do a few videos on prototyping new components from scratch, what goes into it, common components to stock up on for strip boarding etc.
Mmm i wanna build a mod synth for just tooling around on really bad, and luckily you have some great videos on how to do just that and i love it. So thank you LMNC, cheers from north Idaho u.s.a.
Ohhhhhhhh, it sound good😊!
thankyou!
i would love to add that gear you make to my collection and make a synth with your modules in it,
Dude, you're awesome.
I agree it's an excellent compromise between Eurorack and 5U. It's freaking struggle to fit all the jack and pots on a Eurorack panel and I stare at Illustrator for hours during the dev of each module... Why the name Kosmo :) ?
YAS!!! I CANT WAIT! :D
friggin brilliant!
I hope you continue with the stripboard ones since I wanted to convert all of them into a single pcb and make a pochetoperator sized thing (probs bigger tough but still allin one jup-8 type a thing)
indeed! im putting the stripboard vewrsion of all of the projects up too, this one because its taken a lot of prep this past week im a bit behind on it. but like i say at the end of the vid! the next video is a stripboard project :)
ha hell yeah glad to hear it, keep it up at your own rythm my fellow synth commarade also if yneed anything hmu
The Kosmo format is "Inspired by the simplicity of finding 20cm panels."
Uhhh, where can you find those? I've looked like crazy, almost no place seems to have them. Elfadistrelec had like two...
That workshop must be freezing cold🥶!
it is
Oh, crap. They are all sold out. There are still filters, but I have one. I've played with it a bit, and I love it. It fit just fine in 12HP. I've made 4 of the 3340 scematics with the widh modulation thing. 3 of them works awesome, but I got over confident on number 3, and I put a 14 pin IC socket in there. I plan on totaling on 6 of those VCO, but the last one I hope to get one with sine out made. I just boght another tuner, because the 7-8 tuner I have from before don't quite cut the mustard, I just needed a chronomatic one, because guitars only have like 5 notes on them. Maybe you could make a tuner module so I could leave the batteries, atiniuator, adapter cable and all that jazz? This makes me want to make a Kosmo skiff even if I basicly have those modules in 3U, or I just have one 555 LFO ATM in my 9v tuner jump skiff, but I am still making plans for a 12v with 9V circuts drum skiff that I have a bunch of parts for (basicly most of the stuff you where handed in Oslo are things I ordered for that and I got a bunch of or left over from the 9V skiff). Anyway, the Norwegian cutsoms will keep the below 32£ free til like first of april, after that there will be customs fee for like 27£ and 25% tax from first penny on all imported goods. Stay awsum!
hey chent by the way they are back in stock :). and there will also be a new module each month. skiff is deffo a cool idea! also the new ones ie the oscillators and filters mounting holes are laid out so they can fit in standard metal rails. like eurorack however obviously wider placement!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Super nice. The filter was a superfun build, and I haven't made a patch without it after it was finished. Spent alot of work and wires to fit it onto a tiny faceplate, so I kinda regret not just making it as intended. I'll definitely look at expanding into a Kosmo build once the DIY drums and VCO's finished. I can't open the VCO BOM, what program is it for?
Chent Saus oops I’ll sort out the bom
@@chent also! you'll be please to know i have already begun the designs of my drum modules :). there are some pretty funky designs coming up!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Cool. Got a DIY snare that I absolutly LOVE, because it has a piezo trigger as well as gates and all that jazz. I have made 2 kicks, but I can't seem to get any sort of manual trigger working, and the 12v I made don't sound any good. Think I will look more into MIAW.. I will make some more LFO's and stuff to trigger them as well, but I had this vision of being able to actually play all the analog intruments, like on my sampler. sTAY AWESOME
Very cool.
Hyped! Where is my pocket? XD
Not an exact science, but look on the side, below the waist.
@@tiadiad how did you know hahahaha
I've always wondered: do you do this full time?
Do you make your money by fixing people's synths and selling modules?
im a self employed person so it is complicated! half my days are spent in studios writing with artists, the other days are spent doing this
Hi there, just wondering if the oscillator driver is still in the works so I am able to link them all together.
Can you switch out the 1/4 inch jacks for 1/8 inch jacks when building this?
why would you want to do that?
sadly i think the holes are too big. and too far from the pcb, you may be able to with some modificartion,. but first off you should ask yourself why you would go from 1/4 which are the best, to little diddy thingies haha
Good luck with your music
Yay pcbs! Just bought one but I can't see the jack sockets mentioned in the BOM are they these from thonk pj612a-14-inch-jacks?
oops good eye! ill update that now
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I think I made you make it worse, bom link now has a link to a file ending ".numbers" its actually a zip but contains what looks like web page info, a few preview pics and page formatting stuff :-/
Love what you do! Looking forward to seeing what your next pcb / panels are.
looks a bit chilly in there!
Do you have any issues with condensation/corrosion?
luckily not. its a garage. plenty of vent bricks at the top. probably why its so frikking cold. lookung at a new place as we speak, hopefully including the museum of everything else too
Exciting! Would you say it's beginner friendly?
as i am not a beginner i would say yes, i think the first module i ever made was a pretty tech one it took me ages, however i had soldered before that. if oyur a prooper beginner look for an atari punk console kit to wet your whistle
maybe you can make a de-esser for the next time?
Yeah 20cm format is the way!
you need a casette tape module XD
We've used a 15cm standard for our DIY modular, mainly cause it's a bit smaller and more space efficient yet not so tiny that our PCBs don't fit (eurorack......)
We also make our own PCBs cause getting them from china is right expensive and takes ages!
I'm currently designing and building a modular generative rack with our own generative sequencers and such, we've got a RUclips series on my channel going for that, check it out if you want to watch some shitty low effort videos!
sounds cool george! i am a fan of your channel its good to see the builds! ill have to get up to date and see whaty youve been up to recently :D. as for 15cm definitely a good one. i used to do 15cm, but with big jacks it got very cramped very quickly so i did the awkward jump to 20. but your mini jack right? so 15 cm makes total sense!!!
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER yeah we’re on mini! We’ve been building a modular mixer for the last couple episodes, with every channel strip having a different effect/functionality. It’s been really fun for us! Next up is a midi synced quad LFO and eventually a generative harmony sequencer and we’re planning to clone a Behringer Poly-D with 3340s and a 3320!
badass!
If anybody builds this oscillator out of the UK a chip called the v3340 by CoolAudio might be a lot cheaper to use then the cem3340 by curtis. Until now, I havent tried one myself but I am going to
cool thanks ill have a look, AS3340 is a good one too
Was looking at that oscillation module thinking ... Genius ... and then DROP. lol.
Use turned pin IC sockets rather than those things, they’re much more reliable!
Can you recommend me some diy modules? I wish I could buy diy kits from you
If there's one thing that always bugged me about analog synths was the wonky tuning hence my dark side favouring of... dare I say it... DIGITAL OSCILLATORS... :-O
Some people (them pyooorists) will want to see my soul burn in hell for this!
All them wot not analogue, capture 'em witchfinder, set 'em afire, if they burn then they are digital.....
4:03 he said "suka"!!!
I want a day just messing with your equipment!
Fnarr!
Wait so are you releasing PCB's or just circuit diagrams?
pcb's
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER would be nice if we can get also the schematics to maybe convert it to eurorack on a prototypeboard 😎😁😻 thx man! Your content is awesome and you are unique 👍😎
Hi, person sorting by new.
Check out his patreon!
I like your build's Sam got remember sub to your other channel.
Now do you accept credit cards in your shop?
Krmpfpks I think so?
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER I was just kidding, I am sorry my joke fell flat. I was referring to your older videos in which you explained you don’t like credit cards.
I will buy your pcbs and build a rack with my daughters to get them into synths and electronics. I hope it works, at least I will have fun :-)
bro thats just as quality as many 5u
Maybe you should eventually start a manufacturing company, something like "Lomnoco" or "Lomunco"?
Less Computer Supply Corporation
Idk y i havent seen tuners on vcos sooner
I was wondering, where did you learn all of yours skills ?
just messing around with lego and stuff and challenging pedantic trivia
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I think my parents bought me the wrong toys when i was a child
how long do you plan on doing this ?
(making a module every month)
@@machmar i guess until i mess up one month!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER makes ense. Also btw let me know if you need help with anything. Im always here to help (if anybody alse reads this, I can help you too)
Are you using lead-free solder? If so, try not to
Greg Hinson I used lead solder for many years. But I have tried to stop. As I use it daily. I just keep ventilating and use lead free now because it’s all over my fingers all the time.
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTERAs I found out, there are not lead vapors, just rosin vapors you want to avoid
Greg Hinson indeed but also lead on your fingers.
wtf this is exactly what thought about in the shower today? a vco for playing live with rotary switch quantized to notes?! please just make this in eurorack
yo man!!!! oh sick! shower epiphany haha i'm working on this one! it'll be the first eurorack one, got a to list as long as my arm hahahahaha.
befaco already has one. w. octave knob, called even vco.
Balazs Sziklai indeed! And moog and ams etc but I’m thinking dmitri is talking more about the semitones?
Also your video chear me up to mate. With life being completed
Sam.
Are you planning to release some of this pcbs in eurorack friendly size??
at some point
Accidental drop test lol
again... nice work.
BUT we all want to know, how cold is your room ? 😬
very
Sam, you have to come to terms with the fact that long boring videos is what some of us desperately want
Как переводится название канала?!
It sounds to me, like to much plan. I like plans. But not to much. Otherwise like too much all other
You seem to make something every week that would take me 2 years to build. Why can't you just be normal :P
Sam's studio always reminds me of the band Information Society: ruclips.net/video/jWg-EMHPCME/видео.html
I'm pretty sure that Arduinos are considered as computers, but I won't tell your mum. Let this be our secret.
why do you wear a jacket inside bro
Meme Connect it’s 4 degrees Celsius in my workshop atm
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER ahh okay makes sense then bro
did you smoke or sleep too little ? your eyes look done
its been a looooong day, been getting all the documentation for this done since 5 this morning, shot this like 2 hours ago. and no i dont smoke any of that stuff, or anything for that matter.

Sold out Sam..al is sold out!!! no more vcos!!!
back in an hour! i only packed a few and put em up then fell asleep oops
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER will you have more. I looked on your site and there is no more
great :) congrats Sam :)
thanks :D
