Seeing LMNC sitting quietly and peacefully is super weird.
The_Great McGnome he looks so mad lol
Lol 5 seconds in I looked at the comments to see if people were talking about Sam not being in motion XD
Not even Sam can overpower hainbach’s immense chill.
"That's the advantage of having a big knob."
- Hainbach.
So true.
god the 3 of these guys together is hilarious
It's really funny seeing LMNC and Hainbach out of their element. DUPLICATE! DUPLICATE! YES!
waow the beginning is so silly and then turns to a sublime orgy of frequencies....impressive how you made digital and analog collide and then unite into some glorious ryhtmic drone
This is orgasmic. It's what I feel Aphex Twin's constructive development goes when he produces.
Hainberg, LMNC, and Reaktor, Thank you.
Great to see Sam & industry wizards on this channel. Fantastic sounds achieved in this video. I wish the video was triple the length!
I never think that I saw LMNC near a computer! Great job Hainbach! For real, very nice video and experimentation, showing the power of digital modular patching.
I wonder if this will lead to the birth of LOOKMUMNEWCOMPUTER...
LOOKMUMCOMPUTERBUTJUSTFORREAKTOR
...and for mixing and editing tasks, as before.
It's a pleasure to observe you, guys.
You are taking it seriously, while at the same time, everyone is having fun together!
Great team! LookMum is a crazy genius !
WTF??? The RUclips algo recommended LookMumNC to me yesterday while looking for DIY synths...
Now here he is with you...
The synchronicity is strong in this one.
Synthronicity
@@Dipwad You sir are today's winner of the internet.
I love that HAINBACH and LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER are friends. They are like yin and yang: Hainbach's music clean, slow and ambient, Sam's music loud, gritty, and thumping; Hainbach's studio full of light and white instruments, Sam's studio full of spray painted, black synths. The two are brought together through a love of electronic music. Beautiful.
Also, from left to right: Chaotic, Lawful, Neutral. Good, neutral, or evil? I don't know.
Reminds me of an old friend who introduced me to ARP Odyssey in about 1978.. A great enthusiast of its capacity for farty sounds, about the highest compliment he could pay to a patch was: "Wet one!"
This comment made me happy to go full fart in thumbnail and description, which is usually not my humor.
Love how genuinely into it Hainbach and LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER get. Like you can tell they are really curious as to how you can get close to analog sounds digitally
This is my dream team assembled. Thank you!
Fantastic video showing the unique harmony between test gear/modular analog and the digital versions that evoke a similar but slightly different audio "viewpoint" to the composition! I love it all! I use both mediums in my work and I love the complexity of analog and test gear but digital can do some crazy shit as well at times! Great video!
Please Guys: Don't lose faith... Analog is the jam. I love your spirit. You both share the same love as me for sound (not just musical sound) This was a touching piece; I've watched most of your posts (like, all of you), and I appreciate the hard work and time it takes to jam out this kind of content - a huge relief for all of you I'm sure to be able to collaborate like this amongst commonly interested parties and have some real fun in the process of monetizing a plethora of well captured videos.
admittedly I only have Rack for Mac OS in terms of modular, but it integrates well with my other stuff via MIDI really well sooo.... But that fart machine is what I want in my life...
I was updating Reaktor to the new version when I turned this video on. Dr. Parker, thank you and your team for making the deepest, stickiest piece of music software I own; today while at work I was totally distracted by a Primary project I'm thinking up.
The sounds of old sci-fi flicks from the 1950s... I can see the big-headed alien leaving the ship, fart gun in hand. The terrified dumb guy in a suit, standing nearby, empties his revolver in a panic, desperately hoping to stop the alien. But to no avail. Big head dispassionately aims and fires his fart pistol. The suited man instantly vaporizes in an FM modulated sawtooth energy burst. Ah... the good old days!
Oh I love those movies! Sunday afternoon program.
@@Hainbach Reminds me of the Frank Zappa song Cheepnis :)
@@SendyTheEndlessIt Conquered the World, was the movie Zappa was referring to. The "Ice Cream Cone" monster that leaves the cave. I hadn't thought of that song for years. A great tune.
I used to work on a program a lot like an open-source Reactor-a-like called SpiralSynthModular... We had so many modules on top of modules on top of modules... but that mouse and keyboard just weren't "real music" enough. A keyboard and a screen feels like "work" not "play". I'm now working on a much more limited synth based on the old guts of SSM that might do a lot less but will have a "real" knobs and dials interface that will be just so much nicer to use.
I feel this, I've only just gotten my hands on a physical synth, but it feels way more interactive and alive than making synths on a computer
Agreed, but with midi learn and open sound control and a nice flexible controller/tablet you can very quickly assign controls and macros, like in seconds. Like any software platform, the more you optimize the workflow, the more musical and intuitive it becomes.
Wow, very cool. I like to close my eyes to feel the music too, and I have been torn between both worlds for a long time. You show how to blend worlds in many ways.
now this just looks like fun, from the finest quality!
I love it when 3 nerds/boffins/mad scientists get together and get excited about modulating oscillators and tweaking 12 dB low pass filters, this reminds me of my post grad days (early 90’s) messing with B&K gear and music software to get the right roll off rate for diesel engine noises (10dB per decade always sticks in my memory)....
More of this please ! It’s fantastic !
That was a very fun and strange video. Thanks!
Dam, that jam at the end. That was amazing!
Never owned any real modular synthesizers myself, but I've spent countless hours patching through NI's REAKTOR since the 3rd incarnation (20 years ago?). This video was all around amazing.
That fart box/computer jam! Just beautiful beautiful beautiful...
I have this theory that combining similar sounds created by wholly different technologies does something organic and beyond either component sound that achieves an order of transcendent awe quite beyond the component elemental parts could reach separately and alone..
Back in the late 80s I had a analogue/midi/8-track-tape SMPTE-synced studio - Pro One, MC-202, TR-606, Alesis HR16 drum thing, S950 sampler, ESQ-1 (beautiful); Korg EX800... and a Roland D110 which I hated because it sounded like a D50 (which I hated)... AND a Casio CZ101 from my poorer days - which was the best heavy metal guitar when playing thirds to fifths to seconds and thirds through a distortion pedal.
I discovered that if I layered a typical annoying tacky D110 heavy bass [with that characteristic stupid D50 pretend Synclavier version of everything ...or whatever the hell the D50 was trying to do... ] sound ....together with a similar heavy bass attempt from the Casio CZ-101 (with that slight missing something Casio sound) TOGETHER they made the most IMMENSE UNIQUE REALISTIC ORGANIC SUBLIME TRANSCENDENT HALF A BILLION DOLLAR ECSTATIC EXHILARATING ooooooh my gggggodddd.... sound from the heavenly gods I had ever heard... out of two slightly sub-par sounds (unlike your jam which used two exquisite sound sources!)
it was pure unexpected alchemy
It was astonishing...
[I would love to make a synth with sample-based sounds, phase distortion synthesis and um... something else... each voice trying to be the same as the other but impossibly so, because the modelling and time based sound event creation of each voice’s sonic-audio constructed time-existent methodology work entirely differently and harmonic responsively ...just like the complex different parts and materials of a natural instrument (string, body, fretboard, head, varnish etc, - all with different response times, energy inertia etcetera) - but in the meta-pan-dimensional displaced incarnate reality of something electronically generated.
BAM-!
...It was like the best of your fart jam ...on every note ...and the playing of each and every note.... a unique sonic moment and sound event in time, but in another space time dimension... of perceptual audio.
Try it!
CZ-101 plus D110 both playing “same” sounds = some divine synthesizer from maybe 2022. I told people it was a Tungsten-Carbide Slam-Volt Valve-based synthesizer, and there were only two in the world.
Anyway.... Highly recommended (if you’re into notes!)
OR: a LookMumNoComputer device plus a MumIBuckledAndGotOne emulation = pure sonic angelic hell scent pandaemonium
(if you’re into cosmic disruptive beauty, that is)
Over and out!
and thank you.
Now I want to see a video of your findings. Do it even exist? If not you should film it. A half million dollar synth from 2022 is something you dont see or listen normally in 2019
Fart box sounds just amazing, such a rich tone.
Vova Sedykh that’s what the kids call ‘analog’. Indescribable but immediately recognizable.
Loving your channel. You got another subscriber!
LMNC Rocks. Love his channel super high energy great personality, great young man, another great You-Tube artist.
I love this so much.
Cool!!!
I love seeing my idols enjoying eachother's content
I haven't seen anyone geek-out that hard since Akira was bootlegged to America.
brilliant! i love you all
that Fartbox feat Reaktor bit gave me a mindgasm ....
Look mum seems to be enjoying himself a little more than one would think.
Oh well as long as he's having fun and still creates awesome stuff. Life is for living.
The content i subbed for
Really great video! I'd been wondering if you would ever delve into the world of modular DSP in the box, comparing and combining with real-world analogue synthesis. VCV Rack is a great free modular software that you might like to explore in future videos. I've been experimenting with using a re-amp box to take VCV, Reaktor and other such things out of the box and put through FX chains, multiple amps etc. and I highly recommend it.
"This will exceed the limits of the possible... and... who knows what's going to result."
We're lucky that these gentlemen went into music.
The dream team!
If you don't feel like paying 200 euros, try VCV RACK!
It's free, open source, tons of free modules! Really has a lot going for it.
If you'd really want to use the term modular democratisation, this is where it's at.
not to hate on reaktor it's great obviously.
Jam was amazing
There should be a minimized module view in Reaktor
And don't forget Silver Apples! :) Simeon made his own primitive synth called... The Simeon!
Gorgeous x
I wish i had a group of friends to crack open a cold one and appreciate sine waves with. Like "100 hz? that's a damn good sine right there"
Top 5 best upload
I like how the drone grows with their voices
I hope in the future we will see more episodes of ''Look mom a computer''
This is fun! Thanks guys!! 13:50 sounds like a HurdyGurdy.
Awesome 👏
I'm glad when I see people who like farts & understand their sonic value too! Btw, check Soundiron's Flatulus. ;)
Cheeky diamond wipe at 21:47...
Fun times! 😍
been fucking around with vcv for a little while, very fun stuff ;)
bad boys have fun.... love it
It’s odd that the NI guy - who was great, by the way - stuck to baseline Reaktor modules. All the same, it was effective. Well done, you guys.
He wanted to make it shareable after, so no fancy stuff.
We only used blocks from "Blocks Base" so everyone can use the patch without having to buy anything :-)
Moral of the video. Free farts from native instruments
Yeah. I laughed at the huge knob line. I'm not ashamed.
That was an experience :)
12:46 That is one happy Hainbach.
Seriously, The fart box should get a new name and be mass produced. I love it.
Look Mum i need a supercomputer!
I think that's the longest I've ever seen Sam sit still
That was more fun than any geek should be allowed to have. lol
Handy reminder to record everything you ever do when you're fucking around at home
congratulations on building the worlds first didgeridoo vst. your neighbors thank you
Aw, man. 20:53 sums it up. White coat man wanking about with his macbook, LMNC and Hainbach actually appreciating the rhythms and sounds being produced by the fartbox.
And despite wanking about with it for ages, and being told how to hook it up, all he got was digital bee farts. Analogue 4 eva, as they say dem yoot. Even if your analogue, like mine, is based on 40106 oscs.
Absolutely brilliant. 24:30! And free farts!
15:53 - Synthcarus... you flew too close to the sun...
My favorite part in the whole video, especially because he is the first person I know that would understand the error message.
Oh wow. Reaktor Blocks has changed a bit since the last time I played with it. Interesting that you can patch from the front panels now...
Oh to copy and paste a GameBoy ;)
..this is reminiscent of the Artmatic graphic synth software with the layering rhythms.
Thanks guys!!
Is .nksr a file format that Reaktor Player can open? All I can do is open Ensembles and Presets and the file isn't either of those.
You have a wooden Schwartz?
Is it as big as mine?
... ummm ... are you sure, both of you are talking about the same thing? XD
Spaceballssss
15:56 (in analog world) "What happened?"
"We just broke the substation"
Structure view and macros are your friends!
The ending reminds me of Pink Floyd using the VCS3 on DSOTM. ;-)
17:47 Hainbach with a longingly look at LMNC's creation,
Can we get a commercially available Fartbox? Pretty please with sugar on top LMNC? XD Also Hainbach, would love to see you play around with a Lyra-8
reaktor 6 is actually quite good, especially when you send the signal to outboard and/or tape etc.
Nerdgasm!!!
15:57 BRAVO!!!
I always preferred analog over digital myself ;)
Maybe you can do more with the software, but lmnc's little box farts waaaayyy warmer
"Oh it sounds good together! Makes a lot of stress."
Ha, that is my scoring background - I can immediately see the scene in my inner eye.
I love Reaktor as I can't afford shipping several hundred kilos of gear everytime I travel.
reaktor - my favorite toy! but less the blocks. rather the primary and core levels.
I feel like 'Look mum no computer' is going to change his name to LOOK MUM ONLY COMPUTER after seeing virtual modular :P
Did you ever got into trouble with Content ID because of sines, white noise or stuff like that?
No, nothing.
As hilarious this is I can't help but think of the awful sounds of digital clipping when hearing you guys talk about 'pushing a machine to its limits'. Great video though, would love to work with you guys one day. Cheers!
Yo can add a waveshaper to your mix and adjust it so it soft clips instead of hard clips
@@reecedeyoung6595 ya I know. From my experience though I'd much prefer to drive tape or an analog circuit into extreme saturation. Not try and fiddle with a digital circuit so it clips the way I want lol
nice fart session
"that's the advantage of having a big knob" ... innit?
🔊🤗
A Doepfer Dark Energy makes a lot of "Farty" sounds on the low end, when the PWM is not in sync with the PW, and off course the resonance is upped a lot. Guttural and abdominal type sounds too...
Sam wanted to crash the computer from the begining
"I saw the sign..." "Don't sing it! The video will be demonitized" LOL
Wow.
I just installed this new Reaktor version but unfortunately there was no Julian Parker included.
He is with you in spirit. And code. But mostly spirit.
21:26 ... so geil :)
Crash testing the Reaktor software :)
Minute 25.... beautiful.
