Vintage Ludwig drums restored to mint condition
In January 2023 I bought this beautiful but quite dusty Ludwig Standard drumset made in 1970. It has a 22x14" kick, 16x16" floor tom, and 13x9" / 12x8" rack toms. I spent the next few months meticulously restoring the hardware, shells, heads, and tracking down the missing hardware for it.
This video took quite a while to make, because I had to negotiate some studio space and put together a good recording setup for the kit. I was finally able to shoot the final part of this video in about August this year (though the drums had been back together for a while), and only just now had time to edit and finish it! Now that I've got everything sounding good and wired up I'm really excited to make ...

J. S. Bach BWV 1000 - Fugue in G minor from 1st Violin Sonata
Просмотров 4146 месяцев назад
About a year ago I decided to take advantage of the natural reverb in my apartment building's hallway to record a classical piece I've been working on for a few years. This is BWV 1000, the Fugue from Bach's 1st violin sonata, one of many violin pieces since transcribed for classical guitar (this version arranged by Jean-Francois Delcamp) - transposed to E minor. The piece is extremely similar ...
Making Custom Eurorack Front Panels with a Laser Engraver
Просмотров 4,8 тыс.10 месяцев назад
I finally got a new, larger eurorack case! But it's shallower than my old one, so I need to re-format some modules to fit. Time to make a custom faceplate with my new laser engraver. I'm combining 3 of the Hexinverter NeinOhNein drum modules into one so I can stack the PCBs and make a module sandwich. This is a very ad-hoc and manual process, but the front panel can be designed on the computer ...
Hexinverter Mutant Hot Glue eurorack mixer: DIY build and demo
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.11 месяцев назад
I recently built a new mixer for my eurorack drum machine. I was previously using an outboard compressor to process the drum machine which was quite inconvenient and very noisy, so I picked a design with a built-in compressor, Hexinverter's Mutant Hot Glue. The module is available as PCB and panel set from various retailers. It's a VCA design with a few somewhat rare silicon items. In this vide...

DIY Mutable Shades (or How to Patch Sidechain Compression for Eurorack)
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.Год назад
In this video I build a Mutable Instruments Shades triple attenuverter module for my eurorack system. I'm using it in combination with a doepfer envelope follower and a VCA to create a sidechain compressor for my synth bass and drum machine setup. In this video I build the "Shane" PCB from modular-addict, but as you'll see I found it unsatisfactory from a layout and documentation perspective. I...

DIY MIDI Patch Storage box for Yamaha Reface CS
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.Год назад
I love the Yamaha Reface CS but its Achilles' heel is its inability to remember patches or presets. I created a device to solve this by storing the control change values and re-setting them over MIDI, using Arduino nano and a custom interface PCB. The source code and PCB files are available here: github.com/matthewcieplak/reface_midi
DIY kick pedal practice pad (silent drumming)
Просмотров 19 тыс.Год назад
I've been practicing my drum rudiments lately and have been trying to improve my kick technique.

Some of the professional kick practice pads I mention ...

    This is very helpful. Do you think it would be possible to mix EDM on a 24-channel console like the SSL-XL Desk? If so, how would you allocate the 24 channels?

    • @extralifedisco
      @extralifedisco 10 дней назад

      Yes, of course it's possible. I would probably set up 8 channels for drums and percussion, 2 channels for a stereo drum bus, 2 for a side chain bus, and 1 for a mono bass buss if needed. The rest you could allocate for individual tracks and FX returns. A pultec style EQ would be good for bass, a distressor or 1176 pair for drums, and 3630 for sidechaining would be a classic hardware pairing

    i have an idea, take the treadle from an old singer sewing machine table and hook it up to 8 kick drums in a v8 fashion...as the treadle is operated like a stomp box to maintain rhythem, the drums are fired in a sequential pattern like a v8 which could be revved up and down by speeding up the pumping

  • @asmr6773
    @asmr6773 Месяц назад

    3:54 how many steps is the maximum? Since it has 4 bars: 64??? Or bars are made out of 8 steps?? Perfect Circuit's description says 64 steps. But i want to be shure because i am a beginner and i am learning watching yt videos.

    the order of phase and ground on mains is not so important (when in US and Europe, not UK) because wall socket plugs can be rotated 180 by users, whicj effectively switches 'polarity' 😊

  • @harrisonallen

    Sorry for the late comment! Curious though, I’m making my first case following this, and in the video you say you got a 10amp fuse for the power switch, but the link in the description is for a 5amp fuse. And the data sheet for the switch says it runs 6amps. So is a 5amp fuse ok?

    • @extralifedisco
      @extralifedisco 3 месяца назад

      5A*120V= 600 watts. These power supplies draw only 65 watts so a 5A fuse should be plenty large for this application, though inrush current will be higher, it shouldn't trip a slo-blo fuse.

    • @extralifedisco
      @extralifedisco 4 месяца назад

      Haven't gotten under the key bed, but it's a fatar model (studiologic is the same company) so should be easy enough. Once you get the case top open, the screws along the forward edge of the bottom case can be removed to free the keyboard assembly. I found studio logic's customer support very helpful as well when emailing them about some software questions

      @extralifedisco 4 месяца назад

      Yes, they'll form a good electrical connection. Dissimilar metals can cause corrosion but that's generally more of a problem in wet environments and with ferrous metals. Aluminum wire and connectors are used pretty frequently in electrical connection.

    Korg did a bit of a Juno 6/60 move on this model. No sooner that many people had purchased the DW6000, the DW8000 was released. We didn't have the luxury of the Internet rumor mill or 'teased' photos in those days...music retailers would definitely not tell us a thing. Anyway, a great improvement over the 6000 and kept it until the DSS-1 came along. Gotta love those dual DDL's.
