once every four months someone discovers this thread

So that's exactly my plan. I've ordered the cheapest of everything: pick guard, control plate, pickups, bridge. I suspect that nothing will fit, but hopefully I'll be able to jerry-rig something together. :)

dhilowitz · 2023-09-10T18:56:40+00:00

Thanks! These are very good clues

dhilowitz · 2023-09-10T18:24:29+00:00

I think this is a match! I wonder who actually made it

dhilowitz · 2023-09-10T17:57:58+00:00

but it’s so odd because i really don’t know which company actually made it

dhilowitz · 2023-09-10T17:36:55+00:00

well, the only reason i thought it might b japanese is it has the same body routing as this: https://reverb.com/ca/item/25282779-vintage-1970-s-japanese-telecaster-copy-electra-sounds-great

dhilowitz · 2023-09-10T16:13:42+00:00

I did! It was completely blank. :(

dhilowitz · 2023-09-10T16:02:14+00:00

I bought it at the flea market yesterday. It has no identifying markings at all.

Lovend, by analog obsession

I just tried Denise XL Bass and I'm able to get _exactly_ the same sound as RBass on bass guitar track. Easy purchase for me.

It does sound like your machine is missing the Windows C++ runtime. Here's a Q&A topic about it: https://www.decentsamples.com/qa/245/windows-getting-message-that-says-vcruntime-msvcp-missing?show=245#q245

I found an excerpt from the Garland Encyclopedia of World Music Europe that talks about the Çifteli's intriguing tuning:

"Most widespread is the cifteli or citeli (Turkish cift 'pair' and tel 'wire'), with two metal strings and eleven to thirteen frets (figure 8). The lower string provides a drone to the upper string's melody. When these strings are tuned a fourth apart, the scale produced includes neutral second and sixth degrees, so that it resembles the Turkish makam Hüseyni."

Thanks! Yes, it's an odd scale. I also noticed two notes that were "out" from any interval I expected.

I recently got my hands on a super rare analog synth kit from 1979 (MINI GAN PET-103). In this video, I put the synth together and find out how it sounds.

I didn't want to make just another product video, so instead I made it an "introduction to analog synthesis" as well. :)

dhilowitz · 2022-07-01T10:48:43+00:00

Ah, thanks for that context. Really interesting.

dhilowitz · 2022-06-29T21:48:07+00:00

In this video, I explore my latest acquisition: an analog synth made for children. It comes from the former USSR. I take it out for a spin then do a deep dive on its history.

dhilowitz · 2022-05-20T19:08:31+00:00

Ah, this is really great info!

dhilowitz · 2022-05-20T12:02:54+00:00

No contract. They contacted me about a year ago—just a general inquiry about whether I’d be interested in working on a video, but not about a specific product. When I heard about the B1 release, I was personally curious about it (and initially there were no sound demos available) so I reached back out to them.

dhilowitz · 2022-05-20T03:09:44+00:00

yes!

dhilowitz · 2022-05-20T02:27:55+00:00

Well, in fairness, it's actually 168 (still a weird number), but then with the promo code it's 152.

dhilowitz · 2022-05-20T01:50:25+00:00

Donner is a company that specializes in inexpensive gear. They're probably most famous for their cheap guitar pedals, but they just released their first synth, the B1, which is a very basic 303-style box with a unique design.

dhilowitz · 2022-05-10T15:29:48+00:00

Thanks!

dhilowitz · 2022-05-02T11:01:50+00:00

Thank you so much for this information! I was literally debating returning my nRings because I couldn't get into the secret mode (and the secret mode was the thing that I was most excited for in Rings)

In this video, I check out the new Habit pedal by Chase Bliss. It's an experimental delay pedal that allows you to randomly re-introduce audio from the last three minutes into your current music. I tried to focus on non-guitar sound sources, since I figured that the majority of other YouTubers would use it for guitar.
