the spring reverb box looks like a happy robot's face and the eurorack case is its body. 🤖

Great stuff. I actually have two of them. I integrated the spring tanks in the case. Make sure to use triple-wired RCAs, it will reduce noise alot!

I waited the whole video hoping for you to touch those springs... and you did! Extremely dense and vivid tutorial, love it

6:18 I'm listening on headphones and I can hear a bit of spring reverb on your voice!!!!! I think you were talking directly at a tank and it might have picked up your voice. LOL Amazing!

Another awesome vid!!! Love spring reverbs!!!!

your tutorials are so goddamn good man, watching this several times and this doesn't get boring

I just got mine today - brilliant piece of kit!

Thank you for that Raymond Scott mention - I didn't know about him, nor about his use of spring reverb. His music is amazing! Nor did I know the ARP 2600 had one.

This is so interesting because it's not trying to emulate a certain type of sound, imitating some instrument or the like. It's sounds that are truly unique.

And: A-199 added to cart. Great demo!

Amazing grimy industrial noises with the filter into the spring.

Wealth of knowledge thanks for sharing and jamming!

6:54 Sounds straight from Autechre "Move of Ten" album!

Agreed, your videos are outstanding! Unfortunately you are going to put me into a lot of debt...glorious wonderful debt!

Thank you for posting this.

after this top vid I added one to my noob setup of only 7 modules and had loads of interference so I swapped the nasty bell wire rca cable from doepfer for a thick gold plated one with magnetic blocks on and it's now as clear as day

so glad you poked and dampened the springs! cool;-)

Dude! that is the most bad ass toy I have ever seen. I could play for hours!

Great videos! Thanks!

we need more of people like you ! great clean explication

If the quality of modular you collect doesn't say you're serious, those monitors defiantly do. Lol That spring reverb sounds amazing.

"keep it away from electromagnetic devices" *a wild glitch oscillator appears*

I love the feedback path patch!

Excellent video. I will have to do some experimenting with the feedback loop.

This is the demonstration that I intuitively wanted to see when I did my search.

As a person who's knowledge of music production consists of FL Studio and Midi Controllers, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

You could make some great dark ambient with one of these! Maybe even several at the same time...

We are building a spring reverb right now :) i can post here again when i'm finished if wanted :) I'll do it anyway. its working already. just needs a nice case

You could make your spring tank totally shielded from any of the sources of the hum you described, but you wouldn't be able to wang on them with screwdrivers any more, so it may not be worth it. Assuming the metal case of the spring box is grounded, it's probably meant to be screwed to something made of metal with those tabs, which would be an RF shield in the same way as a grounded metal chassis is. With the springs exposed to act as an antenna, you will pick up a huge amount of electrical noise from your environment, especially in a studio. If you have an oscilloscope it is very easy to get an idea of how much by clipping the ground lead to the probe tip and setting the 'scope to around 10 mV/Div. The ground lead will be acting like a far less efficient antenna than the springs in your open spring box but the noise will be plain enough to see on the 'scope. Even just adding an easy-to-remove metal plate would solve the problem but still allow you access for when you want to sacrifice hum for effects?

Great hand work! :-)))

I was experimenting with this module in conjunction with the Döpfer WASP-filter, today for about an hour. You definitely have to use this filter _after_ the VCA with the ADSR. And: Afterwards my sister had asking me, if I was experimenting with Tibetan Singing Bowls. :D This filter tends to self-oscillation like hell. ^^°

Wow you went from zero to full 1970's Dr Who in under 2 mins.

doesn't the spring chamber pick up the vibrations of your speakers that are sitting right next to it? That's yet another feedback patch hehe. But really, doesnt having the springs exposed add feedback tho? And what about low rumbling street noise exciting the springs? Just curious

Raymond Scott, what a genius.

Daf... THAT IS AWESOME!!!

Very good video thank you very much. Can i ask you to explain how did you do the stereo things please? Or i wish to see another video to explain that.

Great stuff...omg I realize that I have a space echo with reverb. Time for an overhaul and break it out

Nicely done.

This is so cool!!!!

10:53 nice to see someone who is a cellist as well as a synth geek!

Instead of multitracking it, mult the output of the reverb, send one signal thru a short delay to create a haas effekt

Nice demo!

Dude! that is way! cool!

Just letting resonate one spring is a neat little trick. Never tried that one. I guess you could get nice tones by sticking coins or something similar in there.

That was interesting. Would love to hear an ant walking down that spring.

i like you way of showing

BARASS

So this is basically how old Doctor Who sound effects were made, haha.

I've got an A 199 but was wondering about adding a Springray. Do you think it'd be worth it? Only dilemma is I think Intellijel have shot themselves in the foot by removing v c feedback on Springray 2. Do you agree?

Does the module (not the tank) fit inside a Rackbrute (which isn't a very deep case) with the RCA Phono cables plugged in the back of the module? If not, would it work with L-shaped RCA phono heads?

As cool as it is i wish it had cv over mix. Am I knit picking?

I want those tones

Wheres the initial sound coming from? And what is the whole process running through?

Would it be a bad idea to buy the doepfer spring to use in a live setting? As in: would it pick up on the vibrations of monitoring and things like that?

i kinda want this as a pedal for my bass

Thanks peeps! If you _are_ interested in trying another tank out with the A-199, apparently the Accutronics 4BB3C1B is a good choice - it's got a longer reverb tail. Actually just bought one here and am going to give it a whirl: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360818603092

just grabbed the Morgasmatron and spring reverb Doepfer 199 vntage. Would you Suggest the P.Eg. i see there? also with the Tank where would you put it? is it ok to put out of the box?

Awesome video as per usual but shit now i need a spring reverb

Brilliant video! Can't wait to play around with this little bugger when it's in my rig! The only thing with my tank the springs aren't as taut as yours, is that going to be a problem? Is there a way of tightening them?

Could you CV the filter and maybe add some noise to trigger it to create a tone that way?

This is so reminescent of Selected ambient works vol.2 haha

The Tom Baker years are just one big spring reverb

do you actually see the springs moving a litte bit?

i like the speaker

where i can buy this or similar ?

What filter is used after the VCO? Very nice.

14:10 From what I’ve read, the laser sounds/blaster sounds in Star Wars was made by Ben Burtt hitting a rock on a radio tower’s support cables. I’m sure you just being funny. :-)

Ace!

Ace.

wheres the metasonix R56 ? king of them all

Great video, think you may of opened my wallet.

are the spring tubes required for the module to work?

It's easier, sonically/mix wise to work with mono instruments/ audio tracks any who 😎

Comparison starts at 3:30

Want, please...

Absolutely brilliant tutorial, but I just gotta ask, what on earth was that module to the left where the graphics looked like they were just written by hand.

Again a nice vid combining some knowledge and musical inspiration. Spring and strings (DIY) is what I like to use and in an extension pack for the Koma Fieldkit FX there is a tank :-) Years ago in East Germany I bought a tape "teaching people" the different alarm signals... I counted up string, springs, the tape (recorder out of sight), 2 DIY noise sound sources, a patchblock and the a ARP... resulting in Warnung (using Mackie desk with additional FX = 2 x ZDSP "reverb" and "delay" / 1 send goes out to the Fieldkit FX / main out Fieldkit into Mackie, aux out into Fieldkit FX); maybe you like the set up, sound, vid... Anyway thanks for your modular vids. Cheers, Jurgen aka SONICrider --> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y76ga8WpqpazhoE.html

Newbie question does it need external power ?

Sounds like the 80s

Holy mother of fatness 7:17

the hand gestures in front of the camera are still annoying.

Music Isn't even real

All i can hear on every video is some saw/sqr tones on this modular things - nothing interesting here.
