pain textures vol 1
From the readme file:
Most of these samples are from driving a bespoke dual Look Mum No Computer Safety Valve VCA that has some wiring issues into self-oscillation, and running that signal through a valve distortion module I built. These are unaltered and unmolested. There are EXTREMELY harsh frequencies. They are not pretty and they are not nice, but you can make some wild shit with them, I promise.
If you want information on my tube module, check here: https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/10le8-tube-wavefolder-drive-works-on-12v/3694
The samples that are tuned are very approximate. Ignore any BPM information on these, I have no idea what the BPM actually is for any of them.
Also, I recorded some audio that I got from a preamp I tried to design and build used the 6AK5 pentode. I couldn't get it to work right, but it made some crazy-ass sounds that I recorded.
ADDENDUM 6 MARCH 2023:
In the time since I designed and built the above module, I have learned a metric fuck-ton of things about working with tubes, about designing tube circuits, and about tweaking things - generally, just more experienced. While the module works, I am kind of embarrassed to show it to anyone, knowing what I know now about these things. I don't even know how the damn thing works with 12V going through 1.5 megohms to the plate... that leaves almost no current for the tube to operate. But, it works. WIERD.
if you would like the raw, uncut audio, you can reach out to me via Twitter or discord (tow#5660) and I will send it to you. They’re large files.
You'll get a zip file, filled with bizarre noises and unusable sounds. And also some wiring diagrams.
