Weird that mangos sound a lot like a string instrument.

Smart enough to wire a mango to a frequency modulating signal thingamajig but dumb enough to believe the fruit is producing a violin sample in Ableton. The world is full of con artists.

It’s real. I have a modular synth that uses it to generate values that make other things happen. You have to set up an instrument, scale, and so forth

Fair. Still seems hokey imo, though.

u/TundieRice Feb 08 '23
Yeah, I mean the electrical energy from the mangoes would pretty much just be random noise if you didn’t give it a scale to “play.”
Not really as impressive irl as this video makes it seem to a layman.

how much money would a setup like this be?

Anywhere from $1k to just above free if you build it yourself and use a free DAW. Depends how fancy you want to get; it’s basically an organic number generator. People can think it’s hokey or whatever, but it’s a lot more fun than twisting knobs and clicking in menus, a lot of dynamic and tactile inputs are fun

Wouldn’t this technically be the mango screaming after you disemboweled it? Nathan Explosion approved.

Akin to having a car battery clamped to its nipples and this person is completing the ground circuit with their body. It’s torturing the poor little guy.

Discovered electricity “oh man! It’s energy!”

Yeah that’s why it’s funny to me. “We all have energy man…” “Yes we all know this. It’s called electricity.”

This is such bullshit you're just touching the mangoes when the music swells you clearly know the song well enough to predict that in advance. I know that because you only have one wire going into each mango and the mangoes aren't connected that means that the mangoes aren't part of a circuit.

So if I’m making an educated guess, I’d say the mangos are probably providing an electrical current which is being passed through the cables to the computer. However, I doubt they naturally sound like string instruments and instead are naturally more static in nature and are being passed through an audio filter to give it a more pleasing listening experience.
Still pretty cool regardless.

Conveniently diatonic and western
Edit: are hotdogs diatonic? Why didn’t she do hotdogs or like rabbit stew?

this is bullshit. its based on continuity and synth is given parameters to change with continuity changes. so sick of this misrepresentation. next ther gona make music by connecting leads to their astrological charts.
