This is a PCM error detector, do you have a anything with dts or pcm out or even Casio pcm keyboard you could feed into the data input? Actually feeding any signal into the data input should result on something more interesting on the error output. Have another look at that cable and I think you will find it plugs into the data input section and you should be able to crudely patch into the other end.

HP 3782A woke after years of slumber... maybe now it could finally fulfill its destiny - to detect some errors. But it could detect no errors at all. Now it's awake in an error-free world, a perfect world, but this just makes it feel sad, when everything else must surely be happy.

Yeah! That was part of the fascination, to go back to the roots.

A quick Google search tells me that the error detector was used in conjunction with a separate pattern generator on the other end of the network, so if you can find the pattern generator instead, you might have a more useful source to work with. But the pattern generator is digital, and seems to send different bit patterns in different formats, so it might be a bit difficult to get interesting sound out of. Or it might be a goldmine of sounds. Hell, I have no damn clue here.

This device makes a sound perfectly capturing the essence of the internet: suspicious, oddly beautiful, terrifying.

It is amazing not only that you get good sounds from test equipment, but also that you gathered so much gear so quickly without a giant grant award to pay for it. Well done.

It's a TDM (T1) test pattern generator, which runs at 1.544 MHz, so what you're hearing are just harmonics of the primary 1.5M-rate square-ish waves. Hook up a decent scope and you'll see.

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks Marvin.

Such an inspiring video. As soon as the ED was fired up, I felt the wash of nostalgia and imagination wash over me, like hum of a familiar air con units in an old warehouse that are phasing in and out with each other. Just brilliant. Thanks Hainbach.

I love your creativity.

Brilliant!! I drool every time I see all of the wonderful gadgets you possess! You definitely reinforce why I collect all of the “weird” items (as my wife would say) that I do.

Beautiful. And nice to see some of your method of recording it too.

This is one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever heard/seen

Super cool, sometimes the less a machine can do the cooler it is. Great sounds

If you’ll forgive the comparison, just a very few notes of this reminds me of Paul Leonard Morgan’s soundtrack to Dredd. The remarkable thing about that movie was that it Portrayed a futuristic setting, but as it was imagined in the mid to late 80s. He used a lot of deep synth drones and pulses exactly like you produced here. It was a very vintage sound that went with the movie perfectly. So now that I’ve stumbled across your video of you making music with vintage equipment to achieve a vintage sound that was at one time considered to be futuristic, it to me has that same wonderful blend of distorted, minimalist retro sound. It is a great pleasure to hear, and I’ll be subscribing.

So just a month ago, I checked out your vid landfill totems, or maybe another vid that linked to the totems, but that was my introduction to test equipment. Loved the sounds, really in my space. I've been stuck into, like, western diatonicism, and am always trying to get my very musical synths to make nonmusical musical sounds which is so much harder than it should be (naw, haven't gotten into eurocrack, love the sounds, can't hang in that disposable income class anymore). I've kind of been frustrated/lacking something for the past 25 years, so I started to look around, and lo and behold, there is actual test equipment out there being sold for $20-$30! Amazing. I am beginning my very inexpensive journey into actual industrial sound. Thanks, in a way I can't express.
