๐๏ธ What happens when you plug a graphic equalizer into itself?
In this video, I explore the world of no-input graphic EQ, where an equalizer stops shaping sound and starts generating it. By patching the output back into the input, the EQ becomes a self-contained noise machine โ capable of deep rumbles, sharp tones, and chaotic textures.
Chapters:
0:00 Intro
0:40 Loudness Warning
0:49 Basic setup
1:38 Patch with Delay
3:20 Final demo
Iโll walk you through:
The basic no-input EQ patch
How sliders shape the feedback sound
Creative uses with delay and reverb distortion
A live sound demo to show the full range of noise
Whether youโre into ambient music, noise experiments, or feedback synthesis, this technique unlocks an entirely new way to use gear you might already have.
๐ Try it out, and let me know your own no-input patch ideas in the comments!

โ๏ธ Hi,
my name is Sid Rockett and I create experimental synthesizers and noise makers.
On this channel I explore the sonic possibilities of small pocket synths and diy eurorack setups.
So join me on my journey through ambient soundscapes and immerse yourself in deep reverbs and outer-space delays.

![These Two Synths Belong Together (Bastl Kastle 2 + Soma ROAT)
๐ Dive into a world of sonic sorcery with a powerful duo of portable synths! In this video, were pairing the SOMA Labs Rumble of Ancient Times (RoAT) with the Bastl Instruments Kastle 2 FX Wizard for a journey into glitchy, rhythmic, and unpredictable sound design.
The SOMA Rumble of Ancient Times (RoAT) is a compact 8-bit noise synthesizer and sequencer that channels the spirit of early computer game audio. With its four oscillators, complex mixing algorithms, and Chaos button for instant randomization, its a machine built for generating unique soundscapes, dense noise, and wild rhythmic patterns.
Were feeding the RoATs raw, glitchy signal into the Bastl Instruments Kastle 2 FX Wizard, a patchable stereo multi-effects unit thats all about creative manipulation. The FX Wizard offers nine unique effectsโfrom delays and flangers to crushers and pitch shiftersโwhich can be modulated by its built-in LFO, pattern generator, and envelope follower. Its not about presets; its about crafting your own dynamic, evolving sound.
Watch as we explore the happy accidents and unexpected sonic transformations that happen when these two instruments collide. Get ready for some chaotic chiptune, modular mayhem, and a whole lot of weird, wonderful noise!
