Talk ‘N Learn Alphabet – Unleashing Demons & Chipmunks

video upload by Manitou Productions

"Today's feature is the Talk N' Learn Alphabet by Scientific Toys: made sometime in the early 90's (I think). We test a unit that has wonky pitch, and explore how to make it even wonkier (and eventually fix it); then we'll look at a modified example. The alphabet never sounded so scary!"

"ITALIAN
In questo video mostro come suonare contemporaneamente due sintetizzatori KETRON-SOLTON PROGRAMMER 24 sincronizzati tra loro e poi come far suonare la linea di basso di un PROGRAMMER 24 da un sintetizzatore MINIMOOG DODEL D

Il Solton Programmer 24, lanciato nel 1985, è riconosciuto come uno dei primissimi strumenti a introdurre il concetto di arranger automatico nel mercato delle tastiere, tanto da essere spesso definito 'l'apripista' dell'intero settore.
Questo strumento, prodotto dall'azienda italiana Ketron (con il marchio Solton), è considerato una pietra miliare nell'evoluzione delle tastiere arranger.

Impatto Culturale: è stato soprannominato 'Italian Disco Machine' per il suo ruolo nel plasmare il suono della musica Italo Disco.
Il Programmer 24 non è solo un pezzo di storia per gli appassionati, ma è anche al centro di iniziative come 'Arranger Legacy', un progetto web che mira a preservare la memoria di questi strumenti iconici e dei loro creatori.

Il Solton Programmer 24 è una workstation analogica italiana del 1985, famosa per il suo suono Italo Disco, che combina una sezione ritmica PCM a 8 bit (con uscite separate), bassi analogici, arrangiamenti automatici e sequencer, offrendo un suono vintage caldo e funzionale per produzione musicale. Include funzionalità avanzate per l'arrangiamento, sequencer polifonici e monofonici, MIDI, e interfaccia a nastro, rendendolo un pezzo da collezione apprezzato per il suo 'carattere anni '80'.

One Synth Challenge - Part 2

video upload by Jason DeRoche Music

"In this video, I revisit the One Synth Challenge and perform an entire song using only the Sequential Take 5. 🎹

Every sound comes straight from this synth, utilizing its powerful oscillators, modulation possibilities and internal effects. Some chorus is also applied at the mixing stage in Logic.

🎧 Headphones recommended
🎛️ One synth. One song.

This Granular Synthesizer Completely Blew His Mind

video upload by EZBOT

"If you have been searching for a great granular synthesizer or atmospheric powerhouse, look no further. The Elektron Tonverk was updated recently with several new features but the big standout for music producers, is the new Granular Synthesis engine called GRAINS. It sounds absolutely amazing paired with abundance of modern effects included in the Tonverk."

Ptolemy cover on RX5, TX802, SH-01A

video upload by Collector Current

"In this video I show you my cover of Aphex Twin's "Ptolemy" from the Selected Ambient Works 85-92 album.

I made the drums with the Yamaha RX5, using an RX5USB board on which I loaded Roland R-8M samples. The bass is coming from a Roland SH-01A. The other two melody parts are played on a Yamaha TX802. The three melody parts are sequenced with a Roland MSQ-700.

During the performance I keep touching the computer; that is to stop the screensaver from turning on. The computer screen shows my notes of the structure of the song.

Why the Korg DSS-1 matters

video upload by Espen Kraft

"Korg DSS-1 sampling synthesizer from 1986. Not a very good sampler, because of it's incredibly cumbersome sampling process, but it excel if you use it as a synth. With its capability to manually draw your waveforms, or additive synthesis, you don't have to use the sampling engine at all.

These are a variety of my favourite sounds made up from drawn waveforms and samples.

If you're interested in a in-depth tutorial about sampling on the DSS-1 I have that for sale. Check out the demo video here: • Korg DSS-1 | in-depth 35minutes sampling t... [below]

I overloaded my external effects on some of the sounds in this video hence a bit of distortion here and there. Lexicon PCM70 reverb and Zoom MS70CDR chorus and delay."

video upload by Espen Kraft

"In this video I go through step-by-step how to sample your own sounds into the Korg DSS-1. From scratch, all the way up to a Mult-sound which is one of two "oscillators" of the DSS-1.
I also show how to draw your own waveforms and use these as building blocks for a multi-sound."

Soundplant v.59 Released for Windows & Mac - Soft Sampler Adds MIDI CC, Infinite Undo, & More

Soundplant 59 beat demo: Only2x video upload by Marcel Blum

"Making a beat from a chopped up spy theme with Soundplant, the computer keyboard sample triggering software for Windows & Mac. Version 59 now available for free download at: https://soundplant.org/"

Press release follows:

Caldwell, NJ, USA - Independent developer Marcel Blum has released Soundplant® 59 for Windows and Mac, a major update to the long running sample triggering software for QWERTY keyboards and MIDI devices. Version 59 brings MIDI CC support for customizable control of Soundplant knobs, infinite undo for editing convenience and a/b testing between different effect settings, a master output limiter-compressor for fine tuning dynamics processing, increased sound loading speed with improved multithreading, and other optimizations and fixes.

Soundplant is a standalone software sampler prioritizing low latency and stability for live use, enabling instant playback of any format sound files from standard computer keyboard keys or MIDI. An invaluable tool for sound designers, theater techs, DJs, producers, podcasters, gamers, and streamers, it can mix tons of sounds at once, queue playlists, trigger in the background with global hotkeys while using other apps, record its own output or any input (or both at the same time), and more, all with a powerfully simple drag and drop interface allowing users to create professional soundboards with the ease of dropping sound files onto onscreen keys.

Discussing his Oscar-nominated work on acclaimed biopic A Complete Unknown, sound mixer Terence McCormack Maitland said, "On set when possible, we create a realistic soundscape for the cast. In order to do this we used Soundplant, a deceptively capable app which helped a ton."

Availability & Pricing

Soundplant is available as a free download at https://soundplant.org/ with a 25-launch trial of the paid features. It is free for non-commercial use. A Single User License costs USD $69. Version 59 is a free upgrade for existing license holders who bought in 2023 or later, or a $34.50 upgrade for older license owners. The registered version unlocks professional features including output device selection, expanded sound file format support, output sample rates up to 384 kHz, recording, MIDI, and 'background key input' for global hotkey triggering. Soundplant 59 requires minimum Windows 10 or macOS 10.14.

Kilohearts Phase Plant Dark Rhythmic Presets Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

🔮 Kilohearts Phase Plant – Wind Cipher is a collection of 50 rhythmic presets built around dark, noisy atmospheres and dirty textures.
The rhythm-focused sounds range from intricate, complex sequences to straightforward dance patterns. Each sound carries a distinct mood—some dense and layered, others sparse and breathing.
📻 This bank leans heavily into distortion, saturation, noise, and texture. The dirt isn’t a byproduct — it’s the point.
