This is the best sound design tool nobody's heard of (and it's free)

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Prepare to meet SoundThread - capable of the most insane sound mangling imaginable - and it's completely free. You might know of Composer's Desktop Project, used by our old pal Aphex Twin on Drukqs. CDP is one of the most powerful software sound design tools on Earth, and is free. It can do things you just can't do elsewhere. Problem is, CDP has never been especially easy to use. Enter SoundThread - a new, beginner friendly Mac/Windows/Linux "front end" for CDP. SoundThread gives you access to lots of CDP's power, but in a simple drag-and-drop modular way. It makes it fun and quick to explore, even if you have very limited experience - that's a big deal. CDP has never been this easy before.

This video was made completely independently of SoundThread & CDP - if I find something cool, I just want to spread the word.

Oberheim TEO-5

Lichtmaschine

video upload by Jörg Schaaf

"Bauhaus 1930
I visited the Bauhaus Museum in Dessau and stepped into this beautiful machine from 1930 - The Lichtmaschine. I had no tripod and filmed it with my mobile phone only. I created the soundtrack with the Prophet X sample synthesizer from Sequential and some of my own samples."

Prophet X - Epic Vol.4 | Super Jupiter Plus (SF2 available)

video upload by Espen Kraft

"A collection of the absolute best Roland Super Jupiter MKS-80 AND Sequential Six-Trak samples and patches inside your Prophet X.

A fat powerful VCO collection ready for your P X.

I've layered and multi-recorded 32 sounds from a Super Jupiter MKS-80 (Rev.5) and 18 of my best custom sounds from the Six-Trak.

All put into 50 epic multi-samples/instruments for your P X.

These are not sample-stretched sounds nor is there any overlap from the Epic Vol.1. These are all new samples. Total filesize is about 1.32Gb.

The price for this pack is $30USD (or €30Euros if you're in Europe) and considering you'll get the absolute best patches and samples ever made for these synths, directly onto your Prophet X, I think the price is fair. I've spent a lot of time making these sound absolutely stellar.

My CONTACT email address is this: espenkraft69@gmail.com If you want to purchase this pack please send me an email and I'll give you instructions on how to order. If you want a bundled (discount) price for multiple packs just let me know. I will only sell Prophet X packs directly through email.

Full installation notes included in the download.

All the multi-samples are also available as *sf2 (TAL sampler and Logic compatible) if you're interested. Price is the same.

I've included some patches to help you get going and you have two options of transfer: Bank U3 P41 – P59 or Bank A4 P41 - P59.

If you want to transfer the patches SOMEWHERE ELSE on your own PX, you can do so manually, by editing the individual sysex files."
