"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

๐Ÿ”ฎ 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.
๐Ÿ“ป This bank leans heavily into distortion, saturation, noise, and texture. The dirt isn’t a byproduct — it’s the point.

"These slugs have started a crime syndicate and it is very profitable. What do slugs do with all that expendable income? Cosmetic surgery? Synthesizers ? Tiny sports cars?"

"The Aion Modular Model 15 provides everything you need for a Moog-style modular system in a Eurorack format. The filter section, the backbone of the Moog modular, includes both the classic low pass filter, passive lowpass and high pass, and a fixed filter bank, providing a myriad of sound sculpting possibilities. Three oscillators are available, two from the voltage controlled oscillator bank and another from the wide ranging voltage controlled oscillator. In addition, two noise sources, white and pink are present for adding texture or a touch of unpredictability. Two classic ADSR envelopes provide modulation and are perfectly paired with the two VCAs or with the filters. Two four channel CP-1 mixers are present at the bottom of the Model 15, which can be used to both mix channels and add pleasant warmth to them. In addition to all this analog goodness, a MIDI to CV/gate converter is included to sequence the Model 15 from external MIDI devices. The Model 15 brings the classic parts of a modular synthesizer into one package that sounds just as rich as the original

"Not the Colossus but also not for ants. This semi-modular analog Synth is patched with 6,3mm (1/4') cables like his Moog or 4U cousins. Unlike them it can also be played via MIDI. The Red Square can also process external signals with an input at the front as well as two inputs on the back, hence the 'patchable analogue effects processor' moniker."

"What a fitting combination of instruments! Love, love, love.
I would have liked to spend more time (and I will) crafting a more intricate performance, but the time of a lunch break clearly wasn't enough.
Still, I love what came out of this jam, and the great polyrhythms that naturally arose.
I hope you'll like it! ๐Ÿงก"

Sounds Like the 80s and 90s (In the Best Way) // Waldorf Protein


video upload by Starsky Carr

"Discover the gritty soul of classic wavetable synthesis in this in-depth review and sound demo of the Waldorf Protein. Drawing direct lineage from the legendary PPG and *Waldorf Microwave*, the Protein combines authentic 8-bit, 128-sample wavetables with a modern, streamlined workflow — delivering that unmistakable lo-fi digital bite without the complexity of vintage machines.

In this video, I explore how the Protein’s 8-voice / 4-part multitimbral engine lets a single patch handle basslines, arpeggios, leads and textures simultaneously. You’ll hear how the stepped wavetable movement, classic aliasing artefacts and digital filters create tones that newer, smoother wavetable synths simply can’t replicate.

I also break down:
• How classic PPG-style wavetables actually work
• Why 8-bit waves sound so alive and musical
• Digital filters, drive modes & modulation
• Multitimbral layering for complete tracks
• Why this isn’t a Microwave clone — but something new

Whether you’re into *90s trance, industrial, ambient, IDM, synthwave, techno, or just love characterful digital hardware*, the Waldorf Protein offers a uniquely inspiring take on modern wavetable synthesis."
