Soundtoys Users Donate $61,000 to Médecins Sans Frontières

Up Next: Supporting World Central Kitchen’s Global Relief Efforts

November 18, 2025 (BURLINGTON, VT): Renowned audio effects creator Soundtoys announced a $61,000 donation to Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders, raised entirely through donations made through purchases of its Radiator plug-in.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides emergency medical care in more than 70 countries, providing life-saving treatment to people caught in wars, natural disasters, epidemics, and exclusion from medical services. In recent months, Médecins Sans Frontières has been working tirelessly in conflict and crisis zones, including Gaza, Haiti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan, amid extreme violence and humanitarian collapse.

This gift continues Soundtoys’ ongoing pledge to direct 100% of proceeds from Radiator to organizations on the front lines of humanitarian and environmental crises. Originally inspired by the warmth and grit of vintage tube gear, Radiator has become one of Soundtoys’ most beloved plug-ins – and a lasting vehicle for giving back. All Radiator sales made at soundtoys.com after November 1, 2025, will benefit World Central Kitchen (WCK). Founded by Spanish chef José Andrés, WCK delivers fresh meals to communities affected by natural disasters, conflict, and climate crises. WCK teams are currently providing immediate relief in Jamaica, Gaza, Haiti, and other areas with urgent needs.

“At Soundtoys, we believe in the power of music to help make the world a better place. And in that spirit, we're committed to raising awareness and supporting human rights, the environment, and people in need,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and founder of Soundtoys.

“I can't say it any better than Chef Andres: 'When people are hungry, send cooks. Not tomorrow, today.”

To participate in Soundtoys’ ongoing giving pledge, purchase to donate at soundtoys.com/product/radiator.

High on Modulation: Programming Classic 80s Brass Sounds, Synthesis as a Folk Art, and More


video upload by Keith Crosley

"Let's get inspired by vintage VHS synth nerdery and dig into some modulation mayhem! I accidentally make a reaction video to a wonderfully unhinged 80s Steve Porcaro synth-programming tape, explain Korg multi/poly modulation (hey there @robst247 ), and put some of Steve's ideas into action with a classic Toto-style “Africa” brass with Arturia Pure LoFi. I also talk about how I think about synthesizer programming, answer the question, “What is synthesis?” and talk about synth programming as a folk art. So grab a Coke (or other stimulant of choice) and join me for a MODULATION-A-GO-GO episode of your sniff favorite talky synthesizer content show!"

"This is the complete Steve Porcaro star licks instructional video. I bought this tape from japan (hence the subtitles) and ripped it myself, so its as good quality as i could get it. Because it's from japan, it's technically called "SUPER TECHNICAL APPROACH," but its the same thing as star licks."

“Chain Reaction” Brainwaves controlling a Buchla Morphagene CV/MIDI setup & INA GRM Tools Atelier 🧠✨


video upload by Stephano Gavilanes

"Biofeedback exploration using brainwaves via the BI1 Brainterface to control a hybrid CV/MIDI Buchla setup with the Fake Noise - Morphagene, Magnetic Freak - Gaussian, and five instances of INA GRM Tools 'Atelier' via MIDI👌🏽

Original sample sounds produced with an EMS VCS3, a Buchla 200 system, and later processed with Atelier. Timpani type percussion extracted from my track “Maestro” which was created by accident with only a 212 Dodecamodule and a Folktek Resonant Garden as a feedback patch, loaded into Morphagene.

Hope you enjoy it! 🤙🏼
