Soundtoys to Donate 100% of Sales to Help Protect LGBTQIA+ Rights Shop to Donate June 25–26

Press release follows:

BURLINGTON, VT (June 23, 2025): Audio eﬀects company Soundtoys announced that 100% of all sales made on June 25 and 26 will be donated to Lambda Legal, the leading US organization dedicated to the civil rights of LGBTQIA+ people and everyone living with HIV.

This two-day campaign reflects Soundtoys’ ongoing commitment to equity, justice, and creative freedom. Customers who purchase any Soundtoys plug-in, bundle, or upgrade during the campaign period will directly support Lambda Legal’s critical legal advocacy, public policy work, and impact litigation eﬀorts across the United States.

“We’re in the midst of an erosion and outright assault on freedom of expression, civil rights, and bodily autonomy, much of it directed towards those who are the most vulnerable,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and lead designer.

“We strongly believe that diversity and our ability to live and express ourselves freely are one of our greatest strengths – especially within the music and arts communities. It’s easy to feel powerless these days, but supporting Lambda Legal is one small way we can all help to protect the freedoms that many of us take for granted.”

To participate, visit www.soundtoys.com on June 25 and 26, 2025. If you already own the full Soundtoys bundle, please consider participating by purchasing a gift card or making a personal donation.

Panharmonium Revisited | 'worldwide harmony?'

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"It's probably me, but I don't feel comfortable with apache helicopters in the air and patriots at the coast line. The NATO summit is tomorrow and it's just a few miles away. I try to stay as far away from politics as possible but the World isn't a good place since the 2020 pandemic, the Russia Ukraine pandemic, the Israel Gaza pandemic and now Iran. If Iran attacks the USA, are we then at war with Iran too?

As always, it's a great time for some uncomplicated patching. I will revisit the Rossum Panharmonium in this video. Under the given circumstances I guess the name can be translated as Worldwide Harmony. Keep your head down and I hope I can post something new by the end of this week. MakeNoise Jumbler coming soon!"
