This is a Solar42 emulation that runs in the terminal. Insanely cool! boorch.itch.io/lunar84-term...

In this episode of Will It Synth, Dave ( @dhilowitz.bsky.social ) takes on a traditional Korean Gayageum he found in a thrift shop, did his best to restore, then digitize for your listening and sampling pleasure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJf7...

I made a new video all about using graphing calculators to make music!

Remo should make drum heads that fit perfectly on the standard 5 gallon buckets that contractors use

New video: I found the strangest guitar! youtu.be/Znp45Iqt0mw

In this video, I check out the Chromaplane, a beautiful and unique instrument by @passepartoutduo.bsky.social and Koma Elektronik .

Been having fun with the Chromaplane by @passepartoutduo.bsky.social and Koma Elektronik. More to come (hopefully) next week.

Fred Poirier & Joël Dollié's work on the free API Drums is stunning. Special shoutout to Fred's incredible programming. It's hard to believe, but all 10 presets are from the same drum kit. Super duper thanks to @dhilowitz.bsky.social & Decent Sampler! youtu.be/Mohhseg71mg

Was thrilled when @dhilowitz.bsky.social reached out to me for some advising on chiptune and LSDJ for his new video! Was equally thrilled to have a bit of my music featured in the video as well! It's a fantastic video go check it out! youtu.be/2Ve984OpJeU?...

I made a new video all about Casio guitars of the 80s!

@donutshoes.bsky.social so i just picked up an old gameboy and i’d like to give LSDJ a go. what Flash cart do you recommend?

the best smashing pumpkins song is zombie by the cranberries

REAPER’s HTML Render Statistics are super handy if you’re creating tons of audio assets constantly & need to make sure they meet the loudness specs of your client or target platform. Easily recall loudness readings of past assets without re-measuring! #reaperdaw #gameaudio #sounddesign #wwise #vgm

It's clear that the Trump administration denied due process to the migrants it banished to El Salvador *precisely because* any measure of judicial oversight would've proved their innocence immediately. Deported, imprisoned, and condemned to hard labor—for a soccer tattoo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is probably a way to achieve a pretty edgy sound #sounddesign #synthsky

It blows my mind that after all these years Ableton Live still doesn't have the concept of "Regions" or even a dedicated Marker List window.

Well, it finally happened! I made another CASIO video: youtu.be/UYsPG_hIxpE

This seems like a great development. I'm a huge fan of Teensy boards.

The shameful Democrats who voted along with Republicans to censure Al Green were: Ami Bera of CA, Ed Case of HI, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of NY, Jim Himes of CT, Chrissy Houlahan of PA, Marcy Kaptur of OH, Jared Moskowitz of FL, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of WA, Tom Suozzi of NY.

I finally gave up on watching the Oscars on Hulu. Back to over-the-air broadcast TV for me.

They're dismantling the agency that can, if it did robust enforcement, fill the deficit. For every $1 it spends on enforcement it generates $5-$9 in revenue. We lose ~1 trillion dollars each year to tax fraud, mostly from the rich. Musk paid no income tax in 2021 www.propublica.org/article/the-...

I made a new video! youtu.be/PHMY728BEIo

I made an electronic music album! As many of you know, each of my videos contains at least one new piece of original music, and yet, I almost never end up releasing the music from the videos. With this record, I'm hoping to change that. :) davidhilowitz.bandcamp.com/album/electr...

I made a video about the Panasonic Do-Re-Mi, a little analog synth / organ with a built in record player. youtu.be/8u1hUy--pGs

Someone put an old Estey organ out by the curb, which was tragically sitting out in the rain (no, I didn’t take it. i do have some self-control.)

it really is shockingly playable

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

oh no google seems to think the phrase “mad skills” started as techbro slang

STEVIE this is a CHILDRENS TOY lol. What have I created? Let’s see what happens on Christmas Day.

Recently fell down the rabbit hole of analog synths, and this video from @dhilowitz.bsky.social has been BY FAR the most helpful toward gaining an understanding of what’s actually happening and how they work. Thanks, Dave! #analogsynths #musictech #educational youtu.be/kBT4ycltfBE?...

This year, I finally got rid of my Spotify Premium subscription. When I want to stream music, I use Youtube Music, but I mostly listen to music I purchased from Bandcamp or that I ripped from CDs.

So the @decentsamples.com website is under some sort of attack. We've had 100k+ requests in the past 12h with many different suspicious URLs. They're coming from 4k+ different IPs. MaxMind says all of the IPs are from @cloudflare.social. Wonder how the attackers are doing that?

Also: there's a new, FREE classic analog synthesizer sample library! www.decentsamples.com/product/yama...

Way before editing software, Sergei Eisenstein invented a storyboard method incorporating storyboarding, music - in this case Prokofiev’s score - and an emotional temperature gauge This is a scene from Alexander Nevsky (1938) Isn’t it amazing?! #movies #composition #graphic #history

I just released a new video youtu.be/tp5IB39nT_4

The first draft is online now. I'll keep adding people to it in the coming days. You can find it here: go.bsky.app/Nx69pL1

The Decent Samples Black Friday Sale is underway. All titles are 30-40% off!

Sam Aaron’s free Sonic Pi software is an amazing tool that allows you to make music by coding. It has its own programming language which you can use to construct complex pieces of music in real-time.

I started a Music Software starter pack...! Which other devs are on here that I should add? go.bsky.app/QXXoqqP

Version 1.12.5 of Decent Sampler is out! www.decentsamples.com/product/dece... It contains three new features for sample creators: - Change the background image of a preset - Specify a snapping mode for UI parameters - Note sequence that are not tied to project or DAW tempo

Is there a music technology and/or synth youtuber starter pack somewhere?

DecentSampler is a free sample player plugin with a huge DIY community that shares tons of free or cheap libraries on the Pianobook site including the dude that made it, David Hilowitz (sub to him on youtube if you aren't already his videos rule)

You’re probably all bored with this but we (the tech workers of The NY Times) are still on strike because management refuses to come to the table. Thanks for your support and continuing to boycott Cooking and Games. #BreakYourStreak
