Casio PT-10

Sounds from a Casio PT-10 mini-keyboard. Each of the four voices have been multi-sampled. Loops of the ten different rhythms have also been provided at two different speeds.

Casio Rapman

Here is a complete sample set of the Casio Rapman keyboard. Hits come from drum pads and scratch wheel on the device. Each patch was multi-sampled, with a C note for three octaves. Patch 41 is percussive and has 4 hits instead. Each Rap is a drum loop, sometimes with bass or keys added.

Casio SK-1 Rhythm & Tone

All samples were produced using a unmodified Casio SK-1 Sampling Keyboard. Normalization was used across multi-samples, but dynamics between notes are preserved. Some samples are labeled to indicate note or drum pattern. All eleven drum patterns are sampled at the default rhythm. The fill pattern for each rhythm is also available. Each of the eight built-in voices has been multi-sampled at octave intervals of the note C. Individual drum hits have been extracted from patterns.

Learning Toy

All samples were produced with a circuit bent off-brand/unmarked learning toy. This toy has multiple modes for learning letters and numbers. A pitch control has been fitted, which can cause the toy to crash when clocked fast enough. A switch has also been added to activate a strange pitch glitch mode. Both controls are used throughout the sample set to produce weird sounds. Later samples has been extracted form a glitch stream caused by clocking the toy at its extremes. Samples are 48K/24 bit, with -0.3db normalization applied.

Crown Elephant Organ

All samples were produced using a modified toy dubbed the Elephant Organ. Each key makes a distinct animal noise using square waves. A control was added to modify the pitch of the toy. Each of the 7 keys has been recorded at 7 different pitches, from low to high. When the pitch reaches a certain threshold, the synthesis breaks down and becomes glitchy. This pack includes 20 glitch samples.

FM_SK

The focus is on odd, grainy FM percussive sounds. All samples were produced using a Yamaha TX81z sound module. Each percussive sample was then processed using a modified Casio SK-1 Sampling Keyboard to give the pure FM tones more grit. Over 150 samples are included in this sample pack. No normalization was used, nor was any tuning performed.

Fujitone 3A

A collection of sounds from a Fujitone 3A keyboard. This keyboard is very lo-fi squarewave toy with lots of grainy charm. The drums in particular are quite fun. Included in this pack are multisamples of all 12 tones dry, with sustain and with vibrato. Samples of individual drum hits and all 8 drum patterns are also included. Normalization was used between instruments, but not individual multisamples.

GTR Model 3751 Chord Organ

Chord organs were very common in the 70s as a cheap home instrument. Each key activates a reed, which produces a note that sounds much like an accordion or melodica. Some keys activate entire chords for ease of play. The whole system uses a fan to pressurize the air that then flows through the reeds. It is a very simple system, hence it's popularity (and cheesiness). Included are 3-octaves worth of notes and sounds of the fan motor running. The volume changes drastically as the player moves up the octaves. Some resonances also occur within the air chamber for certain notes.

Modular Bass MFOS Pack

This sample pack contains recordings from our DIY modular system which feature the Music From Outer Space State Variable Filter. The focus is mainly on bass sounds. This filter circuit was created by the late and very great Ray Wilson. The filter provides three 12db/octave modes: Low Pass, High Pass and Band Pass. It is a solid all-around filter without too much bite.

Modular Bass Steiner Pack

This sample pack contains recordings from our DIY modular system which feature the Cat Girl Synth Steiner-Parker Tribute Filter. The focus is mainly on bass sounds. This filter circuit is based on the design found in the Steiner-Parker Synthacon Synthesizer. It is different than traditional filter in that it has inputs for each type of response: Low Pass, High Pass and Band Pass. All three can be used simultaneously, with a mixed output appearing at the output jack. Modulating the cutoff scans between the inputs. The filter also has a very aggressive and unique resonance. This has been further enhanced on our module by including a switch which kicks the output into overdrive using a high gain circuit. The module itself was designed by Ken Stone.

Modular Bass Wave Multiplier Pack

This sample pack contains recordings from our DIY modular system which feature the Cat Girl Synth Wave Multipler module. The focus is mainly on bass sounds. This module operates on smooth waveforms to add progressively more harmonics by folding the wave over on itself. There are three methods for doing this: the Serge based folder, a Lockhart wavefolder (with AC and DC modes) and the Grinder. All have their own unique sound, with Serge being the smoothest and the Grinder being the most aggressive. The module itself was designed by Ken Stone.

MSYN_SK

This sample pack contains samples produced using a Seaweed Factory MSYN Microsynth. The MSYN is a tiny microsynth containing an oscillator which modulates another oscillator, followed by a gating circuit with variable gate width. The entire signal path is analog and built around a 40106 hex inverter IC. Each sample was then processed using a modified Casio SK-1 Sampling Keyboard to give the synth tones more weirdness and distortion.

Bent Pox Toy

This sample pack features sounds from an early circuit-bent creation called Pox. It is a toy guitar that has been modified with contact points and a bending touch plate. For added noise, the batteries have been aged to perfection before sampling. It is decidedly unmusical, but can produce unique noise. Each of the Piano and Horn sounds has been multisampled over 13 notes. Static noises from rubbing wires on the touchplate have also been included.

Roland JX3P - Strings & Pads

This pack focuses on string and pad patches from the Roland JX3P Synthesizer. It is well known for these types of sounds. The four patches included have been multisampled directly from the synthesizer. The JX3P can produce 61 notes, starting at C3 (midi note 36) on up through C8 (midi note 96). Each note had been individually sampled for an extended period of time to capture the behaviour of the built-in chorus.

Roland JX3P - Effects

This pack focuses on effects patches from the Roland JX3P Synthesizer. The four patches included have been multisampled directly from the synthesizer. The JX3P can produce 61 notes, starting at C3 (midi note 36) on up through C8 (midi note 96). Each note had been individually sampled for an extended period of time to capture the behaviour of the built-in chorus.

Yamaha PS-35

This sample pack features sounds from a Yamaha PS-35 keyboard. This keyboard contains 12 presets which combine FM synthesis with an analog chorus circuit. The chorus offers three independent settings: bypassed, chorus and tremolo. The tremolo setting adds amplitude modulation to the chorus effect. Each preset has been sampled with the chorus setting active. All 49 keys were recorded for each preset. Samples start on MIDI note C2 (note 24). Also includes drum and bass sounds.
