I have just decided to get into a bit of sampling and intend to sample my hardware and toys so that I have access to their sounds where ever I may be. Rather than invest in expensive software to achieve this, I have downloaded the now free shortcircuit sampler vst instrument.
I have quickly created a plinky key sample set using this software. It took me about 30 minutes and whilst it is not going to win any awards it may help you understand how to use the software. Click Here to Download plinky-key
Just been up to a bit of surfing and looking at the lovely www.robotvsdinosaur.co.uk blog. I thought I would shamelessly steal one of their posts and in return plug the night again (hope it is a fair trade).
Well anyways have a look and listen at this fab Rubiks Cube style video from Bristol’s Portmanteau and come on over to the Island bar tomorrow night to catch them live.
If you woule like your electronic music to be considered for the first klunk podcast please send an mp3 file including your details to arcade500@msn.com. I intend to make this a regular feature, assuming that I can gather enough submissions to make a worth while cast.
