Sample Magic has announced the release of SM15 Dubstep and Grime, a new multi-format sample library.

Hundreds of dark and dubbed-out hardstep grooves; aggressive beats and raw rhythms; abrasive basslines and cone-ripping wobblers; filth-dribbling synths and sleaze-symphonics; pre-mixed combi songstarters, bleak soundscapes, screwed-up vocals, street sirens, broken CPUs, FX and 260+ crunked up drum hits.

SM15 Dubstep and Grime features

• Drum beats — 100s of dark and dubbed-out hardstep grooves, sleazy and shuffly floor-melters and tweeter-teasing tops at 140bpm – presented with a range of variants.
• Bass loops — Cone-ripping wobblers, glitched out analogue LFOrmant busters and slinky subs – all key-labeled for your ease.
• Synth and music loops — Filth-dribbling stabs, sleaze-symphonics, nu-dub guitars and many more.
• Combi and vox mashups — Pre-mixed and broken out songstarters, bleak soundscapes, and screwed-up vocal sleazefests.
• FX — Sirens, echoes and street noise – field recordings from the urban underground – plus broken CPUs, drops, glitches, de-tuned radio trackers and more.
• Drum hits — 260+ bass-busting kicks, crooked snares, wonky bass hits and hefty hats – all custom edited and fed through our all-analogue signal path.
• Includes Rex2 & RMX-compatibale Rex2 loops, Apple Loops, EXS24, HALion, Reason NN-XT and Kontakt II patches.

Some interesting things I found recently:

# Arduino Piano Squealer Synth

Marc Nostromo developed the Arduino Piano Squealer Synth for the Arduino Pocket Piano, an arduino shield produced by Critters and Guitari.

The engine implements a small monosynth with a few waveforms, a HP/BP/LP continuous resonant filter, decay and a few little own tricks that generate a LOT of aliases, making a great dirty digital synth. Since the Pocket Piano has only 3 potentiometers available for control (the 4th one being hardwired to the volume), I use a “page” system to implement series of 3 parameters to fiddle with. To switch “page”, use the rightmost note of the A.P (NOT the one under the led, the one left to to it). To help you know which page you are at, you can use the led: it will flash a number of time equivalent to the current page you are at.

The source code of the Arduino Piano Squealer synth is available under GPL License V3.
