Video: Let’s Build A Synthesizer!
In this video, I build an actual physical synth out of resistors, capacitors, and a 555 timer. I then sample it and turn it into a synthwave-inspired Kontakt patch.

In this video, I show how to make drums out of regular, run-of-the-mill party balloons. As a bonus, I’ve sampled some of mine and turned them into a free Kontakt / SFZ instrument. You can download a free Kontakt / SFZ sample library of the balloon drums here.
In this video, I take some first steps towards coding my own arpeggiator script. I also show off the great arpeggiator script that comes bundled with Kontakt. Along the way, I turn some samples of a toy piano I sampled and turn them into a full-featured Kontakt library. The Toy Piano Kontakt library I made…

Have you ever had an audio file that contained a bunch of extra frequencies in it that you wish you could just remove? Spectral editing may be for you. In this video, I show how to use spectral editing to clean up a sample so that I can make a Kontakt instrument–but not just any…
In this video, I provide a basic introduction to SFZ – a free sampling format that provides a lot of the same functionality as Kontakt, albeit with a far more basic UI.

In last week’s video, I recorded my own voice and turned it into a free choir library. In this video, I work with those same samples to add modwheel crossfades to the instrument.
I’ve made a choir out of my own voice, and now I’m releasing as a FREE sample (Kontakt & SFZ). Download the sample here: https://www.decentsamples.com/product/dave-choir-kontakt/
