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.

I’m just nervous I might unintentionally make it say something awful in Japanese :)

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

THE FREE SERIES: API Drums - sulcata sound
THE FREE SERIES: API Drums - sulcata sound YouTube video by Jason Graves Music

Fred Poirier & JoΓ«l DolliΓ©'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!

Making music with Nintendo Gameboy & Friends
Making music with Nintendo Gameboy & Friends YouTube video by David Hilowitz Music

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 really loved your dad. You and he were both huge inspirations for me getting into electronics and computers. :)

oh, that one is so great! heads up: i may end up cropping the video to make more of it fit on the screen since longform has to be landscape. in terms of timeline, I probably won't "finish" the video until Thursday or Friday at the earliest :)

Is it OK if I show like 8 seconds from one of your "top-down" GB videos (maybe this one www.instagram.com/p/CosbSnygWxX/) just to give a sense of what's possible in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing? :)

I'm also expecting to build a Pico Tracker, but I'm not sure if that will be in this video or not

I think the video is going to be 50% LSDJ and 50% NitroTracker on the Nintendo DS

Well, it took me two hours, but I've finally put together a tiny snippet of a song...this should be enough to show off the most basic principles of how LSDJ works in a larger video :)
