Inspired by a technique for creating huge snare sounds by placing a tom on top of a snare, I developed "Stacked It", now available on Decent Sampler. Each sample was recorded on different days using various drum kit parts, resulting in a distinct, powerful snare sound.

The kit features boomy toms, crisp hi-hats, and a lush crash cymbal, with six built-in loops and a mixer for volume, pitch, and pan control. With its striking interface, "Stacked It" is designed to elevate your music.

Check out the tutorial that inspired this sound here.

As a volunteer at the Musical Museum, I have the unique opportunity to sample historic instruments. Recently, I set my sights on the Optigan, a keyboard instrument from the 1970s known for its optical discs that play pre-recorded sounds. I aimed to sample the waltz disk, adding a nostalgic touch to my collection.

Unfortunately, just as I was ready to record, the Optigan's motor burnt out. This setback has postponed the project, but I remain eager to capture its distinctive sound in the future.
