What is summer without a few good cookouts? Our most fond memories of this season take place in the backyard, in the park, or at the block party.  There is no better way to spend a summer day than with the sun blazing down on your skin, a red solo cup in one hand, and friends and family to your left and right. 

Our latest sample collection titled The Cookout features a slew of vintage analog synthesizers and keyboards (including a newly acquired 1977 Hohner Pianet T)  recorded through tube preamplifiers to call on the nostalgic sound of our favorite cookout anthems. 

In episode 4, John Smythe discusses utilizing a different technique in the creation of this new sample pack, and showcasing a brand new instrument.
