Music toys: QUICKSHOT STUDIO 4 (1988)
Here’s a nice new toy demo from Analog Audio, details below:
Are you tired of cold, digital sounding recordings? The fully analogue QuickShot Studio 4 allows you to bring back the warmth of analogue in your recordings. The Studio 4 contains a great mixing console, a tape recorder, a microphone and very useful effects for the daily studio work…
QuickShot has also produced other high quality studio equipment like the “Sound Machine”. This is a similar machine, just instead of the effects it contains a synthesizer 
.
It came with shoulder straps, microphone and headphones.
As a kid I always wanted it, but nobody wanted to buy it for me… my parents had no clue how important analog recording to me was 
Instruments of Robot Repair

Circuit Bent Coleco Talking Teacher
Background info:
Here’s my take on bending the Coleco Talking Teacher toy. Four bends have been added: short glitch loop, long glitch loop, unsteady long glitch loop, and pitch adjustment. A side cart was added to make room for the controls.
This is one of the most stable talking toys I have bent. The long and short loops are repeatable, so the glitches can be played like you would a drum machine. The sound is also very clear.

Toy Piano – new sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt
AudioThing has released Toy Piano, a sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt.
I always wanted a Toy Piano like Schroeder’s, from Peanuts. I finally got this lovely 2-octaves upright toy piano and I could not resist to sample it and start making sound design. The sound of the piano is produced by metal bars stroke by plastic hammers, almost like a glockenspiel but more deep and warm. The Toy Piano was sampled with the lid both closed and open and percussions samples have been recorded playing the wood case of the Toy Piano with hands, nylon brushes and rubber mallets. There are also two ambient/pad/drone instruments created using samples start/loop tricks and a bunch of effects, both with a custom, tweakable, GUI.
Toy Piano features
- 3 Round Robin samples for each key.
- 6 Random release samples.
- Two sample sets (closed or open lid).
- Size: 108 MB installed.
- Formats: Kontakt and .wav.
- Sample resolution: 44.1Khz / 24Bit.
- Custom performance view.
- Bonus percussion samples and sound designed instruments.
- Native Instruments Kontakt 3.5 full retail version is required.
AudioThing Toy Piano is available to purchase for $5 USD.
