97 vintage electric musical toys in one single instrument !!!

This is certainly the most insane sound library in the market: 97 vintage musical toys were carefully sampled in the very best conditions, 24 bits / 96khz quality, most of them recorded with the best microphones and preamps.

Whatever the kind of music you produce, you will certainly find a place for these incredible sounding toys from the 60s, 70s and 80's. Download and take a look at the content PDF, and you will have a better idea why this library is another milestone collection from Ultimate Sound Bank.

John, that was incredible. I like their acoustic toy samples even more and the percussion stuff is top notch. I just spent 30 minutes on the site and still have more to listen to. That place could cause some serious GAS! Thanks for the heads up!

I opened this thread with trepidation not knowing what I might find.

Only one one of them was a double-manual instrument, though, so its all fairly tame as far as these things go 


Wow that was a blast from the past!  I recognized a few of those.  A Shake organ (according to the pdf - never knew its name) sourced from a garage sale served as the keyboard donor for my first homemade synth.  I "borrowed" a bunch of white aluminum siding from my childhood neighbor's home renovation (scraps, of course ) for the control panel and rehoused it in a pine and masonite enclosure.  Absolute crap keyboard, but its all I had at the time.

Some of those glitchy sounds from these toys still make their way into pro-audio projects today:
