2G is a sampler that looks and sounds like an early-2000s handheld devices. We imagined what Neural Synthesis would have been like back then. Describe a sound and 2G makes it. Then edit it and play it from your computer keyboard, or load your own audio instead. 2G is free for Windows and macOS, as a plugin or a standalone app, and starts you with 20 credits for generating sounds. Studio ($10/month, 7-day trial) gives you 200 credits a month.
Four voices puts a real limit on how crowded a part can get. I can see that giving the sampler its own character even after the retro look stops being new.
four voices and a little speaker that rings is a very specific kind of limitation lol
being able to load your own audio makes that interesting beyond the first generated sound
Hi PH, we’re Scrap Brain Audio. We’re mostly curious whether the idea behind 2G holds up.
Most music software keeps getting cleaner and more capable. We went the other way on purpose: a low sample rate, a speaker that compresses and rings, only four voices. Would you want limits like that in the tools you use, or do they get in the way once the novelty wears off?

Who hunted 2G?
2G was hunted by Metehan Sipahi. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

Finally, a way to make my music sound like it came from a phone with 2% battery in 2002 😂 Love this idea!
