A massive electro-acoustic drone SFX library reft from a custom designed and hand-built instrument! These drones were coaxed from a unique instrument using the power of air. No harsh picking or plucking, just assorted techniques for moving air deftly across the strings.
The guitar, Yvaine, was recorded simultaneously via two tracks (one direct and another amped and mic’d) and was set to 23 different tunings to encompass the full spectrum of her voice, character, and soul. The tunings are as follows:
All5ths | B6th | Capo12th | CassianoPereiraViana | CrossnoteF | Cuba | DADGAD | DropB | Hawaiian | Koto | OpenA | OpenC | OpenD | OpenE | OpenF | OpenG | OpenPage | Orkney | Ostrich | Pentatonic | “Spira” | Standard | TheEdge
The files range from uber clean and harmonic to gritty, crackling, and distorted. For some of the overdriven amped recordings, we even experimented with creative NR settings for the modulation of artificial harmonics…and kept some of the more colorful results! Between the two different tracks, multiple takes were made per strength, per position, per recording. Depending on which takes were best, some of the DI and amped captures matched, while others were physically different. This offers unique layering capabilities for some sets while allowing for variety in others. Some of the sets are missing particular strength recordings at specific positions. But if a capture wasn’t appropriate, we didn’t include it.
This is a bountiful collection of droning goodness. Use it for good.

Orbital Emitter is proud to present our first 3 in 1 Sound-Set Bundle, The Upper Decks!
This bundle is made up of of three distinct sound-sets focused on environments found within many science fiction stories and media! The Upper Decks Sound-Set Bundle is comprised of The Control Room, The Medical Bay and The Science Lab!
Each of these environments contain meticulously crafted audio-scenes representing the three environments as well as the curated audio-stems (that are the isolated elements the scenes were made from.)
This sound-set is brimming with imaginative sounds and you have the ability to customize them any way you wish!
The first in our bundle is The Control Room – a somewhat cramped environment with futuristic tech sounding over the hum of nearby power systems. The mood is urgent and a bit rough around the edges- by design! Retro tech mingles with a lone AI speaking and a massive background rumble…
Next is the Medical Bay where the crew goes to be medically evaluated and healed using futuristic techniques. The mood is calm but controlled as a medical procedure unfolds before your ears! There are medical scans, anesthesia fields, healing apparatus and more!
Last is the Science Lab where mysteries are explored using the latest in futuristic scientific equipment! There are vibrant scans, dense subatomic extrapolations and neural data streams that will inspire your imagination!
All of our environments also include the less glamorous necessities like room tones and background rumbles to give your creations the believability they deserve.
The Upper Decks is a great value featuring a diverse palette of creative sounds for you to explore.
Just drag and drop our scenes or stems into any DAW or NLE have fun creating your own fantastic environments!
Orbital Emitter’s sound effects are designed for anyone to use- from industry professionals to fans looking to add dimension to a home video or whatever sci-fi multimedia you can imagine!

Glass Bottle Percussion is a cinematic instrument built from 400+ sample recordings of antique glass bottles.
Our Audio Craftsmen meticulously edited, balanced and programmed 4 round robins and 3 velocity layers for each bottle, before integrating them into our Kontakt interface, giving Film Composers and Music Producers a suite of unique textures to use in their tracks. These sounds are perfect for trailer percussion loops, rhythmic tension, electronic music and film score cues with an exotic tonality.
The Main Articulations include: Drumstick Hits, Hand Taps, Bottle Top Hits, Drum Beater Hits, Nail Taps, Rolls, Scrapes and Wobbles.
But we didn’t stop there… As always with our Kontakt library releases, our in-house Composers designed an eclectic array of designed patches. Pads, choirs, drones, oil drums, screams, plucks and even karate chops give the user both tonal and atonal material to layer with their percussion, and build a haunting, glassy texture into their sound.
The 344 Audio Kontakt interface provides a variety of controls that encourage experimentation with the patches. The built in Arpeggiator is great for generating hundreds of percussion variations on the fly, while the Main View provides a set of parameters perfect for shaping the sounds your way.
Kontakt 5.8.1 or higher is required.

Singing Slates is a unique cinematic Kontakt library built from sample recordings of a rare, custom built percussion instrument, perfect for adding an African or Tribal inspired melody into your music.
The handcrafted instrument we used was built from natural Welsh slate, by carefully tuning each piece and cutting it to size. Our Audio Craftsmen experimented with different types of beaters before recording to capture the most natural sound in this one of a kind instrument.
We then meticulously edited, balanced and programmed 13 different patches and integrated them into our Kontakt interface, giving Music Producers and Film Composers an extensive set of rare sounds. We have implemented 3 octaves of tuned slate sounds, which provides a positive, uplifting sound and can be used as a replacement for a Kalimba. This exotic instrument is perfect for creating cinematic scores, percussion loops and music of different genres.
As always with our Kontakt releases, our in-house composers designed 12 additional patches including kick drums, snares, kalimba, riser, creepy alarms, monster laughter and much more to add extra tonal and atonal elements to your music.
Our user-friendly Kontakt interface provides a variety of controls that encourage experimentation with the patches. The built in Arpeggiator and Step Sequencer are great for generating hundreds of percussion/lead variations on the fly. We also dedicated ADSR controls to shape your sounds while the main view provides various effects and controls to design unique sounds.
Mind States Vol. 2 is the direct successor of one of our most popular experimental sound effects libraries. This product includes a collection of mind-bending drones and binaural beats, which take the listener on a journey of altered consciousness through the use of special tones and frequencies.
This library has been assembled by our specialist team who have designed custom sounds and music for some of the world’s most respected spa/wellness companies. Our Audio Craftsmen have researched and experimented with different tones and frequencies to induce a range of altered psychological states.

This volume consists of binaural beats covering the full spectrum of brainwave categories, abstract meditative drones and hypnotic pads, perfect for creating a transcendental audio experience.
In addition, all the files are available in 24Bit 96kHz with extensive UCS compliant metadata to integrate seamlessly with your workflow.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
