Embark on a journey through time with the latest addition to the MEDIEVAL PHRASES series: FIDDLE & NYCKELHARPA. With the Fiddle, with its rich and expressive tones, coupled with the Nyckelharpa’s distinctive resonant strings, we invite you to capture the mood of medieval times. Composers and producers can now use dramatic live performances by outstanding performers or freely play their instruments with varied articulations.
Imagine the bustling markets and vibrant festivals of late medieval Europe, where the rhythm and bounce of the Fiddle & Nyckelharpa set feet tapping and light the hearts of weary travelers. These instruments were the lifeblood of celebration, often heard at markets and taverns above the chatter of merchants and the laughter of children. Their history is woven through countless generations, where they not only provided entertainment but also served as a cultural heartbeat during times of both hardship and prosperity.
MEDIEVAL PHRASES FIDDLE & NYCKLEHARPA carry within tales of the past, each string resonating with stories untold. The Fiddle’s bow dances across strings to produce a vibrant, rhythmic melody, while the Nyckelharpa’s keyed fiddle design adds an otherworldly depth. These sounds, once echoing through medieval tavern halls and open markets, are now crisply captured for the modern composer. With MEDIEVAL PHRASES, breathe new life into your medieval compositions, delivering an authentic experience that is both profound and exhilarating.
SOUNDS OF KNIGHTS AND TAVERNS
Our first phrase library focusing on plucked instruments, MEDIEVAL PHRASES LUTE & THEORBO brings you into a world of classic imagination, booming with bards and taverns, questing knights, and roving robber barons and bandits.
In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the bards in courts and taverns constantly needed new ways to inspire their audiences. People looked back to the ancients for their inspiration, whether in science or medicine, or in music. The Ancient Greeks tapped into the divine in their epic recitations accompanied by the lyre and kithara. It was only natural that during the late medieval times – when all things ancient were coming into fashion again – that the lute and theorbo would take a centerpiece.
Our MEDIEVAL PHRASES LUTE & THEORBO brings back that flair of medieval castles and the inspiring spirit of the Renaissance, transporting you to rustic pubs and medieval markets, from Homer’s epics to the court of the Medicis. The light, heavenly plucks of the lute are richly accented by the deep voice of the theorbo, perfect for period pieces, experimental music, or ambient dwellings.

Mind States is an experimental sound library that includes different types of tones known for altering the state of mind of the listener
The thoughts and emotions of an individual are communicated by neurons within the brain. The interaction of neurons causes brainwaves and these vary according to the mental state of the individual. With an external stimulus like audio, we can synchronize brainwaves to the frequency of the audio and attain a desired mental state. This is achieved using Binaural Beats, Monaural Beats, or Isochronic Tones, where the difference between two tones is perceived as a pulsating ‘Beat’ which synchronizes with Brainwaves.
This library is created by our specialist team who have designed sound and music for some of the world’s most respected spa/relaxation companies. Our Audio Craftsmen have researched and experimented, creating different tones in different frequency ranges to trigger different psychological responses. The files were created using the purest tone generators available so that the brain will not be disturbed by additional harmonics of the waveforms.
These are categorized into Delta waves (0.1Hz to 4Hz), associated with deep sleep and relaxation; Theta waves (4Hz to 8Hz), linked to REM sleep, meditation, and relaxation; Alpha waves (8Hz to 13Hz), which are responsible for positivity, anxiety, fast learning, etc; Beta waves (13Hz to 30Hz), linked to increased concentration, alertness; Gamma waves (30hz and above), when we are in peak awareness, tension, etc.
Our library consists of Binaural Beats, Monoaural Beats, Isochronic Tones, and Solfeggio Frequencies which are said to alter brainwaves. Each of these includes tones covering the full spectrum of brainwave categories. All files are in 24Bit 96KHz, totaling 7.2GB.
This bundle is a perfect choice for Spa and meditation centers. Also, these tones can be used for experimental music, films, ASMR, and even for self listening. No doubt, you will be getting an exceptional audio experience in your projects with this library. Try combining our tones to build your own unique experiences!
Here are the included folders:
⦁ Binaural Beats: Two pure tones of slightly different frequencies are played together (one tone per ear).
⦁ Monaural Beats: Similar to Binaural Beats, except the two tones are played in mono, and the resulting difference in the tones are perceived as a separate tone in our brain. Monaural Beats are considered to be more effective than Binaural Beats and can be played through one speaker.
⦁ Isochronic Tones: These are single tones turning on and off at regular intervals, which results in a rhythmic pulse. These are widely used for Brainwave Entertainment.
⦁ Solfeggio Frequencies: These frequencies were used in the ancient 6-tone scale and believed to be used in several ancient sacred music styles. These tones are said to have capabilities in promoting various aspects of physical and mental health.
⦁ Pads: An additional folder that includes a variety of soft and focussed pads, perfect for layering with the included tonal elements.

AN OCTAPHONIC ADVENTURE
OB-E – is our take on the legendary 8-Voice. More than just an emulation, OB-E offers a unique musical experience. Sounding HUGE, it takes the iconic Synthesiser Expander Module based 8-Voice (a.k.a the EVS) into new sonic territory via a raft of enhancements and additions.
The concept of the 8-Voice is actually very simple; based around a single Module containing two VCOs with Pulse and Sawtooth waveforms, two ADS Envelope Generators, one LFO, and a magical Multi-Mode Filter. In isolation each Module is monophonic, but in the 8-Voice, because there are eight Modules triggered by a polyphonic keyboard, you have a superb eight note polyphonic synthesiser. While simple at heart, OB-E is, to our knowledge, the first virtual instrument with complete per-voice control. This unique Octaphonic architecture offers fresh and exciting creative possibilities to music producers, composers and sound designers for the first time in the digital realm.

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.
