Where words fail, music gains its power. Now bringing together the soulful intimacy of our premier Felt Piano, LO•KI; the elegant delicacy of our mysterious Concert Harp, HA•PI; and the vintage analogue warmth of our Electric Piano, RO•KI. Use them together to compose unique melodies emerging from these extremely emotional and simple-to-use lyrical instruments. Previously released individually and as a duo, with the new GLOW Bundle, all three are now offered together at a reduced price.
While the LO•KI Felt Piano offers soft hammerfalls and mechanical sounds with multiple microphone positions, the HA•PI Concert Harp is a meticulously recorded set of strings with 5 round robins and variable dynamic tones and range. The latest addition, our Electric Piano RO•KI, lets you switch between the raw DI signal or the warmth of a vintage style amp with 20 velocity layers. All three instruments feature the GLOW knob, which turns their sounds into mysterious, ethereal soundscapes with shimmering tones and enigmatic ambiances. All with a single rotation.

“Bizzarro” is a unique instrument. It features two separate sound engines that can be blended together to create Your unique sounds. The two engines are called “Transient” and “Partials”. The first one is a collection of pluck sounds you can shape with fundamental controls and a dedicated multimode filter. The second engine is called “Partials” and it gives You a huge variety of sonic shaping options. It has five level controls for “partials”, like you would have in additive synthesis, but instead of being simple sine waveforms each partial is a complex and rich sound, tuned following the harmonic series. It also has a dedicated multimode filter. Both filters have their own envelope generator with dedicated controls. The Partials engine also has a dedicated Vibrato effect.
The instrument contains 6 sets of sounds, called “Engines”. Each set has a dedicated channel strip in the interface and can be processed with a dedicated sub- page. You can also choose an individual audio output for further processing in your favorite DAW with effect plugins of your choice.
Each sound has been recorded with two different mic placements, and you can mix them to your taste.

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.
