Sound effect based instruments for sound design and music composition

  •
    Hum, Buzz & Glitch Sound Effects Transmission Apparatus Play Track 373 sounds included From: $49

    Transmission apparatus is a construction kit designed to create a broad range of communication sounds, from real to “alien” broadcasting signals.

    The library contains more than 2 GB of data, delivered in 373 files of unique sound material. It’s catalogued in five elements: AM (amplitude modulation), FM (frequency modulation), SSB (single side band – aka ham radio), KYMA (synthesised noises) and VOCAL (unintelligible speeches).

    The first three bands were recorded from the output of different radio receivers at 96 kHz via a Crane Song HEDD (Harmonically Enhanced Digital Device) to add warmth and tube/analog sonic color to the recordings. All the samples have been carefully selected from these recording sessions, with the addition of just a little dsp processing to widen the stereo field.

    The Kyma folder also contains unique audio files entirely synthesised in the SSC Kyma+Paca(rana) environment. A group of SFX called Vocal is the result of “destroyed” dialogues and vocal sources via spectral processing.

    Transmission Apparatus is available in two versions:

    96 kHz .WAV version• Audio Format: Broadcast Wave Files (.wav)
    • Bit Depth: 24-bit Size: 2.49 GB
    • Download size is 1.82 GB (compressed .rar archive)

  • Bundles Beautiful Bells Bundle Play Track 2000+ sounds included, 358 mins total $189

    Discover one of the biggest collections of bells ever recorded with nearly 6 hours of sound.

    Beautiful Bells BUNDLE contains the solo ringing of 76 swinging bells and 135 stationary bells, captured in 62 bell towers, carillons, chapels, churches, cathedrals, basilicas and clock towers across France, with unprecedented quality. Most of the sounds were recorded inside bell towers.

    Swinging bells are struck by a hanging clapper. They have a natural pitch modulation due to the Doppler effect, and a timbre modulation due to varying orientation. They produce a deep and lively sound and are mostly used to announce masses, religious holidays, weddings and funerals.

    Stationary bells are struck by external hammers. They have a steady and rich tone, with a long sustain. They are mostly used as musical instruments in carillons, to indicate the hour in clock chimes or to alert the population in tocsins.

    Every bell size and pitch is represented in this library, from huge 10 ton bourdon to tiny carillon bells weighing a few kilograms. You will find bells founded from 14th to 21st century with a great variety of timbres and tunings, over a range of more than 5 octaves. The sounds are sorted by note from D2 to G7.

    The library contains 2 carillons with 54 bells and 10 bells, available as sound files and virtual instruments (NI Kontakt and EXS24 with round robin).

    You will also get 15 peals of multiple bells, called plenum.

    By sorting the solo sounds by location, you can recreate authentic bell combinations. You also have the freedom to create any custom combination or use the sounds as instruments in musical scores.

    All the sounds in this library were recorded in bell towers or as close as possible to provide great sonic precision and optimal signal-to-noise ratio.

    Over 12,000 kilometers were traveled during six months to get you one of the most exhaustive swinging bell collection ever recorded.

  • Drones & Mood Sound Effects Infinite Pads and Drones for Kontakt Play Track 160 sounds included, 15min (embedded Loop points) mins total $29

    “Infinite” specializes in dark drones, wide ambiances and thrilling textures that play with great depth and large stage.
    Each of the 160 included samples was carefully handcrafted by treating various sources with a complex chain of hardware FX units. The resulting sounds can be used out of the box whenever it comes to the creation of impressive background layers or establishing otherworldly movie scenes.

    The library contains two folders: North and South.
    The sounds in the North folder still have trace elements of harmonic structures while the South folder provides textures without decent pitch.

    All contained sounds have looppoints embedded so that they can play infinitely in the true sense of the word.
    This is achieved best with the two additional Kontakt 4 instruments that have all sounds layered across the keyboard.
    Nevertheless, the delivered WAV files can be loaded into any modern software sample with loop support.

    This bundle gives you a large collection of high quality sounds from clunky mechanical antique cash registers from the early 1900s as well as an electric metal cash register from the 1970. Powerful source material for designing all sorts of mechanical machinery, user interface, creatures – or simply cash registers.
    Bonus: The bundle comes with two Kontakt instruments (requires full version of Kontakt 6) with several round robins and multiple microphone positions that be used to add mechanical rhythms to your music, or easily sync the sounds to pictures with MIDI notes.

    Clunky mechanical sounds from a collection of antique cash registers from the early 1900s

    Perfect source material for designing all sorts of odd mechanical machinery, steam punk inventions, UI sounds for points and money, or just actual cash registers in shopping scenes. ~420 sounds in 285 files.

    For creating this library we had to track down old cash registers in Denmark. We recorded them all with several high quality microphones from multiple perspectives – even with a lavalier microphone hidden inside the machine for super dry mechanical sounds and contact microphone attached to the back for beefy low end that can be mixed in to make your sounds feel heavier. We even added punchy ready-to-use detailed mixes of all the microphones.

    We experimented to explore all the sonic gems hiding in the machines. You’ll find sounds like the classic “money earned sound” from turning the clicking cranks and bell ring as the drawer opens, chunky mechanical sounds from pulling the levers and foley sounds from touching and handling the cash registers.

    The library has been tagged with extensive metadata and has been tested in Soundminer, Basehead, Soundly and Pro Sound Effects’ Search to make it easy to find the sounds you are looking for.

    The Antique Cash Registers library includes:

    – Chunky rolling lever pulls in various durations

  • Drones & Mood Sound Effects Mind States Play Track 240+ sounds included $59

    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.

  • forgotten zither sound effects
    forgotten zither sound effects
    Drones & Mood Sound Effects Forgotten Zither Play Track 800+ sounds included From: $24

    800+ sounds from one of the most complex and varied sounding instruments that we’ve come across in our junk shop travels. Broken strings, creaky wood and a great resonant cavity gave us a massive collection of sounds ready to be bent and twisted.

    This is a fretless German harp zither, which differs in quality significantly from concert zithers, which have several strings with fretted necks beneath them. This version was manufactured by Friederich Menzenhauer, the father of the zither in the US. Zithers of this kind are notoriously difficult to identify because they contain no distinguishing marks on the bodies themselves, and the only branding is on the paper label deteriorating inside the soundhole.

    Our version had been worn beyond all repair through decades of age and neglect. Broken strings, creaky wood and a great resonant cavity gave us a massive collection of sounds ready to be bent and twisted.

    We did much more than just throw a couple of mics up and pluck – this instrument was recorded with a stethoscope mic, a lav inside the cavity, overhead xy, room mics, and more. We banged, scraped, bowed, ebowed, and thumped every last noise out of this one in three separate sessions. The end result was a collection of about 5 Gb of edited stereo 24 bit 96k sound.

    The Kontakt instruments are where the real magic happens with this instrument. There are presets for horror string hits, angelic and demonic pads, old creaks and more. The zither barely survived, but it gave us an array of sounds that are very different from what you’ll get from a properly tuned and maintained instrument. It is the uniqueness of the decay that gives our zither its character.

    Forgotten Zither is available in two versions

  • Playable Sound Libraries The Keyless Piano Body for NI Kontakt Play Track 1181 sounds included $45

    The Keyless Piano Body is a Kontakt Patch library that features an abandoned upright piano without keyboard.
    The library encompasses the results of three extensive recording sessions and features the wonderful and reverberant sound of these piano remains.

    For session 1 and 2 the body was brought to a studio and literally laid back so that various things like plastic balls, felt balls, glasses and much more could be thrown in to excite the strings. At the end of both sessions tons of samples were ready to edit. They now form 13 Kontakt instruments that encompass several precisely tuned pianos plus many prepared piano sets.
    Session 3 was kind of a field recording gig as the piano remains were meanwhile moved to a rural garden area. The nightly recordings were done 6-channel so that several sample sets from 2 acoustic mics and 4 contact pick ups could be created. Again, the Kontakt instruments from this session feature the sounds of a rotten piano that is lovely and impressive at the same time. In a second pass the piano strings were treated with a stell jazz brush to bring up 3 multi-channel sets with prepared piano-like sounds.

    Please see the Patch List here or below to learn more about the individual instruments. Also note that The Keyless Piano Body requires Kontakt 4 or higher.

  • Mechanical Sound Effects Antique Accordion Play Track 570+ sounds included $36

    A killer antique accordion full of paper crinkles, key clacks, sick sounding wheezes and old wood creaks. The antique accordion was rescued from a local antique shop. It has a hole in the bellows that creates a distinct wheezing sound, and it is loaded up with strange squeaks, pops and paper textures.

    We rolled on this instrument for about an hour, and did everything from flicking the keys to dropping and pounding it. The accordion took some abuse, but in the end what it gave back was a wealth of old sounding textures you can’t fake.

    This instrument was recorded at 24 bit 96k, in dual mono – with an AT4050 for a wide perspective and a Schoeps CMC6.MK4 for a close perspective. Comes with 57 .wav files and 19 Kontakt .nki files (the .nki files require the full retail version of NI Kontakt 4.2.3 or later)
