Other Instruments Little Boxes Play Track 1000+ sounds included $54

Little Boxes is a curated collection of four unique sound sets designed to compliment one another sonically and texturally. These textures move from acoustic to electroacoustic to analog synthesis – all programmed into beautiful Kontakt 4 instruments (full NI Kontakt
4.2.3 or later required).

Comes with the following four boxes:

Box 1. Earthquake Detector:

A small device meant to be hung flat on the wall, the balls will swing and strike the strings if the ground begins to move.
This box was shaken, plucked, strummed, performed and ebowed to produce a beautiful palette of acoustic string textures.
In Kontakt those sounds evolved into a group of instruments that ran from folksy, zither like patches to lush, shimmering pads.

Box 2. Folktek Microgarden:
A handmade DIY electroacoustic device, this box is built by Arius Blaze at folktek and features a uniquely electric sound while still allowing for very expressive performances.
Capable of percussion, pads, boings and buzzes, this is a unique and versatile box.
In Kontakt the sounds evolved into an exotic group of instruments ranging from synth pads and percussion kits to vintage otherworldly sonic spectra.
a truly unique piece.

Box 3. MFO Weird Sound Generator:
A DIY analog synth built from a kit, this box yields a broad palette of thick, dynamic, chunky synth tones and evolving textures.
After tweaking knobs and rolling for hours, each chunk of sound that made the cut was carefully edited, tagged, and then further sculpted to achieve its final state.
In Kontakt a broad palette of luscious pads, thick warm basses, and polyphonic instruments emerged from the source textures.

Box 4. Dementia Labs optical theremin:
A DIY circuit bent one-off custom theremin, this one features an elaborate unlabeled patchbay, a bunch of unlabeled knobs, and a light sensor as a modulator.
This box yielded tons of static and crunchy textures, as well as some very retro sounding musical pads.
The Kontakt patches turned into a pile of far out synths, analog crackles, and fuzzy goodness.

Note: Can be used without Kontakt too! All Kontakt instrument libraries include fully unlocked and accessible metadata tagged .wav files. You don't need any version of Kontakt to use these files as a standalone sample library.

Mechanical Sound Effects Antique Cash Registers Play Track ~420 sounds included, 102 mins total $48

Clunky mechanical sounds from a collection of antique cash registers from the early 1900s + a bonus Kontakt MIDI instrument.

Grab our Old Cash Registers Bundle here and get this and an electric cash registers from the 1970s at a discounted price

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 library comes with a Kontakt instrument (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.

The Antique Cash Registers library includes:

– Chunky rolling lever pulls in various durations
– The classic Ka-ching! sound from from turning the crank
– Performed continous mechanical sounds, perfect for machinery or creatures
– Opening and closing the wooden drawers – with and without money
– Foley and impacts from handling the registers
– Clicky mechaincal sounds from turning the cranks and smaller knobs inside the registers
– Several microphones from different perspectives as well as a punchy ready-to-use detailed mixes of all the microphones
– A Kontakt Instruments 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

We asked Katrine Amsler (Wolfenstein 2, Control) to play around with the library, and she came up with this beautiful haunting piece:

Other Instruments Burroughs Protectograph Play Track 100+ sounds included $24

The Burroughs Protectograph that we acquired was manufactured around the turn of the 20th century and had a single unique function – to stamp and emboss checks for banks. The Burroughs corporation has been around since 1886, and was an early force in the adding machine, check stamper and typewriter industries. This Protectograph version had an electric mechanism that would move large printheads down through a ribbon and would stamp a check hard and repeatedly for as long as the print key was held down. Our machine was acquired in perfect working condition.

Its keys have a short through but a satisfying clack, and the punch mechanism is a huge whir stamp sound than can cycle if the punch button is held down. We rolled with the case both on and off, which revealed very different sounds from the main electric mechanisms.

We ran the whole session with three perspectives miked up – front by the keys, in the back by the punch and a wide perspective perfect for bgfx placement. The front and back mics were Schoeps CMC6.MK4 and the wide mic was an AT 4050 in omni about 5 feet away. Listen to the straight examples give a clear accounting of the type of sounds we got from this machine, and the bent examples show what can really be done with those sounds and the Kontakt instrument.

Key features for Burroughs Protectograph
• 3 mic perspectives of each performance
• 10 unique articulation groups
• 10 + performances per articulation
• 13 Kontakt .nki files (unlocked)
• .nki files require full version of NI Kontakt 4 or higher
• photographs and video stills

Note: Can be used without Kontakt too! All Kontakt instrument libraries include fully unlocked and accessible metadata tagged .wav files. You don't need any version of Kontakt to use these files as a standalone sample library.

Mechanical Sound Effects Remington Rand Adding Machine Play Track 100+ sounds included $24

Remington Rand is an early American typewriter and adding machine manufacturer formed in 1927. The last Remington Rand branded business machine rolled off the line in 1958. The adding machine that we acquired was an electric version in good working condition. Remington Rand also manufactured things like shavers, pistols and calculators.

Our adding machine has a big electronic mechanism for the summing function and nice heavy clacks for the regular keys. It also had some very sticky metal plates that would occasionally get stuck and then pop loose with a big resonant ringing sound. This specific defect made an incredibly interesting sound that is very unique to this specific machine’s wear and tear.

As with the Burroughs Protectograph we miked it with three different mono perspectives to produce three very different sounds on each move. We used Schoeps CMC6/MK4 mics on the front and back and an AT4050 for the wide perspective in mono. The close perspectives are great for big thick clicks and mechanisms, and the wide is excellent for use in one offs for bgfx tracks.

Key features for Remington Rand Adding Machine
• 3 mic perspectives of each performance
• 9 unique articulation groups
• 10 + performances per articulation
• 11 Kontakt .nki files (unlocked)
• .nki files require full version of NI Kontakt 4 or higher
• photographs and video stills

Note: Can be used without Kontakt too! All Kontakt instrument libraries include fully unlocked and accessible metadata tagged .wav files. You don't need any version of Kontakt to use these files as a standalone sample library.

Playable sound effects libraries

Playable and performable sound effects libraries are a fantastic tool for bringing the soundscape of your project to life with varied sounds, while making it easy for you to sync up with on-screen events. They're particularly suited for Foley type performances such as footsteps, but can also be used to perform other sonic elements like movement, clothing and more. The playable sound effects libraries come with either their own UI or as instruments for players such as Kontakt. In addition to the obvious sound design advantages of these playable sound libraries, they can also be used for musical projects, theater / live events and similar where performable sound effects are desired.

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!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Zdravko Djordjevic

founder of The Audio Spotlight

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.
