From the ashes of a Wurlitzer baby grand piano, we bring you a unique sample library for media sound design. Perfect for suspense and horror in films and games. Surprisingly good at emulating distant artillery hits and other destruction. Crunches. Bangs. Metal scrapes. Wood shattered. Strings scraped with saws and performed with sledgehammers…Â not felt.
119 stereo one-shots of the acoustic dismantling. 77 crafted soundscapes and designed effects crafted from processing the original sounds. And… a playable Kontakt patch of unusual and slightly out of tune string plucks with multiple round robins for natural variation (delivered at 48kHz for memory optimization). All recorded in stereo using Schoeps microphones arranged in mid-side stereo technique. Edited and tagged with UCS metadata for fast and clear search results.
Kontakt 6.8.0 or higher is required. NOTE: This library does not run in the free ‘Kontakt Player’
Dig into the eerie depths of Noise Box. Sampled from the enigmatic ‘Moonlight’ made by Tetsuo Noise Box. This library offers 354 samples. Every part of the noise box is sampled as a one shot and useful for designing with metal hit and scrape sounds. Perfect starter material for crafting suspense, horror, and sci-fi atmospheres.
To get you started… We include 61 designed textures as ready to use samples. These processed designed sounds highlight the creative potential of the raw one shots. Also, we include four Kontakt presets for quick access to the samples and inspire performance, emulating the experience of playing our noise box.
Useful for sound design and creative cinematic scoring!

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’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.
