Sound Sources and Character

The library mixes musical instruments such as taishogoto, vibraphone and upright bass with everyday textures like velcro, glass bottles and mechanical ratchets. The samples cover household foley, mechanical and electrical items, tuned foley, textures and noises, acoustic drums and percussion, instrument one-shots, and rhythmic and melodic loops.

Eight sample banks are organized into categories, and each bank's sounds can be dragged onto any of the 14 white keys. The developer says the sounds were recorded by professional foley artists and sound designers.

Sample edit tools include start and end markers, playback direction, choke groups, pitch, fine tuning, formant and pitch warp controls.

Sequencer, Effects and Workflow

Black keys alter playback speed and pitch, and trigger sequences and effect modulation. The sequencer supports sample mode for triggering sequences, with step rate, sync, swing, probability and velocity controls.

The effects section has three rearrangeable modules: Noise with 15 noise types, Reverb with Plate, Hall and Spring modes, and Speaker for simulating amps and monitors. Four macros (Smooth, Echo, Tape and Width) control the effect chain.

Samples are synced to the host BPM, so loops and one-shots stay in time with your project.
