Toys is a Kontakt instrument bundle from Have Audio containing three instruments built from sampled music boxes, wind-up toys and other found sounds. It is aimed at composers who want dark, cinematic textures for horror and edgy productions.
Toys is a sample bundle from Have Audio made for film composers and producers who work with dark, unsettling material. The library draws on recordings of music boxes, wind-up toys, vintage robots, springs, balls, cat and water toys, then processes them into textures that range from sinister to playful. The bundle is organized into three separate Kontakt instruments, so you can load only the character you need into a session.
The sounds start from original recordings of toys and found objects. Have Audio processed this material through modular synthesizers and vintage tape machines, adding noise and grit suited to ghostly and horror scores.
The bundle is split into three instruments: Toys Acoustic, Toys Electronic and Toys Dystopian. Acoustic keeps closer to the recorded toy sounds, Electronic leans toward synthesized processing, and Dystopian offers a darker, more abstract palette.
Each instrument includes one-shots, textures and music box material, selected through keyswitches. The library also includes built-in effects: an infinite delay, a low-end drone impulse response effect, granular and reverse convolution reverbs, a filter and vintage tape noise.
The bundle totals over 650MB uncompressed across 385 samples in three .nki files.
