sound art

sound art free loop-sample-pack by Stone Voices

sound art is a free sample pack by Stone Voices. Avalaible audio files format(s): .wav, .wav 16b, .wav 24b.

Do you want to talk with dolphins, trees, stones, or even representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations? With those who do not understand the human language. But we can not tell about ourselves in words. And waves, vibrations, sound. With the help of Sound Art, you can convert almost any image into a sound portrait. Including your own. And these sounds will tell more about us than any words.

Sound Art — a free program for visualizing sound and sound images. It is designed to convert images into sound and vice versa. Interpretations occur in accordance with the formulas of Fourier transforms and have mathematical precision! With the help of the program you can get very unusual sound textures, trying to convert various types of images, and making inverse transformations. It is very easy to work with the program, using simple actions from the sound you get a kind of picture, a sonogram. You can do anything with sonograms. For example, print and frame the wall. Or, after processing the image in any image editor, convert it back into sound and enjoy the new sound of the original material. Sound Art is designed for computer musicians, sound designers, specialists in the field of visual creativity. And all those who are interested in musical experiments.

Soprano Jug Drum

Soprano Jug Drum free soundbank by Embertone

Soprano Jug Drum virtual instrument is a free percussions and water jug sound bank for Kontakt, by Embertone.

What happens when you lock two sound designers in a space with 5 water jugs, 5 microphones, a laptop and an audio interface? Pure #$!@ing magic, that’s what! With oodles of round robins, 4 different playing styles, and a dynamic range equipped to shake things up, you’re going to love this instrument… It’s a new angle on the concept of “epic drumming”

The 4 playing styles are mapped out equally over 4 octaves. From highest to lowest they are: 1) Hand (muted) 2) Hand (ring out) 3) Timpani Mallet 4) Stick. This instrument is sooo much fun, we suggest trying it out with an arpeggiator!

The FREE version of Jug Drums is just the highest drum, the soprano, with full velocity/round robins, but without mic position mixing control. It’s a LOT of fun to play with!

SOOG

SOOG free soundbank by Icebreaker Audio

SOOG virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Reaktor, by Icebreaker Audio.

S.O.O.G. (Sub Octave Oscillator Generator) is an analogue style octaver effect for Reaktor 5.8+.

The effect produces a fuzzy version of the input signal, by generating a modulated square wave one octave below the tracked pitch. This fuzzy octave can then be filtered to smooth out the tone, or to create synth style sounds.

The effect works best on monophonic instruments with strong fundamental frequencies like bass guitars or clear vocals.

  • Snapshots-per-second control that can be changed on the fly, to increase or decrease the time resolution.
  • At any time you can change the zoom ratio, without loosing frequency details for the signals which have already passed by.
  • The zoomed screen can be scrolled while analyzing, to easily locate the frequency range of interest.
  • Pause the visualization with the “freeze” control.
  • Both in frozen or running mode, every time you click or drag within the sonogram area, frequency and amplitude rulers highlight the values corresponding to that point.
  • Every palette can be shifted by simply dragging the dB ruler, to better contrast the right amplitude ranges.
  • A mark button is provided to highlight interesting parts of the waveform for subsequent individuation.
  • Every parameter supports host automation.
