    _the typist SSS132



      _the typist makes an early 20th century typewriter playable in Ableton Live 12, with 293 samples + 4 custom Drum Racks. Marvellously mechanical for sound design, or whatever type beat you’re writing.


      Using a classic Underwood typewriter from around 1920, we meticulously sampled every key, lever, ribbon, bell, carriage, latch, guide, and paper feed sound we could. Capturing the intricate sounds with an array of different stereo microphone setups was the plan. Placing tiny spot microphones into the typewriter itself gave a very hyper-real sort of sound, while microphones overhead and around the machine brought out a more balanced aural overview. 


      Having sound designer, Paul Boechler helping setup, perform, and record these sounds with us, was key in capturing what we have in this release. Absolutely nobody asked for a playable typewriter in Ableton Live, but here it is.


      There are 293 samples in total, including:


      • Carriage Movements

      • Bell Sounds

      • QWERTY Key Strikes (Finger On & Off)

      • Special Key Strikes

      • Margin Guides

      • Paper Feeds

      • Ink Ribbon Feeds

      • Switches, Latches, & Handling

      • Random Typing Performance Loops


      These WAV samples can be used in any software or hardware you like, or you can use the included Ableton 12.2+ Drum Racks to starting playing like a novelist right away. 


      There are 4 different Ableton Drum Racks:

      • Keys

        • Use to play the standard and special keys like you would a percussive instrument.

      • Carriage & Bell Sequences

        • Use to trigger longer textures, rhythms, and sequences.

      • Actions

        • Use to play the typewriter paper, ribbon, and other actions, or general handling sounds, switches, and latches.

      • Typing Sequences

        • Use to trigger and chain up longer random typing sequences.



      The Controls

      level

      • controls the overall volume of the instrument

      scoop

      size

      • creates a larger stereo image

      At the typewriter you find out who you are.

      _vinyl records SSS131



        _vinyl records brings turntable textures to life with over 700 one-shots and loops. Phonograph, gramophone, wax, disc, platter, or licorice pizza - it’s all on the record in this sample pack.


        We became archivists of texture and surface noises throughout the decades with this mega sample pack of vinyl and record player noises. We wanted everything in one definitive pack. Real records, recorded at 96kHz - check. Turntable idiosyncrasies, noises, and accidents - check.


        So, what exactly did we sample, and what are these “effects” we speak of? 


        • 3 types of extended blank vinyl surface loops at 33rpm, 45rpm, and 78rpm.

        • 150 unique needle drops / record starts.

        • 32 unique record end of side loops.

        • 59 unique needle lifts.

        • 253 unique record stops.

        • 87 unique needle scratches.

        • 25 unique accidental headshell drops.

        • 5 platter motor cuts (surface texture slowdowns)

        • 21 unique accidental fingers on needle.

        • 59 unique turntable platter thumps.

        • 1 extended turntable ground hum loop.


        We used vinyl from the 1950s to the 2020s, from virgin vinyl , to pristine LPs, to the nastiest, old, beaten up records that you don’t want your needles even touching! Sacrifices were made, and many B-Sides were lost. The 96kHz samples are more sonically durable when time stretching and mangling during the production process.


        We wanted anyone to be able to recreate a vinyl experience, and have it sound authentic, but we also wanted bits and pieces to have fun and experiment with as drums, percussion, and textural effects. Throw these samples into your favourite drum rack, sampler or timeline, and live the rotating etched polyvinyl chloride disc dream.


        All that scratching is making me itch.
