_the accountant SSS133



    _the accountant makes early and mid 20th century accounting machines playable in Ableton Live 12, with 177 samples + 2 custom Drum Racks. It’s 100% mechanical for when you’re feeling mathematical.  It’s money for sound design, or whatever type beat you’re making paper with.


    Using an adding machine from 1923, and a cheque stamper from 1953, we meticulously sampled every button, lever, tear, ding, dong, 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 machines gave a very hyper-real sort of sound, while microphones overhead and around the machines brought out a more balanced aural overview. 


    Having a sound designer like, Paul Boechler helping setup, perform, and record these sounds with us, was key in capturing what we have in this release. This sample pack is a perfect companion to our previous release, _the typist.


    There are 177 samples in total, including:


    • Buttons

    • Paper Feeder

    • Paper Guides

    • Levers

    • Sliders

    • Paper Stamps

    • Combinations


    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 bookkeeper right away. 


    There are 2 different Ableton Drum Racks:


    • Adding Machine
