DiSCOVER | 20 JANUARY 2016 | 272 MB

The Music Box is a sample library for Kontakt and EXS24. Also included in the library are wind up/wind down/crank/scrape sounds. The library has at least 6 velocity layers on each instrument (some with over 40!) with over 750 samples. The Music Box is an intuitive instrument that is sure to stimulate creative ideas. It is capable of childlike nursery rhymes, eerie melodies, enchanting passages and much more. The Kontakt version of The Music Box not only contains the basic instrument patch but also 10 highly useful factory patches derived from our samples. These patches range from pads and electric piano-like sounds to extra terrestrial sound fx Recently updated to V2 with Random Round Robin Scripting.

The Music Box is a 19th century automatic musical instrument that produces sounds by the use of a set of pins placed on a revolving cylinder or disc so as to pluck the tuned teeth of a steel comb. They were developed from musical snuff boxes of the 18th century and called carillons à musique. Some of the more complex boxes also have a tiny drum and small bells, in addition to the metal comb. Note that the tone of a musical box is unlike that of any musical instrument (although it is best described as somewhere between the timbres of an mbira).

A small hand-crank music box, with each pitch sampled and spread across the full keyboard for maximum playability. The music box was recorded sitting on an open snare drum, giving more body through the resonance of the drum.
The Patch: Full range -The music box is spread across multiple octaves, giving extreme bass and high key options. Low/High Balance – The original 96k samples were pitched down to create a lower octave set of tones for a clear low end option. You can control the balance between low and high tones with the user interface. Mod Wheel for octave blend – Use the mod wheel to select the high, low, or both octaves. Allows for quick changes of timbre. The balance knobs further shape the sound when using both octaves. Pure/Rough Balance – an included convolution impulse response (preloaded in the patch) gives an option for a sharper edge to the tone. Great for darker uses or tension, and easily adjustable from the user interface. For a pure sound, just keep Pure at 100%

Speldosa v1.0.3 WiN

BUBBiX | 15 December 2024 | 10 MB

Speldosa (Swedish for “Music Box”) is the essence of the shared beliefs, and their fascination with minimalism. A simple melody played on a music box can contain an equal amount of emotional power as any symphonic work. There is something about the music box sound that never ceases to fascinate. The instrument itself has been meticulously recorded by Wintergatan and transformed into a playable digital instrument plugin. It features four different models (Modern, Vintage, Antique, and Eternal = Reversed), two different Room models, and an algorithmic reverb. Box went on to become the sonic signature for my two bands, Detektivbyrån and Wintergatan, both recognised for their unique sound. The Speldosa has been the secret sauce in my music career and i hope other musicians finds it as useful as i have.

Tiny Music Box KONTAKT

The Tiny Music Box is equally powerful at creating delicate, twinkling melodies as it is at producing dark, creepy ambiances, thanks to the unique ‘age’ parameter. The ‘age’ function adds some subtle (or not so subtle) detuning, as well as processing the sound to create a darker timbre, perfect for horror scores. The built-in ‘atmosphere’ layer adds a dreamy sustain to the music box. Not quite a reverb, not quite a pad – this layer was created with manipulated music box recordings, and blends perfectly with the dry samples to create lush, otherworldly tails. The volume and stereo width of the ‘atmosphere’ layer can be adjusted to your taste.

Long before the Rhodes piano made tines rock’n’roll, little resonating metal bars were called lamellae and were to be found lurking below the ornately-carved exteriors of Victorian musical boxes. Some of these clockwork devices were extraordinarily intricate, involving moving figures that twirled, danced, made gestures or appeared to speak before retiring into concealment. Larger mechanisms might have removable and replaceable drums, allowing you to play different tunes (possibly the earliest example of the hot-swappable storage drive?!). All of them were more or less crude attempts to bring the music of the symphony or chamber orchestra home to the individual consumer, to be set going whenever you might wish (so, possibly the precursor of the iPod, too…) Music Box celebrates this decidedly clockwork heritage but – of course – welds in some more contemporary strangeness along the way. At its core, Music Box is sampled from a 3-octave professional musical mechanism which runs its tunes from punched paper rolls, like a player piano, instead of a drum. This lets the user create whatever tune they wish, with a little paper punch. (We opted for a 3-octave scale – not very exciting, but good for sampling!) To record this, we clamped it to the soundboard of our Takamine acoustic guitar, tuned the open strings in unison, and put a capo on the neck in tune with whichever note we were sampling – so the guitar body adds a hefty dose of musically-relevant resonance to the initial pluck of the lamellae.
