I write weekly blogs about my sound design work and whatever comes to mind related to music and sound design. I also post reviews, tips and tutorials. I hope you enjoy!

2012 and retrospective
Hello all, and let me start by wishing you all a happy holidays and best wishes for 2012. A little blurp about my upcoming projects and some reflections about this past year. This year was a busy one! Focus was on synthesis and SFX & sampling for my upcoming Audiomotif projects (more on that later). I’ve yet again worked so many great people, truly inspiring!. Music also took a more important role, after being in the background for some time. 2012: Sample libs, VST’s and Music Oskilator (my collab with Bart Knol) will be...

I did some more SFX work for our friends over at Juicy Beast . A sound logo that will be used before the game starts and all the new SFX for Juicy Beast new game, the sequel; Burrito Bison 2. Audiomotif also did the SFX for part 1. Make sure to keep an eye on their homepage or facebook for the launch of the game (I-phone + Flash, so i guess android too ) Sound...

read moreMore free VST GUI knobs – Freebie Pack Vol 2
Wrapping up and archiving all the GUI design related files I decided to add a last batch of knobman files on the website. First credits where credits are due; Theordor Kreuger shared some inspiring knobs utilizing various aspects of knobmaker like animated value displays and an animated glowing index ring. And KVR’s Knobman/Skinman thread. The knobs are loosely based on the design by U-he (Uhbik). Kind of reminiscent of a vault dial. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy! (Freely usable, do not distribute or sell as is) Download...
read moreFree VST UI knobs and sliders for knobman (& Targa)
Time for knobs! free ones as a matter of fact. They can be used in VST’s, or programs that let you script your own interface (Max MSP, Reaktor etc). In the free zip you’ll find different sizes of knobs and and a slider. The formats are Targa and knobmans .knob files. Knobman is a nice free, and easy to use program designed for making stitched images and comes with all the right tools to make a semi realistic knob. There are excellent knobs by a japanese Knobman user called AZ (Moog to 303 style knobs). The knobs I made are a...
read moreFreeBee – A free Kontakt instrument (3d flying insect simulation)
Since I have been working on a set of Kontakt instruments for Audiomotif I became more and more interrested in Kontakt as a sound design tool. While mainly engineered towards the chromatic instrument simulations – Kontakts built in effects and scripting language allows you to create very effective sound design tools. Besides sound design tools designed for post production there is also a new line of synth’s and drum instruments coming out next month. (Audiomotif – Electro Tech Vol 01) What else but a bee would be our...

Some of you might have been in the loop already; I am working on a new sample pack for Audiomotif. It’s nearing completion and there’s some graphic stuff for you all to have a look at. Make sure to subcribe to mailing list if you want to stay up to date about any new products! Detail below; There will be a couple of Kontakt drum kit’s with articulation options (flames, rushes, note release etc). The synthesizer sounds all have a LP filter and Resonance control. I have also made some Live triggering patches in Kontakt and...
read moreFree Kick Maker (VST)
While working on a sample pack (Electro Tech Vol.01) I have been synthesizing my ass off. Doing kicks and snares with a hybrid of acoustic and sytnhetic sources I eneded up downloading this plugin created by Teragon Audio. A nice company that also has some tut’s about creating your own VST host. The plugin is simpel and effective. There are 4 OSC’s and a general ADSR. No filtering or shaping tools besides the modulations so a acoustic sample is needed to give it some much needed presence in the higher...
read moreHarmor in Alpha, looks promising.
There’s a really interresting sampler/synth coming our way from the folks at Image Line. You got to hand it to them; creating very unique and solid software for a unbeatable price, incl lifetime free updates. And no, I am not endorsed by IL This synth will most likely not be for sale via the “pay what you think its worth” system though. Anyway, enjoy this video playlist demonstrating the synth in...
read moreRazor is out – freebies coming [Update]
There are some freebies coming up for Razor, the new additive synth by Native Instruments. And not just for the people with Razor. I’ll be sharing some presets (or snapshots as they are called in Reaktor) and I will be making a loop pack. featuring one shots and loops of FX, bass and drums. Additive synthesis is great for modelling crazy synthetic sounding drums to semi realistic instruments. Since the player version of Razor does not handle snapshots, I figured I’d please everyone and record some loops. If people want to...
