Sonic Laboratory

Sonic Laboratory is an imaginative toolkit of 500 sound effects, from brutal hits to evolving soundscapes,

atonal clusters to retro electronica. Audio designer Iain Morland took some of the strangest plucks,

scrapes, thumps and noises from Precisionsound’s huge library of sampled acoustic instruments, then

subjected them to bizarre processing to create evocative textures and effects that you won’t hear

anywhere else.

Sonic Laboratory contains:

• 500 stereo 44.1khz 24-bit WAV files

• 10 programs for all versions of Steinberg HALion

• 10 programs for NI Kontakt 1 and 2

• 10 programs with scripted GUI for NI Kontakt 3 and 4

How Sonic Laboratory is organised Sonic Laboratory is structured so that it is easy to find the kind of sound you want. The files are sorted into 9 folders by category, and each file has a unique descriptive name to indicate its character. The Sonic Laboratory files are intended primarily to be placed on the audio timeline of your music sequencer or video editor, rather than played with a sampler. Files are normalised to -0.5db, with no limiting applied.

Sonic Laboratory for NI Kontakt 3 & 4 The files in NI Kontakt 3 and 4 format require the full version of NI Kontakt 3 or 4 and do not work fully with the free Kontakt player! The programs for Kontakt 3 and 4 display the name of the played file on the GUI when you press a key. This makes it easy to find a file you like after auditioning the sounds in Kontakt.
