Precisionsound Sonic Laboratory [WAV, Synth Presets]

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.

If you are an audio designer for movies or games, Sonic Laboratory complements traditional Foley collections by providing production-ready sounds that add instant drama and interest. For composers working in genres such as IDM and ambient, Sonic Laboratory brings moments of contrast and depth when layered with musical content. Users of sample-based synthesisers can also load the sounds as oscillators for further mangling and exploration.

The total size of Sonic Laboratory is 1.28Gb. The audio files are sorted into 9 folders by category, and each file has a unique descriptive name.
The files in Sonic Laboratory are intended primarily to be placed directly on the timeline of a sequencer.
The included sampler programs are for easy auditioning of sounds, with one program for each category of sounds (two in the case of the largest category).
The programs for Kontakt 3 and 4 display the name of the played file on the GUI when you press a key.

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
