An impulse response, made with vital softsynth, simulating the responce of a bunch of strings tuned to notes of bohlen—pierce scale. Specifically, a middle ground between 13 equal divisions of a tritave (interval 3/1) and the just-intonation bohlen—pierce scale. (for no particular reason. ). Convolving with this might add some xen flavor to your sounds, even if you play in standard tuning 12edo. I tried it with surge xt’s hammered dulcimer patch (i love hammered dulcimer!) and heard some additional shimmering.

0 7 10 was judged most consonant by the untrained subjects. Title refers to number of semitones (unison=0).

Before the break: some deliberate permutations of parameters while lfos scan sample phases. After the break: randomized value changes.

Three regular beeps of a smoke alarm, followed by one final slowly dying beep. Warning, this is super loud and ear-piercing compared to other sounds, turn your volume waaay down before testing out this sound.

Harmonic Chord 3:5:7:9. Traditional notation: G E B♭ D. Title refers to harmonics (fundamental=1:3:9:etc.).

Title Happy Birthday Card Artist natalie Original mp3 data Length:0:08 minutes (195.14 KB) Format:MP3 Stereo 44kHz 192Kbps (CBR) User tags Happy Birthday, piercing, shrill Type Tone / Tune PDSounds record number 235 Comment A melodic Happy Birthday Card. Unfortunatly recorded in public so a lot of people noise / walla in the background.

A cataclystic, "buildup" sound effect resulted from extreme manipulation from two digital audio workstations - fl11 and reaper. The base sample was a public domain sound of a roland d50-esque sounding element which was heavily edited using volume-scaled automation, reverberation, pitch-shifting, transpositioning and trimming audio.

Sounds of a ceramic coffee cup being hit with a steel spoon, single hits and repetitive fast hits for imitating a bell of sorts. Caution: may get noisy and ear-piercing ;). I recorded this for my own sound design purposes (game sfx) and thought i would share it with anyone who may find it useful - if you do, please help yourself and enjoy!.

A near chaotic experiment. Im mixing cycling envelopes and lfos to generate triggers. The four sounds are totally unrelated. > bass drum. > snare (or something. . . )> bass. The pitches for the bass are generated withthree mixed lfos. A trigger is generated from the quantizerwhen the cv changed enough to generate a new note inthe selected scale. > ear piercing and annoying sound. Three minutes of more than enough.

5 7 9 chord on E, eight steps in the octave. Other non-octave tunings investigated by Bohlen besides the Bohlen-Pierce scale include eight steps in the octave, based on 5:7:9 and of which only the just version would be used. Traditional notation: E B♭ D.

A12 4 7 10 on C. Traditional notation: C B♭ E. MIDI pitch bend matches intervals. Other non-octave tunings investigated by Bohlen besides the Bohlen-Pierce scale include twelve steps in the tritave, named A12 by Enrique Moreno [1] and based on the 4:7:10 chord.

Sounds of a wine glass being hit with a steel spoon and wooden stick, single hits and repetitive fast hits for imitating a bell of sorts. Going into nice overtones in the second part. Caution: may get noisy and ear-piercing ;).
