Computer Noises

Hard disks, Floppy drives, CPU fans and more

Computer Noises is based on a wide palette of noises that computers emit when booting, reading from their CD-ROM drives or accessing a hard disk.





The library features several complete boot sequences of 10 different laptop and desktop computers ranging from an old ATARI PC-2, going over to Pentium I and III, Celerons and CoreDuo machines.
Each booting sequence was recorded from different positions within the computer casings.
So each computer features its own hard disks, power- and CPU fans plus all those other strange noises that occured.

The stems come as stereo files but due to the fact that a computer doesn´t show up as an ideal "A-B" , "X-Y" , "ORTF" or whatever stereo compatible sound source some of the stems should be seen as dual-mono files.
This doubles the amount of editing and processing possibilities.

As bonus 25 extra sounds from external hard disks and blowers of all kind are included in this library.

Gra.FX2 Live Pack for Ableton Live 8/9



Detunized releases “Gra.FX2” Live Pack - Idiographic Sound Sculptures

Gra.FX2 is the second installment of a series of graphic generated sounds.
This Live Pack delivers a surprising toolbox of 63 instruments for the creation of otherworldly, dissonant textures and drones. The sample pool of the instruments was created by parsing more than 100 bitmaps by a variety of specialized software tools.
Although Gra.FX2 covers an extensive range from SciFi-melodies to LoFi dust-noise patterns each single instrument follows an unified macro control layout. This allows for fast and intuitive interaction with external controllers like Push.




Detunized has finished testing all previous releases with the forthcomming Live 9
The final release of LIVE 9 will host all Detunized Live Packs without any restrictions.
Release numbers DTS001 to DTS046 were installed and tested successfully.
Throughout the entire testing routines no drawbacks had been detected.

Polite 800



„Polite 800“ introduces another famous eighties synthesizer: the Korg Poly 800, a classic hybrid synth that is equipped with digital controlled oscillators and a 24dB analog filter.

The Library contains 35 instruments which perfectly capture the spirit of this battery driven unit.
Both, the Live Pack and the Refill introduce a standardized control layout which is easy to familiarize with.
Nevertheless all controls and switches of the Live Racks and Refill Combinators are multi-connected to more than 20 parameters per instrument. So hot-swapping through the included Basses, Keys, Pads, Brasses and FX sounds is easy but invites for spontaneous in-depth tweaking at the same time.

Detunized Laid Back Piano

The Detunized Laid Back Piano is now available in the Propellerhead Pro Shop




For this ReFill, every single string was recorded separately from a number of different microphone positions. Three of the included Combinators represent carefully tuned piano presets (Piano, Piano Distance, Tiny Piano).
For another set of combinators, a lot of prepared piano techniques were applied, like the sound of the strings with printer paper clamped in-between, attached plastic tools, pillow-damped plucking, and more. 

Additionally six Combinators with untuned one-shots and atonal loops are included in the Refill. These sounds were achieved by methods such as throwing a variety of items into the piano housing, stroking a thumb´s nail along the lower strings, and more. Furthermore, each person that came along during the 3-day recording session was invited to strike and knock on the piano body in order to end up with a collection of suspenseful "Percussion" sounds.
