Meet the PHASEFREAK

Tapsa Kuusniemi the man behind Man Makes Noise loves odd little things that make sound. And Arturia’s MicroFreak is just that kind of a thing. It’s a mightly little beast with a huge sound.

Tapsa loves things you can mess around, rearrange and scramble anyway you want. This is why Tapsa loves Kilohearts’ Phase Plant. Naturally, he had to pair those two up. The included 100 cinematic patches for Kilohearts’ Phase Plant synth and takes up 195 MB of hard drive space.

Tapsa recorded sounds from the MicroFreak and tweaked, turned, and generally messed with them inside Phase Plant. The result is a cinematic synth set that has a futuristic sci-fi sound. The range is from squeaky clean and ethereal to dirty and gritty as heck.

The Bottle by Man Makes Noise

Man Makes Noise released a new Kontakt-based library – The Bottle. Tapsa a sound designer running Man Makes Noise One started with this library when his wife decided she wanted a fancy drinking bottle. A fancy metallic drinking bottle. Of course, it needed to be sampled by Tapsa. The Bottle was hit with rubber and felt mallets. Tapsa recorded three variants of it: one with the bottle being completely empty, one with it filled halfway with water, and one with the bottle full of water.

These samples we processed to bring you 8 mallet instruments, 4 sound-designed instruments, and 4 sound-designed pads. These range from clean and beautiful mallets to dark and dissonant atmospherics. The Bottle has a cinematic, atmospheric vibe to it.

Pricing and Availability

The Bottle retails for 15€ (excluding VAT where applicable) with an introductory offer of 10€ until the 24th of May 2021.
