“Honour thy error as a hidden intention.”
Oblique Strategies, Brian Eno/Peter Schmidt
In that spirit, we’ve created a library solely from errors. Some of them completely accidental, some where we just looked the other way whilst the accident happened. But all of them stem from a willful ignorance of instruction manuals and correct operating procedures.
Home movie soundtracks mangled with the wrong converters, musical toys tortured into revealing hidden sonic secrets and computer hard drives dying noisily, all of the sounds in this library started out life as errors.
Some of them have been further treated with a mixture of carefully applied computer processing and traditional studio techniques, some left as nature (never) intended.
Available in Kontakt, Reason Refill or .wav / REX2 formats. All formats are supplied at 24 bit / 48khz.

Very cool package; right up my alley. Unfortunately I don’t use Reason, so I look forward to the Kontakt version. Also, would it be possible to list a US dollar cost in addition to the UK currency?
Hi Steve, I’m glad you like the library. The Kontakt version should be out in the next couple of weeks. You can keep up to date with us at twitter.com/tonemanufacture, or if you’d like I can e-mail you when it’s released. As for listing prices in different currencies, our ecommerce system requires us to use a single currency and as we’re UK based it really has to be GBP. We’ll look into listing different currencies, but at the moment we’d have to update it manually. However, PayPal will automatically convert into USD for you and having just checked their conversion rates £19.99 comes out at $29.58. Thank you for your interest.
