A music box processed through guitar pedals, outboard effects and plugins............

The story

Awarded “GUI of the week” by none other than Christian Henson himself! 🙂

Inspired by all the creative people here on Pianobook, I set out to make the most out of some samples of a small music box I had lying around. I captured the music box with two condenser mics in an XY-configuration through my Apollo x6. I then started to run these samples through guitar pedals, outboard effects and plugins to create unique textures. The result is 9 layers of sounds that you can combine freely to create your own version of my music box.

Have fun, and be sure to let me know if you use it in some of your compositions!

All the best,

  • Whoa! The ultimate music box on PB!

    Everything about this library is incredible. It starts with an immaculately sampled music box, but what really takes it tot he next level is the amazing GUI which offers not only chorus, delay, and reverb, but also gives the user access to the sample processed through various pedals and other external gear. This library is simply awesome!

  • Come grab your free music box!

    Even though the samples have a teeeeeny tiiiiiiiiiny little bit of noise in them, I can't help to give it a perfect score. The attention to detail, the features, the sounds, and the entire execution are top notch. It's really, realy hard to believe that this is for free. To the top!

  • Bursting With Character

    This music box sounds so great. to my ears it sounds really deeply sampled and it has lot of mechanical noises from the instrument which give it so much character. The GUI is amazing not only in looks but functionality as well. You get many processing options as well as pedalboard options which is such an awesome idea and implementation. There are a bunch of different layers to combine here. You could make a whole really interesting soundscape just using this instrument . Awesome job on this.
