Riffle
Something out of your worst nightmares

The story
Hidden in the depths of the ‘OnOffScrape’ samples that I submitted previously, were some sounds that were reminiscent of riffling through a pack of cards. A nice pleasant sound, that evokes after-dinner cards, a roaring fire, convivial atmosphere and all that.
Unfortunately, that isn’t how this project turned out. Something very, very nasty got into my Decent Sampler, and what I ended up with was something out of your worst nightmares, or a monster from a sci-fi film, or deepest darkest anime. RiffleOne is my first attempt at peeking out from behind the settee with a ‘Sound Effects’ instrument. You play these sounds in a darkened room at your own risk!
Volume 1 is percussive. Volume 2 is slower. Volume 3 is slowest and darkest. Mix to taste. It goes without saying that reverb is de rigeur for this type of sound, but I’m betting that someone will try using them dry and close up in binaural with with a dummy head!
Reviews
Spooky and scary interesting sound
Very scary set of sounds! The lower you go, the spookier it gets. I think this can be used for cinematic tracks.
Spooky Creativity
Love the ideas this could spark and I cant wait to sneak it into a song!
Awesome Soundscapes
This is a really awesome instrument for dark ambient or horror soundscapes. I could see them going really well with sad ambient guitar music or in any horror context. The sound is really interesting and evolving and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I think you can get alot of use out of this and the GUI offers a decent amount of control
