Tim’s Face
4 octaves of tuned percussive face slapping noises with a variety of on-board effects
ByTim Steemson
The story
Recently I was working on a project that needed a quirky percussive sound, so I decided to use some face slaps – that sound you get when you make your mouth into an O shape and hit the side of your jaw. After recording them it made sense to make them into a Kontakt instrument, so I’ve organised the samples and added in a few extra effects to play around with. So now you can slap my face from wherever you are in the world. Have fun!
Recorded with a single AKG 414.
No Tims were harmed in the making of this instrument.

The one we didn't want, but the one we needed
This is an example of how to take a very simple, fun idea, and turn it into the perfect instrument. Because everything about it is perfect, I love it! It's sampled very well and it also features an amazing GUI design with 8 different options for you to play around.
Tons of fun, super recommended!
This is surprisingly goooood
The bounce and roll add some pretty neat delays! This one has quite a few options to uniquely shape the character of the .. face slap :)
The UI is setup really well which allows for fast and intuitive exploration when trying to finding the right percussive sound. I stumbled on a really nice punchy synth-like bop in no time.
This is awesome. thanks for sharing :)
