Another deep dive into the Noisia vault.

The third volume in the Noisia Sample Pack series continues the legacy of one of bass music’s most influential acts. Inside, you’ll find even more unreleased sounds pulled directly from over two decades from their archive. Now, they’re yours to explore, dissect, and transform.

Expect a wide array of signature Noisia elements: precision-engineered drums, brutal and beautiful basses, twisted FX, modular experiments, and eerie and futuristic atmospheres. From happy accidents to deliberate sound design, this pack is another invitation to step inside the sonic world Noisia has defined.

We have been collecting our own samples since 2002. So as you can imagine we have collected quite a few. When you like making sounds, you make more than you use. Going on another deep dive through them resulted in another whole pack. Some of the sounds we might have held on to before, some were rediscovered.

\n\n

These sounds were made with a huge variety of tools over the years. When we started out, hardware was still king, and software was just coming out of the tracker era into the VST era. Some of the sounds will have been made with early versions of Cubase, with synths like Albino, GakStoar, Synth1, Reaktor (called Generator back then), and effects like Antares Tube, Izotope Trash, Kjaerhus Bundle, Anarchy FX and early Waves and Native Instruments stuff. We used some outboard in too, a Boss OD box, an old desk, Roland MC505 and 303, Yamaha RM1X, Yamaha A3000 Sampler, Korg N5 and Access Virus TI.

\n\n

Not long after we started the amount of VSTs and options available skyrocketed. We started sampling and resampling more, using Kontakt a lot and FM8, as well as newer versions of Reaktor and the addition of Guitar Rig to the NI arsenal. Sylenth appeared, as well as countless other softsynths and effects. A lot of tracks were arranged using audio, because we'd still often abuse the CPU way too much with long FX chains. Running all the sounds live wasn't an option.

\n\n

Later, outboard wise a Korg SV1 and Roland Integra were added, and Fabfilter plugins became mainstays. At some point Serum came along and changed the game. Superior Drummer made dreams come true. Too many to mention. CPU's became faster and the software was more stable, we could run more VST chains live without risk. We also incorporated different sequencers like Ableton Live and Bitwig, as well as a growing modular setup.

\n\n

These samples were made across three studios - our improvised bedroom studios, our first 'real' studio that we insulated ourselves, and our final Northward Acoustics spaceships. The workflow changed constantly. Quick to be bored by repeating a process, we'd always be looking for new ways to make sounds. Like that one time we stuck some rolling paper to a small pc speaker and recorded the flapping. Or when we drew sounds in Photosounder to try and reverse engineer audio visualisation. The results varied wildly, and luckily we picked the cool sounds for you - cause rest assured, we also made a lot of...well, crap.

\n\nTL;DR: Here's a bunch more sounds :D\n
