Mangled Marxophone is a collection of wildly eerie, broken, and de-tuned “Mandolin Guitarophone” sound effects.
Mangled Marxophone is a collection of wildly eerie, broken, and detuned stringed instrument sound effects. A Marxophone is a fretless zither instrument played with metal hammers. This library covers a particularly rare variety of Marxophone called a “Mandolin Guitarophone” from the early 1900’s.
Rescued from the deep crypts of a small town antique shop, it’s sprung to life again in all it’s broken glory for your sound design pleasure. The eerie ringing tones and rattly strings are captured at 192kHz with plenty of ultrasonic content for extreme pitch bending.
Ultrasonic Content
This library was recorded at high sample rates with microphones that capture ultrasonic sounds. “But I’m not a dog!” you say, “I only hear to a mere 20,000 Hz.”
Fret not, Sound Designer, the ultrasonic content in these collections is captured to allow you to massively pitch-shift and process the sounds while retaining fidelity and revealing elements you couldn’t perceive before. Don’t take our word for it. Listen to some demos and learn more here!
Thorough UCS Metadata
This library has thorough UCS compliant metadata that works across all popular audio database software. Each file is embedded with exhaustive information about the recording.
Aside from the usual ‘description’, many other fields are available that provide useful tidbits like recording notes, microphone information, category, and sub-category. All sound effects also come embedded with an image showing exactly what was being recorded.
Multi-Take Files
Don’t clutter your SFX database. This library takes advantage of multi-take files. You’ll notice the sound count is higher than the file count.
The various qualities of each multiple-take recording are parsed down into organized multi-take files, where multiple variations are available. This makes it’s easy to identify what you’re looking for and have similar takes readily available.
What the Free(ish)?!
This is a Free(ish) library. What does that mean? Every holiday season (around December 25th), Collected Transients releases a free sound effects library. The catch? It’s only available for free for a limited time. After that, there are two ways to grab it:
- Purchase any regular (not Free-ish) Collected Transients library
- Simply add a regular library to your cart and All Free(ish) Libraries will be added to your cart at no additional cost!
- Purchase the Free(ish) Library
- After the free period, each library is available for purchase at a low price.
If you want to know when new Free(ish) libraries are released, the best way to get notified is subscribe to our Mailing List! We hate spam. You’ll only receive one email for each library released.
