Typewriter is a sampled version of a 1920s Imperial wide-carriage typewriter. It includes a pool of randomly-selected keystrikes, plus a host of carriage-return, bell, platen wind, spool wind, shift, tab and other mechanical noises. Keystrikes can be "played" with one hand from a MIDI keyboard's white notes while shift, tab, carriage return and so on can be added at will via the black notes.

Typewriter is ideal for special effects, stutter-type glitches, foley effects or sound design. It is available now from Rhythmic Robot.

Features:

• 21 randomly-selected keystrike samples: no machine-gunning.
• Mechanical noises, platen winds, tabs, shift up and shift down, space bar etc.
• Mapped so as to be "playable" from a MIDI keyboard: type from your synth.

Price: £1.50. Requires Kontakt version 4.2.3 or later (including Kontakt 5).
