Detunized releases Famulus RS1436L - Multi-Channel sound library of vintage Tractor

Detunized has announced the release of Tractor Famulus RS1436L, a sound library that delivers sounds of a vintage tractor that was manufactured in the communist part of Germany right after WWII.

The featured model is a Famulus RS1436L from 1956. It has an air-cooled 2-cylinder diesel engine that generates 36 horsepower from 3.3l displacement. Due to the low operating speed of only 1600 RPM some of these engines are still running today.

For this particular library the Famulus was recorded from 7 onboard mics attached around engine, frame, rear wheels and exhaust. The Tractor performs a cold start (with the second cylinder delaying), various manoeuvres at the yard as well as uphill and downhill drives along a hilly dirt road. The library is completed by various exterior stereo takes that encompass idles, aways, approaches, pass-bys along windy farmland plus takes from the drivers perspective.
