Squeaky Chair

Halloween 2016 freebie: the Squeaky Chair.

The Squeaky Chair is a rare musical instrument and that's a good thing. It's really hard to play and it never sounds good, although my student Gabriel Calis did a great job performing for this sample library.

This particular Squeaky Chair is a rotating stool type and the screw thread hasn't been greased in its whole life. It only has one pitch, the highest A in the virtual version. I mapped it over 5 octaves.

It's definitely one of the most ugly sounds you will have in your computer and it's unpredictable like the real thing. I hope you find some use for it.

It works in Kontakt 4 or higher, GarageBand, Logic and free SFZ players like Sforzando.
