The first incarnation
A collection of sixteen rattly, scratchy, dirty, plucked, scraped, pressed and smacked, unusual Rattly and Raw instruments!
The instruments have all come from quirky shops and chance meetings and have been used on many sessions by the Rattly and Raw team. These are nothing like the, often pristine, sample instruments on the market right now! This pack contains unusual and rare instruments like the Rheem Key Bass, Taishokoto, Appalachian Dulcimer, Pitched Cowbells, Plucked Piano and Zither strings and MUCH MUCH MORE (see below)
Most of the instruments in this pack have a LoFi effects section (click here for quick video demo) to really bring the dirt out! There are also some really useable multis thrown in!
All recorded in the Rattly and Raw studios with great gear and caring ears, we really hope you'll embrace their character and imperfections and get to love this collection of musical gems.
Please check out the demos to hear these beauties in action

THE MARXOPHONE
'THE MARXOPHONE' - contains one lovingly sampled original marxophone with multiple layers and velocity sensitive trill action (as well as multiple instruments with different performance options!)
The original instrument was produced from around 1912 by the Marxochime Colony of New Troy, Michigan!
It is essentially a hammered zither which gives a mandolin-like trill sound when the hammers are pushed down onto the strings. It is also possible to strum the open strings behind the hammer-plate.
It's a very distinctive sound and one you'll probably recognise!
This has a custom velocity management script (click here for video!) to really aid playability and control of the trill function and a LoFi script with drive control to take this unique instrument to some new places! We've also included ELEVEN variations on the standard Marxophone (see below!)
Check out the demos to hear it in action.
SO... What do you get?
Obviously our main Marxophone instrument with its custom velocity management script with independent control of the trill volume/velocity at which the trill kicks in as well independent control of the release time of the trill! We've also included another tab with a whole LoFi section to dirty it all up!
We've been a little bit creative too so there's a load of variations on the main instrument including some layered with other complementary instruments!

COLD WAR LISTENING station
'COLD WAR LISTENING STATION' - contains massive percussion hits, calamitous found material impacts and bizarre instruments, all soaked in the huge paranoid reverberations from this monstrous facility. We took in sound making devices and used what was there as well, the results are definitely unusual!
These were all recorded on location at an abandoned listening station hidden in central europe. Our intrepid sampling team overcame wild dogs, lurking strangers, rats, guards and creeping terror to bring you these unique sounds! It was a massive challenge to get clean enough decay tails on these huge and spooky sounds as this abandoned station was open in parts to the elements (which brought its own challenges) and also every tiny noise was amplified massively by the architecture!! As a result, this uniquely disjarring and sonically intriguing pack is the result of luck, stealth and opportunism and signal to noise management!
Each instrument has a simple time stretching control section which MASSIVELY broadens the scope of these sounds (see here for a quick demo video!).
Hugely atmospheric but still musical and usable, we hope you'll overcome your feelings of mistrust and concern to really get into the sounds of the
Cold War Listening Station.

STudent vibraphone
This short-scale student vibraphone has a unique attacky, clanky goodness that we had to share! Great for getting that vibes sound across with no trace of 'posh' or 'refined' at all!
There are a few instrument options here so you can get a good range of sounds from this limited instrument!
• Main Instrument (imperfect and real!)
• Vibes played with hard drumstick (good and clanky!)
• Vibes hit with chingring resting on tines (properly Rattly And Raw!)
There is instrument specific keyswitching to toggle on the tremolo, release action, and sustain (also mapped to sustain pedal of course!) and other functions! See the quick demo video here.
