The pack represents a small fraction of Martin Peploe’s sound design work. The beefy field recordings were made by running found percussive sounds through certain compression and limiter effects to artificially increase the otherwise quick decay time. After recording a jam, he would crop all the sounds into one-shots or loops. Martin used some relatively simple but versatile mathematical sequencers that while automating several parameters as well as the actual notes being played. The glitch one-shots were made by using Max MSP to modulate the parameters of a Yamaha DX21 and also the Arturia Moog Modular V. The included sounds range from warm tones of the Roland Juno synthesizer that was recorded to VHS tape, to harsh digital noises, Yamaha DX21 glitches, and organic percussion sounds. This free sound library comprises a collection of multi-sampled instruments, one-shot samples and a set of 50 presets for the Ableton Operator virtual instrument. MGF Audio focuses largely on raw analog and digital tones, as well as cloudy ambient textures, often with a lean towards 90s electronica and “IDM” such as Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin.
