A’ Neo-acoustic
Sounds that illustrate the electrorganic character of the aFrame
Slappin’Frame
This tone emulates the percussive and funky sound of slap bass with the right attack sound at the edge.
RetroFuture
This tone combines a bass, marimba and a synthetic sound. While pressing the surface, the note-pitch
sequences and panning move independently following scales, or are triggered randomly.
LiquidBowl
This abstract tone evokes the sound image of water sloshing around a bowl in the kitchen! The combina-
tion of pitch shifting and mute controlled by pressure produce an unusual effect.
BassOnIce
The pitch of a powerful bass sound is lowered by pressure control. Two other timbres create an icy metallic
timbre. The level of reverb and the width of the stereo image increase with the level of pressure applied
to the surface.
CosmicSamba
The mute, scale and effect parameters for each timbre are set independently to yield a complex expressive
sound that is sensitive to touch pressure on the surface.
DizzyBell
This tone fuses three different metallic sounds. By combining the pressure control parameters applied to
each timbre, a truly ‘electrorganic’ sound is produced.
SledgeHummer
A heavy distorted sound with a metallic edgy character. The stereo image widens and spreads ‘outside’ of
the speakers due to the 3D spatialization processing of the Space Z effect.
TechAncient
This tone has an electronic, yet primitive sonic character with a triplet rhythm tap delay effect. This opens
up possibilities for poly-rhythmic expression.
CastingSpell
This tone combines a primitive drum sound and a synthetic sound. Pressure scale control allows you to
generate a melodic sequence while pressing the surface.
MagicLamp
An exotic sound is mapped to an Arabic scale and processed by a pressure sensitive phaser effect. This
aFrame tone was inspired by the story of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
B’ Acoustic
Sounds that simulate the characteristics of various acoustic sounds
CaPhone
A hybrid Cajon sound with a rich harmonic attack. This tone really showcases the unlimited sound design
possibilities of timbre layer combinations.
TwitterSamba
This complex tone combines three distinct sounds – a bass drum, ago-go bells, and a whistle. Each layer is
controlled differently by pressure. The overall soundscape impression is of a one-man Samba band!
JungleCall
This tone combines a sound with a wooden character and a birdcall sound processed with a rich, deep
reverb. Pressure control articulates random panning effects.
DevilDrum
This simple, primitive drum sound has snappy, punchy quality. The setting of negative values for the mute
controlling the extra timbre means that the noise sound gets a longer decay when you strike strongly.
SnowFrame
A frame drum sound with a deep reverb effect. The pan position and pitch of the extra timbre noise sound
changes randomly while pressing the surface.
BuzzBukaDrum
This tone has a distorted buzzy bass sound at the center and a high-pitched sound at the edge. This tonal
contrast between the center and edge is inspired by a Darabuka drum.
Bamboorine
A huge tambourine sound, but the pitch and pan position change randomly depending on the level of
pressure applied to the surface. This tone is an interesting combination of an acoustic sound with electron-
ic-sounding effects process.
Rock’n’Roar
This tone combines a bass drum sound with a mid-low tremolo drum sound processed by a tap delay effect.
The overall effect sounds strange because the panning is controlled by pressure.
ClusterGong
A type of Korean gong called a “Kwenggari” inspires this tone. The trashy quality of the sound is highly
sensitive and response over a wide dynamic range.
HystericDrum
A spring drum sound is blended with a synthetic sound to create a tone with unique character that is
drawn out when pressing or scratching the surface.
