Atmospherik Mekanisms is the latest free sound library released by 99Sounds, featuring a collection of 123 high quality sound effects, percussive hits and Foley sounds crafted by Martin Eve (aka 4th Eden).
The library contains 123 sounds in total, sorted into twelve different categories: sound effects, impacts, household sounds, morphing sounds, nature sounds, percussive hits, reversed FX, mechanical sounds, rhythms, risers, soundscapes and tonal arpeggios. All included audio content is provided in 24-bit WAV format. The samples are neatly organized into folders and labeled with descriptive file names to ensure quick and easy browsing.
The sounds were edited using a variety of freeware and commercial software, including Audacity, Omnisphere 2, Sonar Platinum, and so on. The field recordings were captured using Zoom’s popular and H4n portable recorder. All included sounds are royalty free for use in music production, game development and video projects. If you’d like to learn more about Martin Eve’s sound design work, check out the interview that was recently published in the Artist Spotlight section at 99Sounds.
What’s particularly interesting about this sound library is that it was created as a segment of Martin Eve’s Creative Music Technology degree project. When I launched 99Sounds two years ago with the release of Rain And Thunder, I was hoping that it will become a place where talented sound designers from all around the world will come to promote their work and share it with the global community. It feels amazing to see that fellow sound designers and audio engineers are recognizing 99Sounds as the community it was meant to become from day one. With 25 amazing sound libraries released so far and more to come, I would like to, once again, thank Martin Eve and everyone else involved so far in creating one of the best and fastest growing resources of free audio samples on the Internet.
Atmospherik Mekanisms is available for free download via 99Sounds (300 MB download size, ZIP archive, contains 123 audio samples in 24-bit WAV format).

onIt’s a great collection of found and processed sounds. Go grab it guys! :D
thx1200
onThis is pretty awesome, but the licensing terms of Omnisphere 2 (specifically mentioned as a sound source) disallow you from making derivative sound libraries. How does this library get around that? Or doesn’t it? LOL
Are there any legal limitations to how I can use Spectrasonics Virtual Instruments?
The main limitation is that you are not allowed to use them to make a sample library or any other kind of sample-based product. You are also restricted from giving away or posting online any loops or samples created using Spectrasonics Virtual Instruments. However, you are free to use them in all your musical recording applications without paying for any additional licenses.

onThese samples are 100% my own. I have passed this by Spectrasonics and as long as I do not used the factory samples (which I do not) then I an free to create samples using Omnisphere 2.
