The BioTek Sample Library

To help set BioTek apart from the status quo, an entirely new collection of audio samples was required. Enter composer and engineer, Mike Wall.

BioTek's natural and environmental sounds are samples from Mike's collection spanning 20 years of field recording in Washington, Oregon, California, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Hawaii, with a bit of Texas stirred in (for seasoning). For the industrial sounds, Mike did location recording at several manufacturing facilities near Seattle. Mike achieved exceptionally high resolution and low noise by utilizing various stereo microphones, hydro-phone rigs and digital recorders that are customized for intense field conditions. The samples were carefully looped and mastered for the Acktion Engine. A lot of time, attention to detail and TLC went into preparing these samples – we're sure you'll enjoy them!

All About The Sound

All instruments are not created equal! BioTek's codebase was skilfully created by the industry veteran, Wolfram Franke who refined his craft designing a long list of instruments for Waldorf Music – revered for their outstanding depth of sound. Sculpting this beast into weird and wonderful soundscapes has been the task of some of the most prominent sound designers of our day including: Richard Devine, ModeAudio, Spektralisk, Taiho Yamada, Alessandro Cardinale, Hydratek, Databroth, Miclop, Kulshan Studios and Christian Halten. The expansive factory patch list has swelled to over 800 deeply creative sonic experiments.
