8DIO: “MINI”Produced by Troels Folmann. Co-produced by Mike Peaslee.

MINI

MINI is the sound of tiny, little things. It is the tick and the tock, but not the clock. Thelittle clack, the sound of rock. MINI is the embryonic state of all sound and we want youinvite you back to the womb.

8DIO "MINI" is the most comprehensive sample library done of ultra tiny objectsounds. MINI contains several thousand samples of anything from buttons to bowlingtoys, wooden branches to eating chips, boiling frying pans to human hoses, nail files to

pocket watches, sand-drums to styrofoam, teeth clacks to water bubbles etc. Theconcept may seem strange at first, but these sounds have remarkable value in terms ofcomposition and music, since the "MINI" covers a very specific sound and frequencyspectrum.

MINI is the opposite of epic, yet big in its own way.

Note: This product was formerly known as Tonehammer Mini.

Abacus (Counting Rack)

The abacus is a counting rack or table. The abacus dates back to the Babylonians (300 B.C), but soundis still fresh. This patch was made by tilting the abacus, so all the counting thingys would clack, so it hasa rather powerful, yet loose clack type of sound.

Air Hammer / 8-10 x round robin

The air hammer is an inflatable hammer made for children. It makes the coolest noises when you hit

things with it - and got that typical squeaky air sound when you squeeze it. One trick is to downtuneis 32 semitones, which makes it sounds like wild monkeys in a jungle.

Bowling Toys (Camel, Cup, Train) / 8-10 x round robin

This patch was done by placing a microphone in the far end of a table and bowling toy camels, cupsand train towards it. It has a very scratchy sound and works very effectively as a crescendo type ofsound, especially the camel and train have a deep, powerful sound to them.

Breaking Small Branches

Imagine collecting like 100 small branches and breaking them apart. It gives a tiny, little crackly sound.

One tip is to play a variety of the sounds fast and randomly on the keyboard, which ironically soundstotally like burning wood. The little crackly sounds that happens when the wood breaks in the heat.

Button (12 different button types) / 8-10 x round robin

This is your go-to kit for button sounds.We recorded 12 different type of buttons from computermouse, keyboards, game controllers and so forth. A few of the buttons were recorded at multiplevelocities (example mouse button) and all buttons were recorded with extensive round robin, so youcan MINI in eternity.
