Every aspect of Box Of Tricks has been shaped by Imogen Heap.
An exclusive selection of her instruments, sampled in detail and with custom scripts, effects, and tools; all designed the way she wanted to use them.
Box Of Tricks has already been beta-tested in Imogens live performances and studio projects: a process that helped generate ideas and refine the instruments.
From an initial idea about a free Heap instrument, to the final result, 3 years later; Box Of Tricks is a truly extraordinary collaboration.
Box Of Secrets is a collection of 128 nki presets by renowned sound designer Ian Boddy.
Exploring in depth the individual Box Of Tricks instruments and taking them to new sonic places.
Ian Boddy is Soniccouture’s go-to sound designer, and always finds new levels to our instruments which we never imagined. Box Of Secrets is no exception.. enjoy the ride.
Imogen’s most famous instrument, her 5-octave Array Mbira. Imogen wanted to be able to play this as you would in real life, with 2 sets of notes mirrored for right and left hand. We also developed for her a strum device that strums as many notes as you choose, over any chosen key velocity.
A set of tuned plastic percussion tubes. Imogen plays them with either wooden or carpet covered paddles, so both are sampled here.
Not your usual Cello samples – Imogen’s favourite cello techniques, performed by her for specially the recording. The bowing is very soft and quiet, almost breaking up, while the Slide articulation is a kaleidoscope of harmonics. Pizzicato plucks (+ reverse option) complete the set. At Imogens request, the level can be continuously modulated with its own fader for realistic expression.
A tight jazz kit and selected percussion. Detailed velocity layers (up to 64) make this kit very expressive and dynamic.
Used by Imogen across all her work, the glockenspiel is sampled in detail here, allowing you to get “lost in twinkly sounds”
A treasured Marxophone, a kind of fretless zither with which you can either hammer or strum a set of chord strings. Both techniques are replicated in the Box Of Tricks instrument
A gift from Imogens mother. A charming instrument, full of expression. In the Box Of Tricks collection it is modelled spectrally, enabling the user to control the amount and drift of the pressure applied to the instrument. It also functions as a neat synth, making cool sawtooth pads and basses.
An atmospheric steel percussion instrument which is the perfect partner for the HeapJammer and the custom reverb IRs.
Another unconventional take on a well-known instrument: Vibraphone delicately played with fingernails rather than mallets, and also bowed for haunting pad-like sounds.
A full range of vocal notes performed by Imogen. A spectrally processed channel – GHOST – can be blended with the dry vocal, as can a reversed sample set. ‘PAD-MODE’ switches between the natural, breathy attack or a tighter trimmed start for synth-like choirs.
The result of a unique recording session with Soniccouture in which Imogen created percussive sounds from her voice and body – slaps, clicks, hums, kisses – and also from favourite objects in her studio, such as a large lamp and an ocarina. An incredibly creative set of sounds that can be played as a drum kit, or set into focus mode to create completely tuned patches to play.
A big Heap favourite, this instrument is based around an incredible studio waterphone performance by Imogen – bowing, striking, coaxing a dazzling array of sounds in one long take. Using Soniccouture’s FOCUS mode, hundreds of waterphone patches are instantly available to the user at the click of a button.
One of Imogen’s first ideas for the Box Of Tricks project was to sample her set of tuned ‘Whirly’ tubes – plastic piping that are swung around the head, producing a note and extra harmonics if swung faster. A real challenge to record, this instrument is possibly the most unusual and haunting in the whole collection.
Included with Cocktail Kit and Vocal + Body Percussion Kit
An exciting way to generate complex beats, based on Euclidean mathematics.
No matter how many steps or hits in each individual pattern, they will always be evenly spaced across the bar.
Assign some controllers and jam: you can’t put a beat wrong.
Imogen recording the Cello samples in the studio. An unconventional set of techniques, including slides to generate swirling harmonics, and incredibly soft bowing that allows the natural sound of the cello to break up and unravel.
The latest evolution of our generative arpeggiator, with new ideas from Imogen.
Hold a chord, and let it evolve – or loop a section and jam between 12 sequences.
Record your patterns with the MIDI recorder, and drag and drop into your DAW.
