Meditation Bell Simpler Freakout

March 3, 2009 – 7:03 pm by John Keston

I created this sound by resampling the output from Ableton‘s Simpler as I played a meditation bell sample that I recorded at a register far beyond the audible range. Somehow I got all these odd clicks with strange tones in between. Simpler is aptly named, being a very simple example of a software sampler, so I imagine that not much development has been put into handling samples at very high frequencies. This is fine with me since it creates these interesting glitches. Perhaps I’ll try the same technique with some other samples to see what happens.
