added more info to the user handbook. + starting pre-order for Nodal bass

We’ll be in Austin next week for SXSW. Say hi if you’re around

Our first analog-bass library is soon ready! 26 analog sound devices was used in the making. Captured through boutique hardware straight to a top-notch AD converter.

Working on some adjustments in the send-delay setup. Started finalising what we believe will become the finest bass-sample library in the history of samples.

fixed : some XY sculpt parameters didn’t load correctly on slower systems.

Improvements added to upcoming updates and releases : Improved bottom row buttons, fixed mysterious blindspot in middle of UI. Transpose/Pitchbend/Samplestart functions improved, as well as a more musical responding XY setup for certain sculpts. Merry x-mas!

Implementing glide and portamento on a major upcoming release. We’ve been also working on stuff like level load times, DAW integration, menu and interface etc., improving the recognition level of all the interface button/icons.

We take security very seriously here at Wrongtools.com Nothing would be worse than someone getting access to our database. Core vitals has now been moved to a safer location.

Runebomme sample library, is updated to v2.0. More patches and an extra IR bonus set is added. As well as general improvements.

Our first release, the glass and klirr library, is updated to v2.0

We’re improving the user interface interaction and feel. Adding transparent canvas space around buttons and switches. So that these will be easier to hit with the mouse. Will be included on all upcoming updates.

Putting in place a better invoice and accounting system for the site and our customers.

celebrating first 8000 orders at Sinober Fjellstue (that’s 8000 incl. freebies)

We are celebrating the Clavinet-harp library by adding 51 variation patches and updating it to version 2.0

Almost ALL of our instruments are now updated. Latest versions available in the “download-tab” in your account.

At the moment we are focused on creating some new and innovative functionality to our line of upcoming instruments! Looking forward to share it all.

Improving the Wrongtools Manual. Want to make it as short as possible.

Combined the beating acoustic bass strings libs

Working through the site improving text with the help of a handy free site called Hemmingway.

After a journey, exceeding our wildest expectations and imaginations, we are celebrating 1year anniversary.

During these development stages, we have learned so much more than any other composer project could have taught us. And we now got another motivation to get to work in the morning. And a reason for keep on booking musicians. Some of our customers have become our dear friends along the way.

Some love and attention has been given to the electric guitar library. Updating it directly from version 1.0 to 2.0

Major update to the lo-bit synth Soloist library uploaded!

The invoice system has been down for a few days. Reason : We added animated GIFs for the invoice PDFs. Looked great, but not a great idea. obviously.

The newly released PLATEAU is updated to v1.1 with Sample Offset Slider on all 96 patches.

Say hello if you’re in Austin Texas for SXSW!

Fixed an issue with ADSR not going back to previous settings after certain sculpts. A load & save menu where you can store your personal settings, will be available on future updates and releases.

The pre-orders for Jaguar are blowing the roof off! Looking forward to ship them out to you all on Friday

Moving the “Resize Kontakt Window” button to the settings view.

ALL products updated to v1.2. (not the freebies)

improved general performance
improved loading time
added scalable GUI
improved menu, visuals and fonts

Already purchased? You’ll find the files in “your account“.

Streamlined the payment system by simplifying things even further. Shopping and downloading from Wrongtools should be a breeze. And we have made products visible and available on our facebook page

Happy to see that links to all the people who pre-ordered the Runebomme automatically went out this morning. Automation rocks. Hope you will like it! And please share this news to your friends! And thanks very much!!!

A whole lot of ´naked´ demos can now be streamed from each of the product pages.

An account is – from now on – automatically created when you make an order. This way it will be easier to provide product updates. And it gives us a way to be interactive with our users, and offer freebies etc. We’d ideally prefer to give away freebies to our existing customers, and not always to random visitors.

We are working very hard on our new release, designing some new mechanisms that allow for a better control over the SCULPT XY-pad section. And to make it run intuitively on different CC controllers as well as aftertouch. We’re ultimately excited to see our little instrument getting shaped up for new versions of Kontakt in the near future!

We are now also on Soundcloud! Honest and clean demos of each library. Not cluttered with other libraries, external effects or live musicians. Just sounds from the library and preferably one patch at a time.

What an incredible journey it’s been! 10 days ago we released our first library! With our team we’ve created something above and beyond what we thought would be possible. We’ve put a lot of work into building a Kontakt instrument code that was tactile and detailed. A Kontakt setup that we think is an ideal approach to working effectively with samples, and that we look forward to develop further. We are so happy for all the fantastic feedback from our first 20 customers 🙂 Thank you all, this was a perfect start for our little company!

Now that the dust has finally settled after our first little library release, we’ve got some very exciting news we’d like to share. Our next library “DOWN BY LAW” will be out by this Friday !

We’ve made a poem 💥📖… goes like this :

“The best samples are like diamonds, precious & rare. Bad samples are like leaves, found everywhere.”

Our first release is out! 5000 samples with glass sounds. What have we started? What will Wrongtools become? We have no clue

As we are heading towards the first wrongtools sample library release, we’re continually testing website and fine-tuning tiny details. We‘ve started the most crucial step before the release: debugging! The progress is painful but necessary. Sometimes we do find some creepy bugs, but even though we love them very much, we’ll make sure you’ll never bump into these bad boys!

oh, and in the account area of wrongtools.com there’s now a freebie for you when you sign-up. Planning to make lots of stuff available in-there at a later stage.

Today marks the first major update to our site, and a big milestone. We are finally online with a little product, as well as having set up an account area, a faq area and other things that any respectable webshop needs to have

For the last weeks we’ve been deepdiving into the ‘under to hood’ stuff of the webshop.  The goal is to make the payment and accounting sysmten fully automatic – definitely a big learning curve in web development for us! The idea this time round is to have a bulletproof system (isn’t everyone’s!) which takes some time to implement and get right, learning from previous mistakes as we go. Hopefully the additional invested time now, optimizing everything, will be a good investement for the joy of running this company. 

Please read it while all the text is still readable. With the heatwave still lingering around Scandinavia, we can’t guarantee this post won’t melt before it reaches all of you.  With the great help of a new cooling aircondition in the studio, the production of new sample-library is moving forward at a good speed.  We’ve accomplished a lot of work in the past month, and recorded a bunch of unusual instruments and sounds. All for the greater good. 

Welcome to Wrongtools – Our first Sample Library release is not too far away, but we need to make sure that everything is working flawless.  We will get back to you. Many thanks! 

we’re getting there slowly but steadily! 

Best, 

Wrongtools Studio Team
