TNMOC Samples

Over 180 high-quality samples with sounds recorded from historic computing devices at The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) at Bletchley Park.

These samples include the sounds of the original Harwell Dekatron computer, also known as the WITCH (Wolverhampton Instrument for Teaching Computation from Harwell), the sound of working the Turing-Welchman Bombe machine, which was an electro-mechanical device used to break Enigma-enciphered messages, the sound of M3 Enigma machine, the sound of the Colossus, which was the world's first electronic computer with a single purpose: to help decipher the Lorenz-encrypted (Tunny) messages, and many other very impressive and special sounds.

All of these samples were recorded and kindly provided for free and unlimited use by Robert Dowell who works as a guide at TNMOC.

You can use these samples with SoundScaper, FieldScaper or SynthScaper apps to construct unique and very atmospheric soundscapes and textures. All of these apps can use external samples for create new presets and scenes and are ideal for sound design using mechanical and environmental sounds.

Moreover the SynthScaper and SoundScaper apps have special neural network based algorithms that help you generate new presets from the specified set of samples. With this option, you can easily create an almost unlimited number of new presets, then select the most interesting and slightly tweak it to achieve the best result.
