Residue
A free instrument for the small stuff - the clicks, pops, ticks and crackle that make a track feel alive. Eight organic sounds on the white keys, each synthesized fresh on every hit, so it never sounds looped or robotic. The tiny sounds that separate a demo from a record.
Installing on Windows? Read this first
Windows shows a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen for any app it hasn't seen before, including ours. It's safe - clear it in two clicks:
- Click More info on the blue screen.
- Click Run anyway, then follow the installer.

Eight specimens.
All free.
Every sound is generated in real time - no samples, no loops - so no two hits are exactly the same. Program a fast roll and it breathes instead of machine-gunning. Use it for lo-fi grit, foley detail, rhythmic ticks, glitch, or the human dust under a clean beat.
Eight sounds on the keys
Click, Pop, Tick, Snap, Crackle, Glitch, Thud and Spark - mapped to the white keys from C3 to C4, played and programmed from MIDI.
Always organic
Procedural synthesis per hit - duration, filters, comb pitch and drive vary naturally, like real-world sounds do.
A sample factory
Batch-export whole sets of clicks and pops as WAV files and build your own custom texture library.
