Four kinds of Building Block are named, and the field ends the list with “and more”.

Levers, hits, grinds and snaps — so four is what is named, not what is in there. They belong to a third category the supplier introduces on this card beside construction kit and designed sound: over 468 phrases and oneshots pulled out of the finished machines, so one phrase can be taken without taking the whole machine with it.

  • 3,551 sounds across 1,468 files About 2.4 sounds per file — the division is computed here
  • 10.8 GB across 1,468 files About 7.5 MB per file — the division is computed here
  • The two figures do not meet The field’s 2,987 construction kit and 584 designed sounds sum to 3,571; the Features line carries 3,551. Twenty sounds separate them, the subtraction is done here, and the field does not say why
  • Over 468 Building Blocks The field’s own figure and its own word over — designed phrases and oneshots taken out of the designed machines
  • Four kinds named, list open Levers, hits, grinds and snaps, and then the field’s own and more
  • Three sources named Obscure boutiques, prop houses and vintage shops — counted off the field

02What The Field Namesthree categories, four blocks, list open▾
Construction Kit2,987 sounds in the field’s own figure. The field sets this category against designed sound rather than defining it
Designed Sound584 sounds — the finished machines, and the source the Building Blocks are taken from
Building BlocksOver 468. The field gives its reason plainly: to get one phrase out of a finished designed sound without taking the whole of it
Levers, hits, grinds, snapsThe four kinds named inside Building Blocks, followed by the field’s own and more
Where they came fromObscure boutiques, prop houses and vintage shops, in the supplier’s words
Range of sizeThe field says tiny to huge and puts no number on either end, so neither does this page
What it is forThe field puts it at a mechanism, a machine or a device in a scene or a game

A machine is believed on the second sound, not the first. The click starts it; the grind and the snap that follow are what make it read as a mechanism rather than as a sample — which is why the field bothers to ship those phrases separately from the machines they were cut out of.
