A selection of links to resources including free sounds, images and software.
Apollo Ensemble
Homepage for the Ensemble software.
BBC Sound Effects Library
Great resource of searchable sound effects.
Freesound
A great site that lets you search and download sounds. A short, free registration is required.
Loop Be
A software MIDI router. Really useful for sending MIDI from Ensemble to another music application on the same PC.
MixKit
A useful selection of free images, videos and sounds.
NASA Flickr Archive
A selection of free images from NASA. Great for space themes in your sensory room.
PDF to JPG
An online tool to convert PDF files into separate JPG images. It’s another one from Adobe so you can trust that it’s not doing anything dodgy with your data. Great for creating images to be triggered in the Ensemble Image/Video block.
Pexels
Royalty free images and videos.
Remove Background
It’s great to have images with transparent backgrounds, saved as .png format, to trigger on screen. This website by Adobe removes the background from an image and then allows you to download the result. Great if you don’t have any Photoshop skills.
Sounds of Intent
A framework for musical development.
unsplash
A great selection of copyright free images from some of the worlds best photographers.
