Deep Dive: Watchkeeper by Keepforest
So much more than just a rhythmic instrument with cool clock-inspired samples this instrument allows you to quickly create complex rhythms, grooves, and pulses. The sound design engine is worth the cost of admission alone, breathing new life in all those samples you already have on your hard drive. Watchkeeper is a BEAST!

Deep Dive: Watchkeeper by Keepforest
While Watchkeeper offers an excellent collection of clockwork and mechanical sounds that can be used for cool percussive layers and rhythms, the deep sound design interface and ability to import up to 47 layered user samples make this library something truly special. This library offers one of the deepest rhythmic sound design engines I’ve yet seen and is a goldmine for creating percussive rhythms, melodic pulses, and more.
Watchkeeper normally sells for $449.00 from Keepforest
Thoughts
Watchkeeper is an absolute BEAST of a sound design tool! The included clock-inspired sounds and patches are great and very useful for creating complex rhythms that can fit into a plethora of different genres, but the real fun is the ability to use this engine to build your own custom sounds and rhythms with up to 47 layers of your own imported samples. 47! You can create everything from melodic pulses to deeply layered percussive rhythms in literally a few minutes. Your imagination is really the only limit here. Add the ability to drag-and-drop the MIDI from your creation into any other instrument in your DAW and you have a powerful sound design engine unlike anything I’ve seen before. This thing is RIDICULOUS in the best kind of way! To say I am blown away is a big understatement.
