Though its purpose is to enable better sales process, PTC Velocity’s bad UI and poor content organization were not tailored to fit the needs of our daily users, the sales reps and partners reps.  

We knew the website refresh needed to start from home. The old homepage did not serve much of its purpose. Randomly placed announcement banners and unclear buttons on top made the homepage to look confusing.

To learn more about our users’ experience with the current site, we conducted user interviews and usability testing. Based on the feedbacks we collected, we were able to identify 3 major user behavior using this platform.


Searchers
know what they are looking for, use the search bar to look for the contents.

Navigators
know what type of content to look for. So they start navigating through pages to find them, often getting frustrated for getting lost in the navigation.

Receivers
are not comfortable using the system for its confusing UI. They want contents to be delivered  directly to them.

User Stories

“When I go into Velocity, I care more about information design than pretty looking UI. As long as I can find contents as quickly as possible, the better.”

Many users struggled navigating through pages to find the right content. We needed to find the best way to make their discovery experience easy and seamless.

The design process consisted of card sorting, information architecture, task flows, and creating low-fi/high-fi wireframes.

The “Twisted” element, however, is where the pack earns its distinction. Sample Magic did not simply record a choir and add a low-pass filter. The manipulation is baked into the DNA of the samples. Many of the one-shots and loops sit in an uncomfortable valley between devotion and dissonance. Vocal chops are time-stretched to the point of granular synthesis, turning a melismatic run into a rhythmic stutter. Harmonies are shifted out of phase, creating a disorienting, almost psychedelic stereo spread. This is not music for a Sunday morning sermon; it is music for a 3:00 AM warehouse, where a sampled “Amen” is looped into a techno mantra. The pack understands that in contemporary production—from Burial’s crackled lullabies to the deconstructed club beats of Arca—holiness is often found in the glitch.

At its core, this pack is an exercise in controlled degradation. The “vintage” descriptor is not merely aesthetic but technical. The vocal phrases—predominantly female, soulful, and drenched in the reverb of an imagined 1960s chapel—are presented with their imperfections intact. Unlike sterile, pitch-perfect modern vocal stacks, these samples arrive with subtle wow and flutter, harmonic saturation, and the granular texture of dust on a needle. This is not a bug; it is the feature. For the electronic musician, these artifacts act as a pre-built narrative. A single “Hallelujah” stretched across four bars is not just a word; it is a relic. The producer becomes an archaeologist, digging through layers of simulated age to find a human core. Sample Magic 101 Vintage Vocals Twisted Religion Wav

From a utilitarian perspective, the pack is structured for maximum chaos and creativity. The folder contains the standard diet of modern production: full melodic loops, dry one-shots, and atmospheric pads. But the gold lies in the “Twisted” sub-folder. Here, users find vocal phrases that have been reversed, pitch-shifted into unnatural basso profundos, or sliced into rhythmic MIDI-like patterns. This encourages a workflow that is less about arrangement and more about collision . A producer might take a clean, “pure” vintage shout and layer it over a twisted, glitched-out whisper of the same phrase, creating a call-and-response between the soul’s past and the machine’s present. The “Twisted” element, however, is where the pack

In the vast digital bazaar of modern music production, sample packs are often dismissed as the crutches of the lazy producer—pre-fabricated loops that homogenize sound. Yet, nestled within the deep catalog of Sample Magic, the 101 Vintage Vocals (Twisted Religion) pack defies this reductive narrative. It does not simply offer sounds; it offers a specific atmosphere : a collision of sanctified soul and technological distortion. The title itself is a manifesto. “Vintage” implies nostalgia, a reverence for the crackle of old vinyl and the warmth of analog tape. “Twisted” suggests perversion, while “Religion” points to the sacred. Together, these elements create a toolkit for producers interested in the liminal space between gospel’s ecstatic truth and electronic music’s cynical fragmentation. Many of the one-shots and loops sit in

However, the pack’s greatest strength is also its potential weakness: its distinct character. This is not a universal vocal toolkit. If you are producing clean pop or mainstream hip-hop, the heavy saturation and religious lexicon (ample uses of “Lord,” “Glory,” and “Savior”) may pigeonhole your track. The pack is a stylistic anchor. It forces the producer into a specific mood—melancholic, reverent, and slightly corrupted. To use Twisted Religion effectively is to surrender to its world-building. It demands that you build your beat around the vocal, rather than the other way around.

In conclusion, Sample Magic’s 101 Vintage Vocals (Twisted Religion) is a masterclass in sample pack curation as art curation. It rejects the notion of a neutral, transparent sample library. Instead, it offers a piece of interactive fiction. It provides the user with the raw materials to explore the tension between the organic and the synthetic, the sacred and the profane. When a producer drags that distorted “Oh, glory” into a DAW, they are not just downloading a sound. They are twisting a relic, sampling a ghost, and building a new, secular religion out of broken circuits and broken hymns.

There is never a perfect design! We had a lot of positive feedbacks from our users with the redesign. Users were satisfied with cleaner UI and improved navigational experience.

However, even the new design could not satisfy our users 100%. As they continued using the tool, they faced with new sets of problems. I learned how important it is to never get fully satisfied with the design decisions and the continue the effort of iteration, which should not be an option but a habitual routine.
