Check out the video demo of Pro Audio Cubes – Synthor modular synth
Click the image above to view the video
Quick demo of the new Synthor digital modular synth for the Percussa AudioCubes. Synthor runs on Macs and PCs as a standalone audio application and communicates wirelessly with the AudioCubes hardware interface. When cubes are placed next to each other, new patch connections are created, and moving cubes closer and further away change parameters such as modulation depth. Synthor is a free download for all AudioCubes users! Learn more at http://www.percussa.com/
Here’s what Percussa’s lead developer let’s know:
AudioCubes started as an advanced live performance / MIDI controller
but with the synthesizer I’m developing you can use them 100%
standalone without needing other software.Meanwhile we also updated the housing of the AudioCubes to a high end
material and added a high performance wireless module. The result is
the Pro AudioCubes.

Bloq – trio virtual instrument in Kontakt, Ableton Live Rack and Logic Pro EXS24 / Ultrabeat versions
Sample Magic has announced the release of Bloq, their début virtual instrument in Kontakt, Ableton Live Rack and Logic Pro EXS24 / Ultrabeat versions.
Featuring 2.6GB of sample data and presented in carefully collated and customised presets, Bloq has been made using some of the most iconic and revered synthesisers and drum machines of all time.
Over a year in the making, Bloq is the results of months of carefully crafted sound design and meticulous sampling by Sample Magic’s co-founder Sharooz and his extensive personal archive of vintage instruments.
Drawing from an enviable line of 17 synthesisers and 13 drum machines including the Roland TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, Jupiter 8, Jupiter 6, SH-101, Arp Odyssey, Sequential Circuits Pro-One, Prophet 5, Clavia Nord Lead 4 and Akai MPC 60 to name but a few, every key of every patch was sampled through a variety of high quality preamps at 24-bit resolution via the Prism Orpheus Soundcard.
The samples were further processed with the SSL G-series and DBX 160 compressors, Empirical Labs Distressor, Focusrite ISA430 and Neve 1073 channel strip.
Bloq contains two GUIs complete with retro-styled knocks, switches, LEDs, wooden side panels and a unique fader-style step sequencer.
Features:
- Over 7300 unique samples at 24-bit resolution, with every key, velocity, pitch, decay and tone setting of every patch faithfully represented.
- Includes customised Rack for Ableton Live 9 and Logic Pro EXS24 / Ultrabeat version with extensive treatments of every patch as presented in the Kontakt version. With numerous smart macro assignments including filter cutoff, reverb time, delay time, release time and various other commonly used creative control assignments, Bloq pushes compatibility and performance to the limit.
- Drawing on Kontakt’s extensive scripting engine, features an expressive 32 step sequencer, 3-band EQ, chord memory functionality, 8 track drum pattern composer with shuffle and randomise controls, powerful FX engine including reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, 3 tempo-syncable LFOs, tremolo, auto-pan, pitch mod, unison voice stacking, multiple hi-pass and low-pass filter types, tape drive, vintage modelled compression and the ability to instantly decimate and bit crush sounds to 12-bit quality.
- Split into two modules, Bloq Drum and Bloq Synth, Bloq Drum allows each pad to be individually treated with transient shaping, ADSR, HPF and LPF filters, FX sends, tuning and the ability to assign each hit to up to 16 separate outputs.
- 97+ synth patches, 35 drum kits and 140 inbuilt unique drum patterns by sound designer, producer and Sample Magic’s co-founder Sharooz, showcasing the beast sounds from each kit.
- Lossless audio compression makes switching between patches a breeze, regardless of processing power or RAM.
- Vintage sampler mode allows for instant emulation of the iconic EMU SP1200 12-bit sampling drum machine.
- Customised script programmed by Matt Fudge, creator of the Transistor Revolution Series.

Sirius – new powerful virtual analogue synthesizer incorporating a Moog Filter
SuperWave has announced the release of Sirius, a powerful virtual analogue synthesizer incorporating a Moog Filter for that nostalgic warm and fat analogue sound.
If you’re looking for a synthesizer capable of huge leads, pads, strings and basses, then you must check out the Sirius. The Sirius features much of the technology used in the Tarkus synthesizer, but has a Moog 4-Pole 24dB Filter instead of a State Variable Filter. In short, think of the Sirius as a Mini Moog Synthesizer using the Korg MS2000 Block diagram for the sound structure.
The Sirius features four sixteen step Sequencers, Arpeggiator and Multi-Effects which include Chorus, Phaser, Delay, Distortion and EQ. If you’re lucky enough to own a Korg MS2000, then you can use the MS2000’s control surface to edit most of the Sirius’s common control parameters.
Sirius for Windows (VST) is available for purchase for £14.99 GBP.
