Audiocube has introduced its namesake 3D sound design suite, for Mac and Windows.
Audiocube enables you design sound in an immersive 3D space, incorporating real-time acoustic simulation and binaural HRTF processing, mixed with a range of familiar audio tools. The developers say that “this technology offers unparalleled spatial realism, making it an essential instrument for anyone looking to expand their audio production capabilities and create sound with a more natural acoustic characteristic.”
Features:
3D Audio Workstation: Import, spatialize, sequence, process, mix, master, and export sounds with an array of custom tools and devices.
Real-time Acoustic Simulation: Experience reflections, occlusion, and HRTF binauralization for lifelike sound environments.
Spatial Automation: Conduct the position of sounds over time, adding dynamic movement to your audio projects.
Multiple Audio Device Types: Utilize samplers, emitters, and tickers to shape and control your sounds within the 3D space.
Custom Acoustic Environments: Create bespoke soundscapes with advanced acoustic variables like reflections, distance attenuation, and flexible acoustic walls.
Effects, Mixing, and Mastering Tools: Access a flexible mixer with a range of effects, and advanced mastering tools to color and control your sound with precision.
High-Quality Export: Capture your Audiocube creations as high-fidelity .WAV files for seamless integration with other software and hardware.
Audiocube is available now for £60 (an intro discount of 40% off the £100 standard price). A free demo version is also available.
Analogue Solutions has introduced the AS500-SEQ, a 64-step analog sequencer.
The company says that the AS500-SEQ is special in several ways:
AS500 is formatted differently and operates differently than other step sequencers. Traditionally step sequencers run horizontally from left to right then loop back to step one. You can make the pattern shorter, but generally, that’s it. AS500 patterns run vertically downwards in columns. As the end of each column is played, the next to the right is played.
AS500 also has a unique Jump system. When a Jump switch is on, the rest of the column’s steps are bypassed and the sequencer jumps straight to the start of the next column
These two features in particular are familiar enough ways of working to be intuitive, but different enough to force you to work and think in a slightly different way. The end result is you will get sequences and patterns that you might not have created otherwise.
AS500-Seq Key Features

High quality sealed potentiometers, sturdy switches.
The latest Mylar Melodies is a sponsored demo of the new Moog Muse.
While the video is part of Moog’s marketing blitz for the new synth, host Alex Theakston does a good job of focusing on the basic sound of the Muse, exploring circular FM, modulation possibilities, effects, bi-timbrality, the arpeggiator, chord mode & the sequencer.
No presets are used in hour-long video, so it offers a good sense of Muse’s sound design possibilities.
