Waves Audio has released a new version (V15) of all SuperRack products – SuperRack SoundGrid, SuperRack Performer, and SuperRack LiveBox – adding full support for immersive audio mixing.

All SuperRack systems now feature 5.1.4, 7.1.4, and 9.1.4 immersive channel configurations, enabling powerful new workflows for immersive live broadcast and live concert environments.

As part of this update, the Waves Immersive Wrapper plugin is now compatible with all SuperRack products. This way, all Waves mono plugins can now be transformed into immersive processors within SuperRack: simply insert Immersive Wrapper on any SuperRack slot, load any Waves mono plugin inside Immersive Wrapper, and mix immersive live audio with Waves plugins in real time.

Immersive Wrapper is now also bundled with SuperRack LiveBox, making LiveBox the one-stop solution for immersive mixing in live broadcast and live concert settings.

New in SuperRack V15:

• 5.1.4, 7.1.4, and 9.1.4 configurations added to SuperRack SoundGrid, Performer, and LiveBox.

• The Immersive Wrapper plugin is now supported in all SuperRack products, allowing you to turn any Waves mono plugin in your SuperRack sessions into an immersive processor. Immersive Wrapper is now also bundled with SuperRack LiveBox.

• Immersive-ready VST3 plugins, including plugins by other (non-Waves) manufacturers, are now directly supported in SuperRack Performer and SuperRack LiveBox.

• Other new features in all SuperRack products:

• Easy plugin search with a brand-new plugin search menu.

• Support on Intel Core Ultra computers (scroll down to see important notes).

Developer Romain Dereu shared this video intro to the Romagnetics Midynamite, a compact, battery-powered MIDI multi-effects pedal.

It can function as a standalone pedal or as a USB MIDI interface for a computer. It features three physical MIDI DIN 5-pin connectors and USB MIDI device support.

The pedal can be used in a variety of ways, including being a MIDI clock source, splits, layering, transposition, harmonization and more.

The Romagnetics Midynamite is available pre-built for $249. The code is open source and available via Github.

Loopcloud’s Flip Sample feature transforms any sample from its library with a single click.

Sample library Loopcloud has announced a new feature that allows users to instantly transform any sample from its library into a new musical idea by intelligently applying curated patterns and effects, creating fresh variations on any sample with a single click.

The Flip Sample tool can be accessed from both the Browser and Editor in the Loopcloud app: simply select a sound, hit Flip Sample and the software will slice, dice and process the sample using an intelligently selected treatment from a library of over 1000 curated patterns and effects.

The transformations applied can range from editing and rearranging loops, pitching and sequencing one-shots, and applying automated effects like delay, reverb, filter and compression to create evolving and dynamic patterns. Variations are tailored to different instruments and sound types, and samples will be automatically stretched or arranged into sequences to create loops that fit neatly into a 4- or 8-bar pattern.

The feature builds on Loopcloud’s existing Patterns system with five times more options, tighter instrument matching and deeper integration with the multi-track editor and effects. The goal is to inspire users by showcasing new ways to work with samples from the Loopcloud library, giving them an instant starting point for further creative manipulation in their DAW.

The introduction of Flip Sample continues a trend among sample platforms such as Loopcloud, Output and Splice towards assistive features that automate the process of discovering and manipulating samples.

Earlier this year, Output launched Co-Producer, a plugin that scans your DAW project and suggests musically compatible samples from its library. This was soon followed by Re-Imagine, a tool that reworks samples using generative AI to create variations on any sound. In 2023, Splice launched its own AI-powered sample matching tool.

Loopcloud Flip Sample is a free update for existing subscribers. New annual subscribers can access a 50% discount on any plan and a free 10-plugin bundle featuring instruments and effects from Native Instruments, iZotope, IK Multimedia and more.

Prices start at £35.99/€41.99/$47.99 and the offer ends 6th January 2026. If you want to give Sample Flip a try for free, Loopcloud is offering a 14-day free trial.
