Misc : Free AudioCubes DnB sound pack for Ableton Live 7 - macmusicPercussa has announced the avaibility of a free DnB sound pack for its AudioCubes and Ableton Live 7.

This free sound pack release contains 30 impressive DnB style sounds in WAV format, from Loopmasters Artist Series of sound libraries, and a premapped Ableton Live 7 set for AudioCubes. In contrast to the standard demo which is included with software updates and which focuses on simplicity and getting started, this Live set goes much deeper, mapping multiple effects, providing easy shortcuts into song structure for the performer, and includes impressive colour sequences for the cubes.

You now have the chance to try the Live set yourself on your computer, even if you don't have the cubes yet.

The sound pack if compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, and we recommend to use it with AudioCubes 052008 software.
