While experimenting with different novel reverb designs Softtube realized that the biggest challenge would be to create a product that our users actually could learn how to use. And that led us to the second requirement: it need to be easy to use! We didn't want a reverb with fifty parameters, so complicated that no-one ever dares to change anything, and by that forces the user to use presets.
Some technical specs
- True Stereo Algorithm
- Extraordinary versatility
- Comprehensive user interface
- Modern and powerful high-end reverb
- Extensive preset library
- Comes bundled with the TSAR-1R Reverb

The Octatrack DPS-1 is an 8 track dynamic performance sampler. The Octatrack is ideal for radical audio processing and performance oriented sampling. Every track features real-time pitch scaling & time stretch and the next generation Elektron step sequencer has been designed with maximum usability and efficiency in mind.
Every track can be up to 64 steps of length and all the tracks of a pattern can have both unique length and time signature settings. A master length parameter sets the number of measures the pattern will play before all tracks are restarted from the beginning. If the master length is set to infinity, the tracks will play and loop within themselves infinitely. This amount of pattern customization makes it easy to create intricate and continuously evolving poly rhythms.

Voxel is not only an amazingly sounding vocoder for iPhone/iPod and iPad - the unique concept of iVoxel turns this vocoder into a singing machine going far beyond the capabilities of traditional and software vocoders on any platform.
- Compatible with Akai SynthStation25
- Uses Modwheel to modulate Gender/Vibrato
- Modulate Gender/Vibrato with finger movement up/down
- Hold parameter - holds Voxel at defined moment
- Edit voxel - hear the sound while editing the hold position
- Volume increased for about 12dB
- Many bugs fixed
