One of the Bay Area’s top ambient producers has created a sample library for Soundbox – and it’s totally freeLast October, Audiomodern introduced Soundbox. The free, fully customisable MPE sampler allows users to create “bespoke” instruments from scratch – the only cost being any library expansions you may desire. Thankfully, even some library content is available for free.
Ambient music producer Chris Bryant (otherwise known as S1gns of L1fe) has created SPECTRA. This Soundbox instrument offers 30 immersive ambient presets, spanning a rich palette of atmospheric sounds and effects.

Promising “ambient electronic bliss,” SPECTRA is a perfect addition for anyone wanting to add an extra sense of theatricality to their sound. From drones to vast soundscapes, Bryant’s pack can capture a sense of eerie mystery, or sink you into a peaceful, meditative ambient world.
The virtual instrument is supported by all major DAWs, including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, FL Studio, and more.

In terms of Soundbox, the MPE sampler continues to grow with every month. Recently they’ve introduced multiple other free virtual instruments, such as VOXMOTIVE and MORPHIA.
A comment on SPECTRA’s promo video hints that Audiomodern is working towards even more updates in the future. “Round Robin modes were our most popular user request, and they’re already here!,” the company writes. “Next up: Time Stretching modes coming soon!”
