Function Loops has released Cinematic Cyberpunk, a previously paid ($17.90) sample pack that is now available as a free download. The developer also recently dropped another free pack called Organix: Indie Electronica, but more on that later. As I’ve mentioned in the recent Polyend Bliss Chords article, we’ve shifted away from covering traditional WAV sample packs in recent years, partly because of the rise of Decent Sampler and free Kontakt libraries and other sample-based formats. But lately, I’ve found myself rediscovering and, once again, fully appreciating the simplicity of WAV. They’re lightweight, easy to manage, and work in every DAW…

Molecular Bytes has released AtomicReverbFree, a completely free algorithmic reverb plugin for Windows and macOS. Built on the same core as the developer’s flagship AtomicReverb 2, this free and lightweight version focuses on essential controls without sacrificing sound quality. That said, let me point out that despite being a stripped-down version, AtomicReverbFree isn’t a demo. You’re getting a capable reverb plugin that stands on its own, and the upgrade, although worth it if you want more features, isn’t necessary. AtomicReverbFree comes with a set selection of features for a free reverb, including early-reflection and tail processing, tail resonance suppression, and…
IK Multimedia has slashed the price of Space Delay, its lush tape echo emulation, to just $10 at AudioDeluxe (regular price $99.99). The offer is valid until September 30th, and it’s an absolute steal if you’re into vintage echo effects. Space Delay is IK Multimedia’s detailed recreation of the iconic Roland RE-201 Space Echo, a legendary tape delay unit released in the mid-1970s. The RE-201 earned a permanent place in music history thanks to its organic delay and spring reverb. We’ve all heard it in records by artists like Bob Marley, Pink Floyd (which is still my favorite band ever),…
