This year’s 404 Day also saw the release of an update which brings Serato DJ and Studio support to the SP-404MKII.Aphelion’s Orbit shares his thoughts on the popular sampler in our latest review.SamplingI remember some of the early samplers and techniques that helped shape hip-hop and dance music.

Plugin Boutique has launched a limited time sale on the Convolver convolution effect plugin from Kilohearts, offering 50% off as part of its “Creative Effects” promotion.The most common, and very cool, use for convolution is for reverb. If you go to a place with a nice ambience, like your local church or your grandmother’s bathroom, and you record the echo from a short loud click, you can convolve any other sound with the resulting impulse response (IR) and it will sound as if you were magically playing it in that location.But that’s not all you can do with Convolver.
