Cymatics Signature Hip Hop WAV MIDI PRESETS Size 1.09 Gb
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE “SIGNATURE SERIES”?
The Signature Series is a very selective, thoughtful, premium sound library that our very BEST producers will create every month.
These monthly sound libraries will feature the most innovative and relevant sounds in the industry — and you’ll be able to choose between different genres and styles that suit your production needs.
Each monthly pack will come with an assortment of 500+ samples, loops, MIDI, and even synth presets. And the Signature Series will only be given to a private list every month — so not everyone will be able to get their hands on it.
But the great thing is, everyone on this list can use the sounds 100% royalty free.
Not to mention, having exclusive sounds every month is very valuable if you want to make unique music and stand out as an artist.
We’re going to be taking in a pretty limited amount of producers for this launch, so make sure you get your spot as soon as possible.
We will only reopen enrollment a few times per year, so it’s better to get in right away to avoid waiting!
EXCLUSIVE “SIGNATURE SERIES” BONUSES
BONUS #1 – Grand Opening Expansion Sample Pack

At the heart of Massive X is a rich new oscillator section with dual wavetable oscillators and 170 wavetables.
Rethought, rewired, and reincarnated – MASSIVE X is the successor to an iconic synthesizer that helped spawn entire genres. Get everything you need to create any sound imaginable. Quickly patch complex routings to bring your ideas to life – no matter how far-out they might seem – and take things further than you thought you could with expressive, playable modulation. Think it up, dial it in, and define what the future sounds like.
MASSIVE X will grow, adapt, and evolve with regular free updates – both inspired by, and to inspire, the cultures it helps to create.
Resizable GUI
MASSIVE by name, but any size you like by nature – scale MASSIVE X to fit your workflow.
Oscillators and Noise
The heart of MASSIVE X: Kick things off with two wavetable oscillators, a huge selection of wavetables, and countless different ways of using them and shaping their sound – with huge potential for tonal variation. And insert noise from a variety of natural and synthetic sources.
Filters
Next up, send your sound through the MASSIVE X filters. Discover all-new ways of sculpting your sound with a series of unique filters – each with their own sub-modes and unique controls.
Effects – Insert and Stereo
Insert up to three effects anywhere within the signal chain, either in series or parallel, or use the same slots to insert additional oscillators. Then apply a range of onboard Stereo FX to the output.
Voice Page
More than just a setup page, the Voice section lets you dive deep into MASSIVE X’s synth engine. Crossfade between wide unison and chord voices to cook up new harmonic blends, or modulate the voice parameters to get really wild.
Routing
Route any output to any input with a couple of clicks to quickly create complex signal paths. This is one area where you can really experiment with different elements of MASSIVE X.
Envelopes and LFOs
This is where you can really start to sculpt, move, and shift your sound. With nine slots for envelopes and LFOs, there’s always enough modulation to go around. Drag and drop anywhere you like.
Performer / Remote Octave
Inject controlled variation by drawing up to eight bars of modulation with the Performers. Assign them to a control octave to play expressive and complex sequences, or just go for out-of-this world experimentation.
Tracker
Modulate parameters depending on which note you play, and how, with the Tracker. Draw curves for fine-tuning modulation per note, or for playing dynamics in countless ways – increase reverb when playing harder, or increase the delay when you hit a specific note, for example.
NEXT-GENERATION FLAGSHIP SYNTHESIZER
Immaculate sound and complete sonic freedom for advanced sound design Create with a new level of dynamic, shifting sound, with truly flexible routing and extensive modulation Based on the DNA of MASSIVE, built for a new decade and designed to evolve
Take a dive into some of MASSIVE X’s highlights, and see what makes it so unique.
THE OSCILLATORS
At the heart of MASSIVE X you’ll find the completely new oscillator section – capable of producing more variation than some entire synths, right at the source. Choose from over 170 wavetables and 10 different modes of reading them – from the aggressive Gorilla family, to a wavetable-bending mode, Hardsync, Formant, and many more – each with their own unique sub-modes and additional controls. Dial in two phase-modulation oscillators to inject extra movement into the main oscillators.
ROUTING REIMAGINED
Connect any output to any input, and see what happens. The intuitive routing setup lets you essentially rewire parts of MASSIVE X, meaning you can bypass, feedback, and send audio any way you like. It’s also possible to route modulators as audio sources to excite elements such as the comb filter.
PERFORMERS: MADE TO MODULATE
Draw precise patterns of modulation in the Performer section, and assign them to parameters for complex, evolving patches, or for controlled changes to your sound. You can then use the Remote Octave control to trigger them on your keyboard, meaning you get truly playable modulation and huge expressive variety within a single patch.
GET HANDS-ON WITH MACROS
Instantly control the parts of MASSIVE X you need to with 16 assignable macro controls. These also enable you to control the synth’s parameters easily in your DAW. Assign pitch bend, modwheel, and aftertouch to modulate any parameter for extra playability.
PACKED WITH PRESETS
MASSIVE X comes loaded with presets – from sequenced soundscapes, to leads, pads, and the big bass growlers you’d expect. Use them as they are, to kick off your own patches, or to experiment and learn more about how the synth works. We’ll keep adding more with regular free library updates.
THE GORILLA GANG
Worthy of special mention is our band of Gorilla oscillator sub-modes – King, Kang, and Kong. Feed them wavetables and they’ll deliver some of the fattest, and most aggressive tones you’ve ever heard.
THE OSCILLATORS AND NOISE MODULES
Dual wavetable oscillators form the core of MASSIVE X’s sound. Choose from over 170 wavetables and 10 different oscillator modes – each with their own sub-modes. These determine how each wavetable is read, with unique controls to shape the resulting sound, which can – of course – be modulated. Dial in two additional phase-modulation oscillators, assign them to the primary oscillators to introduce movement, or even use an external sound source to do the same.
Two noise modules – with sources ranging from synthesized sounds to rain, choirs, voices, and machines – make MASSIVE X a powerful engine for textures and left-field sound design.
SHAPING YOUR SOUND
FILTERS
Sculpt your sound in different ways with all-new filters – including the acid-perfect Asimov, aggressive and distorted Creak, formant and flange-style Groian, series and parallel dual filters, a comb filter, and more. Each filter type has its own sub-modes, and all controls are included in the flexible modulation framework
INSERT FX
MASSIVE X’s Insert FX can be patched anywhere along the signal chain for polyphonic signal processing – in series, parallel, or any way you can imagine. They can also be used to insert up to three extra sine, saw, or pulse wave oscillators – for subs or as traditional subtractive synthesis sound sources – as well as a Ring Modulator, Sample and Hold, or Phase Modulation Oscillator.
STEREO FX
While Insert FX can be used for creative routing and sound sculpting when building your patch, the Stereo FX in MASSIVE X are ideal for finishing your sound. You’ll find the usual suspects such as reverb, flanger, delay, and chorus, as well as an amp and speaker simulator, plus more. Choose whether to use them in series, parallel, or a mix of both in the routing section.
UNISON VOICING
Introduce real musicality to your patch with the Unison section. This is a powerful tool for generating voice variation in both mono and polyphonic modes, and can produce everything from the minute tonal and phase deviation you’d hear when a choir or group of instruments plays the same melody, to chords and scales using the harmonizer, or a cross between the two. If you want to get really in-depth, it’s even possible to modulate it to play melodic and chord sequences of up to eight bars using the performers.
ROUTING
Route, re-route, and feed back audio with absolute freedom. Any output can be connected to any input, and there are even modulation inserts which can be routed within the section – such as treating an envelope as an audio source and using it to excite the comb filter. In MASSIVE X, there’s no need to choose or compromise when setting up your patch.
MASSIVE MODULATION
PERFORMERS AND REMOTE OCTAVE
The three Performers let you draw up to eight bars of modulation, then drag and drop to any parameter for shifting and evolving patches. They can run independently, or reset each time a note is played. The Remote Octave lets you trigger them with a control octave on your keyboard, meaning you can essentially play modulation in real time. With up to three different patterns per note of the octave, there’s an almost endless amount of evolution and expression to be had – especially when combined with other modulation sources.
ENVELOPES AND LFOS
From the subtle to the supersonic, the nine slots for LFO and envelope modulation in MASSIVE X are there to get it done. Switcher LFOs change shape, and can be modulated themselves to change over time. There’s also a Random LFO, Exciter Envelope, and Modulation Envelopes with in-depth shaping, hold, and behavior controls. Tune each of them down to the finest detail for careful sound design, or route them in different ways and make them modulate each other for seriously experimental sounds and unexpected results.
TRACKERS
The Trackers let you modulate depending on which note you play, and how. Draw curves for subtle modulation, such as opening the filter with higher notes or decreasing reverb in the low-end, or create extreme key-by-key modulation changes for completely different sounds within a melody.
VR MOD
The Voice Randomizer adds randomized modulation to any source. Simple but effective, it can be used in the same way as any other modulator with any parameter. It’s a great tool for analog-style sounds to emulate drifting in the oscillators, filter, and pitch, as well as for more extreme chance variation when cranked up.
MACRO CONTROLS
Get hands-on with any parameter using 16 macro controls, as well as pitch bend, modwheel, and aftertouch controls. Assign them to what you need the most to shape your sound when playing live or recording. They also act as a bridge between MASSIVE X and your DAW’s automation.
Ableton Live Suite v10.1.0 WIN & MacOSX Size 1.2 Gb
Create bolder sounds with Live’s new devices. Stay in the flow with a multitude of workflow improvements. Do even more away from the computer with Push. Build your sound with a curated library. And get the unlimited potential of Max for Live, seamlessly built in.
Create with new devices Meet Wavetable, Echo, Drum Buss and Pedal: new devices that mean colorful new sounds are possible with Live’s instruments and effects.
Wavetable Immediately playable, infinitely capable, Wavetable is a new synthesizer built by Ableton. Shape, stretch and morph sounds using wavetables derived from analog synths, and a range of other instruments and sounds. Start sculpting sounds right away—even without a deep knowledge of synthesis—or explore its rich palette and potential through an intuitive interface.
Echo Echo brings together the sound of classic analog and digital hardware delays in a single device—your new go-to delay. Drive and shape sounds with its analog-modeled filters, turn up the noise and wobble for vintage imperfections, or add modulation and reverb to create diffuse soundscapes, wailing feedback and more.
Drum Buss Drum Buss is a one-stop workstation for drums, capable of adding subtle character or bending and breaking drums to your will. Add warmth and distortion with drive and crunch, take control of dynamics with compression and transient shaping, dial in and tune boom and control bass decay with the dedicated low end section.
Pedal With separate circuit-level models of overdrive, distortion and fuzz guitar pedals, Pedal brings the character of analog stomp boxes to Live. The effect goes all the way from subtle to reckless—it excels at warming up vocals and other instruments, driving synth sounds or completely smashing drums. And of course, it sounds great with guitars.
New features in Ableton Live 10.1
VST3
Live 10.1 now supports VST3 plug-ins. To activate your VST3 plug-ins, open Live’s Preferences → Plug-ins. Then enable the VST3 folder. Once scanned, any available VST3 plug-ins will appear in the Browser, grouped into folders named according to the plug-in manufacturer:
User wavetables in Wavetable (Suite only)
It’s now possible to add your own custom wavetables to Wavetable using any suitable audio file. Simply drag an audio file from a folder in Live’s Browser to the visualization area in Wavetable. If there are more audio files in the same folder, then you can use the left/right arrow icons in Wavetable to scroll through them. You can also drag audio files from anywhere within the Live set, or directly from Explorer(Windows)/ Finder(Mac). For full details, see our dedicated article: User Wavetables.
Modulation improvements
Modulation was a “hidden” feature in previous versions of Live. It’s now been brought to the forefront. Toggle easily between automation and modulation envelopes using the “Aut” and “Mod” toggles in clip envelopes. Automation lines and breakpoints are colored red and modulation lines and breakpoints are light blue. See our dedicated article: Working with Automation and Modulation.
Note: When working in Arrangement view, any modulation remains a clip envelope. Automation is moved to automation lanes as per usual.
Automation and Modulation shapes
It’s now possible to choose from a predefined list of automation shapes. Right click in any envelope or automation lane and insert a shape from the list:
You can highlight a section to apply the shape to the entire selection, or drag and extend a shape after adding it.
Simplify Envelopes
The overall amount of breakpoints can be reduced, using the new “Simplify Envelope” command (in the right click context menu). This makes editing recorded automation more comfortable. Curve-like movements are simplified into C- or S-shapes, whenever possible.
Before:
After:
Envelopes can be simplified across multiple clips. Just create a time selection that stretches across multiple automation lanes and trigger the command from the context menu or ‘Edit’ menu. Note that this will only work in Arrangement View though, not in Session view.
Note:
Simplification cannot be applied on parameters that require discrete steps, such as booleans (e.g. on/off switches) or enums (e.g. dropdown menus, radio buttons, stepped dials, etc.) Simplification can only be applied once, i.e. you cannot simplify an envelope and then simplify it further in an additional step.
Exact breakpoint values
All breakpoints and segments now also accept values entered via the keyboard for more precision. Right click on a breakpoint, select “Edit Value” and type in the required value in the box which appears:
Arrangement zooming and navigation improvements
You can easily zoom and navigate using new keyboard shortcuts and the trackpad in Live 10.1. See our dedicated article for a full list of shortcuts: Trackpad and zooming updates in 10.1.
Arrangement overview improvements
The Arrangement Overview is now resizable In Session View the Overview is visually aligned and the whole Arrangement is represented.
Clip detail improvements
The visualization of Arrangement clips has been improved with adjusted clip borders and refinements to the way items are colored. The representation of MIDI clips in Arrangement is improved, in that when only a few notes exist, these are in larger size.
Channel EQ
Channel EQ is a new straightforward three band EQ for mixing/sound design purposes. It uses the same technology as its bigger brother EQ Eight, but provides a much simpler control layout.
Despite its simplicity, the EQ curves and gain ranges have been fine tuned so that it is effective on a variety of audio material: the shape of the filters adapt based on how much a control is boosted or cut, thus allowing for a musical and intuitive approach to equalization.
Delay
Delay is a new audio effect which combines Simple Delay and Ping Pong Delay into one single device. As such, it preserves the old functionality, but also delivers a few improvements:
Ping Pong behavior is activated via a dedicated button. The filter can process signal also if the timelines are not linked and if Ping Pong is not active. Jump / Fade-In / Pitch are now possible using the mode switches, and not relegated to the context menu. a new LFO allows you to modify time or filter frequency. Note: Simple Delay and Ping Pong have been deprecated from the 10.1 browser. Old sets using either device will load Delay but display an upgrade button. Clicking that upgrade button changes exclusively the free time delay range. Changes in sound after pressing upgrade will only occur if free time is mapped to a macro.
Freeze tracks with sidechains
It’s now possible to freeze tracks with active sidechain routings.
Note: Tracks with their monitor set to “In” can’t be frozen.
Sidechain support for plug-ins
You can sidechain VST and AU plug-ins using the new sidechain routing panel. Sidechain functionality depends on the plug-in itself: if the plug-in does not already support sidechain functionality, then the sidechain routing will have no effect. To hear the effect you’ll need to enable sidechaining from an external source in your plug-in. Consult the plug-in manual for instructions. See our dedicated article: Sidechaining a third party plug-in.
Include return and master effects when exporting
It’s now possible to render individual tracks with return and master effects included. This allows you to export stems all at once, without having to solo tracks and export one at a time. See our dedicated article: Importing and exporting stems.
Atomix VirtualDJ 8 Pro Infinity v8.3.4514 Win 2019
WHAT IS VIRTUALDJ ?
VirtualDJ is a DJ software for PC and MAC. It is used by DJs to replace their turntables and CD players, and use digital music instead of vinyl and CDs.
In the same way that the CD players used by DJs have more options than a regular Hi-Fi CD player, VirtualDJ has more options than a simple media player like iTunes. It lets you “mix” your songs, by playing two or more tracks at the same time, adjust their relative speed so that their tempo will match, apply effects like loops etc, and crossfade from one side to the other. It also lets you scratch your songs, set and recall cues, and all the other regular features DJs expect to find to be able to mix.
It will let you organize your collection of tracks and group them easily in a DJ-friendly way, using filter to find the hot songs, or find compatible bpm or key, access your previous playlists, etc. And if you’re missing a track, VirtualDJ will automatically find it on the Internet and stream it directly (*requires an additional subscription). And, using the millions of automatic reports we get every day from other VirtualDJ users around the world, it will give you meaningful advices on which songs other DJs consider to go well after what you just played.
VirtualDJ can play not only audio tracks, but also video or karaoke, if you connect your computer to a projector or the club’s screens.
It comes with a plethora of effects, ranging from traditional flanger, echo, etc, to more modern “beat-aware” effects like beatgrid, slicer, loop-roll. And if you mix videos, you’ll also find a lot of video effects and transitions to play with. Its built-in sampler will let you spice up your mixes with a broad range of drops and loops, or you can go creative and merge live performance and production by creating remixes on-the-fly by using the sampler like a sequencer.
VirtualDJ is plug-and-play compatible with most of the DJ controllers that exist on the market. Just plug yours and you will be ready to go. And if you want to change any of the default behavior, VirtualDJ has a powerful “VDJScript” language that will let you easily tweak any functions exactly to your liking. Same for the interface. If you want to change it, our website hosts hundreds of user-made interfaces to replace the default one, or you could easily create your own.
VirtualDJ is used by tens of millions of people every day, ranging from bedroom DJs to international superstars. It is used to play live in clubs and big stadiums, at weddings, private parties, or just to train at home. And in addition to being used live, VirtualDJ can also be used to record mixtapes, podcast, or to broadcast to Internet radios.
