The new SampleTank 4 has been re-designed from the ground up to be every musician’s “go to” workstation for music creation, with a completely new rescalable interface, a massively expanded sample library and a new cutting-edge sound engine with efficient disk streaming, to deliver more powerful music creation tools than you ever imagined. What might usually take dozens of plug-ins can be accomplished right inside SampleTank 4, for lightning-fast workflow that keeps your inspiration going."

"The talented Moot Booxlé joins us for more synth exploration, this time featuring our iteration of the iconic ARP Odyssey synthesizer. With all the mojo of the original, we managed to take things a step further with added MIDI/CV enhancements, 3 voltage controlled filters, built in KLARK TEKNIK effects, a robust sequencer and even dimmable LED fader lights."

Published on Jan 26, 2019 VJ FRANZ K

"Among many other features, the Volca Drum includes an improved 'step jump' function which automatically stays 'in beat' when you release it.
(So, how can we get the others updated to do this? ; - )
There are a lot of interesting sound possibilities in this new device."

VOLCA Drums and Modular Etc - Weird Techno Jam? z13

Published on Jan 27, 2019 VJ FRANZ K

"More impressive than the sound of this is seeing all 9 Volca machines on one rack! It was the end of the day, but I had to try this.

Especially the Volca modular will require a lot of time to learn and experiment with, but some truly interesting sounds could result."

Published on Jan 26, 2019 ludovic berquin

"This is a demonstration of the Mediastation advanced synthesizer. A beautiful concept by Lionstracs.
Here are some experiment with reaktor.
It was really handy to have reaktor inside a synthesizer, I wished that lionstracs would still continue, but unfortunately this is a very rare gear."

You don't see these often, but they have been featured on the site before. See the Lionstracts label below for more.
