Soundtoys have announced that the latest major update to their flagship effects bundle is now available. With the launch of Soundtoys 5.5, the renowned collection now includes the recently released SpaceBlender plug-in, an array of new factory presets and resizeable GUIs across all included plug-ins. What’s more, the release coincides with the start of the company’s Summer Sale, which sees discounts of up to 75% applied across individual plug-ins.
With the latest version of the bundler, the new SpaceBlender experimental reverb integrates seamlessly into Effect Rack, allowing users to create powerful new multi-effect chains. The update also introduces a collection of 67 new presets that showcase the plug-in suite’s full creative potential. Effect Rack plug-in owners can now add SpaceBlender to Effect Rack by purchasing a SpaceBlender license and downloading the latest Effect Rack installer in their Soundtoys user account.
Soundtoys users who want to update their plug-ins with resizable UIs can do so (for free) for the V5 products they already own — installers can be downloaded from the My Products tab in their Soundtoys user accounts.
“Our latest plug-in, SpaceBlender, lets users explore experimental spaces and ambient effects in a fun, but musical way. But when you drop SpaceBlender into Effect Rack, it opens up a whole new world — like using Tremolator to add pulsing rhythms to SpaceBlender’s long ambient swells, creating out-of-this-world psychedelic spaces with FilterFreak and PhaseMistress, or adding analogue vibes with EchoBoy, Decapitator, and Radiator. Sound designers, producers, mixers, or anyone looking to push their sound in new directions will love this.” - Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and Founder, Soundtoys
