We just released a new sound pack for AudioCubes, the fourth in the series. The pack contains a collection of custom built demo songs and midi bridge patches ready to load & play in the Fruity Loops environment. The pack contains 3 demo songs each offering a different musical and cube assignment angle and contains over 50 original patterns designed for the FL environment and has been produced exclusively for Percussa Audio Cubes by CueSounds.

Emissions is a real-time soundscape generating instrument by Ableton Live content developer Puremagnetik (www.puremagnetik.com). It utilizes an array of textural ambiances, specifically designed for use with Percussa’s AudioCubes. It will morph, react and evolve depending on what the user (and the cubes!) decide to do.

AudioCubes are a tangible interface for creating music and sound. They interface seamlessly with your existing audio software giving you hands-on control in creating elements for music production, sound design and live performance.

System Requirements:

• Ableton Live 7
• one or more Percussa AudioCubes
• latest update of MIDIBridge software for AudioCubes
• 100 MB of free hard disk space and 500 MB of physical RAM

Thanks a lot to Guillaume Evrard from Puce Muse Espace Musical.

We just did a new sound pack for Ableton Live 7 and the AudioCubes, the third in the series now! The title is ‘Progressions’. The pack contains an exhaustive collection of progressive house loops, breaks and samples, over 120Mb of content, light pattern preset clips and FX racks.

The included audio loops are in WAV file format, which means the sounds work with most audio software, such as Apple’s Logic, Steinberg’s Cubase, Sony’s ACID Pro, etc.

This pack has been designed to give the AudioCubes enthusiast some authentic content and some awesome control patches designed specifically to work within Ableton Live.

In case you wonder how AudioCubes are shipped and what a package of cubes contains: we made some new high resolution pictures showing exactly how each set of cubes is put together by hand and with great care and attention, before being shipped. More photos on our Flickr account here:

Since the introduction of AudioCubes we’ve had a few requests from users in various countries in Europe and Asia for translations of the manuals for AudioCubes.

We decided to kick off the translation of manuals by offering Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and German versions. We keep the manuals in a wiki, which offers excellent support for writing documentation and maintaining it across many languages (wikipedia.org is an excellent example of this).

If you live in a country with a language not yet supported by us, feel free to email us and let us know,
so we can take your request into account on the next update of the manuals. If you would like to do a translation of a manual into a new language, send us an email, we’ll support your effort and make
sure to reward you for your hard work.

Welcome to The Urbano Lounge, the second downloadable sound pack from Percussa.

This pack contains an inspiring collection of mid tempo lounging loops, breaks and samples to help you on your way towards cube success!

The pack contains over 140Mb of loop content recorded and produced exclusively for Percussa Audio Cubes by Cuesounds (UK). Although the pack was designed to work with Propellerheads Reason 4, the samples can be used with other software too.

Included are three main folders, two of which contain sampled loops, and one containing four combinator tools. The sampled loops are included in both WAV and RX2 file format. The included combinator patches were designed to use the RX2 format. The sampled loops have been created around a general lounge and hip hop theme. Some of the sounds included are not typically representative of this genre, however help balance an eclectic palette of sounds that can be used in a variety of styles.

This pack has been designed to give the AudioCubes enthusiast more advanced content than typically included with software releases. The combinator patches included are by no means the only control possibilities within the Reason environment, but help highlight the power of the combinator device and the AudioCubes. Visit our online shop for more information about the sound pack!
