Watch the very best of July’s videos
from the Creator Community

As summer rolls on, we’re bringing you the best new videos from our Creator Community. Check out the latest plug-ins and pick up some tips and tricks along the way. In July, it was all about CLOUD SUPPLY, a trap-focused addition to KONTAKT Play Series; ARKHIS, a new instrument for orchestral swells and ambience; INFINITE ESCAPE, our latest Expansion for micro-house; and COMMUNITY DRIVE, our charity sound pack for COVID-19. We love seeing how creative our Creators get with our latest sounds and instruments. Hope it inspires you too.

Robert Dudzic shows off the orchestral power of ARKHIS 

Sound designer Robert Dudzic returns this month to cover one of our newest instruments, ARKHIS by Orchestral Tools. With Dudzic’s cinematic sound in mind, we couldn’t think of a better host to take you through the dark, detuned, and moody sounds that ARKHIS is capable of. Using the built-in convolution reverb, Dudzic takes a few minutes to come up with what could be the pounding soundtrack to a blockbuster action sequence.
