Firstly, thank you for uploading this Cam. And yes, I got excited too when I thought it might morph with a 3 D Sound spatial ability. I'm really pleased you asked what people would like to see on the channel next because there was something I have wanted to know for a long time, but was waiting for the right time to ask. Let's for example say I have 100 tracks of varying sound quality from the 80's that I wish to mix and blend with some modern drums, yet every time I save the mix, the drums feel like they do not belong. My question then is how to blend them in Bitwig ( I use Ableton but the principle must be the same) so they sound good AFTER the mix is saved. (Whilst playing before exporting, they sound great)
I would love to see a sound design comparison between Lunacy Audio's Cube and Output's Portal and Motion plugins. It would also be amazing to see how they all work together.
Using stock/free/cheap plugins to create playable textural sounds/pads from found sounds and field recordings. Pretty please. (ideally using Live = selfish!)
I just got Cube today thanks to the Black Friday sale, and I'm finding it to be extremely inspiring. I recorded a few snippets of me singing a few notes, layered them together with a couple of the stock drone samples, and managed to knock out a four minute improvisational ambient track which sounds a great deal more complex than it was to actually play. Money well spent.
CUBE is bizarre, and an incredible plug-in. I'm using it for my lastest project and it is almost meditation like when I finally work out it's parts for my tracks. I think it's a must-have.
Nailed it right on the head. It's meditative like, I have to be in a zone when I fire it up, but I use it and it feels like such a natural/entrancing experience creating new sounds. I'm using it in my current project and just adore it, it's one of my favorite plugin synths in my embarrassingly massive collection.
A wonderful sonic ideas factory. The morphing concept is not new in itself but here in 3-D it reaches new levels of sound design. And it's sold at a reasonable price, much less than other similar libraries, anyway, and the starting samples are really good.
My favorite synth guy is finally talking Cube! I took a chance on this when I first saw the trailer for it and I've been enamored with it since. Man, it's fun playing with orbits. Btw, all expansions (and Cube itself) are on sale atm.
After this video I went ahead and snagged it for myself, and holy shit I love this thing! Throwing a couple weird textural/Foley samples brings out some incredibly interesting soundscapes. I can't suggest this enough if you love to dive deep into sound design. Thanks for the plug, man!
@@zariisofficial Glad to hear i helped someone! You can load 8 sounds to correspond to each corner of the 3d grid, but crossfade between each of those and get some really awesome sounds. Only limits are those 8 slots and how big your sample collection is. Enjoy!!
Thanks for alerting us to this. Good to see that you can import your own samples. If I didn't already have the lovely Bioscape from Luftrum, I'd have bought this... another awesome instrument that encourages experimentation.
For sure - the libraries it feature are great, but the real fun is definitely in throwing your own samples through it. I've been using this way too much for trailer sound design lately since it makes drones and weird hits so fast to design.
Dug my way back here (yes, with a spoon) to thank you for 1) this video which I didn't finish because I had to go give Lunacy Audio my money and 2) DUST!! So appreciate your sound design with this amazing plugin and your sounds have not only kept my PolyBrute lust at bay for the time being, but you've also inspired me to explore more dynamic sound design with Cube!
It definitely gets a music maker to dive deeper into sound design. I started with the free CUBE mini and upgraded in less than 2 weeks to the full version CUBE.
Oh yeah! I will grab it now, as an upgrade from Cube mini. Uhm... as a drummer. Haha. But it's so much fun to improve to those pulses, space sond things.
Was one of those who actually purchased the original Prophet VS (had the rack version, which I controlled with my trusty KX88) iirc, the first patch on power-up was a v-e-r-y cool vocal preset. And the Prophet VS's random patch generator was simply too much fun (great to see that Lunacy Audio has included this feature) I'm watching VT's demo with interest as I'm curious to see if The Cube can evoke the original -- REALLY like what I am hearing so far
A major selling point for me that wasn't mentioned in the video is that Cube is MPE compatable. I'm having a lot of fun creating organic sound layers for my music with simple expressions on my Roli keyboard.
For the benefit of anyone reading the comments who happens to be a cheapass like me, I just wanted to say this is possible for free in VCV using the Nysthi Vector mixer! Obviously not as slick but you've got unlimited modulation options, and can mix any synth modules you want, plugins (if you have Host module), roll your own FM/AM/sync sounds etc to blend. I might nick this idea for an FX patch too. You're welcome! Also, this channel is great. 👌
Holy crap. I'm the same, plugins don't do much to excite me, I have tons of eqs, compressors and synths. But this does something amazing in an insanely intuitive way. Might have to bite the bullet.
I could spend a day just watching this thing. Once again, thanks for jarring the creative juices! I do have a community question though. Is Vector Synthesis basically a mixer between various audio streams or is morphing more complex than that? If it’s basically a complex mixer, I’d love to see a version of Cube that allows eight audio inputs and morphs according to the same topology used in these examples. Either way; definitely buying this one!
You could say it is that, but the issue with 8 ins is that an interface become increasingly difficult to use efficiently and difficult to manage without looking busy and cluttered
@@adrianhendy I see what you mean, but this plug-in has automated some of the complexity with its preset or randomizable 3D curves. That's really what I was trying to say; if their interface allowed us to drop instruments into those nodes it would be really awesome.
Another fun thing besides the Gom Jabar knockoff would be to have some sort of thing for LED fire-spinner people to whip a little MIDI transmitter (?) around on a cord around them in real life 3D space and control the little virtual cube via that - you see whatumsayin?
Yeah i got it and love it. I produce and mix a fair bit of cinematic pop as well as indie pop and Io often find blending in some of cube’s twists and turns it has on offer especially on giving movements to textures, basses and BGVs too sometimes. The LFOs are insanely useful for my applications. Great video as always VT! Cheers😎👍
Had the Mini version for about a year now and I'm still impressed every time I load it up. Going to finally upgrade this weekend. Hyped to be able to run my own samples through it and get busy with the orbit editor 🔥
Thanks for the discount code , I cant wait to try this out.. I would like to see more themed music creating like you did with coffee, that was great , maybe you use your dog as a theme. I am sorry was trying to find your dogs name. Such a cute dog.
Nice overview of this amazing plug in I git the lite version and I was just thinking today it would be cool if you could load in your own samples Knowing the full version can makes me wanna upgrade it to the full version I've been enjoying the sounds I discover through the presents and noticed they have expansions, so was cool to get a preview of Air and the other one. I managed to create a Hip-Hop beat with Cube and my mind was blown at how fun it is to just mess around with.
Hi Cameron, I bought this software. Extremely powerful with some endless creativity. But, I wanted to congrats you on your presets that I have found with all the bundles package I bought. You did create some incredible sets. Anyway, I do hope it's you, the artist name is "Venus Theory", and you're the only one I know! ;-) Take good care!
Plugin Boutique gave me the cube mini and rumble for making a purchase months ago... Never even installed it until watching this video... very cool synth sadly some of stock presets only come in the pro version... The rumble and threads expansions are really interesting and just meddling with building my own sounds makes this an incredible vector synth... great video as always
Thanks Cameron for this very informative and enjoyable video. I got this too and it is excellent. Both paid Expansion packs are a must actually. Imagine the 8 corners of the cube feeding out to direct interface outputs and into an ambisonics or atmos speaker setup. It is stereo right now and great, but maybe down the track they will see it a multi output format too.
Interesting product, and a very good walkthrough. Thank you for that! Maybe even a good tool for sound analysis. Enjoy your day! Rolf P.S.: I have to be more precise: analysis not in the meaning of spectra etc., but in the meaning of discovering and understanding how sounds work in a musical context. Anyway.... keep it up! Rolf
Cube looked amazing when I bought it while ago. I still think some of the sounds are really cool but the real reason why I got it was the possibility of importing your own sample. Right now imported samples don't really crossfades to each other naturally. Just sounds a bit, meh. I think I'd like to get back to it when it gets an update and truly be able to use your samples freely.
Oof the product's price is steep for those like me who already own awesome synth VST's, but the user interface and sound samples do look and sound good. Will hold back for a massive sale one day.
They did just drop Cube Mini which is $39 - good option if you're into the sound of Cube but not so much the sound design. I think the current sale of $99 is as cheap as it'll get for a while but perhaps Black Friday will yield a better deal!
0:53 has me thinking you should do audio books. Maybe build a range of different audio books covering music production stuff. They seem pretty sparse atm ( probably becuase you need a visual representation for what youre teaching which is ironic given all producers favourite phrase.. ) anyway rambling now haha. Great vid!
For some reason the ball in the box in my cube plugin is only moving throughout 5-10% of the box, which seems far too subtle. I want the ball in the box in my cube plugin to move throughout at least 60-70% of the box. Is this possible? If it is, how do I do it?
A lot of the stuff he was doing sounds like its straight out of a sci fi flick or some horror flick. I got this mini one for free from Plugin Boutique and Im stunned. Like today its free with a purchase. Hard as crap to install and dont even know if I got te expansion pack included installed.
Sound design is kinda a misnomer with plugs such as this. Ok we can say were going to make an evolving pad sound, the finished sound we end up with is pure chance almost 100% of the time. Sorry, I had to say
Pardon me if you address this later in the video, but as carefully as I watch the GUI while you're playing these orbits/presets, I can't see how the sounds have any relation to the path or shapes you've created lol
and Bam!! got the Cube Mini. At $35.10 (with the coupon, Thanks Cam and Lunacy) it's a no brainer. Love the diferrenciation between the two versions: Mini for the Makers and Pro for the Tweakers. This was the fastest buy after seeing a YT demo!!! Damn you Cam! 😊😁 Edited: if later you'd like to upgrade to the Pro version then they'll discount you the price you paid for the the Mini!!! and you'll just pay an additional $60 for it. Very cool!! For now, I'm just exploring the presets and they sound fabulous!!
it LOOKS amazing but in terms of results, it's little more than an 8 track mixer. The listener is not going to perceive complexity of those fancy orbits. I really think they should have 8-channel audio out so that it can be wired up to ambisonics mixer where the volume modulation will actually translate to 3D space - which actually has a better chance of the orbits being appreciated by the listener. It doesn't have to be either/or. Can still keep stereo functionality in it's current form. Anyways. Food for thought. Also vector synthesis is not that interesting when applied as mixing between layers. on the other hand, MORPHING between layers is another story. The new Sound Paint sampler illustrates this really well. It's not the first plugin to do it but it's the first sampler which implements it so well.
Would definitely be neat to see this in multichannel output form at some point in the future. I'd imagine for game/film sound design that'd be incredibly useful!
I tried to recreate the idea using unify by pluginguru. I used eight layers and the build in gurusampler on each layer and the also build in pump house effect to control the volume curves. Its not that intuitive as the cube, but it works and the results are comparable.
You sold me. You covered everything I've been wanting to know more about. I've found myself going back to their site over the past few months. Now I know it's worth it just to get the everything bundle.
I got the cube mini on sale and have used it in a few tracks, part of me wants the full version, but I havn't even heard all the presets or spent many hours tweaking the built in sounds, impressive little plugin for sure.
Nicely done. I've been aware of Cube for some time; but your video is the first to really give me a sense of how I could incorporate it into my sound design.
Hi Gregory! Good question - CUBE Mini is the bite-sized license for the engine and includes all the basic features with a curated set of sound sources and presets. The full version of CUBE has roughly 4 times as much content with advanced features like customizable orbits, user audio imports, deep modulation, and more. Both CUBE Mini and CUBE can load expansion packs. We also have a comparison chart listed at the bottom of the CUBE page: lunacy.audio/products/cube Hope that helps! 😊
@@VenusTheory Especially when the sounds can *easily* fit a horror film. By the way, you definitely sold me on it as I like tools that can create interesting textures as I like that blurred line between music and sound design =]
Pretty damn cool coffee boy! Reminds me a little of Soundpaint with a little bit of PlayBox thrown in. Have you fiddled with either of these? I’d love to hear your opinion on Soundpaint at the very least since everyone is already talked so much about Playbox.
What do you want to see on the channel next?

There is an abandoned(?) synth named Cube from Virsyn that had similar abilities.
It puts me in the mind state of Palindrome, (which I haven't used in a while). Thanks for the upload because this look and sounds just as interesting.
I never quite heard anything I liked from that but it was years ago. Is that similar to 2C audio's Kaleidoscope?
@@jesussaddle It has a similar sound but it works differently. When I got it it was free. It's still available at Plugin Boutique.

Okay just for context... what is "infamous" about the Korg Wavestation? What am I missing?
Does anyone know if it has master tune? (To tune the whole synth in something different than 440 Hz) thanks in advance
I guess those of you blown away by this don’t know about Animoog Z, which does the same thing but with wavetables.
That being said I’ll probably pick this up if it’s 35 dollars. It would be quite fun to do this with samples
Does this detect the pitch of the samples imported or just maps them all to C3?
Has any body had any joy with iOS Animoog Z and samples .

I got the cube mini on sale and have used it in a few tracks, part of me wants the full version, but I havn't even heard all the presets or spent many hours tweaking the built in sounds, impressive little plugin for sure.
Nicely done. I've been aware of Cube for some time; but your video is the first to really give me a sense of how I could incorporate it into my sound design.
Glitchmachines Quadrant is a cross-fading synth already available for years.
What's the difference between Cube and Cube Mini?
Hi Gregory! Good question - CUBE Mini is the bite-sized license for the engine and includes all the basic features with a curated set of sound sources and presets. The full version of CUBE has roughly 4 times as much content with advanced features like customizable orbits, user audio imports, deep modulation, and more. Both CUBE Mini and CUBE can load expansion packs. We also have a comparison chart listed at the bottom of the CUBE page: lunacy.audio/products/cube
Hope that helps! 😊
@@lunacyaudio Thanks! it's clear. Is there an upgrade path between the two products, if I start with Cube Mini?
@@epicsynthwave You can click on "upgrade to pro" on the plugin , you can see here : 10:40 :)
@@TheGhostRecordsChannel Yep, I see it. Thanks!
Hey! A cube that doesn't kill people. A genuine game-changer if there ever was one ;) =D
Was very hard to not throw in horror movie gags to this video. Need to rewatch Cube at some point
@@VenusTheory Especially when the sounds can *easily* fit a horror film.
By the way, you definitely sold me on it as I like tools that can create interesting textures as I like that blurred line between music and sound design =]
Pretty damn cool coffee boy! Reminds me a little of Soundpaint with a little bit of PlayBox thrown in. Have you fiddled with either of these? I’d love to hear your opinion on Soundpaint at the very least since everyone is already talked so much about Playbox.
using Soundpaint religiously they complement each other
