With the likes of Apple pushing the concept, spatial audio is fresh again. KamranV connects past, present, and future and talks to us about how we can get quadraphonic when we work, in advance of a free workshop online this Friday.

If you were waiting for a Novation Circuit that can record samples right onto the hardware, this is the one – with a full eight sample tracks to play and packed with features.

VS from Imaginando could be the visual synth you’ve been waiting for, thanks to a ton of layer and shader features that make it playable like a synthesizer.
