01Overview

Air (CUBE Expansion) expands the CUBE instrument with a collection of wind-based sounds. Lunacy built the library from samples of world wind instruments, processed through Eurorack modules, so the material ranges from fairly organic to heavily shaped. The pack includes 35 multi-layered sound sources and 120 presets, which the developer says were designed by experienced composers and producers. It is a fit for producers looking for airy textures beyond standard synth pads.

Wind Instrument Sounds and Textures

Lunacy sampled instruments from several regions, including the Bolivian Moseño, Japanese Shakuhachi, Peruvian Giant Pan Flute and Slovakian Koncovka. These recordings are turned into pads, textures, keys, plucks and one-shots.

The developer highlights sounds such as pan flute bursts, glass bottle blows, trumpet ghost tonguing and clarinet swells. Because some samples are kept close to the original and others are processed through Eurorack modules, the library covers both natural breath-like tones and more abstract textures.

Library Contents and Requirements

The expansion contains 35 sound sources, each built from multiple layers and over 200 samples in total. Presets are included for quick auditioning, and the sources can be played as instruments across a keyboard.
