Now, with a new HiDPI browsing experience, an overhauled Factory Selection, new creative effects, and under-the-hood audio improvements, the next evolution is nearly here.
Crates of wax, dusty sleeves, and sampled beats: STACKS packs the building blocks of 2000s-era, sample-heavy hip hop into a Play Series instrument full of leads, strings, horns, bass, and sounds influenced by crate digging dedication. Dive deep into the same sounds you’d hear on old-school gems – electric keys, organs, glocks, strings, horns, live bass, and beyond – resampled and processed using tape decks and hardware until they hit the spot. Think collages of funk fused with lo-fi soul, pop lines, and organic left-field bass built for the art of beatmaking.

“SonicXpansion is back with a crazy release for urban and electronic producers that are using Kontakt. Red Synergy is a high quality instrument for Kontakt with a powerful yet intuitive custom interface. This product is a labor of love, I had the privilege of being around from the very beginning of the idea through the completion of the final product, including every stage along the way. SonicXpansion is run by a very close friend of mine, so I’ve had a front row seat through the years, from the very first product until now. Believe me when I say that Red Synergy is the most complete and well-designed product from SonicXpansion to date and is a testament to the creativity and dedication that goes into providing great tools to inspire producers. With sounds crafted from his custom modular synth and various hardware instruments, this product contains plenty of sounds and textures to keep you busy for while.”
NOIRE, a new Kontakt instrument that captures the signature grand piano sound. The instrument – which includes both pure and felt preparation versions of a Yamaha CFX 9’ concert grand – was meticulously sampled in the rich ambient environment of Saal 3 in Berlin’s Funkhaus recording complex. The result is a unique, intense, and evocative instrument, with an atmosphere all of its own. Two distinct sample sets – pure and felt NOIRE offers new sonic inspiration for solo compositions, scoring, and more, with two distinct grand piano sample sets.
