Chambers of Doom NEBULA

Team ARCADiA | 06 January 2026 | 800.62 MB

An echo chamber is a reverberant real space, which is used to add reverb to any audio signal. This is done by playing the signal into the space through a speaker, and picking up the audio from that space with at least one microphone. The speaker/mic are usually arranged such that very little signal can travel directly between them, with the sound waves having to bounce off of the walls (becoming diffuse) at least once before reaching the mic(s). In other words, mostly just the reverberation of the space itself is captured. This new, reverb heavy aka “wet” signal can then be mixed back in with the original dry audio to taste. In this release, two more echo chambers at two additional studios were sampled for use with Nebula in this library. I’m giving them unique preset names to help you differentiate between them. The first one in this release is called “Sandman’s Den” and it has a gloriously big, smooth sound to it. The chamber is about 14 x 16 feet with an 8 foot high ceiling. It has a concrete floor, with concrete block walls. It was sampled with the door into the room both closed and open, open providing slightly less density and quicker decay. This incredible chamber was captured with a stereo mic setup.

Depth-Xpander & JVC

Team ARCADiA | 06 January 2026 | 670.51 MB

Two tube-driven spring reverb units were extensively sampled for this library. The first has a degree of notoriety (I’m calling it “Depth Xpander”) and was marketed for use in home stereo systems, and people even had them in their cars, to apply some reverb to the music they played on their system. It’s mono and is said to have been used by King Tubby in his dub mixes. The unit itself is really just a tube amp for driving a spring tank. The second unit (a JVC Nivico) was aimed at the same market, but actually contains the springs inside the case, with the tube amp. This one is stereo. The Depth Xpander has the main reverb, and 4 ‘bionic’ reverbs, which were made using a sampling technique I’ve been using for years now- playing/recording the sampling tones at faster and slower, which results in shorter or longer reverbs, with their frequency responses shifted up or down. The JVC has 3 very similar versions of its main reverb, and 5 bionic ones. I also sampled it in combination (running into) with some eurorack synthesizer modules, including lots of interesting filters (filter banks, formant filters, low passes, etc) and some other modules. There were 8 modular patches, which produced 8 more reverbs. Some of the JVC bionic and +modular reverbs are actually in mono- that’s how they were sampled.

CX20 Spring Reverb NEBULA

The meticulously sampled and reproduced damper control ensures that you will have the smooth and natural dampening effect you would have with the hardware, and lush stereo reverb for days. As with many of my reverbs, this one is more complex by design compared to typical Nebula reverb programs (having a sampled control inside a reverb instantly makes everything more complex), so you’re going to want a fairly recent CPU and decent amount of RAM to get the best out of these programs. There is also a bonus reverb which used a sampling process I came up with that I usually refer to as ‘bionic’. The sampling tones are ran through the hardware at faster and slower speeds than normal, giving higher and lower pitched frequency responses than normal, and also faster and slower reverb reactions. 3 different speeds were used to create these 3 alternate ‘what if’ reverbs and they are all contained inside one program, allowing you to select whichever one you want without having to load another program to hear the next one. Try these out if you ever want something a little different from the main program!

CupTone Vol.3 Tone+Distortion

Team ARCADiA | 03 January 2026 | 452.05 MB

This is volume 3 of my CupTone series, and everything in it is new. There are a lot of really interesting tone programs here, with many of them coming from some very unique, vintage preamps. Other programs are from mixing consoles, outboard equalizers and compressors, and a saturation device. Some have an adjustable EQ band. A major focus with this release was sampling and recreating not just subtle harmonics, but actual distortion. To that end I spent a lot of time rethinking how I make my programs, and came up with a method entirely different from anything I’ve ever done. 10 of the 35 tone programs are capable of producing distortion. The other 25 programs are great for tone sculpting and some subtle harmonic enhancement, just like the programs in my Cuptone 2 release. There are also 12 programs for recreating the non-linear dynamics that occur when some of the sampled gear was driven into saturation. In total there are 47 programs (for each sample rate), sampled from 22 different types of gear.

Cassette Deck 3 For NEBULA

This release is really like a bundle of maybe 3 complete collections of different types of Nebula programs, plus a bonus effect. Most of these effects were made using a Marantz 4020 cassette deck, which has 3 heads and can record/play at double speed, giving increased performance (extended high freq range is one example), however some of the reverbs and one of the comps used the Tascam 122 mk3.

Cassette Deck 2 For NEBULA

Team ARCADiA | 31 December 2025 | 103.40MB

The ADS C3 cassette deck can play at the standard 1 7/8 IPS, but also at 3 3/4. The double speed mode increases performance, including: noise floor, wow and flutter, and high frequency reproduction. At single speed the deck already performs very well, but the quality at double speed puts this deck in contention for the highest quality to be had from cassette. It even approaches the reel format, with the noise floor and wow/flutter being the only specs really holding it back (while still being very good for cassette). Lucky for us, those faults don’t exist in the Nebula programs! Many tapes were used, with some of each type (I, II, III, and IV), and of various qualities.
