Said to be unlike any other reverb plug-in, the plug-in version of the Strymon NightSky delivers everything that its hardware sibling has to offer, and comes packed with features that will be welcomed by keen sound designers. 

The MPG have announced that KAMILLE (Camille Purcell) and Spike Stent will receive this year's Inspiration and MPG Icon Awards respectively. 

The HA-609A plug-in uses component-level modelling to faithfully recreate the sound and performance of the hardware, and is being offered as a free download to those who own the hardware version or one of the company’s i73 PRO audio interfaces.

The latest arrival to The Crow Hill Company's revolving selection of free instruments has been “built around the idea that music doesn’t have to begin with formal training, specialist instruments, or expensive tools”.

Recorded during the sessions for the developer's Panorama Acoustic Kontakt library, Pure Nylon delivers the same warm tone and musical detail, but reimagined for Soundbox’s MPE-capable platform.

The Raccoon, Panda and Hippo all employ a passive radiator design, and feature an acoustically transparent protective grill that has been carefully designed to preserve the monitors’ clarity and transient response while offering some physical protection. 

Musik Hack's upcoming third release combines EQ and saturation, and as with their previous offerings, comes presented in an intuitive interface that focuses on end results rather than overwhelming users with parameters.

Established in December 2025 with the aim of creating interactive, “vibe-driven” plug-ins, the company already have two products available: Cloud Guitar and Aurora, both of which have been developed with a focus on emotional experience. 

Gainlab Audio’s announcement for The NAMM Show 2026 was a new high-quality headphone amp, which interestingly, comes in the form of a double-width 500-series module.
