This is a short one … I’m proud to announce the imminent release of LOOPSalad (The LOOPS Salad, The Loops Box) a new original Kreativ Sounds product. This will be our only commercial loops product, but just like PROWaves, it will grow over time both in quality and quantity. There will be an upgraded path for the owners of our discontinued loops products. More info (very, very) soon!
As you may already know Kreativ Sounds use Share-It as a payment processor for selling products. We used it for over 4 years now and we think it’s the best and most secure payment processor. But with the new features implemented this year is even better now!
One of the most important new feature is that now Share-It accepts PayPal payments, which means that now you can use also PayPal to buy Kreativ Sounds products! Read the rest of this entry »
While you are waiting for new Kreativ Sounds soundware to be released and if you haven’t already seen it, you gotta checkout the video below. Jeremy Ellis aka Ayro has done a great live demonstration of Reason 3 at NAMM 2007.
So, who is Jeremy Ellis? some of you might ask (including me ) … He plays the piano since age of 5 and is an excellent vocalist, keyboard and AKAI MPC player who blends elements of funk, jazz, house and electro in his eclectic freestyle live performances … read more here!
Enough talking … just watch the video, it’s top notch!
Update 2: I’ve added some more videos with Jeremy Ellis performing (he’s not human … simply amazing), as well as nice interview about his work and the way he’s using Reason.

We have two, more or less important, announcements to make for this month (March 2007) March 2008.
KS team is currently finishing PROWaves SD SOUNDesign (SD stands for sound design) which is mainly a reason refill for sound designers and it will be free for all past and future PROWaves owners. So, if you need original and good sounds for your projects, this product will help you create them really fast. This refill will be a huge resource of inspirational sounds for all reason users.
More good news is that along with the new product, PROWaves SD SOUNDesign, also an important update for PROWaves V1 will be launched. This update will add many new original presets, specially for the Combinator, but also for Subtractor and Malström.
As a small insider note is that the beginning of April ’07 will see a new product that we’ve been working on and off for the past 2 years … more info on this soon!
