Arcade's Sonic Worlds
The line up
Fully loaded with 40+ product lines. New content delivered every single day. Hear some of our favorites below.
Taped
A little vibe goes a long way. Saturate your sound with this wavy collection of tape-processed Kits. Psychedelic guitars, washed out synths, and warm drum compression congeal in swelling sidechains to satisfy all of your lo-fi, downtempo, or vaporwave cravings.
The 60s
Oh the times, they were a-changin'. From Motown to Haight Street, Woodstock to Abbey Road, the Golden Era of music brought forth surfy guitars, hippie grooves, and walls of sound in an explosion of drug-fueled creativity. Created in homage to Earth's most iconic artists, these Kits travel back to the dawn of folk, funk, and psychedelia.
Hooked
What you want, baby we got it. Mind-blowing vocal performances make up this catchy collection of undeniable earworms. Processed through pedal boards, pitch shifters, modular and analog gear, get caught up in these melodies – hook, line, and sinker.
Overture
In association with Spitfire Audio, renowned for their innovation & expertise in orchestral sampling, we are proud to present an evocative Line suitable for the beat lab or the big screen. Add drama to any track with regal brass, soothing woodwind, and massive string samples neatly packed into a diverse array of emotive Kits.
Drip
Every lyricist needs a dope producer; someone to complement their words with gliding subs, screwed hats, and repetitious melodies dipped in hypnotic syrup. That’s why we’ve assembled a who’s who of modern hip-hop essentials into a Line ready to go right out of the box. Just add bars.
Chopped
Sample chopping a cut above the rest. Chord progressions stripped for parts; melodies flipped and reversed. Handpicked performances on every instrument imaginable go under the digital knife, leaving no sound safe from mutation.
Distant Voices
Far away the pads are humming, where echoes of otherworldly vocals dissolve into the vast and never-ending drone. Lush layers of organic air bring depth to your mix and breathe life into your creative workflow, without ever getting in the way.
Poolside
Infused with mellow moods, these all-in-one beat kits bring the super chill vibes with wavy synths, heady percussive grooves, and a plethora of laid back instrumentals that come together in perfect harmony.
Vintage Synths
Meet the Analog All-Stars. This Line is packed with massive pads, hook-based leads, pulses, arps, and subby lows; all meticulously crafted into one-of-a-kind loops. The retro goodness you’ll find here is generated exclusively by the very best in classic synthesizers. Step up your game by harnessing the power of the GOATs.
The Crate
You can’t rewrite the past, but you can sample it. Dig into your grandfather’s record collection for the deepest cuts, chopped, looped and laced with modern FX, and all royalty-free. Lush orchestral pieces, delta blues, traditional swing and jazz are just a few of the tape-saturated stylings sampled straight from vinyl and ready to make a long-awaited comeback.
The 70s
Alright, alright, alright. Time to hitch a ride in a hotbox of psychedelic keys, high-flying guitars, and far-out grooves: sounds which epitomized the decade that defined “cool”. Disco, funk, soul, or rock n roll: grab a sixer and dig into papa’s brand new bag. You’d be a lot cooler if you did.
Don’t just take our word for it
“If I would have had this when I was maybe 20, I’d probably be a billionaire right now.”
“It's really dope to have something that you can go to if you need to start an idea or find some inspiration.”
“ARCADE re-imagines working with loops by adding realtime, performable manipulation that is simple yet customizable.”
“What makes ARCADE tight is they have all these sounds for space; it's just a bunch of cool sounds that you can play in between tight chords.”
“When I feel like I'm having trouble coming up with an idea, I just turn to Arcade now. It's like an idea machine.”
