Free Stuff!

This issue you get not one but two headline free gifts, in the form of Sampleson's Wursy electric piano instrument and DopeSONIX' Bass Engine 808 CM. You also get your usual stack of samples from our favourite sample-smiths GrooveCriminal and Cyclick – this month's new packs being Uplifting Melodies and Hybrid Strings. And we can't proceed any further without mentioning the fantastic Computer Music Plugin Suite, freshly updated last issue, which offers readers a full studio's worth of plugins for the price of just one magazine!

Inspiring Workshops

For the first of this month's masterclass columns, Roland Schmidt gets our pulses - and our basslines – racing, with guidance on how to make a pulsing bass with CM Plugin Suite hero GForce Axxess. Following on from that Sara Simms throws a hopeful glance to the future of trance – and helps us harness some of the new era's palette of sounds.

News and reviews

Finally, where would you be without Computer Music's sage advice on where to splash your hard-earned computer software kitty each month? A lot poorer that's for sure! This month we've reviewed Arturia FX Collection 5, Expressive E Noisy 2, Softube Flow Mastering Suite, and many more.
