Novation, the U.K.-based company known for its synths and controllers, has announced a new round of offerings for its hardware users. From a free effect plugin to artist features and time-sensitive discounts, there’s plenty to explore this month.
At the center of the announcement is a new collaboration with Sonnox. For a limited time, Novation hardware owners can claim a free copy of Soften, a newly released effect plugin. A statement from the company discloses that Soften is designed to bring subtle warmth and control to your signal, helping to smooth out harsh frequencies and add a refined touch to your mix.
The update also highlights David Hilowitz, who takes a deep dive into Novation’s Bass Station, including the newly introduced Swifty Edition. His walkthrough sheds light on what continues to make the classic monosynth such a favorite among sound designers and musicians.
Meanwhile, Halina Rice is expanding the boundaries of electronic music by incorporating Novation’s Peak synthesizer into orchestral settings—an approach that blends traditional arrangements with modern synthesis in compelling new ways.
For Peak and Summit users looking for fresh inspiration, Mylar Melodies has released a custom preset pack now available through Novation Components. According to the company, Mylar walks through the new sounds in detail, offering tips on how to integrate them into both studio work and live performance.
Lastly, Novation is offering a limited-time deal for Steinberg software. Registered hardware owners can save 40% on Cubase and more through Steinberg.net, with the offer running until August 4.
