Audiomodern Soundbox 1.3 Sampler Adds Full MPE Support
Audiomodern has released Soundbox 1.3, an important milestone update that introduces full MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support across desktop and mobile platforms. The free update upgrades the modular multi-sample engine with dedicated per-note articulations and general workflow enhancements. Existing users can access the update directly inside their Audiomodern user accounts or download the installer from the official storefront.
Expressive Performance with Full MPE Support
The headline feature of the Audiomodern Soundbox MPE update is genuine per-note dynamic control. While initial iterations offered basic polyphonic behavior, version 1.3 fully implements polyphonic pitch bend, continuous pressure (aftertouch), and per-note timbre or slide modulation.
This makes Soundbox a far more responsive tool when paired with modern MPE controllers like the Roli Seaboard, LinnStrument, or Ableton Push. Multi-sampled acoustic libraries benefit from natural vibrato and dynamic swell adjustments on individual notes within a chord, while hybrid synth patches gain rich spatial movement.
Open Architecture and ConvertWithMoss Integration
Soundbox continues to build its reputation as a community-friendly alternative to traditional, closed-format samplers. Alongside engine optimization and vector synthesis layer routing, the ecosystem now connects with the open-source ConvertWithMoss utility.
ConvertWithMoss supports bi-directional read and write functions for Soundbox. Producers can now convert their custom DecentSampler libraries, SFZ files, and standard multi-sample folders directly into native Soundbox instruments without manually remapping keyzones and velocity splits.
