As part of their Sonic Drop initiative Avid have released the second Sonic Drop of new audio content for Pro Tools - Elektron Syntakt Beats.
Pro Tools Sonic Drop was announced as part of the Pro Tools 2023.3 release. At that time there were six ‘Drops’ of content. Pro Tools Sonic Drops are available to Pro Tools subscribers or perpetual licence holders with active update plans. This initiative was always presented as a rolling programme with monthly updates so the value grows over time. We expect these on the third Thursday of every month and the first of these regular Drops was released yesterday.
Elektron Syntakt Beats is a collection of sounds created using the Elektron Syntakt hardware instrument. To find out more visit the Elektron Syntakt Beats page on the Avid website and to audition and download the sounds visit the Sonic Drop tab of Avid Link.
The Sonic Drops available so far are:
Elektron Syntakt Beats
