ADD YOUR OWN SOUNDS

DRAG AND DROP SAMPLES

You can add your own sounds to the Haunted Spaces cube.

Simply select a 'User Wave' slot from the browser, then drag your audio file directly onto the interface - the sample will be automatically mapped ready to play.

THE CONTROL CUBE

VECTOR / XY CONTROLLER

Haunted Spaces is based around a 4 point vector, or 'XY' controller.

This allows you to fade between 4 different waveforms, each with their own synthesis setup. Choose between Chris Watson recordings, synth and acoustic samples, or drag your own sounds in.

The Cube can be fully automated, all movements are recordable and sync to the DAW tempo.
