Hey everyone!

We’re proud to announce the future of our flagship virtual instrument: Current.

The feedback we received from you helped us make Current more accessible with two paths to ownership: the new Current All Access plan and a perpetual purchase option. A 30-day free trial is also available with no payment info required. Bundle upgrades are also now available for existing effect owners.

What is Current All Access?

This is a rent-to-own program that includes our flagship synthesizer, Current, its full integrated effect suite, and unlimited downloads of expansions from the Stream. Additionally, Fuse Compressor, Morph EQ, and Cluster Delay are included in the All Access plan as standalone plugins, and the remaining Current effects will be added shortly. All future effects are also included.

Every dollar you spend is credited back to you as store credit at the end of your billing cycle. Monthly plans receive $15 per month, while yearly plans receive $120 per year + $60 in bonus credit. Yearly subscribers save 33% annually.

Current Perpetual License

This option is a one-time license purchase of $199 for the full version of Current, shipped with the complete engine, integrated effects rack, and all factory content. This includes 340+ presets, 180+ wavetables, and 160+ sounds.

Perpetual license buyers get a one-year trial of Current All Access, which includes all standalone effects and unlimited expansion downloads in the Stream.

There is also a new bundle upgrade for existing customers to save 30% on Current perpetual.

What is Current?

Current is an instrument and content platform that consists of three interconnected parts: the Engine, Effects, and Stream. Together, they form a cohesive ecosystem for endless music-making, and each area will continue to expand and grow with new features and content.

Sound Engine

Current's core engine includes dual spectral wavetable oscillators, a granular sampling engine, an additive sub-oscillator, a time-stretching sampler, dual multi-mode filters, and FM routing. The integrated arpeggiator and chord generator can be used to quickly generate musical ideas, while a comprehensive modulation system makes it easy to add movement and get creative with your patches.

Integrated Effect Suite

Current's effect rack provides all of our effect plugins that can be freely loaded and rearranged. This includes Rift Distortion, Morph Eq, and Cluster Delay, Fuse Compressor, and additional unreleased effects, with more to come. Each effect includes sub-presets so you can quickly try out or save settings.

Cloud-Connected Stream

The Stream is a cloud-connected content browser that is directly integrated into the instrument. Every month, new presets, samples, and wavetables are automatically made available for download. Search, preview, favorite, and get right back to making music. The Stream also functions perfectly in offline mode, using only your local content.

Current is for everybody, and with these models in place, we believe it is much more accessible.

We want to thank you for the support and feedback you've shared with us – we couldn't do it without you.

We're looking forward to hearing what you make with it!

We’re also updating some of our other policies. We'll soon be adding 30-day trials to the rest of our software products, as well as allowing one-time license transfers for perpetual products. Both of these options will be available in the coming months.

 

All of these new numbers involved now make it sound like signing up for a Sports Betting or Poker website.

 

Is there offline activation/usage for current?

 

Hey, sounds fair, I'm glad you guys are making a proper launch after all the backlash. I have a question, can I pause and resume my montly sub whenever I want to? And, if so, will I still earn montly credits?

 

Hi! there is offline usage, but not offline activation. The only thing you cannot do while offline is download new packs from the Stream

 

Yeah.. that was quite painful, we were really not tuned into how people were feeling. It's okay though, we're very happy with the new program and excited to grow it. Hopefully with some more time the dust will settle and people will give it a shot.

You can pause / enable the all access / rent-to-own program as you'd like. You will be credited for any months you pay -- there's no penalty for cancellation.
