Audiocube's Devices
Audiocube’s stage is populated by seven core device types.
Each device has its own UI panel in the Device Editor window.
Device | Purpose | Quick-Create |
|---|---|---|
Sampler | Plays trimmed or looped audio clips with full pitch / ADSR / FX control. | Shift + Alt + S |
Emitter | Spawns physics-driven Nodes that play a sample on collision. | Shift + Alt + E |
Ticker | Generates timed “tick” pulses to trigger Samplers, Emitters, or other Tickers. | Shift + Alt + T |
Soundwall | Silent wall that occludes or reflects sound for acoustic realism. | Shift + Alt + W |
Effect Zone | Spherical multi-FX processor (pitch, filter, reverb, etc.) that colours sources inside its radius. | Shift + Alt + F |
Logic Box | Node-based pulse router for generative sequencing (Pulse, Chain, Split, Cycle, Chord, Stopper). | Shift + Alt + B |
Ambience (beta) | Plays long-form looping atmospheres with stereo/mono placement. | Shift + Alt + A |
