Description

Welcome to the future of professional music production with SourceLab – the ultimate audio sandbox from Initial Audio. After over a decade of refining tools for creators, we’ve crafted a plugin that stands above the rest: 6 sound sources, each capable of being a Wavetable Oscillator, Sampler, or Loop Slicer. Designed for producers, sound designers, and composers who demand excellence, SourceLab is your gateway to unparalleled creative control. Unmatched Versatility: SourceLab is the ultimate audio sandbox with advanced routing, a 6-layer MIDI sequencer, professional effect racks, and a preset browser with tagging. Layer wavetable synths with multisampled instruments or sliced loops in ways that redefine what’s possible.

Welcome To SourceLab

At first glance, SourceLab may look like a powerful preset machine – a massive library built for producers to quickly browse high-quality content for their tracks. But look deeper, and you’ll discover a full-blown audio sandbox. From Skrillex-style wavetable synths to hyper-real multisample-based instruments like pianos, guitars, strings, and more – SourceLab gives you everything. Sliceable, pitchable loops. Drum kits, drum loops, and performance-ready patterns. All powered by Zynaptiq’s industry-leading ZTX time-stretch algorithm, one of the most advanced algorithms on the planet today.

Under the hood, SourceLab is built for performance: up to 6 sound sources per patch, each capable of loading wavetables, samples, or loops – or a blend of all three. At the core lies a powerful multi-layer MIDI sequencer. Create and arrange melodies, rhythmic patterns, or loop sequences, and stack them across layers to explore a whole new dimension of editable, generative musical ideas. Combined with advanced routing, modular FX racks, and a deeply optimized engine, SourceLab is not just a sound source – it’s a creative playground. A next-gen audio sandbox for producers to discover, build, innovate and share.

Crafted For Excellence

At Initial Audio, our mission has always been to empower creators with tools that spark real innovation. SourceLab is the culmination of over a decade of expertise — a plugin designed to break free from the limitations of traditional workflows and deliver a seamless, professional-grade experience.

With six fully independent sound sources, each capable of acting as a Wavetable Oscillator, Sampler, or Loop Slicer, SourceLab offers a level of flexibility and sonic depth rarely seen in a single instrument. You can even fine-tune the wavetable position of each individual unison voice, or trigger oscillators and samples on key release, adding a new layer of realism and creative control to your sound.

But SourceLab goes far beyond engine design. Its intelligent consolidation system allows creators to export entire libraries — including presets, MIDI files, samples, loops, and more into a single, portable file. Whether you’re building sound packs or collaborating with producers around the world, your work remains fully intact and cross-compatible across all major DAWs on both Windows and macOS.
