I am pleased to announced that Søren Hybel aka Luftrum is offering rekkerd.org readers a chance to win some of his most excellent soundsets.

I recently reviewed the Luftrum 9 soundset for Diva, which impressed me greatly.

For those who are unfamiliar with Luftrum:

I am Luftrum. Sound designer, field recordist and electronic experimentalist. I have created presets for synthesizers by Steinberg, Roland, Moog, Camel Audio, Propellerheads, Xils Lab and U-He to mention a few.

I work freelance for audio companies besides releasing my own soundbanks.
I worked with Camel Audio on the Luftrum:Ambient soundbank for Alchemy containing 150 ambient presets. I also worked for Steinberg on their Zero Gravity expansion for Padshop Pro. Ambient pads and sounds are my trademark.

You now have a chance to win a copy of the Diva soundbank, or a Reason Ambient Bundle.

Luftrum Giveaway
