SOS Polarity Review: 5 Stars!
SOS Polarity Review: 5 Stars!
By Soniccouture | 28.10.2025
“Soniccouture continually push the extremes of sound design”.
Thanks to Sound On Sound Magazine and Dave Gale for a great review in this months issue.
‘This is clearly an instrument which requires a degree of familiarity, particularly if you want to delve deep, but at a musical level it is instantly gratifying, with substantial preset content. Soniccouture are rightly proud of this release, setting an impressive benchmark for future collaborations, which are due in the coming months.”

Markus Junnikkala has completed an extensive – 2 hours! – review of Polarity Tension.
In this time he explores many of the presets and gives his impressions of the product. It’s a great review and we recommend it to anyone interested in finding out more about Polarity.
Markus has his own Youtube channel where he reviews many sample instruments – we really like his intelligent, pragmatic approach to reviewing complicated libraries like Polarity.

What Is The Polarity Series?
What Is The Polarity Series?
By Soniccouture | 18.09.2025
We recently released Polarity | Tension, in collaboration with sound designers K/V.
This is the first in a series of instruments using our new dual-granular sampling Polarity engine.
Polarity is a very powerful and flexible engine, and our intention is to collaborate with different sound designers, giving them control of the sample and preset content, as well as to explore our own ideas for it.
The next release in the series will feature UK synthesist Ian Boddy. Titled Polarity | Modular, Ian has created a completely bespoke library of samples from his collection of modular synthesisers. He is, at the time of writing, working on preset design with Polarity, and we hope to see this project released sometime in Q4 2025.
Ian runs the DiN record label, which recently released the final instalment in its Tone Science series, which focuses on modular music. Featuring tracks by Chris Carter, Hainbach, and Scanner we encourage you to check it out here:

Sound On Sound Flowstate Review
Sound On Sound Flowstate Review
By Soniccouture | 21.04.2025
Considering that Flowstate was simply a weird little idea (codename: Purity) we had sitting on our development drive for a few years, it seems that 2025 was destined to finally be its moment; it’s already shaping up to be one of our most successful products and has captured many imaginations. Sound On Sound Magazine were no different, and they were keen to get their review out as quickly as possible in the May issue.
Read MoreMark Gordon wrote a full page feature review, summing it up thus:
“At first glance, its almost otherworldly design, with ethereal main screen and what look like alien symbols or ancient runes, makes it difficult to work out exactly what this plug‑in is all about, and that’s one of the driving forces behind its design. Creativity in music can sometimes be displaced by too much technical detail, and an air of mystery can stimulate a greater level of creativity, brought about by experimentation. Flowstate enables you to take anything from a drum loop or vocal phrase to a recording of a mountain stream or traffic noise and create unique, evolving musical soundscapes without really knowing what you’re doing! The ability to morph between the five harmonic states in real time, with additional manipulation via the central control knob, allows for an endless stream of sonic possibilities that are singular and absorbing.”
