May 2026

Hey Reader,

Here's what shipped in May.

Releases

Vulcan got a full refresh. The Standard and Extended editions are now a single 300-preset pack, with 43 new presets added and an Ableton Live project built entirely from Vulcan sounds so you can hear where the patches sit in a finished arrangement. It's €59, available here → https://spektralisk.com/products/vulcan/​

Alongside it, NULLFIELD pairs Vulcan with Trees — 400 presets for Massive X, €69 → https://spektralisk.com/products/nullfield/​

I've also introduced new bundle for Generate synth called SIEGE. It pairs two complementary packs: Bleak and Recon. With 550 presets in total, it offers a huge selection of dark cinematic sounds across several categories → https://spektralisk.com/products/siege/​

Samplework went public on May 25. It's a new app, available at €39 full or €19 during the beta intro window. Vault members got free early access to it on May 14, which is where it had its first real workout before going wide. Includes free updates for owners.

Spektralisk Offers Hey Reader, If you build sample libraries or work with big folders of samples, you know the worst part isn't the sound design — it's everything after. Renaming files. Mapping samples across the keyboard. Building instruments by hand, one zone at a time. Samplework is a desktop app I built to remove that work. Point it at a folder of samples and an output folder — it reads the filenames, detects pitch, builds the key map, and writes ready-to-play SFZ instruments. It goes...
