Botanica (CUBE Expansion) Black Friday Deal 2026: $15, 48% off

Botanica (CUBE Expansion) Black Friday pricing is 48% off, which puts this Lunacy sound pack for CUBE at $15 until Nov 11, 2026.

Botanica is an expansion for the CUBE engine from sound designer Phritz. The maker says it blends nature and electronics, mixing organic instruments, vocals, synths and nature foley.

Phritz processed the material with granular and analog tools. The maker describes the result as a base for warm atmospheres, moving rhythms and calm soundscapes.

What is included in Botanica?

The expansion has two parts: a set of sound sources and a bank of presets.

• 20 sound sources built from sampled instruments, voices, synths and textures
• 50 presets spanning morphing textures, organic loops, blooming pads and eclectic plucks
• The sampled instruments include warehouse piano, ukuleles, strings, tambourines, sine tones, wood mallets, a trio of saxophones, rainsticks, pipe xylophones, the Mongolian morin khuur, Japanese fuurin bells, chimes, cabasa and bamboo, plus guitars

Voice samples are part of the collection too, and the full list of sources goes beyond the ones named here.

What does it need to run?

Botanica is not a standalone plugin. It loads inside CUBE or CUBE Mini, and the engine is required to use it.

That engine has to be version 1.2.5 or higher, so if you are on an older build, update it before you install the expansion.

The download is 80 MB. It runs on macOS 10.15 and higher, or on Windows 7 and higher, and the maker says it is supported by all major DAWs.

How the sounds are built

Granular processing slices source audio into tiny grains that can be stretched, scattered or layered. Analog processing adds the saturation and movement of hardware. Botanica's sources went through both, according to the maker.

That is why the presets lean toward evolving pads, layered loops and plucks instead of plain one-shot instrument hits.

Because the 50 presets sit on top of CUBE, you can load one, then reshape it with the engine's own controls and send it into your usual signal chain.

If you like to build a track from texture first, the pads and morphing textures give you a bed to write against.
