Pastels (CUBE Expansion) Black Friday pricing is 51% off, which puts this harp and mallet sound pack for CUBE at $24 until Nov 11, 2026.
Pastels is an expansion from Lunacy for the CUBE plugin. It pairs glittering plucked sounds with mallet instruments, and the maker says the result adds a radiant, blooming aura to a production.
The sample set covers three families of instruments, according to the maker:
The maker calls these some of its most exquisitely sampled instruments yet.
The pack has 30 sound sources and 120 presets. If you want the Pastels expansion pack as a bundle of ready-to-play sounds, the presets are the quick route in.
The harp is multi-sampled. Articulations include staccato plucks, tremolo, glissandi and delicate harmonics, so you can go from short plucked figures to long sweeping runs.
The mallet sounds are described as a fresh take on timeless mallet-based instruments, played by world-class percussionists.
The 120 presets include contributions from sound designers JViews, Venus Theory and DataBroth, among others.
The maker positions Pastels as a fit for delicate melodies and soundscapes in lofi productions. It says the sounds work just as well in pop, hip hop, EDM and cinematic scores.
Pastels is an expansion, not a standalone plugin. You need CUBE or CUBE Mini v1.2.5 or higher to load it.
System requirements:
The maker says it is supported by all major DAWs. If you already run CUBE in your signal chain, Pastels loads there alongside your other CUBE expansions.
