Arturia Storm 3.0 Music Studio...

Arturia Storm 3.0 is music creation software which accurately emulates the universe of a real recording studio...

Synthesizers, drum machines, sample players, effects, mixing desk, sequencer...

...with the same sound quality, but for a lot less money!


Create your own studio

With Storm, you can choose the virtual INSTRUMENTS you wish to use: analogue synthesizers, drum machines, sample sequencers, scratch decks etc... drag & drop and in a few seconds your studio is ready - no more complicated connections and wires everywhere!


Compose in real time

Real time synthesis and EFFECTS, a user-friendly interface and a fully automated studio provide you with an unprecedented environment for music composition.


Share your experience with other users

As an integral part of the studio, the HALL is a set of interactive tools, giving the user the ability to collaborate on-line with others. The Hall offers file sharing and downloading, chat rooms, newswires, tips and tutorials.


Learn new styles of music

The COMPOSITION WIZARD is made to help users to quickly understand the general use of the program and the different sides of creating a song. And, if you think you already have enough experience in making computer music, it can help you to learn how to compose in music styles you are not familiar with.


New Features in Storm 3.0

So what are the changes in Storm 3.0? New ergonomics, an elegant piano roll, full MIDI management, a new audio sequencer, an improved mixing table and a new synthesizer...


New Ergonomics

Storm 3.0 offers one main view to handle your entire project:

All layers can be reduced or closed so you can work the way you like. Want to play live? Just keep the studio window and jam in real-time. Want to edit, copy, paste, chunk, ... ? Bring the sequencer full-screen. Want to look for another drum machine or a voice loop? just open the Resources browser.

  • Choose instruments, effects, samples, or other Rewire applications from the Resources Browser
  • Use the rack to work in real time in your studio
  • Thanks to the studio overview layer, access all intruments within a mouse drag and check how your sound is routed through the effect
  • The professional mixing desk offers 3 sections: EQ, FX and Main. It can be reduced in size or even pulled out of the sequencer so you can place it on another window
  • The sequencer allows full control over every detail of your Audio, MIDI and pattern-based recordings. Thanks to the static recording mode, you can program your song conveniently and with the dynamic recording mode, you can sequence in real time making music on the fly. Just like the mixing desk, the sequencer can be detached from the rest of the studio

Piano Roll

Storm now comes with an ergonomic and elegant Piano Roll. Edit patterns, edit control curves, edit MIDI sequences. Choose the level of detail you need and keep an history of every action. You have total control over every simple aspect of your song.




New MIDI Features:

Storm 3 enables you to import and edit MIDI files. In addition, the software can be synchronized as Master or Slave with external harware gears.

And this is not all, all knobs within the Storm studio can be assigned to a midi channel and be controlled through a keyboard or any other hardware controller. This make it simple to integrate all your audio material.


New Audio / MIDI Sequencer

The sequencer allows full control over every detail of your Audio, MIDI or pattern-based recordings. Thanks to the static recording mode, you can program your song conveniently, and with the dynamic recording mode, sequence in real time and make music on the fly. Just like the mixing desk, the sequencer can be detached from the rest of the studio.
