Launched January 2021, The Protovault offers a fresh perspective in the field of boutique, custom-designed sample instruments. Born of the collaboration between two industry creatives – the influential Dallas-based artist Protovolt & SURVIVE’s Grammy-nominated and Emmy-winning composer of Stranger Things, Michael Stein. The Protovault introduces unique composer sets that are designed to inspire musicians with a simple, plug-and-play approach to creating their own compositions.

The Limited Series contains 25+ custom designed sample instruments including: basses, leads, pads, strings, brass, choral, motion, arps, keys, polysynths, SFX, percussion & custom drum kits that are curated around themes. Each instrument has pre-configured channel strip dialed in with EQ, compression, FX, and plug-ins that optimize the instrument’s capabilities. Our score sets allow you to create professional sounding productions in many styles within minutes. Visit theprotovault.com/ for more information. Contact admin@theprotovault.com with questions. ...

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21
11am-12pm - LOS ANGELES (pdt)
2pm-3pm - NEW YORK (edt)
