ES2 presets. Helix by 9 Soundware is a collection of presets for the ES2 synthesizer within Apple Logic Pro. With equal emphasis on the no-nonsense and the unfamiliar, the patches were designed in the spirit of music that defy timestamping and pigeonholing.

Presets for Sculpture and ES2. Orchestral Disorder is a collection of presets for Apple Logic Pro inspired by orchestras. The concept behind the sound set was not to closely emulate acoustic instruments, but rather to explore the possibilities of orchestral timbres without human limitations or purist biases. Featuring three main components, the multi-format product includes files for the Sculpture and ES2 synthesizers, as well as Channel Strips.

Presets for ES2 and EXS24 instruments. Drum Tree is a collection of presets and instruments for Apple Logic Pro inspired by drums. The concept behind the sound set was to adapt electronic drum timbres, commonly handled as static snapshots in the form of samples, to the keyboard paradigm and reactive qualities of synthesis. In addition to acting as source presets for resampling, these patches allow for heightened flexibility in sequencing dynamic rhythms and interactivity in performance contexts. Featuring three main components, the multi-format product includes files for the ES2 synthesizer and EXS24 sampler, as well as Channel Strips.

Sculpture presets. String by 9 Soundware is a collection of presets for the Sculpture synthesizer within Apple Logic Pro. Irregular in design, with an emphasis on forced software anomalies, the patches exploit naturalistic signal generation with a palette spanning from the sublime to the transgressive.

Effects recipes for Logic Pro. I/O by 9 Soundware is a downloadable kit of Channel Strip setting files and instructions in a PDF document for repurposing Apple Logic Pro as performance-oriented effects processors, using MIDI hardware. The effects recipes are designed for use with an expression pedal, a sustain pedal, and the pitch wheel. Breaking the mold of conventional patch products, the included documentation guides the user through the necessary setup to configure uniquely interactive signal processors within Logic Pro.

Ultrabeat presets. Drum Key by 9 Soundware is a collection of presets for the Ultrabeat drum synthesizer within Apple Logic Pro. Drawing entirely on the synthesis component of Ultrabeat (; incorporating no audio samples), the sound set is designed to repurpose the plug-in as a generator of abstract timbres, while remaining true to its rhythmic spirit. The naturalistically dynamic patches exploit elements such as noise LFOs and velocity modulation to evoke human gestures and randomness.

Aural disturbance. 666 by 9 Soundware is a set of instruments for the EXS24 sampler within Apple Logic Pro. The theme of the sound set is 666, The Number of the Beast. From drones and disturbing cry-like textures to squeals and intense noise rhythms, these sounds were designed to paint fear-inducing backdrops, as well as evoke fright.

Instruments of face melting aggression. Thrash by 9 Soundware is a set of instruments for the EXS24 sampler within Apple Logic Pro. The theme of the sound set is HEADROOM DECIMATING AUDIO. Extreme waveforms were created with one goal and one goal only: To see how gut-wrenchingly jarring and intense sound could be. These eardrum-bashing anomalies are not metalhead-friendly sounds. They are not even sound system-friendly sounds. Many of the samples look like bricks when opened with audio editing software.

Wring software. Products for genre benders and agnostics, DIYers and tweakers.

9 Soundware specializes in patches for software instruments. Its products are developed with the stance that carefully programmed patches for DAW-native instruments can be more cost effective and potentially just as inspiring as new software purchases. The brand was founded on the mantra "IT'S NOT WHAT YOU USE, BUT HOW YOU USE IT.".

9 Soundware products are created FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SOUND LIKE THEMSELVES, NOT A MUSICAL STYLE. Taking this idea further, the product line places little emphasis on hype, nostalgia, or romanticism surrounding musical instruments. The 9 Soundware approach to sound design is one which strives to reflect the spirit of those who unapologetically fly in the face of tradition.

9 Soundware is based in Somerville, MA, USA.
