CrumplePop 2026.5 streamlines music, voice, and cinema stem separation workflows and audio cleanup with support for Pro Tools, Samplitude, and Sequoia.
Miami, Florida, U.S.A. — May 7, 2026 — Boris FX CrumplePop expands its powerful, easy-to-use AI audio toolkit to include ARA plugin support in SoundApp. The new 2026.5 release allows users to work directly in top digital audio workstations (DAWs), including Pro Tools, Boris FX Samplitude, and Boris FX Sequoia. Additionally, CrumplePop 2026.5 introduces a simplified multi-host product offering.
Previously available only as a standalone application, the plugin version of SoundApp saves time and effort by keeping audio professionals, content creators, and podcasters within their preferred ARA application. The user-friendly workflow includes advanced AI models for music, voice, and cinema stem separation, GPU-accelerated on-the-fly processing, and one-click cleanup tools such as wind, traffic, echo, pop, and noise removal.
“Our SoundApp ARA unlocks major workflow improvements for audio professionals, letting you stay fully inside your DAW without jumping between apps to use demixing tools,” states Patrick Donohoe, Director of Product Marketing (Pro Audio), at Boris FX. “Unlike traditional plugins, you get instant results with ARA. Simply make an adjustment, see it in the plugin, and render it directly to your track. No dealing with multiple files or importing/exporting. Plus, new Processed Audio Cache and speedier model loading combine to further speed up your SoundApp plugin and standalone workflows. Everything in our 2026.5 release is built to keep your creative process uninterrupted.”

What’s New
The SoundApp ARA plugin delivers full-clip audio processing inside a user’s chosen DAW, removing real-time processing limitations of standard plugins. SoundApp analyzes the entire content of an audio file, resulting in more accurate demixing and denoising. The plugin version helps users stay in their creative workflow by eliminating outside distractions such as bouncing between apps or exporting/re-exporting files.
The Processed Audio Cache in SoundApp saves a user’s previous processing, making it easy to switch between models instantly. Apply a model to a clip once, and the processing carries over to every instance in a project. The handy feature makes comparing results and making changes effortless.
SoundApp 2026.5 also offers faster model loading and optimized performance, delivering a smoother overall workflow experience from processing clips to experimenting with different models.
