Press kit

Gambit press kit

Gambit is the first online multiplayer VST instrument. Producers battle each other at ranked 5-minute chess inside FL Studio, Ableton Live or Logic Pro, and only the winner keeps the sounds the game generated. Every chess position is also a brand-new synth patch, so the sounds never run out.
