Sound Shapes DLC Packs Coming

Sony Computer Entertainemnt today announced three new Sound Packs and a Curved Terrain Pack for Sound Shapes on the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita.

The three new downloadable Sound Packs will be available in early 2013 for $0.99 each and the Curved Terrain Pack will be free, both in the PlayStation Store as well as in the new in-game Sound Shapes Music Shop, which launches today. The following Sound Packs each feature five new instruments, Beat School levels and Trophies:

• Acoustic Sound Pack: Players can bring some clean analog tones to their game with five new acoustic instruments. Strum and pick a masterpiece with guitars, dance across the ivories on the piano, or thumb up the unique sounds of the kalimba.
• Drum Kits Sound Pack: This pack is all about rhythm. Snares, hi-hats, toms and more will let you groove out everything from a cool jazz backdrop to a driving rock beat. There’s even an electronic kit for some 80’s hip-hop style jams.
• 8-Bit Sound Pack: Compose in the key of chiptune with retro bleeps, bloops, coins and other sound effects from classic games as well as modern electronic synths, bass lines and loops.
• Curved Terrain Pack: Bend, stretch and shape curves to add smooth surfaces to accompany smooth beats.
