Retromod Classic Hardware Synths

As the name suggests, the RetroMod series is more than just a collection of sample-based imitations – the goal of this series is to capture the soul of classic hardware synthesizers and add something new – a contemporary twist.

Each instrument is sampled meticulously and in great detail in order to guarantee the greatest realism. The samples are then combined in creative and unusual ways to offer more than just faithful recreations. Take the soul of these iconic synthesizers and push them in new directions, creating sounds simply unachievable from the source hardware. The UI design includes an XY pad assigned to parameters like FM, ring mod, distortion, and filter frequency allowing for real-time expressive manipulation. Also included is a suite of creative FX such as pristine reverbs, chorus, and growling distortion to enhance your sound design. With huge sample libraries and preset banks, the RetroMod Digital 1 allows you to add an arsenal of sound sources to your virtual studio.

DIGITAL 1

The 1980s were a magical time for musicians, with the analog palette sharing the scene with an exciting new world of digital synthesis. The period between 1981 and 1987 were breakthrough years for the great hybrid machines: the PPG Wave series, the Korg DW series, and the Prophet VS, just to mention a few. RetroMod Digital 1 brings you the best of that 80s sound: we captured thousands of waveforms generated from the original instruments to bring you a huge choice of evolving pads, shining electric pianos, metallic picked instruments, harsh basses, and loads more. Digital 1 is the ultimate virtual instrument that lets you re-experience the hybrid 80s sound.

The following instruments were sampled for RetroMod Digital 1: Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, Korg DW8000, Kawai K3, Kawai K5, and Yamaha TX81Z
