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 series allow you to add an arsenal of sound sources to your virtual studio.
LoFreq Wired
44 years of analog mono synths contained in three massive virtual instruments (Wired, Classic, and Modern). LoFreq Wired includes samples from 11 intriguing synthesizers produced from 2009 to 2018. Most of the semi-modular contemporary machines are represented: from the MFB Kraftzwerk to the Pittsburgh Modular SV-1 and Dreadbox Erebus V3. Not only do the RetroMod LoFreq plug-ins render the feel of the original instruments thanks to meticulous sampling, they also add a contemporary twist deriving from the secondary multimode resonant filter, while the second oscillator helps beef up the sound and the XY Pad is designed to add your choice of subtle or aggressive color to the original sound. Go big with 16 voices of unison and rapidly generate patterns with the integrated arpeggiator – creating pulsing basses, searing leads and thick pads just got freaky!
LoFreq Classic
44 years of analog mono synths contained in three massive virtual instruments (Wired, Classic, and Modern). LoFreq Classic includes samples from 11 iconic synthesizers produced from 1974 to 1995. All the usual suspects are here, from the Oberheim SEM to the Korg MS-20 and Roland TB-303. Not only do the RetroMod LoFreq plug-ins render the feel of the original instruments thanks to meticulous sampling, they also add a contemporary twist deriving from the secondary multimode resonant filter, while the second oscillator helps beef up the sound and the XY Pad is designed to add your choice of subtle or aggressive color to the original sound. Go big with 16 voices of unison and rapidly generate patterns with the integrated arpeggiator – creating pulsing basses, searing leads and thick pads just got freaky!
LoFreq Modern
44 years of analog mono synths contained in three massive virtual instruments (Wired, Classic, and Modern). LoFreq Modern contains 11 standout instruments from 1996 to 2018, including Waldorf Pulse 1 and 2, DSTech Original Syn, Eowave Magma and more. Not only do the RetroMod LoFreq plug-ins render the feel of the original instruments thanks to meticulous sampling, they also add a contemporary twist deriving from the secondary multimode resonant filter, while the second oscillator helps beef up the sound and the XY Pad is designed to add your choice of subtle or aggressive color to the original sound. Go big with 16 voices of unison and rapidly generate patters with the integrated arpeggiator – creating pulsing basses, searing leads and thick pads just got freaky!
Digital 1
The 80s 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.
Lead
Six Clavia instruments sampled note by note, at multiple velocities and across 5 octaves, with every category of sound captured. Lush pads, shining electric pianos, cutting edge leads and PPG-like metallic sounds. RetroMod Lead is not just a simple reproduction of a collection of Clavia synthesizers but an inspiring combination of them. For example, the attack of an FM Piano generated by a modern NordLead A1 and the raw body of the sound produced by an early NordLead 1. The result is a powerful instrument with a unique personality twisting the soul of the most desirable synthesizers made by Clavia.
106
Simple and effective, the 3 classic Juno instruments have carved out a devoted following. Building on this expressive foundation, for the first time it will be possible to enjoy the sound of a virtual multi-oscillator Juno, allowing you to layer tones. Explore new depths in the Juno’s bass capabilities and enjoy the unusual chorused pads that defined the originals.
Fat
Includes all contemporary Moog synthesizers, with the exception of the Mini, for the first time in one package. Not only final, complete sounds of each instrument have been sampled but also every basic element, starting from the pure waveforms. The result is a virtual future Moog capable of generating incredibly rich sounds. Be warned, the low frequency capabilities of this instrument may damage your speakers!
