Product Description
Resident sound designer Adam Pietruszko embraces retro-futurism with Applied Acoustics Synth City — a collection of 100 presets amalgamating the nostalgia of the 1980s’ vibe with Chromaphone 2’s modern twist. Plunge into synthwave and retrowave territory all the way through futuresynth, darksynth, outrun, retro-electro, nu disco, and synth-pop with this lavish sound pack. Capturing the aesthetic of VHS B movies’ music, Synth City excels at synthesizer melodies straight out of science fiction, cyberpunk, horror, and action film soundtracks. Synth City proposes a plethora of hooks—spanning from cheese to darkness—perfect to celebrate the atmosphere of the 80s and craft your own alternative timeline.
Synth City includes:
- Sound pack for Chromaphone 2
- AAS Player plug-in (VST, AU, AAX, RTAS)
