Inspired by both the current scene of synth-drenched pop and the 80s sounds that first brought the style to prominence, Synthwave is a neon-bright collection of classic to modern synth pop essentials. To create this Pack, the sound designers at ModeAudio sampled their extensive collection of analog and digital drum machines (including the hard-knocking, under-appreciated Roland TR-505) and synths, and combined them with their own specially-configured Live effects chains. In addition to the sample content, Synthwave also makes extensive use of Wavetable, demonstrating how much is achievable from this versatile synth. The result is a detailed toolkit of presets, kits, loops and clips that updates 80s synth aesthetics to the sonic standards of the 21st century.
A labour of love from start to finish, Tuned Tape Drums provides a unique twist on the classic machines we all know and love; delivering over 8,000 characterful tape drum samples from a jaw-dropping line-up of iconic drum machines and layered sound sources – processed impeccably using a 100% hardware chain throughout, and lovingly tuned across two full octaves (per sound) in the analogue domain using tape machine Varispeed!

Polite 800 introduces another famous eighties synthesizer: the Korg Poly 800. This little leight-weight plastic thing was meant to be a performance synthesizer because it can run on batteries, has guitar strap pegs and inverted key colors. On the other hand programming this thing isn´t really a performance because like the majority of the budget synths of this time the Poly 800 has to be conquered with nothing more than a number block plus an increase and decrease button. The Universal Pack contains 32 multi-sample patches that load into numerous software samplers like Kontakt (NI), NN-XT (Reason). EXS 24 (Logic), Directwave (IL) as well as each other software sampler that supports the Cakewalk sfz format.
A really rotten upright piano, totally out of tune, with all the keys disappeared. But the chassis was still complete and made such a fantastic reverb, it seemed to be everlasting. Slapping the lowest string it took almost three minutes until the sound had gone. With Volume 1 you get the original piano sound picked up at two distances plus five other sound sets using different prepared piano techniques. The audio demos are made without additional reverb.
