With a name like Retro Cazio, it probably won’t come as any great surprise to learn that SampleScience’s new free plugin emulates an old-school Casio keyboard. Specifically, we’re talking about the MT-100, a 1983 model that generated its sounds using the NEC D931 chip. This was very much an entry-level home keyboard, which explains the 20 toy-like sounds that Retro Cazio includes. There’s also a single drum kit, along with a multi-LFO, high-pass/low-pass filter, reverb, glide, an ADSR envelope and a choice of three voice modes (polyphonic, legato and mono).

Retro X Now ViTAL

P2P | 20 April 2022 | 168 MB

Let’s evoke the spirit of the synthwave era, get inspired by retro soundscapes and beam ourselves back into the future with Retro X Now! This sound bank for Vital gives you lush, dreamy pads, dark basses and neon, cyberpunk-ish synth sounds and pays tribute to an era where synth-driven artists started to bloom and took over the music world. When designing the pack it felt like building these little time capsules that embody the heart and soul of those beloved, iconic hardware synths just wasn’t enough. I also wanted to add a more modern perspective. That’s why you can – with the help of the macros – dial in fresh sonic edges to the patches. Think of sounds that are rooted in the 80’s & 90’s and are projected into the future. This makes these Vital presets widely useful across several genres… whether you produce Synthwave, Disco, Electronica, Ambient, Pop or Future Bass.

Alien Worlds WAV

FANTASTiC | 21 May 2022 | 751 MB

Alien Worlds – Retro Sci-Fi Soundscapes and Effects. It goes without saying that the best vintage sci-fi sound effects are made with the best vintage hardware tech and its contemporary boutique inspirations. This package of non-looping sound effects comprises 71 files with classic black ‘n’ white sci-fi authenticity: wobbly analog oscillators, rudimentary arpeggios, chattering circuits, and all the classic LFO modulations from pitch to noise. The paleo-ambient vibe is cold and distant, solitary and baffling, bringing to mind Eno’s simple but elusively deep Music for Films-era ruminations, as well as the best of the archetypal dronesmiths, academic electronic music soundscapers, and proto-industrial pioneers of early underground electronic music—bear in mind, these are sound effects created by a musician!

VHS Heroes 2 WAV

FANTASTiC | 04 March 2022 | 1.63 GB

VHS stands for video home system and was first introduced back in 1976 in Japan. Growing up in the late 80s and early 90s it was the video technology. Reminiscing about the movies from that era brings back a lot of great memories. Memories of action heroes, synth music and very bad karate flicks in poor quality. One thing that stood out on those classic movies was the music. Heavy analog synths sounds mixed with distorted guitars and electric pianos.
