RetroSound MK2 KONTAKT

SYNTHiC4TE | Jan 12 2018 | 64 MB

The RetroSound MK100 is a combined synth and drum machine based on the MK100 from the early 80s, lovingly recreated for NI’s Kontakt sampler. All synth presets can be customised with different waveforms and envelopes in exactly the same way as the hardware, together with the chorus and tremolo effects. In addition we have the ability to bring Kontakt’s synth engine to bear on the source sounds, so each of the two synth layers can have it’s own independent filter and envelope settings. All the preset drum patterns and fills are present, as is the Custom Drummer. The drum voices aren’t just limited to the straight preset sounds on the hardware, but can be modified in a number ways – and in addition to the real-time pattern recording from the original, a full graphic step editor lets you edit your patterns, as well as full MIDI keyboard driven operation for real-time jamming and creative sessions.

Mastering TUTORiAL

SYNTHiC4TE | Jan 11 2018 | 3.29 GB

Learn to master at home with great results.

Mastering is not about making your music louder to compete with others. It’s not about making a track punchy or making your bass louder and its not about adding “air” or “highs”. It’s also not about using a standard preset processing chain. In fact, contrary to what most “mastering tutorials” are telling you, loudness is irrelevant and these “preset chains” of processors will rarely work in favour of your music.

Battery Leak Soundset for Zebra

SYNTHiC4TE | Jan 11 2018 | 2.1 MB

Battery Leak is a collection of 64 instruments inspired by the crunchy-smooth character of DCO synths such as the Roland Alpha Juno and dense digital timbres reminiscent of PPG wavetables, upgraded with a modern edge via Zebra’s oscillator capabilities ranging in tones from detailed multi-PWM, rich hard-sync sounds and silky superwaves to solid EDM/rave with borderline chiptune crunch. Hard to define really… basically you’re getting a diverse yet coherent, multi-range EDM orientated collection with a fair dose of niche and character. Also, the overall sound would be more like bright, digital and opened, rich in harmonics rather than heavily filtered, a little on the aggressive side but without sounding harsh, too hyped-up or distorted.
