Splice Sounds Synthwave Massive Presets | $7.99 / mo splice.com

It’s time to put down that Rubik’s cube and roll up them jacket sleeves, as the Splice Sounds squad gets all retro on your ass. For their latest pack of Massive presets they’ve gone back to the time that fashion may have forgotten but synth lovers everywhere remember fondly: the ’80s. It was a pioneering decade for analogue gear, and they’ve lovingly recreated some iconic sounds for you to get to grips with. Sonically, the choice is varied and the quality high, and with Massive’s built-in macros, you’ll be tweaking and twiddling until the cows come home. Roy Spencer VERDICT 9
