New Wave Synth
Our next pack of synthwave sounds was put together by sample maestros Groove Criminals. Oli Bell from Groove says:
“Synths! We’ve got our 80s influence on for this pack of synthwave samples. As usual, we’ve used a mixture of hardware and software but have leant heavily on a handful of 80s classic hardware synths. First up is our beautiful Juno-60 which handles arpeggio duties being clocked externally via MIDI to CV with some hands-on control tweaking. We also used our Mother 32 for that classic fat Moog ladder filter sound, the SH-101 for some more classic arps and the underrated (in our humble opinion) Yamaha CS5 analogue mono synth for that 80s goodness. We topped the synth loops and multis off with a collection of 80s drum hits, all harvested from our stack of drum machines. We tried to stray off the well-worn 808/909 path and include some from machines that capture that 80s sound (to us anyway), boxes like the Kawai R-50E, TR505, Alesis HR among others.”
