Classic Synthology

‘Classic Synthology’ from Loopmasters is a nostalgic trip back in time to the hot and sweaty, cable-strewn studios of yesteryear, when analogue synthesisers and rhythm machines resembling overgrown calculators carved out a whole new genre of music for the world to hear. Recorded and produced by Harvey Summers at Broad Oak Studios, this pack takes its inspiration from many of the early Electronic music pioneers including Vangelis, Kraftwork, Brian Eno, FSOL and Orbital to name but a few.

This pack is intended to be used by today’s cutting-edge soundsmiths looking for historical sounds from the analogue behemoths of the past.

This collection includes sounds of the now legendary synths including Yamaha CS-80, Arp 2600, Minimoog, Moog Taurus Mk1, Korg MS20, Korg M1 combined with a select few modern analogue counterparts heavily processed through boutique vintage equipment including Neve and RCA pre amps, a classic, 70’s Raindirk series III console, Eventide H3000 D/SX and a AMS DMX 15-80S for a truly authentic vintage sound.

Producers should expect to hear 1 GB of quality loops and one-shot samples in tempos ranging from 90 to 150 BPM including Distorted Acid Lines, Pumping Moog Basses, Cinematic Sequences, Crunchy Beats, Epic Pads and Atmospheres, Otherworldly SFX, Squelchy Leads, Silky Smooth Synths and Gritty Drum and Percussion Shots.

In detail, expect to find 1 GB of 24-Bit/44.1kHz loops and sounds including 12 Atmos Pad Loops, 36 Bass Loops, 62 Drum Loops, 43 Synth Loops, 51 Sequenced Loops, 14 SFX Loops, 172 Drum and Glitch Shots, 239 REX2 Files and 19 soft sampler patches for Kontakt, Halion, EXS24, NN-XT and SFZ formats.
